This Review explores the dynamic behavior of water within nanopores and biological
channels in lipid bilayer membranes. We focus on molecular simulation studies, alongside …

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 have recently been used to identify and fingerprint proteins. However, because
proteins, unlike DNA, do not have a uniform charge, the electrophoretic force cannot in …

Nanopores are promising single-molecule tools for the electrical identification and
sequencing of biomolecules. However, the characterization of proteins, especially in real …

The lack of an efficient, low-cost sequencing method has long been a significant bottleneck
in protein research and applications. In recent years, the nanopore platform has emerged as …

The interaction between nanoparticles dispersed in a fluid and nanopores is governed by
the interplay of hydrodynamical, electrical, and chemical effects. We developed a theory for …

Biological nanopores are emerging as sensitive single-molecule sensors for proteins and
peptides. The heterogeneous charge of a polypeptide chain, however, can complicate or …

The detection of analytes and the sequencing of DNA using biological nanopores have seen
major advances over recent years. The analysis of proteins and peptides with nanopores …

The synergy of life sciences discoveries, biomolecular and protein engineering advances,
and groundbreaking nanofabrication technologies, has introduced over the past years the …

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 …
