Measurement of small molecule binding kinetics on a protein microarray by plasmonic-based electrochemical impedance imaging.

ABSTRACT: We report on a quantitative study of small molecule binding kinetics on protein microarrays with plasmonic-based electrochemical impedance microscopy (P-EIM). P-EIM measures electrical impedance optically with high spatial resolution by converting a surface charge change to a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) image intensity change, and the signal is not scaled to the mass of the analyte. Using P-EIM, we measured binding kinetics and affinity between small molecule drugs (imatinib and SB202190) and their target proteins (kinases Abl1 and p38-α). The measured affinity values are consistent with reported values measured by an indirect competitive binding assay. We also found that SB202190 has weak bindings to ABL1 with KD > 10 μM, which is not reported in the literature. Furthermore, we found that P-EIM is less prone to nonspecific binding, a long-standing issue in SPR. Our results show that P-EIM is a novel method for high-throughput measurement of small molecule binding kinetics and affinity, which is critical to the understanding of small molecules in biological systems and discovery of small molecule drugs.

Plasmonic-based electrochemical impedance spectroscopy: application to molecular binding.

Project description:Plasmonic-based electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (P-EIS) is developed to investigate molecular binding on surfaces. Its basic principle relies on the sensitive dependence of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) signal on surface charge density, which is modulated by applying an ac potential to a SPR chip surface. The ac component of the SPR response gives the electrochemical impedance, and the dc component provides the conventional SPR detection. The plasmonic-based impedance measured over a range of frequency is in quantitative agreement with the conventional electrochemical impedance. Compared to the conventional SPR detection, P-EIS is sensitive to molecular binding taking place on the chip surface and less sensitive to bulk refractive index changes or nonspecific binding. Moreover, this new approach allows for simultaneous SPR and surface impedance analysis of molecular binding processes.

Plasmonic-Based Electrochemical Impedance Imaging of Electrical Activities in Single Cells.

Project description:Studying electrical activities in cells, such as action potential and its propagation in neurons, requires a sensitive and non-invasive analytical tool that can image local electrical signals with high spatial and temporal resolutions. Here we report a plasmonic-based electrochemical impedance imaging technique to study transient electrical activities in single cells. The technique is based on the conversion of the electrical signal into a plasmonic signal, which is imaged optically without labels. We demonstrate imaging of the fast initiation and propagation of action potential within single neurons, and validate the imaging technique with the traditional patch clamp technique. We anticipate that the plasmonic imaging technique will contribute to the study of electrical activities in various cellular processes.

Highly Multiplexed Label-Free Imaging Sensor for Accurate Quantification of Small-Molecule Binding Kinetics.

Project description:Investigating the binding interaction of small molecules to large ligands is a compelling task for the field of drug development, as well as agro-biotechnology, since a common trait of drugs and toxins is often a low molecular weight (MW). Here, we improve the limit of detection of the Interferometric Reflectance Imaging Sensor (IRIS), a label-free, highly multiplexed biosensor, to perform small-molecule screening. In this work, characterization of small molecules binding to immobilized probes in a microarray format is demonstrated, with a limit of detection of 1 pg/mm2 in mass density. First, as a proof of concept to show the impact of spatial and temporal averaging on the system noise, detection of biotin (MW = 244.3 Da) binding to a streptavidin-functionalized chip is performed and the parameters are tuned to achieve maximum signal-to-noise ratio (SNR ≈ 34). The optimized system is then applied to the screening of a 20-multiplexed antibody chip against fumonisin B1 (MW = 721.8 Da), a mycotoxin found in cereal grains. The simultaneously recorded binding curves yield an SNR ≈ 8. Five out of twenty antibodies are also screened against the toxin in a lateral flow assay, obtaining consistent results. With the demonstrated noise characteristics, further sensitivity improvements are expected with the advancement of camera sensor technology.

Single cells and intracellular processes studied by a plasmonic-based electrochemical impedance microscopy.

Project description:Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy is a crucial tool for the detection and study of various biological substances, from DNA and proteins to viruses and bacteria. It does not require any labelling species, and methods based on it have been developed to study cellular processes (such as cell spreading, adhesion, invasion, toxicology and mobility). However, data have so far lacked spatial information, which is essential for investigating heterogeneous processes and imaging high-throughput microarrays. Here, we report an electrochemical impedance microscope based on surface plasmon resonance that resolves local impedance with submicrometre spatial resolution. We have used an electrochemical impedance microscope to monitor the dynamics of cellular processes (apoptosis and electroporation of individual cells) with millisecond time resolution. The high spatial and temporal resolution makes it possible to study individual cells, but also resolve subcellular structures and processes without labels, and with excellent detection sensitivity (~2 pS). We also describe a model that simulates cellular and electrochemical impedance microscope images based on local dielectric constant and conductivity.

Measurement of Neuropeptide Y Using Aptamer-Modified Microelectrodes by Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy.

Project description:Aptamer-modified microelectrodes for Neuropeptide Y measurement by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was described here. The advantages of using carbon fiber or platinum microelectrodes are because they are promising materials with high electrical conductivity, chemical stability, and high surface area that can be easily modified on their surface. The immobilization and biofouling were studied and compared using EIS. Moreover, the adsorption of NPY to the aptamer-modified microelectrodes was also demonstrated by EIS. Changes of -ω*Zimag, an impedance factor that gives information of the capacitance, is directly correlated with concentrations. A widely linear range was obtained from 10 to 1000 ng/mL of NPY. This method was able to detect NPY without performing a redox reaction by adsorption at the surface of the microelectrodes, with the specificity provided by aptamer functionalization of the microelectrode surface.

Plasmonic Imaging of Electrochemical Reactions at Individual Prussian Blue Nanoparticles.

