Figure 1
Influence of the applied force on the resolution of nanopore DNA sequencing. The schematic shows a DNA strand stalled in the sensitive constriction of an MspA nanopore under (a) a low applied force, which allows diffusion to shuffle the bases in the constriction; and (b) a high applied force, which suppresses fluctuations.
