    Abstract Protein sequencing is crucial for understanding the complex mechanisms driving biological functions. However, proteins are usually folded in their native state and the mechanism of fast protein conformation transitions still remains unclear, which make protein sequencing challenging. Molecular dynamics simulations with accurate force field are now able to observe the entire folding/unfolding process, providing valuable insights into protein folding mechanisms. Given that proteins can be unfolded, nanopore technology shows great potential for protein sequencing. In this study, we proposed to use MoS

    Abstract In the past few decades, nanometer-scale pores have been employed as powerful tools for sensing biological molecules. Owing to its unique structure and properties, solid-state nanopores provide interesting opportunities for the development of DNA sequencing technology. Controlling DNA translocation in nanopores is an important means of improving the accuracy of sequencing. Here we present a proof of principle study of accelerating DNA captured across targeted graphene nanopores using surface charge density and find the intrinsic mechanism of the combination of electroosmotic flow induced by charges of nanopore and electrostatic attraction/repulsion between the nanopore and ssDNA. The theoretical study performed here provides a new means for controlling DNA transport dynamics and makes better and cheaper application of graphene in molecular sequencing.

    Abstract Protein sequencing is crucial for understanding the complex mechanisms driving biological functions and is of utmost importance in molecular diagnostics and medication development. Nanopores have become an effective tool for single molecule sensing, however, the weak charge and non-uniform charge distribution of protein make capturing and sensing very challenging, which poses a significant obstacle to the development of nanopore-based protein sequencing. In this study, to facilitate capturing of the unfolded protein, highly charged peptide was employed in our simulations, we found that the velocity of unfolded peptide translocating through a hybrid nanopore composed of silicon nitride membrane and carbon nanotube is much slower compared to bare silicon nitride nanopore, it is due to the significant interaction between amino acids and the surface of carbon nanotube. Moreover, by introducing variations in the charge states at the boundaries of carbon nanotube nanopores, the competition and combination of the electrophoretic and electroosmotic flows through the nanopores could be controlled, we then successfully regulated the translocation velocity of unfolded proteins through the hybrid nanopores. The proposed hybrid nanopore effectively retards the translocation velocity of protein through it, facilitates the acquisition of ample information for accurate amino acid identification.

    Abstract The correct characterization and identification of different kinds of proteins is crucial for the survival and development of living organisms, and proteomics research promotes the analysis and understanding of future genome functions. Nanopore technique has been proved to accurately identify individual nucleotides. However, accurate and rapid protein sequencing is difficult due to the variability of protein structures that contains more than 20 amino acids, and it remains very challenging especially for uncharged peptides as they can not be electrophoretically driven through the nanopore. Graphene nanopores have the advantages of high accuracy, sensitivity and low cost in identifying protein phosphorylation modifications. Here, by using all-atom molecular dynamics simulations, charged graphene nanopores are employed to electroosmotically capture and sense uncharged peptides. By further mimicking AFM manipulation of single molecules, it is also found that the uncharged peptides and their phosphorylated states could also be differentiated by both the ionic current and pulling force signals during their pulling processes through the nanopore with a slow and constant velocity. The results shows ability of using nanopores to detect and discriminate single amino acid and its phosphorylation, which is essential for the future low-cost and high-throughput sequencing of protein residues and their post-translational modifications.

    Abstract Purpose: Post-neurosurgical intracranial infection caused by carbapenem-resistant gram-negative bacteria (CRGNB) is a life-threatening complication. This study aimed to assess the current practices and clinical outcomes of intravenous (IV) combined with intraventricular (IVT)/intrathecal (ITH) polymyxin B in treating CRGNB intracranial infection.
    Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on patients with post-neurosurgical intracranial infection due to CRGNB from January 2013 to December 2020. Clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes were collected and described. Kaplan-Meier survival and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed.
    Results: The study included 114 patients, of which 72 received systemic antimicrobial therapy combined with IVT/ITH polymyxin B, and 42 received IV administration alone. Most infections were caused by carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB, 63.2%), followed by carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP, 31.6%). Compared with the IV group, the IVT/ITH group had a higher cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) sterilization rate in 7 days (p < 0.001) and lower 30-day mortality (p = 0.032). In the IVT/ITH group, patients with CRKP infection had a higher initial fever (p = 0.014), higher incidence of bloodstream infection (p = 0.040), lower CSF sterilization in 7 days (p < 0.001), and higher 30-day mortality (p = 0.005) than those with CRAB infection. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the duration of IVT/ITH polymyxin B (p = 0.021) was independently associated with 30-day mortality.
    Conclusions: Intravenous combined with IVT/ITH polymyxin B increased CSF microbiological eradication and improved clinical outcomes. CRKP intracranial infections may lead to more difficult treatment and thus warrant attention and further optimized treatment.