Project description:Prussian blue is an iron-cyanide-based pigment steadily becoming a widely used electrochemical sensor in detecting hydrogen peroxide at low concentration levels. Prussian blue nanoparticles (PBNPs) have been extensively studied using traditional ensemble methods, which only provide averaged information. Investigating PBNPs at a single entity level is paramount for correlating the electrochemical activities to particle structures and will shed light on the major factors governing the catalyst activity of these nanoparticles. Here we report on using plasmonic electrochemical microscopy (PEM) to study the electrochemistry of PBNPs at the individual nanoparticle level. First, two types of PBNPs were synthesized; type I synthesized with double precursors method and type II synthesized with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) assisted single precursor method. Second, both PBNPs types were compared on their electrochemical reduction to form Prussian white, and the effect from the different particle structures was investigated. Type I PBNPs provided better PEM sensitivity and were used to study the catalytic reduction of hydrogen peroxide. Progressively decreasing plasmonic signals with respect to increasing hydrogen peroxide concentration were observed, demonstrating the capability of sensing hydrogen peroxide at a single nanoparticle level utilizing this optical imaging technique.

Single-molecule imaging of an in vitro-evolved RNA aptamer reveals homogeneous ligand binding kinetics.

Project description:Many studies of RNA folding and catalysis have revealed conformational heterogeneity, metastable folding intermediates, and long-lived states with distinct catalytic activities. We have developed a single-molecule imaging approach for investigating the functional heterogeneity of in vitro-evolved RNA aptamers. Monitoring the association of fluorescently labeled ligands with individual RNA aptamer molecules has allowed us to record binding events over the course of multiple days, thus providing sufficient statistics to quantitatively define the kinetic properties at the single-molecule level. The ligand binding kinetics of the highly optimized RNA aptamer studied here displays a remarkable degree of uniformity and lack of memory. Such homogeneous behavior is quite different from the heterogeneity seen in previous single-molecule studies of naturally derived RNA and protein enzymes. The single-molecule methods we describe may be of use in analyzing the distribution of functional molecules in heterogeneous evolving populations or even in unselected samples of random sequences.

Study of Small-Molecule-Membrane Protein Binding Kinetics with Nanodisc and Charge-Sensitive Optical Detection.

Project description:Nanodisc technology provides membrane proteins with a nativelike lipid bilayer and much-needed solubility and enables in vitro quantification of membrane protein binding with ligands. However, it has been a challenge to measure interaction between small-molecule ligands and nanodisc-encapsulated membrane proteins, because the responses of traditional mass-based detection methods scale with the mass of the ligands. We have developed a charge-sensitive optical detection (CSOD) method for label-free measurement of the binding kinetics of low molecular mass ligands with nanodisc-encapsulated membrane proteins. This microplate-compatible method is sensitive to the charge instead of the mass of a ligand and is able to measure both large and small molecules in a potentially high-throughput format. Using CSOD, we measured the binding kinetics between peptide and small-molecule ligands and a nanodisc-encapsulated potassium ion channel protein, KcsA-Kv1.3. Both association and dissociation rate constants for these ligands are obtained for the first time. The CSOD results were validated by the consistency of the values with reported binding affinities. In addition, we found that CSOD can tolerate up to 3.9% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and up to 10% serum, which shows its compatibility with realistic sample conditions.

3D single-molecule tracking enables direct hybridization kinetics measurement in solution.

Project description:Single-molecule measurements of DNA hybridization kinetics are mostly performed on a surface or inside a trap. Here we demonstrate a time-resolved, 3D single-molecule tracking (3D-SMT) method that allows us to follow a freely diffusing ssDNA molecule in solution for hundreds of milliseconds or even seconds and observe multiple annealing and melting events taking place on the same molecule. This is achieved by combining confocal-feedback 3D-SMT with time-domain fluorescence lifetime measurement, where fluorescence lifetime serves as the indicator of hybridization. With sub-diffraction-limit spatial resolution in molecular tracking and 15 ms temporal resolution in monitoring the change of reporter's lifetime, we have demonstrated a full characterization of annealing rate (kon = 5.13 × 106 M-1 s-1), melting rate (koff = 9.55 s-1), and association constant (Ka = 0.54 μM-1) of an 8 bp duplex model system diffusing at 4.8 μm2 s-1. As our method completely eliminates the photobleaching artifacts and diffusion interference, our kon and koff results well represent the real kinetics in solution. Our binding kinetics measurement can be carried out in a low signal-to-noise ratio condition (SNR ≈ 1.4) where ∼130 recorded photons are sufficient for a lifetime estimation. Using a population-level analysis, we can characterize hybridization kinetics over a wide range (0.5-125 s-1), even beyond the reciprocals of the lifetime monitoring temporal resolution and the average track duration.

Single-molecule imaging of the transcription factor SRF reveals prolonged chromatin-binding kinetics upon cell stimulation.

Project description:Serum response factor (SRF) mediates immediate early gene (IEG) and cytoskeletal gene expression programs in almost any cell type. So far, SRF transcriptional dynamics have not been investigated at single-molecule resolution. We provide a study of single Halo-tagged SRF molecules in fibroblasts and primary neurons. In both cell types, individual binding events of SRF molecules segregated into three chromatin residence time regimes, short, intermediate, and long binding, indicating a cell type-independent SRF property. The chromatin residence time of the long bound fraction was up to 1 min in quiescent cells and significantly increased upon stimulation. Stimulation also enhanced the long bound SRF fraction at specific timepoints (20 and 60 min) in both cell types. These peaks correlated with activation of the SRF cofactors MRTF-A and MRTF-B (myocardin-related transcription factors). Interference with signaling pathways and cofactors demonstrated modulation of SRF chromatin occupancy by actin signaling, MAP kinases, and MRTFs.
