摘要: Label-free identification of amino acids (AAs) based on superspecific transfer RNAs (tRNAs) and amino-acyl tRNA synthetase (AARS) is explored. Molecules a specific AA, its cognate AARS, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) from reservoir are confined to micro-sized cavity by hydraulic pressure counter the effects diffusion. In this space in gets charged with AA monophosphate (AMP) released. The products transferred an electrolytic cell nanopore where AMP, ATP cause current blockades different sizes. If AMP-sized blockade occurs it means that molecule has been identifies AA; otherwise procedure repeated AARS until identified. Unlike most other nanopore-based methods, there no need for precise measurement levels. efficacy assessed simulating movement particles reservoir-cavity structure analyzing occur nanopore. former probability reactants escaping found be near 0. latter error identifying AMP less than 10% worst case (which largest volume namely Tryptophan).
