Abstract
A novel strategy for cytochrome c selective recognition assisted with cucurbit[6]uril by host-guest interaction via N-terminal epitope imprinting and reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization was developed. N-terminal nonapeptide of cytochrome c (GI-9) was used as the epitope template to achieve highly selective recognition of cytochrome c. As a common supramolecule in recent years, cucurbit[6]uril can encapsulate the butyrammonium group of lysine residue to capture the peptide and improve the corresponding spatial orientation by the host-guest interaction for GI-9 or cytochrome c recognition. After cucurbit[6]uril modification and epitope immobilization, the imprinted polymer was synthesized by RAFT polymerization with 2-dodecylsulfanylcarbothioylsulfanyl-2-methylpropanoic acid as chain transfer agent. After template removal, the obtained imprinted particles showed good binding ability to GI-9 (20.28 mg g-1, IF = 4.11) and cytochrome c (36.12 mg g-1, IF = 3.91). With the successive addition of cucurbit[6]uril and RAFT agent, the step-by-step improvement of the IF for cytochrome c recognition further illustrated the effects of supramolecular host-guest interaction and regulation of imprinted polymer chain. The imprinted polymers showed obvious advantages for cytochrome c recognition compared to competitive proteins and had good reusability with the repeated reproduction rate 80.8 % after five cycles of adsorption and desorption. Furthermore, the selective recognition for cytochrome c in adult bovine serum proved its potentiality to be applied in practical samples. All these results demonstrated that the combination of epitope imprinting, cucurbit[6]uril host-guest interaction and RAFT strategy presented an efficient new feasible control method for protein recognition with good selectivity, stability and reusability.
期刊介绍：
Talanta provides a forum for the publication of original research papers, short communications, and critical reviews in all branches of pure and applied analytical chemistry. Papers are evaluated based on established guidelines, including the fundamental nature of the study, scientific novelty, substantial improvement or advantage over existing technology or methods, and demonstrated analytical applicability. Original research papers on fundamental studies, and on novel sensor and instrumentation developments, are encouraged. Novel or improved applications in areas such as clinical and biological chemistry, environmental analysis, geochemistry, materials science and engineering, and analytical platforms for omics development are welcome.
Analytical performance of methods should be determined, including interference and matrix effects, and methods should be validated by comparison with a standard method, or analysis of a certified reference material. Simple spiking recoveries may not be sufficient. The developed method should especially comprise information on selectivity, sensitivity, detection limits, accuracy, and reliability. However, applying official validation or robustness studies to a routine method or technique does not necessarily constitute novelty. Proper statistical treatment of the data should be provided. Relevant literature should be cited, including related publications by the authors, and authors should discuss how their proposed methodology compares with previously reported methods.
