“…200,201 Other covalent surface modifications Nanopore surfaces that expose carboxyl groups are often coated by reaction with carbodiimide moieties for coupling molecules of interest. 123,127,237,238,[240][241][242][243][244][245][246][247]254 This technique works well on the walls of nanopores in polymer films and is robust and versatile, particularly for imparting specificity for detection of specific DNA strands or other biomolecules. 217,218,223,224,227,229,232,244,254 The same coupling chemistry has been employed to engineer nanopore systems that can be gated 210,212,[214][215][216]219,221,235,238,241,246 or to generate nanopore diodes.…”
