1. A nanopore sequencing apparatus comprising a chamber housing an aqueous solution having disposed therein a membrane comprising a modified secretin nanopore disposed in the membrane, the modified secretin nanopore comprising a lumenal surface defining a lumen that extends through the membrane between a cis-opening and a trans-opening, wherein the lumenal surface comprises one or more amino acid modifications relative to a wild-type secretin nanopore.
