Description

Ultrasensitive nanopore structure, chip, analysis device, amino acid and protein detection method and application
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of single-molecule detection, in particular to an ultrasensitive nanopore structure, a chip, an analysis device, an amino acid and protein detection method and application.
Background
Protein is an extremely important living substance, and development of protein sequencing technology can not only provide key information for research of protein structure and function, but also bring about revolutionary progress for proteomics research and medical research. Edman degradation and mass spectrometry are currently the dominant methods of protein sequencing, and are deficient in terms of detection speed, read length, or achieving routine, complete proteomic quantification at low abundance.
The nanopore technology has extremely high resolution, and has important significance in the fields of gene sequencing, pathogen sequencing and the like. Currently, nanopore technology has been making attention to DNA sequencing, but the development in protein sequencing is lagging, mainly due to the very complex structure of proteins. The protein consists of 20 amino acids, the DNA consists of 4 bases, and the detection of 20 distinguishable signals is a difficult problem, and in addition, the characteristics of the protein such as multi-stage structure, nonuniform charge and the like also bring a plurality of challenges to the sequencing of the protein.
Detection of proteins and short peptide chains has been achieved using nanopore technology at present, but de novo sequencing of proteins still faces two crucial challenges: 1. time resolution, controlling the speed at which the peptide chain passes through the nanopore can increase the number of valid data points, and by adopting methods such as introducing enzyme to pull the peptide chain through the nanopore, sufficient time resolution can be provided for nanopore protein sequencing; 2. spatial resolution in recent years, several literature reports methods for increasing protein detection sensitivity in nanopores have achieved differentiation of amino acid substitutions, different sizes of homogeneous charged short isopeptides and post-translational modifications in carrier polymers, however, spatial resolution remains a major bottleneck for directly resolving individual amino acid residues, limiting the development of nanopore protein sequencing. It is extremely difficult to distinguish the signals generated by the small differences between the 20 natural amino acids.
The length of the sensing region of the nanopore, i.e. the number of amino acids read simultaneously by the nanopore as it passes linearly through the polypeptide chain, is crucial for the improvement of spatial resolution of the nanopore. The sensing region length of biological nanopores in widespread use today is several amino acids, for example, mspA biological nanopores are 8 amino acids in length (h.brinkerhoff et al, science,374 (6574), 1509-1513.), which limits their further improvement in spatial resolution. The invention provides an ultrasensitive nanopore structure, namely a nanopore structure with a sensing area length smaller than the shortest sensing area length (8 amino acids) which can be provided by a traditional biological nanopore. The ultrasensitive nanopore chip and the ultrasensitive nanopore analysis device are designed based on the ultrasensitive nanopore structure. The ultrasensitive nanopore structure provides a basis for the identification of single amino acid molecules and de novo sequencing of proteins, since the length of the sensing region is smaller than the shortest sensing region that can be provided by conventional biological nanopores. In addition, based on the methods reported in the prior literature that utilize biological enzymes to control the passage of peptide chains through nanopores to improve time resolution (h. Brinkerhoff et al, science,374 (6574), 1509-1513), the present invention also proposes strategies for the technical fusion of ultrasensitive nanopore structures with biological enzymes to achieve protein sequencing.
Currently, challenges for achieving nanopore protein sequencing are:
1. and (5) improving the spatial resolution. In view of the problem of overlarge sensing area length faced by the current biological nanopores, it is important to develop an ultrasensitive nanopore with sensing area length equivalent to the size of a single amino acid molecule.
2. And controlling the aperture of the nano hole. The electron beam perforation method mentioned in patent US10648965B2 allows to achieve nanopore diameters in the range of 3-20 nm, but this size is still large for single amino acid detection. Controlling the nanopore size in the sub-nanoscale to 2 nanometer range will bring new opportunities for amino acid detection and protein sequencing.
