The effect of thermophoresis on DNA transport through a plasmonic nanopore. (a) Setup of a CG MD simulation. Each simulation started with dsDNA partially threaded into the nanopore. (b) A series of snapshots illustrating a single DNA translocation event. (c) Average time to complete translocation with and without heating of the bow tie. The translocation velocity was increased by heating the gold bow tie to 78 K higher than the surrounding solution. The data was obtained by averaging over 19 independent runs for each simulation condition.
