摘要:

纳米孔-可以传输离子和分子的纳米尺寸的孔-是用于基因组筛选,特别是DNA测序的非常有前途的装置。然而,固态孔和生物孔都有缺点,即构成孔的通道很长,即DNA分子中两个碱基之间距离的10-100倍(对于单链DNA为0.5nm)。在这里,我们证明了有可能实现和使用石墨烯单层中制造的纳米孔用于单分子DNA易位。通过将石墨烯薄片放置在氮化硅膜中的微米尺寸孔上并使用电子束在石墨烯中钻出纳米尺寸孔来获得孔。当单个DNA分子通过孔移位时,在通过纳米孔的离子电流中观察到特征性的暂时电导变化,为未来的基因组筛选奠定了基础。

英文摘要:

Nanopores -- nanosized holes that can transport ions and molecules -- are very promising devices for genomic screening, in particular DNA sequencing. Both solid-state and biological pores suffer from the drawback, however, that the channel constituting the pore is long, viz. 10-100 times the distance between two bases in a DNA molecule (0.5 nm for single-stranded DNA). Here, we demonstrate that it is possible to realize and use ultrathin nanopores fabricated in graphene monolayers for single-molecule DNA translocation. The pores are obtained by placing a graphene flake over a microsize hole in a silicon nitride membrane and drilling a nanosize hole in the graphene using an electron beam. As individual DNA molecules translocate through the pore, characteristic temporary conductance changes are observed in the ionic current through the nanopore, setting the stage for future genomic screening.
