Journal Article
Peptide sequencing based on host–guest interaction-assisted nanopore sensing
2024
Overview
Direct protein sequencing technologies with improved sensitivity and throughput are still needed. Here, we propose an alternative method for peptide sequencing based on enzymatic cleavage and host–guest interaction-assisted nanopore sensing. We serendipitously discovered that the identity of any proteinogenic amino acid in a particular position of a phenylalanine-containing peptide could be determined via current blockage during translocation of the peptide through α-hemolysin nanopores in the presence of cucurbit[7]uril. Building upon this, we further present a proof-of-concept demonstration of peptide sequencing by sequentially cleaving off amino acids from C terminus of a peptide with carboxypeptidases, and then determining their identities and sequence with a peptide probe in nanopore. With future optimization, our results point to a different way of nanopore-based protein sequencing.
A phenylalanine-containing peptide probe can be used for discriminating all 20 amino acids via current blockage during translocation through an α-hemolysin (αHL) nanopore. The paper provides proof-of-concept peptide sequencing demonstrations.
