Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have developed stable lipid bilayer using droplet contact method. This method allows us to measure current signals of larger-sized nanopore proteins with the portable system. Using this system, we are able to measure a serine protease and a toxin protein with DNA aptamer using the large nanopore at the single molecule level.
