- Abstract
- We present a novel approach that integrates electrical measurements with molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to assess the activity of type-II restriction endonucleases, specifically EcoRV. Our approach employs a single-walled carbon nanotube field-effect transistor (swCNT-FET) functionalized with the EcoRV substrate DNA, enabling the detection of enzymatic cleavage events. Notably, we leveraged the methylene blue (MB) tag as an "orientation guide" to immobilize the EcoRV substrate DNA in a specific direction, thereby enhancing the proximity of the DNA cleavage reaction to the swCNT surface and consequently improving the sensitivity in EcoRV detection. We conducted computational modeling to compare the conformations and electrostatic potential (ESP) of MB-tagged DNA with its MB-free counterpart, providing strong support for our electrical measurements. Both conformational and ESP simulations exhibited robust agreement with our experimental data. The inhibitory efficacy of the EcoRV inhibitor aurintricarboxylic acid (ATA) was also evaluated, and the selectivity of the sensing device was examined.
