DNA-facilitated target search by nucleoproteins: Extension of a biosensor-surface plasmon resonance method.

ABSTRACT: To extend the value of biosensor-SPR in the characterization of DNA recognition by nucleoproteins, we report a comparative analysis of DNA-facilitated target search by two ETS-family transcription factors: Elk1 and ETV6. ETS domains represent an attractive system for developing biosensor-based techniques due to a broad range of physicochemical properties encoded within a highly conserved DNA-binding motif. Building on a biosensor approach in which the protein is quantitatively sequestered and presented to immobilized cognate DNA as nonspecific complexes, we assessed the impact of intrinsic cognate and nonspecific affinities on long-range (intersegmental) target search. The equilibrium constants of DNA-facilitated binding were sensitive to the intrinsic binding properties of the proteins such that their relative specificity for cognate DNA were reinforced when binding occurred by transfer vs. without nonspecific DNA. Direct measurement of association and dissociation kinetics revealed ionic features of the activated complex that evidenced DNA-facilitated dissociation, even though Elk1 and ETV6 harbor only a single DNA-binding surface. At salt concentrations that masked the effects of nonspecific pre-binding at equilibrium, the dissociation kinetics of cognate binding were nevertheless distinct from conditions under which nonspecific DNA was absent. These results further strengthen the significance of long-range DNA-facilitated translocation in the physiologic environment.

Ultrasensitive Surface Plasmon Resonance Biosensor Using Blue Phosphorus-Graphene Architecture.

Project description:This study theoretically proposed a novel surface plasmon resonance biosensor by incorporating emerging two dimensional material blue phosphorus and graphene layers with plasmonic gold film. The excellent performances employed for biosensing can be realized by accurately tuning the thickness of gold film and the number of blue phosphorus interlayer. Our proposed plasmonic biosensor architecture designed by phase modulation is much superior to angular modulation, providing 4 orders of magnitude sensitivity enhancement. In addition, the optimized stacked configuration is 42 nm Au film/2-layer blue phosphorus /4-layer graphene, which can produce the sharpest differential phase of 176.7661 degrees and darkest minimum reflectivity as low as 5.3787 × 10-6. For a tiny variation in local refractive index of 0.0012 RIU (RIU, refractive index unit) due to the binding interactions of aromatic biomolecules, our proposed biosensor can provide an ultrahigh detection sensitivity up to 1.4731 × 105 °/RIU, highly promising for performing ultrasensitive biosensing application.

Surface Plasmon Resonance Biosensor Based on Smart Phone Platforms.

Project description:We demonstrate a fiber optic surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor based on smart phone platforms. The light-weight optical components and sensing element are connected by optical fibers on a phone case. This SPR adaptor can be conveniently installed or removed from smart phones. The measurement, control and reference channels are illuminated by the light entering the lead-in fibers from the phone's LED flash, while the light from the end faces of the lead-out fibers is detected by the phone's camera. The SPR-sensing element is fabricated by a light-guiding silica capillary that is stripped off its cladding and coated with 50-nm gold film. Utilizing a smart application to extract the light intensity information from the camera images, the light intensities of each channel are recorded every 0.5 s with refractive index (RI) changes. The performance of the smart phone-based SPR platform for accurate and repeatable measurements was evaluated by detecting different concentrations of antibody binding to a functionalized sensing element, and the experiment results were validated through contrast experiments with a commercial SPR instrument. This cost-effective and portable SPR biosensor based on smart phones has many applications, such as medicine, health and environmental monitoring.

Surface plasmon resonance extension through two-block metal-conducting polymer nanorods.

Project description:Research on surface plasmon resonance coupling of metallic nanostructures is an important area in the field of plasmonics because distinctive collective optical properties can be realized that are different from the individual constituents. Here we report the localized surface plasmon resonance of hybrid metal-organic nanorods. Colloidal-dispersed Au-PPy nanorods were synthesized as a representative material using a modified electrochemical method, and the collective oscillation properties were systematically investigated by comparing these materials with pure Au nanorods. We observed the extended surface plasmon resonance of a hybrid system. The presence of doped-PPy segments on Au segments induced an enhanced coherent electric field due to the partial contribution of π-electrons on the PPy segment, which led to a red-shifted plasmon feature. Additionally, we demonstrated that surface plasmon resonance extension can be tuned by dopant anions, which demonstrates a way of tuning a dopant-induced plasmonic system.

