Abstract

A highly sensitive and selective bioinspired ionic gate that can be driven by silver (I) ions is reported by L. Wen and co-workers. This nano-device, described on page 543, is demonstrated by grafting specific response DNA on the interior surface of ion track-etched conical nanochannels. The switches between the OFF-state and the ON-state are mainly dependent on silver (I) ions and cysteine. Such a biomimetic nanodevice shows potential application in sensing, pharmaceuticals, and sterilization.
