Patent number: 12584883Abstract: A method is provided of controlling the functionality of a substrate containing at least one nanopore. The method includes the steps of: introducing to the substrate a solution containing a molecular construct having a body formation which defines an aperture and a tail formation extending from the body formation; applying a potential difference across the substrate to thread the tail formation through the nanopore thereby docking the molecular construct to the substrate with the aperture aligned with the nanopore such that the sleeve formation lines the nanopore; and expelling the molecular construct from the substrate by varying the potential difference. A DNA construct for docking to a substrate having a nanopore is also provided, the construct having a body formation which defines an aperture, and a tail formation extending from the body formation for threading through the nanopore to dock the construct to the substrate with the aperture and nanopore in alignment.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2021Date of Patent: March 24, 2026Assignee: Cambridge Enterprise LimitedInventors: Ulrich Keyser, Nicholas Bell, Tim Liedl, Marc Ablay, Caterina Ducati