Localized surface plasmon resonance-based abscisic acid biosensor using aptamer-functionalized gold nanoparticles.

Project description:Abscisic acid (ABA) plays an important role in abiotic stress response and physiological signal transduction resisting to the adverse environment. Therefore, it is very essential for the quantitative detection of abscisic acid (ABA) due to its indispensable role in plant physiological activities. Herein, a new detection method based on localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) using aptamer-functionalized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) is developed without using expensive instrument and antibody. In the presence of ABA, ABA specifically bind with their aptamers to form the ABA-aptamer complexes with G-quadruplex-like structure and lose the ability to stabilize AuNPs against NaCl-induced aggregation. Meanwhile, the changes of the LSPR spectra of AuNP solution occur and therefore the detection of ABA achieved. Under optimized conditions, this method showed a good linear range covering from 5×10-7 M to 5×10-5 M with a detection limit of 0.33 ?M. In practice, the usage of this novel method has been demonstrated by its application to detect ABA from fresh leaves of rice with the relative error of 6.59%-7.93% compared with ELISA bioassay. The experimental results confirmed that this LSPR-based biosensor is simple, selective and sensitive for the detection of ABA. The proposed LSPR method could offer a new analytical platform for the detection of other plant hormones by changing the corresponding aptamer.

Detection of the sickle hemoglobin allele using a surface plasmon resonance based biosensor.

Project description:Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is a monogenic hereditary blood disorder caused by a single point mutation (βS) in the β globin gene resulting in an abnormal hemoglobin (HbS) that can polymerize within the erythrocytes, inducing their characteristic sickle shape. This causes hemolytic anemia and occlusive vessels for the most severe clinical status. Molecular analysis is crucial for fast and precise diagnosis of different forms of SCD, and, on the basis of underlying genotype, for supporting the most appropriate treatment options. In this context, we describe a simple and reproducible protocol for the molecular identification of the βS mutation based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) using the Biacore™ X100 affinity biosensor. This technology has already demonstrated its diagnostic suitability for the identification of point mutations responsible for genetic diseases such as cystic fibrosis and β thalassemia, using a protocol based on immobilization of PCR products on the sensor chip. On the contrary, in this work we applied a SPR strategy based on an innovative interaction format, recently developed in our group also for β thalassemia mutations. In particular, we correctly detected the βS mutation responsible for SCD, both in homozygous and heterozygous states, after hybridization of two oligonucleotide probes (normal and mutated) for the βS mutation, immobilized on sensor chip, with unbalanced PCR products obtained from 53 genomic DNAs carrying different βS allele combinations.

A novel strategy for analyzing RNA-protein interactions by surface plasmon resonance biosensor.

Project description:Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor is a promising technology for its various advantages including the real-time measurement of biomolecular interactions without labeling. A method of hybridizing RNAs on the surface of the streptavidin-coated (SA) sensor chip to study RNA-protein interactions was described in this paper. In our study, it has been shown that the nucleocapsid (N) protein of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) has a high binding affinity for the leader sequence of SARS-CoV genome. Effect of temperature on the RNA-DNA hybridization was also examined. This method can provide the affinity of interactions with high sensitivity. Therefore, it will be useful in screening binding candidates for a given RNA target motif with one chip.

A Phase-Intensity Surface Plasmon Resonance Biosensor for Avian Influenza A (H5N1) Detection.

