Zhu, Zhentong published the artcileLow-Noise Nanopore Enables In-Situ and Label-Free Tracking of a Trigger-Induced DNA Molecular Machine at the Single-Molecular Level, Synthetic Route of 123-39-7, the main research area is nanopore DNA machine.
Solid-state nanopores have shown special high potential in a label-free mol. assay, structure identification, and target-index at the single-mol. level, even though frustrating elec. baseline noise is still one of the major factors that limit the spatial resolution and signaling reliability of solid-state nanopores, especially in small target detection. Here the authors develop a significant and easy-operating noise-reduction approach via mixing organic solvents with high dielec. constants into a traditional aqueous electrolyte. The strategy is generally effective for pores made of different materials, such as the most commonly used conical glass (CGN) or SiNx. While the mechanism should be multisourced, MD simulations suggest the noise reduction may partially arise from the even ionic distribution caused by the addition of higher dielec. species. Among all solvents exptl. tested, the two with the highest dielec. constants, formamide and methylformamide, exhibit the best noise reduction effect for target detection of CGN. The power spectral d. at the low-frequency limit is reduced by nearly 3 orders with the addition of 20% formamide. The work qualifies the reliability of solid-state nanopores into much subtler scales of detection, such as dsDNAs under 100 bp. As a practical example, bare CGN is innovatively employed to perform in-situ tracking of trigger-responsive DNA machine forming oligomers.
