Abstract
Using nanopore for DNA unzipping has been extensively studied. By measuring the voltage-dependent duration of current blocks produced by the unzipping process, one can evaluate the force and energy involved in the double strands hybridization. However, in the real-time biosensing, other molecules co-existing in the mixture may also produce blocks in similar amplitude and duration. Therefore a characteristic current signature is needed to discriminate the unzipping signal from other blockades. Here we identify a novel molecular signature that can reveal sequential steps in DNA unzipping in the nanopore.
