Problems and solutions
1. DNA translocates too fast(1 base pair / 30 ns)
1. Build a DNA trap
2. Fluctuations in the DNAconformation dominateover the sequence-specific signals
2. Restrict possibleconformations of DNAthrough confinement
3. Fluctuations in the DNAenvironment dominateover the sequence-specific signal
3. Average out theenvironmental noise;use “lock-in” measuringprotocols

Lock-in set-up
Hypothesis: the resonance frequency of the circuitdepends on the DNA sequence

Electrostatic tweezersUse the electrostaticforce in a nanopore
to probe DNA /protein interactions
The force isdifficult to measuredirectly. MD canprovide extimates
of the force
