24. The most probable translocation time is the time associated with the peak in the distribution. The error that is quoted is dominated by temperature variations in the setup. A variation of about 3 degrees leads to an estimated error of 10% (cf. ref 11).
25. At a KC1 concentration of 300 mM, the traces occasionally show events that were composed of a first part of current blockades and a second part of enhancements. Because the current enhancements dominated the behavior and no current blockades events were recorded, only the current enhancements were analyzed.

36. The one data point at 100 mM, which has a lower value of the relative change in conductance, was measured with a 20-nm-diameter pore, whereas the red line was calculated for a pore diameter of 10 nm.
