“…[8] The noncovalent pore-analyte interactions, governed by the side chains of 20 proteinogenic amino acids in the pore lumen, determine the molecular recognition events, and thus the resistive-pulse readout. To this end, chemical and biological strategies such as site-directed mutagenesis, [9] native chemical ligation, [10] internal adaptor installation, [6b, 11] SpyTag-SpyCatcher chemistry, [12] sulfhydryl chemistry, [13] and 2-cyanobenzothiazole (CBT) chemistry, [14] have been developed and used to facilitate nanopore engineering and functionalization. [15] The ideal scenario to manipulate the properties of nanopore building blocks without the limitation of amino acid site, type, number or reactivity however has not been achieved.…”