Project description:In this paper, we present a phase-intensity surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor and demonstrate its use for avian influenza A (H5N1) antibody biomarker detection. The sensor probes the intensity variation produced by the steep phase response at surface plasmon excitation. The prism sensor head is fixed between a pair of polarizers with a perpendicular orientation angle and a forbidden transmission path. At SPR, a steep phase change is introduced between the p- and s-polarized light, and this rotates the polarization ellipse of the transmission beam. This allows the light at resonance to be transmitted and a corresponding intensity change to be detected. Neither time-consuming interference fringe analysis nor a phase extraction process is required. In refractive index sensing experiments, the sensor resolution was determined to be 6.3 × 10-6 refractive index values (RIU). The sensor has been further applied for H5N1 antibody biomarker detection, and the sensor resolution was determined to be 193.3 ng mL-1, compared to 1 μg mL-1 and 0.5 μg mL-1, as reported in literature for influenza antibody detection using commercial Biacore systems. It represents a 517.3% and 258.7% improvement in detection limit, respectively. With the unique features of label-free, real-time, and sensitive detection, the phase-intensity SPR biosensor has promising potential applications in influenza detection.

An ultra-sensitive biosensor based on surface plasmon resonance and weak value amplification.

Project description:An ultra-sensitive phase plasmonic sensor combined with weak value amplification is proposed for the detection of IgG, as a model analyte. Phase detection is accomplished by self-interference between the p-polarization and the s-polarization of the light. With the principles of weak value amplification, a phase compensator is used to modulate the coupling strength and enhance the refractive index sensitivity of the system. On a simple Au-coated prism-coupled surface plasmon resonance (SPR) structure, the scheme, called WMSPR, achieves a refractive index sensitivity of 4.737 × 104 nm/RIU, which is about three times higher than that of the conventional phase-based approach. The proposed WMSPR biosensor gives great characteristics with a high resolution of 6.333 × 10-8 RIU and a low limit of detection (LOD) of 5.3 ng/mL. The results yield a great scope to promote the optimization of other SPR biosensors for high sensitivity.

Sensitivity Enhancement of Transition Metal Dichalcogenides/Silicon Nanostructure-based Surface Plasmon Resonance Biosensor.

Project description:In this work, we designed a sensitivity-enhanced surface plasmon resonance biosensor structure based on silicon nanosheet and two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides. This configuration contains six components: SF10 triangular prism, gold thin film, silicon nanosheet, two-dimensional MoS2/MoSe2/WS2/WSe2 (defined as MX2) layers, biomolecular analyte layer and sensing medium. The minimum reflectivity, sensitivity as well as the Full Width at Half Maximum of SPR curve are systematically examined by using Fresnel equations and the transfer matrix method in the visible and near infrared wavelength range (600 nm to 1024 nm). The variation of the minimum reflectivity and the change in resonance angle as the function of the number of MX2 layers are presented respectively. The results show that silicon nanosheet and MX2 layers can be served as effective light absorption medium. Under resonance conditions, the electrons in these additional dielectric layers can be transferred to the surface of gold thin film. All silicon-MX2 enhanced sensing models show much better performance than that of the conventional sensing scheme where pure Au thin film is used, the highest sensitivity can be achieved by employing 600 nm excitation light wavelength with 35 nm gold thin film and 7 nm thickness silicon nanosheet coated with monolayer WS2.

A miRNA biosensor based on localized surface plasmon resonance enhanced by surface-bound hybridization chain reaction.

Project description:The dysregulation of the concentration of individual circulating microRNAs or small sets of them has been recognized as a marker of disease. For example, an increase of the concentration of circulating miR-17 has been linked to lung cancer and metastatic breast cancer, while its decrease has been found in multiple sclerosis and gastric cancer. Consequently, techniques for the fast, specific and simple quantitation of microRNAs are becoming crucial enablers of early diagnosis and therapeutic follow-up. DNA based biosensors can serve this purpose, overcoming some of the drawbacks of conventional lab-based techniques. Herein, we report a cost-effective, simple and robust biosensor based on localized surface plasmon resonance and hybridization chain reaction. Immobilized gold nanoparticles are used for the detection of miR-17. Specificity of the detection was achieved by the use of hairpin surface-tethered probes and the hybridization chain reaction was used to amplify the detection signal and thus extend the dynamic range of the quantitation. Less than 1 h is needed for the entire procedure that achieved a limit of detection of about 1 pM or 50 amol/measurement, well within the reported useful range for diagnostic applications. We suggest that this technology could be a promising substitute of traditional lab-based techniques for the detection and quantification of miRNAs after these are extracted from diagnostic specimens and their analysis is thus made possible.