3. Control of the amino acid recognition signal-to-noise ratio. Because of the small structural differences of different amino acids, it is a necessary condition to ensure a high signal to noise ratio during single molecule experiments. Conventional artificial nanopores face the problem of excessive noise, and noise reduction is a great challenge to the development of artificial nanopores.

The fluid channel 9 is made of PMMA material, the structure of the fluid channel 9 is shown in fig. 3, and the fluid channel 9 mainly consists of two parts, wherein the only difference is that the part shown in the figure 16 contains internal threads, and the figure 15 is a smooth inner wall, and the design is convenient for assembling the fluid channel 9 by using screws.

The chip was sealed between the two-part fluid grooves 9 with O-rings, and the device was secured by 4 screws.
(6) Solution preparation
A Tris-EDTA-KCl buffer solution was prepared at pH=7.8, wherein the Tris concentration was 10mmol/L, the EDTA concentration was 1mmol/L, and the KCl concentration was 1mol/L. The amino acid solid powder is dissolved in a buffer solution to prepare a corresponding amino acid solution, and the concentration of a sample is 2 mu mol/L.
(7) Construction of experimental device
A patch clamp (Axiopatch 200B amplifier) low-noise system is adopted for testing, and an NI PXI-1042Q acquisition card is adopted for data acquisition. Two sections of silver wire, approximately 3cm long, were taken and polished with sandpaper to remove the oxide layer from the surface. Three-quarters of the silver wire length and platinum electrode 4 (as anode and cathode, respectively) were immersed in 1M KCl solution. A voltage of 2V was applied for a period of time to prepare an Ag/AgCl electrode 4. Then, two Ag/AgCl electrodes 4 are respectively connected to the probes of the patch clamp to serve as a positive electrode and a ground wire. The patch clamp needs to be calibrated by a model cell before use, so that errors are eliminated.
(8) Measurement of
Prior to each experiment, a current-voltage sweep was performed in KCl solution at a concentration of 1mol/L to determine the pore size of the device. In the formal experiment, corresponding buffer solutions are injected into the cis-side chamber 11 and the trans-side chamber 12 of the fluid tank 9, a bias voltage of 200mV is applied to the trans-side chamber 12, the positive and negative of the voltage depend on the relative magnitudes of isoelectric points of different amino acids and pH values of the buffer solutions, for example, the isoelectric point of the amino acid to be detected is smaller than 7.8, and when the amino acid is negatively charged in the buffer solution environment, the applied bias voltage is positive. In a blank experiment without the addition of amino acid molecules, an average value of I can be detected 0 Is passed through the nanopore 8. After injection of the amino acid-containing buffer solution into the cis-sided chamber 11, a short interruption of the ion current can be detected. Each current interruption corresponds to the perforation behaviour of a single amino acid molecule in the nanopore 8, characterized by a relative current drop ΔI/I 0 And a residence time deltat. The results of each set of experiments were normalized.
(9) Data analysis
And processing and analyzing the data by adopting a Matlab program, and integrating the data to present experimental results. The experimental data were further analyzed in conjunction with deep learning.
As shown in fig. 5a, the amino acid molecule passes through the molybdenum disulfide nanopore 8 under the driving of the electrophoretic force, when the molecule to be detected passes through the molybdenum disulfide nanopore 8, the pore channel is temporarily blocked, so that the current in the pore channel can be changed, and the amplitude and duration of the current change and the current waveform are analyzed, so that the corresponding molecular information can be obtained. In this example, a current signal generated by 20 natural amino acids in the via hole can be detected and distinguished for different amino acid molecules in a molybdenum disulfide nanopore 8 with a diameter in the range of 0.35-2nm, as shown in FIG. 5bA typical current signal and can be obtained by relatively blocking the current value DeltaI/I of the signal 0 Histogram distribution statistics were performed and fitted to distinguish amino acid species (fig. 5 f). The choice of the size of the molybdenum disulphide nanopores 8 is very important, as the size of the nanopores 8 is close to the size of the amino acid molecule to be measured, the ion current can be reduced to 0nA (fig. 5 c). When the size of the nanopore 8 is greater than 2nm, the detection sensitivity for amino acid molecules decreases.
