Single-molecule detection

Single-molecule detection refers to methods that observe individual molecules rather than measuring only bulk averages. Nanopores are useful for single-molecule sensing because each molecule can produce a distinct signal while interacting with the pore.

What can be detected

DNA and RNA molecules.
Peptides and proteins.
Small molecules and metabolites.
Biomarkers related to disease or environmental monitoring.

Why it matters

Single-molecule methods can reveal heterogeneity, rare events, molecular modifications, and transient interactions that may be hidden in ensemble measurements.

-'''Einzel-Molekülerkennung''' bezieht sich auf Methoden, die einzelne Moleküle beobachten, anstatt nur durchschnittliche Werte von Molekülen in der Masse zu messen. Nanoporen sind für die Einzel-Molekülerkennung nützlich, da jedes Molekül während der Interaktion mit dem Poren eine eindeutige Signatur erzeugen kann.

-Einzel-Molekülmethoden können Heterogenität, seltene Ereignisse, molekulare Modifikationen und vorübergehende Interaktionen aufdecken, die in Ensemble-Messungen verborgen bleiben können.
