Abstract

Recent experimental evidence confirms synthetic pores as operational multicomponent sensors in complex matrices. This work in practice is summarized, with emphasis on topics of current concern which exemplify the use of enzymes as signal generators in differential sensing applications, and the importance of carefully conceived additives such as reactive signal amplifiers or filters.
