Abstract
The attractive interactions between aromatic rings, also known as π-π interactions, have been widely used for decades. However, the origin of π-π interactions remains controversial due to the difficulties in experimentally measuring the weak interactions between π-systems. Here, we construct an elaborate system to accurately compare the strength of the π-π interactions between phenylalanine derivatives via molecular exchange processes inside a protein nanopore. Based on quantitative comparison of binding strength, we find that in most cases, the π-π interaction is primarily driven by dispersive attraction, with the electrostatic interaction playing a secondary role and tending to be repulsive. However, in cases where electronic effects are particularly strong, electrostatic induction may exceed dispersion forces to become the primary driving force for interactions between π-systems. The results of this study not only deepen our understanding of π-stacking but also have potential implications in areas where π-π interactions play a crucial role.

Abstract
Nanopore sensing technology is an emerging analysis method with the advantages of simple operation, high sensitivity, fast output and being label free, and it is widely used in protein analysis, gene sequencing, biomarker detection, and other fields. The confined space of the nanopore provides a place for dynamic interactions and chemical reactions between substances. The use of nanopore sensing technology to track these processes in real time is helpful to understand the interaction/reaction mechanism at the single-molecule level. According to nanopore materials, we summarize the development of biological nanopores and solid-state nanopores/nanochannels in the stochastic sensing of dynamic interactions and chemical reactions. The goal of this paper is to stimulate the interest of researchers and promote the development of this field.

Abstract
The study of a single-molecule reaction under nanoconfinement is beneficial for understanding the reactive intermediates and reaction pathways. However, the kinetics model of the single-molecule reaction under confinement remains elusive. Herein we engineered an aerolysin nanopore reactor to elaborate the single-molecule reaction kinetics under nanoconfinement. By identifying the bond-forming and non-bond-forming events directly, a four-state kinetics model is proposed for the first time. Our results demonstrated that the single-molecule reaction kinetics inside a nanopore depends on the frequency of individual reactants captured and the fraction of effective collision inside the nanopore confined space. This insight will guide the design of confined nanopore reactors for resolving the single-molecule chemistry, and shed light on the mechanistic understanding of dynamic covalent chemistry inside confined systems such as supramolecular cages, coordination cages, and micelles. A four-state kinetics model is proposed to reveal the kinetics of a single-molecule reaction under nanopore confinement.![]()

Abstract
A biological nanopore is one of the predominant single-molecule approaches as a result of its controllable single-biomolecule interface, which could reflect the "intrinsic" information on an individual molecule in a label-free way. Because the current blockage is normally treated as the most important parameter for nanopore identification of every single molecule, the fluctuation of current blockage for certain types of molecules, defined as full width at half maximum (fwhm) of current blockage, actually owns a dominant influence on nanopore resolution. Therefore, controlling the fwhm of current blockage of molecules is critical for the sensing capability of the nanopore. Here, taking an aerolysin nanopore as a model, by precisely controlling the functional group in this single-biomolecule interface, we could narrow the fwhm of nanopore current blockage for DNA identification and prolong the duration inside the nanopore. Moreover, a substantial correlation between fwhm of current blockage and duration is established, showing a non-monotonic variation. Besides, the mechanism is also clarified with studying the detailed current blockage events. This proposed correlation is further demonstrated to be applied uniformly across different mutant aerolysins for a certain DNA. This study proposes a new strategy for regulating molecular sensing from the duration of the analyte, which could guide the resolution of heterogeneity analysis using nanopores.

Abstract
Posttranslational modifications (PTMs) affect protein function/dysfunction, playing important roles in the occurrence and development of tauopathies including Alzheimer's disease. PTM detection is significant and still challenging due to the requirements of high sensitivity to identify the subtle structural differences between modifications. Herein, in terms of the unique geometry of the aerolysin (AeL) nanopore, we elaborately engineered a T232K AeL nanopore to detect the acetylation and phosphorylation of Tau segment (Pep). By replacing neutral threonine (T) with positively charged lysine (K) at the 232 sites, the T232K and K238 rings of this engineered T232K AeL nanopore corporately work together to enhance electrostatic trapping of the acetylated and phosphorylated Tau peptides. Translocation speed of the monophosphorylated Pep-P was decelerated by up to 46 folds compared to the wild-type (WT) AeL nanopore. The prolonged residences within the T232K AeL nanopore enabled to simultaneously identify the monoacetylated Pep-Ac, monophosphorylated Pep-P, di-modified Pep-P-Ac and non-modified Pep. The tremendous potential is demonstrated for PTM sensing by manipulating non-covalent interactions between nanopores and single analytes.

