Abstract: Natural and synthetic nanopores are increasingly popular tools in biosensors. In this work, the DNA supersandwich structure, which was made from two specially designed probes has been used to be fabricated in solid nanopores. Integrating the idea of affinity between streptavidin and biotin, the DNA supersandwich structure with biotins was successfully constructed for streptavidin detection, and the limitation of detection was found to be 10 fmol/L. This nanodevice allows specific, sensitive and versatile detection of diverse analytes with easy operations, thus we believe that it could be developed to detect some disease-related molecular targets and play a considerable role in biotechnology.

Key words: DNA supersandwich structure, Streptavidin, Detection, Solid-nanopore
