    Abstract: A system for detecting a biomolecule comprises a nano-gap electrode device including a first electrode and a second electrode adjacent to the first electrode. The first electrode can be separated from the second electrode by a nano-gap that is dimensioned to permit the biomolecule to flow through the nano-gap. The nano-gap can have at least a first gap region and a second gap region. The second gap region can be oriented at an angle that is greater than zero degrees with respect to a plane having the first gap region. The system can further include an electrical circuit coupled to the nano-gap electrode device. The electrical circuit can receive electrical signals from the first electrode and the second electrode upon the flow of the biomolecule through the nano-gap.

    Abstract: Devices, systems and methods for sequencing protein samples are provided. In some examples, currents generated when a monomer passes through between electrodes of a nanogap electrode pair are measured for each of several different distances, so that monomers are identified when compared to a reference physical quantity of a known monomer, which may be obtained from a current measured with a similar inter-electrode distance(s) at which each of plural kinds of monomers are identifiable and ordered with predetermined accuracy and based on a detected physical quantity obtained from a tunneling current, which may be further normalized by the use of one or more reference substances.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides biopolymer detection devices and systems, and methods for forming such devices and systems. A device for detecting a biopolymer comprises a channel that is configured to direct the biopolymer and a pair of electrodes in a portion of the channel. The pair of electrodes has surfaces that are substantially coplanar with adjacent surfaces of the channel. Surfaces of the pair of electrodes are exposed during use of the device to enable detection the biopolymer or a portion thereof with the aid of the pair of electrodes.
