Abstract:
Developed a technique for immobilizing single molecules of the 26S proteasome in the region of a solid-state SiN nanopore under the action of an applied electric field. The process of immobilization of a single molecule of the 26S proteasome leads to a change in the ion current through the nanopore by 20%. Further development of this technique may allow highly efficient immobilization of single biomolecules in order to study their conformational activity.
Keywords:nanopore, solid-state nanopore, nanopore sensor, single molecule detection, 26S-proteasome.
