The detection of biological molecules and their interactions is a significant component of modern biomedical research. In current biosensor technologies, simultaneous detection is limited to a small number of analytes by the spectral overlap of their signals. We have developed an NMR-based xenon biosensor that capitalizes on the enhanced signal-to-noise, spectral simplicity, and chemical-shift sensitivity of laser-polarized xenon to detect specific biomolecules at the level of tens of nanomoles. We present results using xenon "functionalized" by a biotin-modified supramolecular cage to detect biotin-avidin binding. This biosensor methodology can be extended to a multiplexing assay for multiple analytes.
生物分子及其相互作用的检测是现代生物医学研究的重要组成部分。在当前的生物传感器技术中,由于信号的光谱重叠,同时检测仅限于少数几种分析物。我们开发了一种基于核磁共振的氙生物传感器,该传感器利用激光极化氙增强的信噪比、光谱简单性和化学位移敏感性,在数十纳摩尔水平上检测特定生物分子。我们展示了使用生物素修饰的超分子笼“功能化”的氙来检测生物素-抗生物素蛋白结合的结果。这种生物传感器方法可以扩展到用于多种分析物的多重检测。
