Abstract:

As an new conceptual single molecular interface, the biomolecular nanopore can accommodate only a single molecule and contains abundant amino acid residues in the lumen, providing an appropriate confinement for single molecule detection. Herein, a generalized method is proposed for the construct of single molecular interface based on membrane protein. The method is flexible, controllable and repeatable. The characterization of D209R mutation with Poly(dA)4 illustrate that the selectivity of aerolysin single molecular interface is related the electrostatic properties at the entrance of nanopore, which deepens our understanding of aerolysin single molecular interface, providing a paradigm for rational design of functional single molecular interface.

Key words: Aerolysin, Single molecular interface, Nanopores, Single molecule analysis
