“…131 Additionally, identication of microcystin (MC) variants 132 and discerning the MC variants on the basis of their molecular interaction with a-hemolysin nanopore have also been carried out. 133 Currently, a-hemolysin nanopore has been used in exploring some new features of molecules, that is, the conformational heterogeneity of DNA assemblies, 134 DNA compaction instigated by Na + and K + ions, 135 determination of an intermediate in a catalyzed reaction cycle 136 unzipping mechanism of free and poly arginine-attached DNA-PNA duplexes to unveil the differences in their unzipping kinetics in a nano-conned space 137 and effect of glycerol and PEG molecules on the viscosity of aqueous solution together with their inuence on molecular motion of hairpin DNA. 138 Besides, early scanning of T790M drug resistance (infrequent mutation sequence) has become possible with a probe containing three locked nucleic acid (LNA) and a-hemolysin nanopore.…”
