8. In this context, let us emphasize that although the ion-transport selectivity is imposed electrochemically in such devices, no current is flowing through the system or between the two solutions that are separated by the metallized membrane, with the exception of charging capacitive currents that pass during the very first instants in which the potential is applied to the nanopore metallic frame. Then, in contrast to biological ion channels, the flow of one type of ions from the compartment where its electrochemical potential is higher to the other compartment is exactly compensated by the opposite flow of an ion of the same charge.

12. This may look different from the experimental description of the cell given in ref. [3]. Yet, as is made clear in the "Modeling and Simulation" section, this corresponds exactly to what occurs in the immediate vicinity of the membrane in ref. [3].

25. However, due to the cylindrical geometry considered here, the OHP would be better designated as the outer Helmholtz cylinder, as it is concentric with the nanopore wall. However, to comply with general usage we keep the OHP notation.
