Area of Science:

  • Biophysics
  • Nanotechnology
  • Analytical Chemistry

Background:

  • Solid-state nanopores are promising for label-free protein detection but their large thickness limits atomic-scale analysis.
  • Distinguishing subtle variations between protein subclasses, like IgG antibodies, remains a challenge for current technologies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the capability of single-atom thick graphene nanopores for label-free sensing and discrimination of IgG antibody subclasses.
  • To explore the potential of nanoporous graphene in high-resolution protein detection and classification.

Main Methods:

  • Extensive molecular dynamics (MD) simulations with a total aggregate time of 2.7 μs.
  • Rigorous statistical analysis, supervised machine learning (ML), and classification techniques.
  • Analysis of water flux and ionic current during protein translocation through graphene nanopores.

Main Results:

  • Graphene nanopores effectively distinguished between IgG2 and IgG3 subclasses based on subtle atomic structure variations.
  • Distinct clusters in water flux and ionic current during IgG translocation provided an additional recognition mechanism.
  • Ionic current histograms offered high-resolution spatial detection of protein segments.

Conclusions:

  • Single-atom thick graphene nanopores demonstrate high capability for label-free sensing and discrimination of antibody subclasses.
  • Nanoporous graphene offers a promising platform for accurate and high-resolution protein detection and classification.
  • This technology advances label-free protein analysis, with potential applications in diagnostics and research.
