Dependence of L events on pore size and DNA length. (a) Fraction of L events as a function of nanopore diameter for 3.5 kbp DNA at a bias voltage of 300 mV. A clear reduction of the percentage of L events is observed as the pore size increases. (b) Fraction of L events for different DNA lengths (0.5 kbp: 1214 events; 2.2 kbp: 321 events; 3.5 kbp: 2081 events; 6 kb: 2672 events) in nanopores ranging from 2.5 to 3 nm diameter. As the DNA length is increased, the relative amount of L events increases. Multilevel events are included as error bars (see Materials and Methods for a definition of the percentage of L events).
