[PMID: 38878754 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2024.107557] [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: 05/02/2024] [Revised: 05/25/2024] [Accepted: 06/11/2024] [Indexed: 07/21/2024]
Abstract
The limitations of commonly used sodium ascorbate-based catalyst system for copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction include excess production of reactive oxygen species and rapid catalyst deactivation. In this study instead of using a highly active reducing agent, such as, sodium ascorbate, we chose reducing sugar as a mild reducing agent to build up the catalyst system for CuAAC reaction. Interestingly, the bicinchoninic acid (BCA) assay system containing reducing sugar satisfies the essential elements of the catalyst system for CuAAC reaction. We found that CuSO4/BCA/Reducing sugar system can catalyze the CuAAC reaction but with low yield. Rational analyses of various parameters in CuSO4/BCA/Glucose catalyst system suggested storage at room temperature might enhance the catalytic activity, which was proven to be the case. Importantly, the system remains stable at room temperature and minimal H2O2 was detected. Notably, our study showed that the coordination between the slow reduction of Cu(I) by reducing sugar and the selective chelation of Cu(I) by BCA is key to developing this system. The CuSO4/BCA/Reducing sugar catalyst system was successfully applied to various CuAAC reaction based bioanalyses, and it is suitable for the CuAAC reaction based bioanalyses that are sensitive to ROS or request long reaction time.

Abstract
With the rapid development of clinical diagnosis and treatment, many traditional and conventional in vitro diagnosis technologies are unable to meet the demands of clinical medicine development. In this situation, nanomaterials are rapidly developing and widely used in the field of in vitro diagnosis. Nanomaterials have distinct size-dependent physical or chemical properties, and their optical, magnetic, electrical, thermal, and biological properties can be modulated at the nanoscale by changing their size, shape, chemical composition, and surface functional groups, particularly because they have a larger specific surface area than macromaterials. They provide an amount of space to modify different molecules on their surface, allowing them to detect small substances, nucleic acids, proteins, and microorganisms. Combining nanomaterials with in vitro diagnosis is expected to result in lower detection limits, higher sensitivity, and stronger selectivity. In this review, we will discuss the classfication and properties of some common nanomaterials, as well as their applications in protein, nucleic acids, and other aspect detection and analysis for in vitro diagnosis, especially on aging-related nanodiagnostics. Finally, it is summarized with guidelines for in vitro diagnosis.

Abstract
The rapid progress in nanopore sensing has sparked interest in protein sequencing. Despite recent notable advancements in amino acid recognition using nanopores, chemical modifications usually employed in this process still need further refinements. One of the challenges is to enhance the chemical specificity to avoid downstream misidentification of amino acids. By employing adamantane to label proteinogenic amino acids, we developed an approach to fingerprint individual amino acids using the wild-type α-hemolysin nanopore. The unique structure of adamantane-labeled amino acids (ALAAs) improved the spatial resolution, resulting in distinctive current signals. Various nanopore parameters were explored using a machine-learning algorithm and achieved a validation accuracy of 81.3% for distinguishing nine selected amino acids. Our results not only advance the effort in single-molecule protein characterization using nanopores but also offer a potential platform for studying intrinsic and variant structures of individual molecules.

Abstract
There is a current need to develop methods for the sensitive detection of peptide biomarkers in complex mixtures of molecules, such as biofluids, to enable early disease detection. Moreover, to our knowledge, there is currently no detection method capable of identifying the different conformations of a peptide biomarker differing by a single amino acid. Single-molecule nanopore sensing promises to provide this level of resolution. In order to be able to identify these differences in a biofluid such as serum, it is necessary to carefully characterize electrical parameters to obtain specific signatures of each biomarker population observed. We are interested here in a family of peptide biomarkers, kinins such as bradykinin and des-Arg9 bradykinin, that are involved in many disabling pathologies (allergy, asthma, angioedema, sepsis, or cancer). We show the proof of concept for direct identification of these biomarkers in serum at the single-molecule level using a protein nanopore. Each peptide exhibits two unique electrical signatures attributed to specific conformations in bulk. The same signatures are found in serum, allowing their discrimination and identification in a complex mixture such as biofluid. To extend the utility of our experimental results, we developed a principal component analysis approach to define the most relevant electrical parameters for their identification. Finally, we used semisupervised classification to assign each event type to a specific biomarker at physiological serum concentration. In the future, single-molecule scale analysis of peptide biomarkers using a powerful nanopore coupled with machine learning will facilitate the identification and quantification of other clinically relevant biomarkers from biofluids.

