Molecular Transport Across Ionic Liquid--Aqueous Electrolyte Interface in a MoS2 nanopore
Manish Shankla and Aleksei Aksimentiev
What happens when we electify the interface of two-immiscible current carrying solutions and we add DNA?
Step-defect guided delivery of DNA to a graphene nanopore
Manish Shankla and Aleksei Aksimentiev
Guiding DNA using templated nano-highways for down-stream analysis.
PoreDesigner for tuning solute selectivity in a robust and highly permeable outer membrane pore
Ratul Chowdhury, Tingwei Ren, Manish Shankla, Karl Decker, Matthew Grisewood, Jeevan Prabhakar, Carol Baker, John H Golbeck, Aleksei Aksimentiev, Manish Kumar, Costas D Maranas
Improving desalination using cleverly designed biological pores.
Modulation of Molecular Flux Using a Graphene Nanopore Capacitor.
Manish Shankla and Aleksei Aksimentiev
Current gating is a foundation of electrical circiutry. We engineered a nanopore capacitor to gate nano-fluidic current.
Slowing DNA Transport Using Graphene–DNA Interactions.
Shouvik Banerjee, James Wilson, Jiwook Shim, Manish Shankla, Elise A. Corbin, Aleksei Aksimentiev, and Rashid Bashir.
We design a stacked graphene-Alumina-graphnene architecture to slow the movement of DNA for sequencing readouts.
Conformational transitions and stop-and-go nanopore transport of single-stranded DNA on charged graphene.
Manish Shankla, and Aleksei Aksimentiev
Charged membranes electrically control DNA transport and lead to never-before seen DNA conformations which we can classify.
