Capturing real-time electron transfer, enzyme activity, molecular dynamics, and biochemical messengers in living cells is essential for understanding the signaling pathways cellular communications. However, there no generalizable method characterizing a broad range of redox-active species single cell at resolution compartments. Although nanoelectrodes have been applied intracellular detection species, fabrication to maximize signal-to-noise ratio probe remains challenging because stringent...

Single-molecule measurements have greatly enhanced our understanding of living systems. Biological systems offer nanopores, a sub-class membrane proteins, the well-defined confined space for accommodating single molecule. The biological nanopore acts as single-biomolecule interface capturing and identifying molecule interest, thus it can be used single-molecule sensor. In this Perspective, we focus on nanopore-based interfaces detection. First, outline design interface, which provides rich...
β-Amyloid 42 (Aβ42) is the predominant form of amyloid peptide, which found in plaques brains Alzheimer's (AD) patients and one most abundant components aggregates. Information Aβ42 aggregation states essential for developing an understanding pathologic process amyloidoses. Here, we used α-hemolysin (α-HL) pores to probe different transition presence β-cyclodextrin (β-CD), a promoter aggregations, Congo red (CR), inhibitor aggregations. Analyzing characteristic transit duration times...

The volume exclusion model has been proposed corrected to describe blockage. However, increasing evidence shows nonconformity with this model, suggesting that within should be entirely reconsidered. Here, we revisit origin blockage from theoretical perspective propose noncovalent interactions between affect conductance solution inside...
Chirality is essential in nearly all biological organizations and chemical reactions but rarely considered due to technical limitations identifying L/D isomerization. Using OmpF, a membrane channel from Escherichia coli with an electrostatically asymmetric constriction zone, allows discriminating chiral amino acids single peptide. The heterogeneous distribution of charged residues OmpF causes strong lateral electrostatic field at the constriction. This laterally zone forces sidechains...