In this example, to determine that the resulting signal was due to amino acid perforation, a set of perforation experiments at different voltages were performed. The result shows that as the voltage increases, the value of the blocking current delta I increases, and the relative blocking current delta I/I 0 The value of (c) is substantially unchanged (fig. 6b, c), and the frequency of perforation events occurs with increasing voltage, rapidly increasing and then saturating (fig. 6 a).
In this example, the detection sensitive area of the molybdenum disulfide nanopore 8 is equivalent to the size of a single amino acid, and in order to prove this, experiments were performed using short chains G, GG, GGG of different lengths composed of the same amino acid, and the blocking current values generated by the three in the same nanopore 8 are very close (fig. 5 d), which is quite different from the results generated in the biological nanopore 8 reported previously.
In a specific experimental process, since the baseline current of the molybdenum disulfide nanopore 8 has a certain instability, in order to ensure that experimental data is not affected by the change of the baseline current, 20 amino acids are discussed in groups according to the category to which the 20 amino acids belong, namely charged amino acids, polar uncharged amino acids, hydrophobic aromatic amino acids, hydrophobic non-aromatic amino acids and special amino acids.
A deep learning model is introduced in the analysis process of the data, and a neural network diagram is shown in fig. 5 e. The deep learning model learns the characteristic value and waveform of the current signal, and each group of experimental results are displayed in the form of a confusion matrix.
For charged amino acids, considering that the Tris-EDTA buffer employed in the experiment had pH=7.8, under this condition, the pI values for glutamic acid (E, 147.13 Da), aspartic acid (D, 133.11 Da) and histidine (H, 155.15 Da) were smallAt the pH of the solution, lysine (K, 146.19 Da) and arginine (R, 174.20 Da) are negatively charged in solution, and vice versa, and are positively charged in solution, so experiments were performed in two groups according to actual charge conditions. Delta I/I for lysine and arginine 0 The value and the relative mass of the molecules are positively correlated (as shown in fig. 7 a), and the discrimination accuracy after deep learning analysis reaches 82.18%. The relative current blocking values of glutamic acid and aspartic acid are similar (FIG. 7 b), ΔI/I of histidine molecules 0 The value distribution is obviously distinguished from glutamic acid and aspartic acid (as shown in figure 7 b), and the distinguishing accuracy of the glutamic acid, the aspartic acid and the histidine after deep learning of the obtained data reaches 82.08%.
Of the five amino acids contained in the hydrophobic non-aromatic, methionine (M, 149.21 Da) has a high probability of blocking the pore channels during the experiment, resulting in interruption of the experiment, probably due to the fact that it contains sulfur atoms, which are prone to interaction with molybdenum disulfide. It was also found in this set of experiments that the isomeric amino acids leucine (L) and isoleucine (I) with the same molecular mass produced different relative blocking currents (fig. 7 d). In 7 molybdenum disulfide nanopore 8 devices (pore size 0.6-1.4 nm), ΔI/I shown in 5 devices was observed 0 The value is higher than L but the result is opposite in the other 2 devices. The latter occurs in nanopores 8 of about 0.6nm diameter. Attributing this variation to the size of the nanopores 8 may affect the pore entry direction of the amino acids, and the resolution accuracy of these two isomeric amino acids reaches 87.25% by deep learning.
For polar uncharged amino acids, serine (S, 105.09 Da), threonine (T, 119.10 Da), asparagine (N, 132.12 Da) and glutamine (Q, 146.15 Da) produce ΔI/I in the pore canal 0 The value becomes larger as the molecular mass increases (see fig. 7e, f). The molecular structures of serine and threonine, asparagine and glutamine all differ by only one group, and the detection results of the group of amino acids show that the molybdenum disulfide nanopore 8 can recognize the difference of single chemical groups with the molecular weight of only 14.01 Da.
