Nanopore back titration analysis of dipicolinic acid

Abstract: Here we report a novel label-free nanopore back titration method for the detection of dipicolinic acid, a marker molecule for bacterial spores. By competitive binding of the target analyte and a large ligand probe to metal ions, dipicolinic acid could be sensitively and selectively detected. This nanopore back titration approach should find useful applications in the detection of other species of medical, biological, or environmental importance if their direct detection is difficult to achieve.

“…Since analytes pass through the nanopore at one molecule at a time, simultaneous detection and quantification of multiple components in a solution mixture can be readily accomplished using a single nanopore as long as the nanopore itself can provide enough resolution . During the past decade, nanopore technology has shown great potential applications in numerous fields, such as medical diagnosis, homeland security and biodefense, , pharmaceutical screening, , and environmental protection. , …”

“…In this work, by mutating the methionine residue of the wild-type α-HL protein at position 113, a series of homoheptamer mutants were constructed and imparted with the capability to recognize cationic, anionic, aromatic, and hydrophobic molecules based on electrostatic, aromatic–aromatic, cation−π, and hydrophobic interactions (Figure ). Note that the β-barrel of the α-HL protein pore has three sensing regions/zones, including the primary (close to the narrowest constriction of the nanopore), secondary (near position 135), and trans-opening. , Position 113 is located in the primary sensing zone and is most widely utilized to design engineered nanopores for various applications. , …”

“…4−6 Thus, numbers of attempts have been made to explore efficient and fast detection methods. Recently, several techniques for DPA detection have been developed such as gas chromatography/ mass spectrometry, 7 surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), 8−10 electrochemical detection, 1,11 molecular imprinting, 12−14 fluorescence spectroscopy 15,16 and so on. 3,17,18 Traditional detection methods such as gas chromatography/ mass spectrometry usually require complicated and timeconsuming sample preparation processes and relatively expensive instruments.…”
