Sketch of a polynucleotide of N bases, with a hairpin structure translocating through a nanopore from cis to trans driven by an applied voltage V acting on the effective charge Qeff per monomer (not to scale). The position of the molecule is labeled by the number of monomers, m, on the trans side, whereas N – m – h bases remain on the cis side and h bases are confined in the pore.