For hydrophobic aromatic amino acids, the relative current blocking values of phenylalanine (F, 165.20 Da), tyrosine (Y, 181.19 Da) and tryptophan (W, 204.20 Da) also show a positive correlation with the relative molecular masses (as in fig. 7 g), where it is notable that there is only one hydroxyl difference between phenylalanine and tyrosine, but the current distribution of both can be distinguished, which once demonstrates that the molybdenum disulfide nanopore 8 has a very high sensitivity to the detection of chemical groups.
For a particular class of amino acids, glycine (G, 75.07 Da), cysteine (C, 121.16 Da) and proline (P, 115.13 Da), where proline produces the greatest relative current blocking value in the experiment (as in fig. 7 h), because proline contains a five-membered ring in its molecular structure, maximizing its molecular volume in a particular group of amino acids. Cysteine also has a sulfur atom, which may block the nanopore 8 during the experiment. Through the above experiments, as a whole, the relative blocking current value generated by the amino acid molecule when passing through the molybdenum disulfide nanopore 8 increases with the increase in its volume.
In order to further demonstrate the high sensitivity of the molybdenum disulfide nanopores 8 to amino acids, separate experiments were performed on aspartic acid (D) and asparagine (N) with a relative molecular mass difference of only 1Da, and the results indicate that the two can be distinguished by amperometric analysis (as in fig. 8 a), which also demonstrates that the prepared molybdenum disulfide nanopores 8 achieve a resolution of 1Da, which is the highest resolution in the current nanopore 8 field.
In recent years, the final resolution of the nanopore 8 for detecting polypeptides has been continuously updated. FraC biological nanopore 8 can distinguish polypeptides differing by only one amino acid residue, with a resolution of 44Da (Huang, g.et., (2019). Nature communications,10 (1), 835). The aerolysin nanopore 8 shows a higher sensitivity for detecting peptide chains formed by linking a polycationic polymer to an amino acid (Ouldali, h.et., (2020). Nature biotechnology,38 (2), 176-181.). However, these measurements all distinguish individual amino acids in an indirect manner, and the difference in current is measured by substitution of amino acid residues. The invention is based on the experimental foundation that can distinguish single amino acid, further study the limit resolution of the present molybdenum disulfide nanopore 8 system. For aspartic acid and asparagine, or glutamic acid and glutamine, two by two The relative molecular mass difference of (2) is only 0.99Da, and the molecular skeleton is the same except the terminal chemical groups, wherein the molecular structure of the charged amino acid (aspartic acid, glutamic acid) is terminated by-OH (17.01 Da), and the molecular structure of the polar uncharged amino acid (asparagine, glutamine) is terminated by-NH 2 (16.02 Da). Although the molecular weight and volume of each pair of amino acids are very close, the difference in functional groups results in a difference in their molecular configuration and charge, resulting in a different current blocking across the molybdenum disulfide nanopore 8 (fig. 8a, b). Leucine and asparagine, which have a relative molecular mass difference of 0.94Da, also produce a distinguishable relative current blocking during perforation due to their large structural differences (fig. 8 c). This is known to be the highest resolution (distinguishing the poor relative molecular mass of less than 1 Da) of the experimentally reported nanopore 8.
Example 2: and detecting posttranslational modification of amino acid by adopting a molybdenum disulfide nanopore 8.
The invention can be applied to detect post-translational modifications (PTMs) of amino acids. Recognition of amino acid post-translational modifications is of great importance in disease research, for example, phosphorylation of tyrosine (Y) plays a key regulatory role in cellular activity, and abnormal phosphorylation of tyrosine is closely related to cancer.
In this example, tyrosine (Y) and phosphotyrosine (p-Y) are detected and identified by using molybdenum disulfide nanopore 8, and fig. 9a is a molecular structure diagram of tyrosine (Y) and phosphotyrosine (p-Y). The experimental procedures (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (8), (9) described in example 1 were repeated, wherein the sample solutions formulated in procedure (5) were a tyrosine solution and a phosphorylated tyrosine solution.
