Threading single proteins through pores to compare their energy landscapes.

Abstract excerpt

Translocation of proteins is correlated with structural fluctuations that access conformational states higher in free energy than the folded state. We use electric fields at the solid-state nanopore to control the relative free energy and occupancy of different protein conformational states at the single-molecule level. The change in occupancy of different protein conformations as a function of electric field...
