Mutagenesis and Overexpression of DNase for Single Molecule StudiesDenise DerIM-SURE Program 2007Mentor: Professor Philip CollinsCollaborator: Professor Gregory WeissGraduate Students: John Coroneus, Issa Moody, Jorge Lamboy
BackgroundSingle molecule streptavidin attached to carbon nanotubeAttachment was nonspecificEDC/NHS functionalized carbon nanotubeTetrameric streptavidinFour lysines per monomer
Figure from http://chem.ps.uci.edu/~gweiss/research.htmEDC = N-ethyl-N-(3-dimethyl aminopropyl) carbodiimide NHS = N-hydroxysuccinimide
GoalSite-specific protein attachment via cysteine-maleimide chemistry
Significance: To monitor proteins in real-time, to elucidate kinetic information such as the turnover rate, and to see if the positioning of the attachment affects the performance of nano biosensor
BackgroundDNase domain of colicin E9Previously studiedMonomerNo cysteine residues
Figure from the protein data bank online
Methodology OverviewMutagenesisOverexpressionPurificationActivity AssayAttachmentBiosensorDetector
Site-Specific MutationsTwo internal mutations: replacing a serine with a cysteineTwo external mutations: inserting a cysteine at the N-terminus or C-terminus

Arising ProblemSize exclusion chromatograph
Mass SpectrumExpected kDa: 15.11 kDaActual kDa: 15.104 kDa
Impurity at 11.278 kDa
Future WorkTo continue working on purifying the DNase mutantsAdding protease inhibitor and inducing for less timeTo attach to a functionalized nanotubeTo measure the conductance of single molecule
