英文摘要:
We report a novel simulation strategy that enables us to identify key parameters controlling the experimentally measurable characteristics of structural protein tags on dsDNA construct translocating through a double nanopore setup. First, we validate the scheme in silico by reproducing and explaining the physical origin of the experimental dwell time distributions of the Streptavidin markers on a 48 kbp long dsDNA. These studies reveal the important differences in the characteristics of the protein tags compared to the dynamics of dsDNA segments, immediately providing clues on how to improve the measurement protocols to decipher the unknown genomic lengths accurately. Of particular importance is the in silico studies on the effect of electric field inside and beyond the pores which we find is critical to discriminate protein tags based on their effective charges and masses revealed through a generic power-law dependence of the average dwell time at each pore. The simulation protocols enable to monitor piecewise dynamics of the individual monomers at a sub-nanometer length scale and provide an explanation of the disparate velocity variation from one tag to the other using the nonequilibrium tension propagation theory, - a key element to decipher genomic lengths accurately. We further justify the model and the chosen simulation parameters by calculating the Peclet number which is in close agreement with the experiment. Analysis of our simulation results from the CG model has the capability to refine the accuracy of the experimentally obtained genomic lengths and carefully chosen simulation strategies can serve as a powerful tool to discriminate different types of neutral and charged tags of different origins on a dsDNA construct in terms of their physical characteristics and can provide insights to increase both the efficiency and accuracy of an experimental dual-nanopore setup.
