Section:Abstract
Electrostatic interactions dominate the diffusion of proteins in a nanochannel, which was measured and modeled for pH values above and below the isoelectric points of three lectin proteins. Maximal diffusion coefficients were obtained when the proteins were neutral at their pI. This pH-controlled transport led to a separation of biomolecules across the nanochannel. A pI shift was observed, due to reversible adsorption of proteins on the walls, which affects the pH in the nanochannel.

Effect of Nanochannel Diameter and Debye Length on Ion Current Rectification in a Fluidic Bipolar Diode
Kunwar Pal Singh and Manoj KumarThe Journal of Physical Chemistry C2011 115 (46), 22917-22924Effect of Nanochannel Diameter and Debye Length on Ion Current Rectification in a Fluidic Bipolar Diode
Kunwar Pal Singh and Manoj KumarThe Journal of Physical Chemistry C2011 115 (46), 22917-22924We have simulated ion current rectification (ICR) in a bipolar nanochannel fluidic diode for different nanochannel diameters, electrolyte concentrations, and surface charge densities. The ICR decreases with diameter of the fluidic nanochannel due to ...
