Streamlined Synthesis and Assembly of a Hybrid Sensing Architecture with Solid Binding Proteins and Click Chemistry.


ABSTRACT: Combining bioorthogonal chemistry with the use of proteins engineered with adhesive and morphogenetic solid-binding peptides is a promising route for synthesizing hybrid materials with the economy and efficiency of living systems. Using optical sensing of chloramphenicol as a proof of concept, we show here that a GFP variant engineered with zinc sulfide and silica-binding peptides on opposite sides of its β-barrel supports the fabrication of protein-capped ZnS:Mn nanocrystals that exhibit the combined emission signatures of organic and inorganic fluorophores. Conjugation of a chloramphenicol-specific DNA aptamer to the protein shell through strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition and spontaneous concentration of the resulting nanostructures onto SiO2 particles mediated by the silica-binding sequence enables visual detection of environmentally and clinically relevant concentrations of chloramphenicol through analyte-mediated inner filtering of sub-330 nm excitation light.
