Abstract
The development of flexible and reconfigurable sensors that can be readily tailored toward different molecular analytes constitutes a key goal and formidable challenge in biosensing. In this regard, synthetic nanopores have emerged as potent physical transducers to convert molecular interactions into electrical signals. Yet, systematic strategies to functionalize their surfaces with receptor proteins for the selective detection of molecular analytes remain scarce. Addressing these limitations, a general strategy is presented to immobilize nanobodies in a directional fashion onto the surface of track-etched nanopores exploiting copper-free click reactions and site-specific protein conjugation systems. The functional immobilization of three different nanobodies is demonstrated in ligand binding experiments with green fluorescent protein, mCherry, and α-amylase (α-Amy) serving as molecular analytes. Ligand binding is resolved using a combination of optical and electrical recordings displaying quantitative dose-response curves. Furthermore, a change in surface charge density is identified as the predominant molecular factor that underlies quantitative dose-responses for the three different protein analytes in nanoconfined geometries. The devised strategy should pave the way for the systematic functionalization of nanopore surfaces with biological receptors and their ability to detect a variety of analytes for diagnostic purposes.

Abstract
This work depicts the original combination of electrochemiluminescence (ECL) and bipolar electrochemistry (BPE) to map in real-time the oxidation of silicon in microchannels. We fabricated model silicon-PDMS microfluidic chips, optionally containing a restriction, and monitored the evolution of the surface reactivity using ECL. BPE was used to remotely promote ECL at the silicon surface inside microfluidic channels. The effects of the fluidic design, the applied potential and the resistance of the channel (controlled by the fluidic configuration) on the silicon polarization and oxide formation were investigated. A potential difference down to 6 V was sufficient to induce ECL, which is two orders of magnitude less than in classical BPE configurations. Increasing the resistance of the channel led to an increase in the current passing through the silicon and boosted the intensity of ECL signals. Finally, the possibility of achieving electrochemical reactions at predetermined locations on the microfluidic chip was investigated using a patterning of the silicon oxide surface by etched micrometric squares. This ECL imaging approach opens exciting perspectives for the precise understanding and implementation of electrochemical functionalization on passivating materials. In addition, it may help the development and the design of fully integrated microfluidic biochips paving the way for development of original bioanalytical applications.

Abstract
In the 90s, the development of a novel single molecule technique based on nanopore sensing emerged. Preliminary improvements were based on the molecular or biological engineering of protein nanopores along with the use of nanotechnologies developed in the context of microelectronics. Since the last decade, the convergence between those two worlds has allowed for biomimetic approaches. In this respect, the combination of nanopores with aptamers, single-stranded oligonucleotides specifically selected towards molecular or cellular targets from an in vitro method, gained a lot of interest with potential applications for the single molecule detection and recognition in various domains like health, environment or security. The recent developments performed by combining nanopores and aptamers are highlighted in this review and some perspectives are drawn.
