Abstract: The present disclosure relates to relates methods and associated compositions that provide fast, efficient site-selective conjugation of a protein, such as the pore-forming protein ?-hemolysin, to a biomolecule, such as a DNA polymerase, and the use of such site-selective protein-biomolecule conjugates in nanopore devices and methods.

Abstract: A method of conjugating a substrate includes exchanging a counter ion associated with a biomolecule with a lipophilic counter ion to form a biomolecule complex, dispersing the biomolecule complex in a nonaqueous solvent, and coupling the biomolecule complex to a substrate in the presence of the nonaqueous solvent.

Abstract: The methods described herein provide a means of producing an array of spatially separated proteins. The method relies on covalently attaching each protein of the plurality of proteins to a structured nucleic acid particle (SNAP), and attaching the SNAPs to a solid support.

Abstract: A method of forming a polymer matrix array includes applying an aqueous solution into wells of a well array. The aqueous solution includes polymer precursors. The method further includes applying an immiscible fluid over the well array to isolate the aqueous solution within the wells of the well array and polymerizing the polymer precursors isolated in the wells of the well array to form the polymer matrix array. An apparatus includes a sensor array, a well array corresponding to the sensor array, and an array of polymer matrices disposed in the well array.