Abstract
Single-molecule antigen detection using nanopores offers a promising alternative for accurate virus testing to contain their transmission. However, the selective and efficient identification of small viral proteins directly in human biofluids remains a challenge. Here, we report a nanopore sensing strategy based on a customized DNA molecular probe that combines an aptamer and an antibody to enhance the single-molecule detection of mpox virus (MPXV) A29 protein, a small protein with an M.W. of ca. 14 kDa. The formation of the aptamer-target-antibody sandwich structures enables efficient identification of targets when translocating through the nanopore. This technique can accurately detect A29 protein with a limit of detection of ∼11 fM and can distinguish the MPXV A29 from vaccinia virus A27 protein (a difference of only four amino acids) and Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) protein directly in biofluids. The simplicity, high selectivity, and sensitivity of this approach have the potential to contribute to the diagnosis of viruses in point-of-care settings.

Abstract
Nanopore sensing of proteomic biomarkers lacks accuracy due to the ultralow abundance of targets, a wide variety of interferents in clinical samples, and the mismatch between pore and analyte sizes. By converting antigens to DNA probes via click chemistry and quantifying their characteristic signals, we show a nanopore assay with several amplification mechanisms to achieve an attomolar level limit of detection that enables quantitation of the circulating Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) antigen ESAT-6/CFP-10 complex in human serum. The assay's nonsputum-based feature and low-volume sample requirements make it particularly well-suited for detecting pediatric tuberculosis (TB) disease, where establishing an accurate diagnosis is greatly complicated by the paucibacillary nature of respiratory secretions, nonspecific symptoms, and challenges with sample collection. In the clinical assessment, the assay was applied to analyze ESAT-6/CFP-10 levels in serum samples collected during baseline investigation for TB in 75 children, aged 0-12 years, enrolled in a diagnostic study conducted in Cape Town, South Africa. This nanopore assay showed superior sensitivity in children with confirmed TB (94.4%) compared to clinical "gold standard" diagnostic technologies (Xpert MTB/RIF 44.4% and Mtb culture 72.2%) and filled the diagnostic gap for children with unconfirmed TB, where these traditional technologies fell short. We envision that, in combination with automated sample processing and portable nanopore devices, this methodology will offer a powerful tool to support the diagnosis of pulmonary TB in children.

Abstract
Peptide detection methods with facility and high sensitivity are essential for diagnosing disease associated with peptide biomarkers. Nanopore sensing technology had emerged as a low cost, high-throughput, and scalable tool for peptide detection. The omptins family proteins which can form β-barrel pores have great potentials to be developed as nanopore biosensor. However, there are no study about the channel properties of E. coli OmpT and the development of OmpT as a nanopore biosensor. In this study, the OmpT biological nanopore channel was constructed with a conductance of 1.49 nS in 500 mM NaCl buffer and a three-step gating phenomenon under negative voltage higher than 100 mV and then was developed as a peptide biosensor which can detect peptide without the interfere of ssDNA and dNTPs. The OmpT constructed in this study has potential application in peptide detection, and also provides a new idea for the detection of peptides using the specific binding ability of protease.

Abstract
Pesticides have caused concerns about food safety due to their residual effects in vegetables and fruits. Imidacloprid, as the frequently used neonicotinoid pesticide, could harm cardiovascular and respiratory function and cause reproductive toxicity in humans. Therefore, reliable methods for portable, selective, and rapid detection are desirable to develop. Herein, we report a neuron-inspired nanofluidic biosensor based on a tyrosine-modified artificial nanochannel for sensitively detecting imidacloprid. The functional tyrosine is modified on the outer surface of porous anodic aluminum oxide to rapidly capture imidacloprid through π-π interactions and hydrogen bonds. The integrated nanofluidic biosensor has a wide concentration range from 10-8 to 10-4 g/mL with an ultralow detection limit of 6.28 × 10-9 g/mL, which outperforms the state-of-the-art sensors. This work provides a new perspective on detecting imidacloprid residues as well as other hazardous pesticide residues in environmental and food samples.

Abstract
Biotechnological innovations have vastly improved the capacity to perform large-scale protein studies, while the methods we have for identifying and quantifying individual proteins are still inadequate to perform protein sequencing at the single-molecule level. Nanopore-inspired systems devoted to understanding how single molecules behave have been extensively developed for applications in genome sequencing. These nanopore systems are emerging as prominent tools for protein identification, detection, and analysis, suggesting realistic prospects for novel protein sequencing. This review summarizes recent advances in biological nanopore sensors toward protein sequencing, from the identification of individual amino acids to the controlled translocation of peptides and proteins, with attention focused on device and algorithm development and the delineation of molecular mechanisms with the aid of simulations. Specifically, the review aims to offer recommendations for the advancement of nanopore-based protein sequencing from an engineering perspective, highlighting the need for collaborative efforts across multiple disciplines. These efforts should include chemical conjugation, protein engineering, molecular simulation, machine-learning-assisted identification, and electronic device fabrication to enable practical implementation in real-world scenarios.
