Abstract
A comprehensive detection of a wide variety of diagnostic markers is required for the realization of personalized medicine. As a sensor to realize such personalized medicine, a single molecule electrical measurement method using nanodevices is currently attracting interest for its comprehensive simultaneous detection of various target markers for use in biological and medical application. Single-molecule electrical measurement using nanodevices, such as nanopore, nanogap, or nanopipette devices, has the following features:; high sensitivity, low-cost, high-throughput detection, easy-portability, low-cost availability by mass production technologies, and the possibility of integration of various functions and multiple sensors. In this review, I focus on the medical applications of single- molecule electrical measurement using nanodevices. This review provides information on the current status and future prospects of nanodevice-based single-molecule electrical measurement technology, which is making a full-scale contribution to realizing personalized medicine in the future. Future prospects include some discussion on of the current issues on the expansion of the application requirements for single-mole-cule measurement.

Abstract
Nanogap biosensors have fascinated researchers due to their excellent electrical properties. Nanogap biosensors comprise three arrays of electrodes that form nanometer-size gaps. The sensing gaps have become the major building blocks of several sensing applications, including bio- and chemosensors. One of the advantages of nanogap biosensors is that they can be fabricated in nanoscale size for various downstream applications. Several studies have been conducted on nanogap biosensors, and nanogap biosensors exhibit potential material properties. The possibilities of combining these unique properties with a nanoscale-gapped device and electrical detection systems allow excellent and potential prospects in biomolecular detection. However, their fabrication is challenging as the gap is becoming smaller. It includes high-cost, low-yield, and surface phenomena to move a step closer to the routine fabrications. This review summarizes different feasible techniques in the fabrication of nanogap electrodes, such as preparation by self-assembly with both conventional and nonconventional approaches. This review also presents a comprehensive analysis of the fabrication, potential applications, history, and the current status of nanogap biosensors with a special focus on nanogap-mediated bio- and chemical sonsors.

Development of Single-Molecule Electrical Identification Method for Cyclic Adenosine Monophosphate Signaling Pathway. NANOMATERIALS 2021; 11:nano11030784. [PMID: 33808592 PMCID: PMC8003578 DOI: 10.3390/nano11030784] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2021] [Revised: 03/11/2021] [Accepted: 03/16/2021] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) is an important research target because it activates protein kinases, and its signaling pathway regulates the passage of ions and molecules inside a cell. To detect the chemical reactions related to the cAMP intracellular signaling pathway, cAMP, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), adenosine monophosphate (AMP), and adenosine diphosphate (ADP) should be selectively detected. This study utilized single-molecule quantum measurements of these adenosine family molecules to detect their individual electrical conductance using nanogap devices. As a result, cAMP was electrically detected at the single molecular level, and its signal was successfully discriminated from those of ATP, AMP, and ADP using the developed machine learning method. The discrimination accuracies of a single cAMP signal from AMP, ADP, and ATP were found to be 0.82, 0.70, and 0.72, respectively. These values indicated a 99.9% accuracy when detecting more than ten signals. Based on an analysis of the feature values used for the machine learning analysis, it is suggested that this discrimination was due to the structural difference between the ribose of the phosphate site of cAMP and those of ATP, ADP, and AMP. This method will be of assistance in detecting and understanding the intercellular signaling pathways for small molecular second messengers.
