| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The challenge in highly accurate identification of each nucleotide is slowing and stabilizing DNA translocation velocity. For this purpose, DNA conformation and drift-diffusion motion immediately before and after translocation should be investigated. In this study, an optical microscopic method with 100-nm and 0.1-ms resolution is developed to observe DNA coiling immediately after translocation and its motion. Characteristic DNA translocation dynamics caused by the electric field in the vicinity of nanopore exit is obtained and the mechanism is discussed in detail. To achieve higher spatial resolution aiming to single-molecule sequencing, the possibility of combination with STED and plasmonic nanopore is also demonstrated.
