Abstract excerpt
Here we describe a new type of biosensor element for detecting proteins in solution at nanomolar concentrations. We tethered a 3.4 kDa polyethylene glycol chain at a defined site within the lumen of the transmembrane protein pore formed by staphylococcal alpha-hemolysin. The free end of the polymer was covalently attached to a biotin molecule. On incorporation of the modified pore into a lipid bilayer, the...
