Real-time visualization of DNA nanopore–lipid membrane interactions.

Caption

Researchers study how DNA nanopores (DNPs) interact with low-curvature supported lipid bilayers over time. Using QCM-D, the study tracks diffusion, aggregation, and incorporation of DNPs, highlighting the role of cholesterol anchors and substrate composition in membrane insertion—advancing applications in artificial cells and molecular sensing.
