Above has lots of nice protocol information.

Ionic Speed/Current

“If we recall that an Ampere corresponds to a charge flow of 1 Coulomb each second and further, use the fact that the charge on a monovalent ion is approximately 1.6 x 10-19 Coulombs (that is 1 electron or 1 proton charge), then we see that a current of about one pA corresponds to roughly 107 ions passing through the channel each second. This value is in agreement with measurements” http://book.bionumbers.org/how-many-ions-pass-through-an-ion-channel-per-second/

Double stranded Lambda DNA (16um long, 48kb). Translocates in 3 different confirmations. Grabbed at the end. Grabbed in the middle (completely folded), Grabbed near an edge (partly folded). Difference in current levels is ~1nS between each confirmation (200pA). 22nm pore is used. Translocation time ~3ms.
