Herein, for the first time, a novel truncation strategy for aptamers' sequences based on molecular docking was reported for the first time. T-2 toxin and AFB aptamers were employed as models and fluorescence polarization was used to measure the affinity of aptamers. The T-2 toxin aptamer (T40) with 40 bases and the AFB aptamer with 32 bases were successfully obtained with increased affinities compared with original aptamers. Meanwhile, circular dichroism, FAM-BHQ1 dual labeled T40, enzyme digestion, and molecular dynamics simulation were performed to investigate the binding mechanism between aptamer T40 and T-2 toxin. Finally, based on MnO nanosheet and the fluorescence amplification effect of SYBR Green I, simplified and rapid fluorescence detection of T-2 toxin was achieved with a detection range of 0.03 nM to 30 nM, indicating the great potential of aptamer in practical detection applications.
本文首次报道了一种基于分子对接的适体序列新型截断策略。以 T-2 毒素和 AFB 适体为模型,采用荧光偏振法测定适体的亲和力。与原始适体相比,成功获得了具有更高亲和力的 40 个碱基的 T-2 毒素适体(T40)和 32 个碱基的 AFB 适体。同时,进行了圆二色性、 FAM-BHQ1 双重标记 T40、酶消化和分子动力学模拟,以研究适体 T40 与 T-2 毒素之间的结合机制。最后,基于 MnO 纳米片和 SYBR Green I 的荧光放大效应,实现了 T-2 毒素的简化和快速荧光检测,检测范围为 0.03 nM 至 30 nM,表明适体在实际检测应用中具有巨大的潜力。
