Proteins are the structural elements and machinery of cells responsible for a functioning
biological architecture and homeostasis. Advances in nanotechnology are catalyzing key …

Plasmonic and nanopore sensors have separately received much attention for achieving
single‐molecule precision. A plasmonic “hotspot” confines and enhances optical excitation …

Electroosmosis is a fascinating effect where liquid motion is induced by an applied electric
field. Counter ions accumulate in the vicinity of charged surfaces, triggering a coupling …

Nanopores are powerful tools for single‐molecule sensing of biomolecules and
nanoparticles. The signal coming from the molecule to be analyzed strongly depends on its …

In two decades, the solid state and polymer nanopores became attractive method for the
protein sensing with high specificity and sensitivity. They also allow the characterization of …

Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide and the leading cause of death.
Early screening of lung cancer is exceptionally essential for later treatment. Abnormal lung …

Enzymes and motor proteins are dynamic macromolecules that coexist in a number of
conformations of similar energies. Protein function is usually accompanied by a change in …

Solid‐state nanopores are a mimic of innate biological nanopores embedded on lipid
membranes. They are fabricated on thin suspended layers of synthetic materials that provide …

Proteins perform a huge number of central functions in living organisms, thus all the new
techniques allowing their precise, fast and accurate characterization at single-molecule level …

Direct structural and dynamic characterization of protein conformers in solution is highly
desirable but currently impractical. Herein, we developed a single molecule gold plasmonic …
