Optical Detection of Stereoselective Interactions with DNA-Wrapped Single-Wall Carbon Nanotubes.

DNA-wrapped carbon nanotubes have been explored increasingly as sensitive near-infrared fluorescence probes for biomolecules. However, notably missing in previous studies is an inquiry on stereoselective interactions between DNA-wrapped carbon nanotubes and biomolecules. Here, enantiopure (+) and (-)(6,5), and (-)(8,3) as well as achiral (11,0) carbon nanotubes wrapped with specific resolving DNA sequences are used to demonstrate their stereoselective detection of amino acid enantiomers. Furthermore, stereoselective sensing abilities are found to be retained by dispersions containing a multitude of chiral nanotube structures. The fluorescence response profiles of six different DNA-wrapped carbon nanotube dispersions to nine standard amino acids, and their enantiomers, demonstrate that DNA-wrapped carbon nanotubes are exquisitely sensitive to the stereoconfiguration and side-chain functionality of amino acids in a manner that is dependent on both DNA sequence and nanotube chirality. Implications of our findings are discussed in the context of developing a machine learning-aided multiplexed biosensing scheme called a molecular perceptron.
