## Abstract Nanopore analysis is an emerging technique of structural biology which employs nanopores, such as the α‐hemolysin pore, as a biosensor. A voltage applied across a membrane containing a nanopore generates a current, which is partially blocked when a molecule interacts with the pore. The
Molecular mechanics calculations were employed to study the inclusion of 2-methyl naphthoate in alpha- and beta-cyclodextrin in vacuo and in the presence of water as a solvent. The driving forces for complexation are dominated by nonbonded van der Waals host:guest interactions in both environments.