As shown in FIG. 9b, tyrosine and phosphorylated tyrosine cause ΔI/I in the experiment 0 The distribution of (c) can be distinguished, and the recognition accuracy is 80.67%. This result suggests that molybdenum disulfide nanopore 8 has the potential to recognize post-translationally modified amino acids.
Example 3: and detecting a short peptide chain by adopting the molybdenum disulfide nano hole 8.
The invention can be applied to detection of short peptide chains.
In this example, two peptide chains were designed, each of which was EEEGEEE and EEEWEEE, and the experimental procedures (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (8) and (9) described in example 1 were repeated, wherein the sample solution prepared in the procedure (6) was two peptide chain molecular solutions of EEEGEEE and EEEWEEE, and the voltage applied in the procedure (8) was 300mV.
Current waveforms as shown in the box in fig. 10 were observed in the experiment. The waveform shown at the bottom of fig. 10 is an ideal waveform of the actual measured current signal without any noise. The larger volume of W produces a larger current blocking, while the smaller volume of G produces a smaller current blocking, which results are consistent with expectations.
Based on the current research progress of the present invention, nanopore 8 resolution below 1Da and detection sensitive regions comparable to single amino acid molecule size have theoretically been able to provide sufficient spatial resolution for protein sequencing. It is proposed that the introduction of enzymes into the molybdenum disulfide nanopore 8 system to precisely control the rate of peptide chain passage through the pore channel is expected to provide sufficient time resolution to achieve de novo sequencing of proteins. Experiments for controlling the movement of polypeptides by introducing enzymes into biological nanopores 8 are now widely used, and many documents report the compatibility between DNA polymerase and solid nanopore 8 systems, so this strategy is viable.
Example 4: protein sequencing was performed using enzyme and molybdenum disulfide nanopores 8.
The invention can be applied to protein sequencing. The detection principle is shown in fig. 11.
The complex in this example in which the peptide chain was designed and synthesized to be linked to the nucleotide chain was HOOC-GEPGEPDDGDD-5 '-X-AGAACTTTAGAACTTTTCAGATCTCACTATCGCATTCTCATGCAGGTCGTAGCC-3', the primer chain was 5'-GCGTACGCCTACGGTTTTCCGTAGGCGTACGCGGCTACGACCTGCATGAGAATGC-3' and the blocking chain was 5 '-GATAGTGAGAGTGAATCTGAXXXXXXXXXZ-3'. X in the sequence represents an abasic spacer and Z represents a 3' spacer. These three materials were mixed at 1:1:2 and annealing for 20 minutes at room temperature to obtain the sample 10 to be measured. HEPES buffer solution was prepared at pH=7.5, where KCl was at a concentration of 1mol/L and HEPES was at a concentration of 10mmol/L ,MgCl 2 At a concentration of 10mmol/L, (NH) 4 ) 2 SO 4 The concentration of (C) was 10mmol/L and the concentration of DTT was 4mmol/L. The experimental operations (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (7) described in example 1 were repeated. A buffer solution containing phi29 DNA polymerase at a concentration of 5nmol/L, deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs) at a concentration of 1mmol/L and a sample 10 to be tested at a concentration of 10nmol/L was added to the cis-side chamber 11, and a blank buffer solution was added to the trans-side. And applying a voltage in the range of +200-300mV, and passing through the nanopore 8 under the action of an electric field after the sample is contacted with phi29 DNA polymerase and the nanopore 8. The current perforation map is recorded by a current amplifier 2, and the sequence of the target protein is obtained by analyzing the current perforation map.
It should be clear that the above description is not intended to limit the embodiments, but that various modifications can be made by a person skilled in the art on the basis of the above description, which modifications remain within the scope of the invention.
