This paper presents a novel class of nanopore sensors for highly specific protein detection at single-molecule precision. The sensors utilize a programmable antibody-mimetic binder fused to a monomeric protein nanopore, enabling detection of proteins with varying size, charge, and structural complexity. The approach overcomes steric hindrance challenges and allows for label-free, real-time detection with high sensitivity and specificity. The developed sensors show potential for application in biomedical diagnostics for biomarker detection in biofluids.
