Size-tunable transmembrane nanopores assembled from decomposable molecular templates
Transmembrane nanopores, as key elements in molecular transport and single-molecule sensors, are assembled naturally from multiple monomers in the presence of lipid bilayers. The nanopore size, especially the precise diameter of the inner space, determines its sensing targets and further biological application. In this paper, we introduce a template molecule-aided assembly strategy for constructing size-tunable transmembrane nanopores. Inspired by the barrel-like structure, similar to many transmembrane proteins, cyclodextrin molecules of different sizes are utilized as templates and modulators to assemble the α-helical barreled peptide of polysaccharide transporters (Wza). The functional nanopores assembled by this strategy possess high biological and chemical activity and can be inserted into lipid bilayers, forming stable single channels for single-molecule sensing. After enzyme digestion, the cyclodextrins on protein nanopores can be degraded, and the remaining nontemplate transmembrane protein nanopores can also preserve the integrity of their structure and function. The template molecule-aided assembly strategy employed a simple and convenient method for fully artificially synthesizing transmembrane protein nanopores; the pore size is completely dependent on the size of the template molecule and controllable, ranging from 1.1 to 1.8 nm. Furthermore, by chemically synthesized peptides and modifications, the pore function is easily modulated and does not involve the cumbersome genetic mutations of other biological techniques.
