Fig. 2. Chaotrope-facilitated electro-osmotic translocation of the Trx-linker octamers through a nanopore.

Fig. 2

a, Translocation of Trx-linker octamers through a weakly anion-selective WT αHL was not observed in the absence of a chaotrope. bd, Current traces showing the translocation of Trx-linker octamers through the electro-osmotically active nanopore (NN-113R)7 in the presence of 750 mM KCl (b), 750 mM KCl and 2 M urea (c) or 750 mM GdnHCl (d) with 2 kHz post-acquisition filtering. The use of non-denaturing concentrations of chaotropic agents (urea and GdnHCl) accelerated the co-translocational unfolding of the Trx units. Conditions: 10 mM HEPES at pH 7.2, 0.81 μM Trx-linker octamer (cis), +140 mV (trans), 24 ± 1 °C with 750 mM KCl (a and b); 2 M urea and 750 mM KCl (c); 750 mM GdnHCl (d).
