Amino Acid Sorting Based on Bifurcated Nanochannels with Tunable Surface Charge (Adv. Theory Simul. 9/2024)

Abstract

The cover image depicts the transfer of biomolecules in double charge-modified nanochannels for efficient targeted sorting of different types of amino acids. This phenomenon is attributed to the generation of opposing electroosmotic fluxes within the different charge-modified nanochannels, which allows amino acids to be efficiently separated and sorted according to their specific charge properties. The central motif symbolizes the periodically switching external electric field. For further information, see article number 2301251 by Wei Si and co-workers.
