Anal Chim Acta 2024; 1318:342960. [PMID: 39067929 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2024.342960] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2024] [Revised: 06/09/2024] [Accepted: 07/08/2024] [Indexed: 07/30/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Enantiodiscrimination of chiral drugs is critical for understanding physiological phenomena and ensuring medical safety. Although enantiomers of these drugs share identical physicochemical properties, they exhibit significant differences in pharmacodynamic, pharmacokinetic, and toxicological properties due to the differences in their three-dimensional shapes. Therefore, the development of effective methods for chiral recognition is of great significance and has been a hot topic in chemo/biological studies. RESULTS In this study, we designed a recognition receptor comprising a α-hemolysin (α-HL) nanopore and sulfobutyl ether-β-cyclodextrin (SBEβCD) for identifying the enantiomers of the antidepressant duloxetine at the single-molecule level. Chiral molecules were discriminated based on the different current blockages within the recognition receptor. The results indicated a strong interaction between R-duloxetine and the recognition receptor. By combining the experimental data and molecular docking results, we explored the recognition mechanism of the designed nanopore recognition receptor for chiral drug molecules. It was found that hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions play key roles in chiral recognition. Additionally, by comparing the binding kinetics of enantiomers to cyclodextrins in confined nanospace and bulk solution, we found that enantiomeric identification was better facilitated in the confined nanospace. Finally, the enantiomeric excess (ee) of the enantiomeric duloxetine mixture was measured using this recognized receptor. SIGNIFICANCE This strategy has the advantages of low cost, high sensitivity, and no need for additional derivative modifications, providing a new perspective on the development of chiral recognition sensors with excellent enantioselectivity in drug design, pharmaceuticals, and biological applications.

Abstract
Solid-state nanopores, inspired by biological nanopores, have the advantages of good mechanical properties, stability, and easy modification. They have attracted wide attention in the fields of sequencing, sensing, molecular sieving, nanofluidic devices, nanoelectrochemistry, and energy conversion. Because of the ion/molecule transport characteristic of the pore, the research on solid-state nanopores mainly focuses on the functional modification of its inner wall. In recent years, the outer surface of nanopores has also attracted the attention of researchers, and the functional elements on the outer surface have the functions of anti-interference and ionic signal enhancement. In this perspective, we review research progress of inner wall and outer surface distinguished solid-state nanopores, highlight their processing and advantages, summarize their functions and applications in sensing, and give insight into further research.

Abstract
Solid-state nanopores as a versatile alternative to biological nanopores have grown tremendously over the last two decades. They exhibit unique characteristics including mechanical robustness, thermal and chemical stability, easy modifications and so on. Moreover, the pore size of a solid-state nanopore could be accurately controlled from sub-nanometers to hundreds of nanometers based on the experimental requirements, presenting better adaptability than biological nanopores. Two-dimensional (2D) materials with single layer thicknesses and highly ordered structures have great potential as solid-state nanopores. In this perspective, we introduced three kinds of substrate-supported 2D material solid-state nanopores, including graphene, MoS2 and MOF nanosheets, which exhibited big advantages compared to traditional solid-state nanopores and other biological counterparts. Besides, we suggested the fabrication and modulation of 2D material solid-state nanopores. We also discussed the applications of 2D materials as solid-state nanopores for ion transportation, DNA sequencing and biomolecule detection.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can improve the stability and activity of enzymes under the MOF encapsulation. However, it remains a challenge to explore the effects of the MOF environment on enzymatic activity in a confined space. In this work, we immobilized the enzyme inside a glass nanopore to study the catalytic activity and stability of the enzyme in the MOF environment. Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) is encapsulated in zeolitic imidazolate framework-90 (ZIF-90) and zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8), which are used as the catalytic platforms. The HRP can catalyze 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)diammonium salt (ABTS) molecules to generate ABTS+ ions, and the change of the transmembrane ion current will be monitored in real time. As the concentration of H2O2 increases, the amount of produced ABTS+ will increase; thus, the ionic current increases. The effects of the MOF structure on enzyme activity and stability are also investigated. The HRP encapsulated in the MOF and modified inside the nanopore provides a novel and unlabeled design for studying enzymatic catalysis in a confined environment, which should have extensive applications in chemical-/bio-sensing, electrocatalysis, and fundamental electrochemistry.

Abstract
In recent decades, the ionic current rectification (ICR) property of asymmetric nanochannels has been widely explored in applications of energy conversion, gas separation, water purification and bioanalysis/sensors. How to fabricate nanofluidic devices with a high ICR characteristic remains of critical importance to the development of nanofluidics. Herein, we fabricated an asymmetric MOFs/PAA hybrid via in situ synthesis of a zeolitic imidazole framework (ZIF-90) on porous anodic alumina (PAA) nanochannels. The introduction of asymmetric geometry and charge distribution provides the hybrid with ultrahigh ionic rectification, which can be easily measured using an electrochemical detector. This rectification mechanism is elucidated via finite element simulation, which proves that asymmetric geometry as well as the protonation and deprotonation under varied pH values dominates the ICR property. With the advantages of low cost and facile fabrication while supporting high ionic current rectification, the prepared MOFs/PAA hybrid can be considered as a significant paradigm in nanofluidic systems and has potential applications in the fields of new ionic devices and energy conversion systems.

Abstract
Inspired by biological nanochannels, a novel cyclic 3',5'-adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-regulated artificial nanochannel based on a tripeptide Arg-Thr-Ala (RTA) design is developed. Highly specific binding between the tripeptide and cAMP triggers an obvious conformational transition of a smart polymer chain from a contracted state to a swollen one, which leads to a dynamic modulation of the gating behaviours of the nanochannels.