Abstract
Biological nanopores are revolutionizing human health by the great myriad of detection and diagnostic skills. Their nano-confined area and ingenious shape are suitable to investigate a diverse range of molecules that were difficult to identify with the previous techniques. Additionally, high throughput and label-free detection of target analytes instigated the exploration of new bacterial channel proteins such as Fragaceatoxin C (FraC), Cytolysin A (ClyA), Ferric hydroxamate uptake component A (FhuA) and Curli specific gene G (CsgG) along with the former ones, like α-hemolysin (αHL), Mycobacterium smegmatis porin A (MspA), aerolysin, bacteriophage phi 29 and Outer membrane porin G (OmpG). Herein, we discuss some well-known biological nanopores but emphasize on MspA and compare the effects of site-directed mutagenesis on the detection ability of its mutants in view of the surface charge distribution, voltage threshold and pore-analyte interaction. We also discuss illustrious and latest advances in biological nanopores for past 2-3 years due to limited space. Last but not the least, we elucidate our perspective for selecting a biological nanopore and propose some future directions to design a customized nanopore that would be suitable for DNA sequencing and sensing of other nontrivial molecules in question.

Abstract
The transport of molecules and ions through biological nanopores is governed by interaction networks among restricted ions, transported molecules, and residue moieties at pore inner walls. However, identification of such weak ion fluctuations from only few tens of ions inside nanopore is hard to achieve owing to electrochemical measurement limitations. Here, we developed an advanced frequency method to achieve qualitative and spectral analysis of ion interaction networks inside a nanopore. The peak frequency fm reveals the dissociation rate between nanopore and ions; the peak amplitude am depicts the amount of combined ions with the nanopore after interaction equilibrium. A mathematical model for single-molecule frequency fingerprint achieved the prediction of interaction characteristics of mutant nanopores. This single-molecule frequency fingerprint is important for classification, characterization, and prediction of synergetic interaction networks inside nanoconfinement.

Abstract
DNA lesions such as metholcytosine(mC), 8-OXO-guanine (OG), inosine (I), etc. could cause genetic diseases. Identification of the varieties of lesion bases are usually beyond the capability of conventional DNA sequencing which is mainly designed to discriminate four bases only. Therefore, lesion detection remains a challenge due to massive varieties and less distinguishable readouts for structural variations at the molecular level. Moreover, standard amplification and labeling hardly work in DNA lesion detection. Herein, we designed a single molecule interface from the mutant aerolysin (K238Q), whose sensing region shows high compatibility to capture and then directly convert a minor lesion into distinguishable electrochemical readouts. Compared with previous single molecule sensing interfaces, the temporal resolution of the K238Q aerolysin nanopore is enhanced by two orders, which has the best sensing performance in all reported aerolysin nanopores. In this work, the novel K238Q could discriminate directly at least three types of lesions (mC, OG, I) without labeling and quantify modification sites under the mixed heterocomposition conditions of the oligonucleotide. Such a nanopore electrochemistry approach could be further applied to diagnose genetic diseases at high sensitivity.

Abstract
Nonribosomal peptides (NRPs) are a type of secondary metabolites mostly originated from microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. Their proteolytic stability, highly selective bioactivity, and microorganism-specificity have made them an attractive source of drugs for the pharmaceutical industry. Herein, with microcystins (MCs) as a NRP model, we, for the first time, proposed a sensitive method to study the interactions between NRPs and the protein nanopore. Due to the large molecular size (~3 nm diameter) of MCs and their net negative charges, MCs failed to translocate through the α-hemolysin (α-HL) protein channel. Our results demonstrated that the biomolecular interaction of MC-α-HL protein was significantly affected by the applied potential bias. The constant blockage amplitude in the voltage-dependent studies indicated that the current modulation events were dominantly contributed to the bumping interaction between MCs and the α-HL protein under the electrophoretic force. The mean residence time of the bumping events exhibited a two-stage decrease (from 1.90 ms to 1.02 ms, and from 1.02 ms to 0.69 ms) at the threshold voltages of -70 mV and -100 mV, respectively. Using our strategy (i.e., based on their electrophoretic driven interaction with the α-HL protein pore), discrimination of different MC molecules (MC-LR, MC-RR, MC-YR and linear analog) with varied branched residues could be accomplished. This work should provide an insight in developing a rapid and effective method for the identification of cyclic NRPs as valuable biomarkers for fungal infections.
