We develop a single quantum dot (QD)-based nanosensor for the signal-on detection of DNA methyltransferase (MTase). By integration of single-molecule counting with the QD-based fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), the proposed nanosensor can sensitively detect DNA MTase with a detection limit of as low as 0.002 U mL, and it can be further applied for inhibitor screening and accurate detection of DNA MTase in complex biological samples.
我们开发了一种基于单量子点(QD)的纳米传感器,用于对DNA甲基转移酶(MTase)进行信号开启检测。通过将单分子计数与基于量子点的荧光共振能量转移(FRET)相结合,所提出的纳米传感器能够以低至0.002 U/mL的检测限灵敏地检测DNA MTase,并且它还可进一步应用于抑制剂筛选以及复杂生物样品中DNA MTase的准确检测。
