We propose a reliable in-situ single-PNPase-molecule dynamic electrical detector based on silicon nanowire field-effect transistors with ultra-high temporal resolution. These devices can realize real-time and label-free monitoring of RNA analog degradation with single-base resolution, and achieve approximately 80% accuracy in RNA nucleoside sequencing in a single testing process. This proof-of-concept provides a foundation for the development of high-throughput detection technologies for mechanistic exploration and single-molecule sequencing in a Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS)-compatible environment.
The degradation process of RNA is decisive in guaranteeing high-fidelity translation of genetic information in living organisms. However, visualizing the single-base degradation process in real time and deciphering the degradation mechanism at the single-enzyme level remain formidable challenges. Here, we present a reliable in-situ single-PNPase-molecule dynamic electrical detector based on silicon nanowire field-effect transistors with ultra-high temporal resolution. These devices are capable of realizing real-time and label-free monitoring of RNA analog degradation with single-base resolution, including RNA analog binding, single-nucleotide hydrolysis, and single-base movement. We discover a binding event of the enzyme (near the active site) with the nucleoside, offering a further understanding of the RNA degradation mechanism. Relying on systematic analyses of independent reads, approximately 80% accuracy in RNA nucleoside sequencing is achieved in a single testing process. This proof-of-concept sets up a Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS)-compatible playground for the development of high-throughput detection technologies toward mechanistic exploration and single-molecule sequencing.
