将PDKEEPAAA捕获到ClyA纳米孔中:扩散限制与反应限制过程

DNA capture into the ClyA nanopore: diffusion-limited versus reaction-limited processes

Stefanos K. Nomidis, Jef Hooyberghs, Giovanni Maglia, Enrico Carlon

摘要:

生物分子通过纳米孔的捕获和移位是具有潜在的大量应用的过程,因此近年来它们被深入研究。本文的目的是回顾现有的模型的捕获过程中的纳米孔,连同一些最近的实验数据短的单链和双链DNA捕获溶细胞素A(ClyA)纳米孔。ClyA是一种细菌来源的跨膜蛋白,最近通过位点特异性突变进行了工程改造,以允许双链和单链DNA的易位。理论估计和实验之间的比较表明,对于这两种情况下的捕获是一个反应限制的过程。这是证实了所观察到的盐的捕获率的依赖性,我们发现与理论预测的定量协议。

英文摘要:

The capture and translocation of biomolecules through nanometer-scale pores are processes with a potential large number of applications, and hence they have been intensively studied in the recent years. The aim of this paper is to review existing models of the capture process by a nanopore, together with some recent experimental data of short single- and double-stranded DNA captured by Cytolysin A (ClyA) nanopore. ClyA is a transmembrane protein of bacterial origin which has been recently engineered through site-specific mutations, to allow the translocation of double- and single-stranded DNA. A comparison between theoretical estimations and experiments suggests that for both cases the capture is a reaction-limited process. This is corroborated by the observed salt dependence of the capture rate, which we find to be in quantitative agreement with the theoretical predictions.
