520 |a DNA sequencing and sensing using nanopore technology delves critically into the alterations in the measurable electrical signal as single-stranded DNA is drawn through a tiny passage. To make such precise measurements, however, slowing down the DNA in the tightly confined passage is a key requirement, which may be achieved by grafting the nanopore walls with a polyelectrolyte layer (PEL). This soft functional layer at the wall, under an off-design condition, however, may block the DNA passage completely, leading to the complete loss of output signal from the nanobio sensor. Whereas theoretical postulates have previously been put forward to explain the essential physics of DNA translocation in nanopores, these have turned out to be somewhat inadequate when confronted with the experimental findings on functionalized nanopores, including the prediction of the events of complete signal losses. Circumventing these constraints, herein we bring out a possible decisive role of the interplay between the inevitable variabilities in the ionic distribution along the nanopore axis due to its finite length as opposed to its idealized "infinite" limit as well as the differential permittivity of PEL and bulk solution that cannot be captured by the commonly used one-dimensional variant of the electrical double layer theory. Our analysis, for the first time, captures variations in the ionic concentration distribution across multidimensional physical space and delineates its impact on the DNA translocation characteristics that have hitherto remained unaddressed. Our results reveal possible complete blockages of DNA translocation as influenced by less-than-threshold permittivity values or greater-than-threshold grafting densities of the PEL. In addition, electrohydrodynamic blocking is witnessed due to the ion-selective nature of the nanopore at low ionic concentrations. Hence, our study establishes a functionally active regime over which the PEL layer in a finite-length nanopore facilitates controllable DNA translocation, enabling successful sequencing and sensing through the explicit modulation of translocation speed
