Abstract:
Nanopore sensing technology is an emerging analysis method with the advantages of simple operation, high sensitivity, fast output and being label free, and it is widely used in protein analysis, gene sequencing, biomarker detection, and other fields. The confined space of the nanopore provides a place for dynamic interactions and chemical reactions between substances. The use of nanopore sensing technology to track these processes in real time is helpful to understand the interaction/reaction mechanism at the single-molecule level. According to nanopore materials, we summarize the development of biological nanopores and solid-state nanopores/nanochannels in the stochastic sensing of dynamic interactions and chemical reactions. The goal of this paper is to stimulate the interest of researchers and promote the development of this field.
