Sizing the Bacillus anthracis PA63 Channel with Nonelectrolyte Poly(ethylene glycols)

August 1, 2008
Author(s)
Brian J. Nablo, Kelly Halverson, Joseph W. Robertson, Tam Nguyen, Rekha Panchal, Rick Gussio, Sina Bavari, Oleg V. Krasilnikov, John J. Kasianowicz
Non-electrolyte polymers of poly(ethylene glycol), PEG, were used to estimate the diameter of the ion channel formed by Bacillus anthracis protective antigen 63, PA63. Based on the ability of different molecular weight PEGs to partition into the pore and

Nanoscopic Porous Sensors

July 1, 2008
Author(s)
John J. Kasianowicz, Joseph W. Robertson, Elaine Chan, Joseph E. Reiner, Vincent M. Stanford
There are thousands of different nanometer-scale pores in biology,many of which act as sensors for specific chemical agents. Recent work suggests that protein and solid-state nanopores have many potential uses in a wide variety of analytical applications

Stable Insulating Tethered Bilayer Lipid Membranes

June 2, 2008
Author(s)
Inga K. Vockenroth, Christian Ohm, Joseph W. Robertson, Duncan J. McGillivray, Mahias Losche, Ingo Koper
Tethered bilayer lipid membranes have been shown to be an excellent model system for biological membranes. Coupling of a membrane to a solid supports creates a stable system that is accessible for various surface analytical tools. Good electrical sealing

Single Molecule Mass Spectrometry in Solution Using a Solitary Nanopore

May 15, 2007
Author(s)
Joseph W. Robertson, Claudio G. Rodrigues, Oleg V. Krasilnikov, Vincent M. Stanford, Kenneth A. Rubinson, John J. Kasianowicz
A solitary protein nanometer-scale pore provides the basis for single molecule mass spectrometry in solution. Individual poly(ethylene glycol) molecules of different mass that enter a nanopore cause distinct and statistically resolved conductance states
