A nanofluidic knot factory based on compression of single DNA in nanochannels

Polymer knots are important for a range of biological systems and engineering applications, yet the variables influencing knotting probability are not well understood. Here the authors develop a nanofluidic device that can detect knots and provide a free energy formalism that can quantify knotting p...
