title: Solid-state nanopore for detecting individual biopolymers.
abstract: Solid-state nanopores have been fabricated and used to characterize single DNA and protein molecules. Here we describe the details on how these nanopores were fabricated and characterized, the nanopore sensing system setup, and protocols of using these nanopores to characterize DNA and protein molecules.
