Biosensors DNA Microarrays (for chemical analysis) Protein Sensors (for identifying viruses)

DNA Microarrays detectors in parallel, each detecting a specific DNA sequence. “Combinatorial Chemistry”

Operation of a DNA Microarray

Petrovykh et al., JACS 128, 2 (2006) Orientation of DNA from X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy Single - stranded DNA of the microarray needs to be acces- sible to the complementary target DNA. The polarization dependence of the  * peaks tells whether DNA stands up or lies flat (Lect. 10,Slides 14,15).

One interface layer aligns 100  m of liquid crystal, i.e molecular layers : Amplification by Sensor for proteins / viruses: Attach antibodies to a surface which is made bio-compatible. When a protein in a virus locks onto its specific antibody, the orientation of the liquid crystal is lost. This change is detected by a change of the transmission between crossed polarizers, like in a liquid crystal display. Gupta et al., Science 179, 2077 (1998) Liquid Crystals as Amplifiers / Biosensors

Cytochrome C reduces oxidized donor in the RC. Reaction sites of the RC need to face outward.

Common Detection Methods

Biological Machines Biomotors Ion Channels

Molecular Motors Linear: Contract a muscle, carry cargo Rotary: Drive flagella for propelling bacteria Operate as generator producing ATP

A Muscle

A Muscle Fiber Myosin molecules (bottom) walk along the surrounding actin filaments and thereby contract the muscle.

Molecular Motor Vale and Milligan, Science 288, 88 (2000) Driven by ATP  ADP + energy Rail = Actin, Tubulin Walker = Myosin, Kinesin

Two Walking Molecules

Motor Parts They are powered by ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the fuel of biochemistry. It releases energy by con- verting into ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and releasing a phosphate group which phosphorylates proteins. Myosin and other walking molecules. Schliwa and Woehlke, Nature 422, 759 (2003)

The walking kinesin molecule is attached to a bead, which is held by optical tweezers* (pink laser beam). The position of kinesin stepping along a microtubule is detected by constant force feedback, where the laser focus follows the bead. Steps of 8 nm can be seen. * Optical tweezers use the attraction of an electric dipole to the high electric field produced at the focus of a laser. Here the electric dipole is the bead, which becomes polarized in the electric field of the laser. Visscher, Schnitzer, and Block, Nature 400, 6740 (1999) Watching a Molecular Motor in Action

Rotary Motors Schematic of a rotary motor driving a flagellum (filament).

A depiction of F 0 F 1 -ATP Synthase. The free energy of high proton concentration inside the cell is used to generate ATP from ADP. The outflow of protons drives a rotary motion which is used to make conformational changes in the protein and convert ADP into ATP. An efficiency of 80% is achieved. Schematic of a Rotary Motor

Ion Channels 2003 Nobel Prize in Chemistry Top view of an ion channel (ion in purple)

Side View of an Ion Channel Closed Open Cell Membrane

Detailed Side View of an Ion Channel The ion is guided by oxygen atoms (red) attached to the protein backbone.

Selectivity of the Potassium Ion Channel The potassium channel allows only one sodium to pass for every potassium ions, even though sodium is smaller than potassium. The pore is lined with oxygen atoms (red). They mimic the shell of 8 water molecules that surround a potas- sium ion (bottom). The pore is so wide that a sodium ion cannot bind to the oxygen atoms in the pore wall. Conse- quently, the sodium ion stays outside to keep its water shell.
