Abstract
We show that PEG-induced macromolecular crowding enhances protein detection in nanopores by increasing capture rate and translocation frequency. Experimental data indicate that a PEG concentration gradient boosts capture efficiency, while our theoretical model attributes this enhancement to osmotic flow, offering insights for improving nanopore-based biosensing.
