DESCRIPTION
In our bodies, the transfer of genetic information, viral infections and protein trafficking, as well as the synthesis and degradation of biomolecules are all phenomena that require the transport of molecules through channels. In a new study scientists have shown how to alter external factors such as external voltage to control the transport of a sample molecule through a test nanopore.
