Front Cover: Electroosmotic Facilitated Protein Capture and Transport through Solid‐State Nanopores with Diameter Larger than Length (Small Methods 11/2020)

Abstract

In article number 1900893, Yin Zhang, Jingjie Sha, Yunfei Chen, and co-workers study the behaviors of streptavidin electrically facilitated transport through nanopores. The frequency of streptavidin captured in nanopores is non-monotonously dependent on both pore size and bias voltage. Theoretical results attribute this phenomenon to the inhomogeneous electroosmotic flow velocity distribution in the nanopore.
