Abstract
Experimental methods of single-molecule enzymology allow scientists to determine physicochemical properties of distinct single molecules of various enzymes and to perform direct monitoring of functioning of enzymes at different steps of their catalytic cycle. The approach based on the use of solid-state nanopores is a promising tool for studying the functioning of single-enzyme molecules. Herein, this approach is employed for monitoring the functioning of cytochrome P450 BM3, which represents a very convenient model of cytochrome P450-containing monooxygenase systems. A nanopore of ~5 nm in diameter has been formed in a 40 nm-thick silicon nitride chip by electron beam drilling (EBD), and a single molecule of the BM3 enzyme has been entrapped in the pore. The functioning of the enzyme molecule has been monitored by recording the time dependence of the ion current through the nanopore during the reaction of laurate hydroxylation. In our experiments, the enzyme molecule has been found to be active for 1500 s. The results of our research can be further used in the development of highly sensitive detectors for single-molecule studies in enzymology.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Molecular Sciences (ISSN 1422-0067) provides an advanced forum for chemistry, molecular physics (chemical physics and physical chemistry) and molecular biology. It publishes research articles, reviews, communications and short notes. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their theoretical and experimental results in as much detail as possible. Therefore, there is no restriction on the length of the papers or the number of electronics supplementary files. For articles with computational results, the full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. Electronic files regarding the full details of the calculation and experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material (including animated pictures, videos, interactive Excel sheets, software executables and others).
