Single DNA rotaxanes of a transmembrane pore protein.
Threading a molecular needle: An α-hemolysin transmembrane pore can be threaded in a desired orientation by DNA-poly(ethylene glycol) (DNA-PEG) hybrid strands to yield functional rotaxanes (see figure). The single-molecule rotaxanes are stable and have a reversible two-state switching capacity that...
