Simultaneous observation of the spatial and temporal dynamics of single enzymatic catalysis using a solid-state nanopore

Abstract

We developed a bipolar SiNx nanopore for the observation of single-molecule heterogeneous enzymatic dynamics. Single glucose oxidase was immobilized inside the nanopore and its electrocatalytic behaviour was real-time monitored via continuous recording of ionic flux amplification. The temporal heterogeneity in enzymatic properties and its spatial dynamic orientations were observed simultaneously, and these two properties were found to be closely correlated. We anticipate that this method offers new perspectives on the correlation of protein structure and function at the single-molecule level.
