DNA sequencing and hence genomics have been transformed over the last decade by the
commercialization of inexpensive, massively parallel, short-read sequencing technology …

Over the decades, widespread advances have been achieved on nanochannels, including
nanochannel-based DNA sequencing, single-molecule detection, smart sensors, and …

Nanochannels with functional elements have shown promise for DNA sequencing, single-
molecule sensing, and ion gating. Ionic current measurement is currently a benchmark, but …

Conformational heterogeneity is emerging as a defining characteristic of enzyme function.
However, understanding the role of protein conformations requires their thermodynamic and …

Monosaccharides, such as d‐glucose and d‐fructose, exist in aqueous solution as an
equilibrium mixture of cyclic isomers and can be detected with boronic acids by the …

Biological membranes provide a physical boundary that separates the inside and outside of
a cell or organelle. They also mediate signal transduction and transport of various molecules …

Heteromeric pore-forming proteins often contain recognition patterns or stereospecific
selection filters. However, the construction of heteromeric pore-forming proteins for single …
