Abstract

By exploiting the capabilities of steady-state electrochemical measurements, we have measured the inner diameter of a lipid nanotube using Fick's first law of diffusion in conjunction with an imposed linear concentration gradient of electroactive molecules over the length of the nanotube. Fick's law has been used in this way to provide a direct relationship between the nanotube diameter and the measurable experimental parameters change in current and nanotube length. Catechol was used to determine the change in current attributed to its flux out of the nanotube.
