Recent Advances In Nanopore Sensing Dagger

Nanopore sensing is developing into a powerful label-free approach to investigate the features of biomolecules at the single-molecule level. When a charged molecule is captured within a nanopore, it modulates the ionic current, which can be recorded in real time to reveal the properties of the target molecule. To date, nanopores have been used to sense a variety of analytes, including DNA, RNA, proteins, enzymes, small molecules, cancer cells, and metal ions, and can also provide information on biomolecular structures. In this review, we highlight the progress made in nanopore sensing over the past five years (2016-2020), and provide an outlook on future developments and directions in the field
