Phospholipid bilayer membrane for nanopore sequencing and preparation method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a phospholipid bilayer membrane for nanopore sequencing and a preparation method thereof, and the preparation method sequentially comprises the following steps: (1) mixing a hydrophobic micromolecule monomer, a photoinitiator and phospholipid molecules to obtain a phospholipid mixture; (2) smearing the phospholipid mixture on the nanopore base material, and volatilizing the solvent to obtain a phospholipid membrane; and (3) adding an ion buffer solution into bathing pools on two sides of the nanopore base material to redissolve phospholipid molecules, then recoating the nanopore base material with the phospholipid mixture, and carrying out photo-initiation polymerization to obtain the phospholipid bilayer membrane for nanopore sequencing. The invention also comprises the phospholipid bilayer membrane for nanopore sequencing prepared by the method. According to the invention, the hydrophobic micromolecular monomer with double bonds and the phospholipid are doped and subjected to in-situ polymerization, so that the problems of poor stability, difficulty in repeated preparation and the like of the phospholipid bilayer membrane in the prior art are solved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of biological sciences, in particular to a phospholipid bilayer membrane for nanopore sequencing and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] DNA is the code and blueprint that make up life. The sequence of bases in nucleotides in DNA constitutes genetic information, which can form RNA through the process of transcription, and then the mRNA in it can produce polypeptides and proteins through translation. As a relatively stable modification state, DNA methylation can be inherited to newborn offspring DNA during the DNA replication process under the action of DNA methyltransferase, which is an important epigenetic mechanism; therefore, as The only methylated form in mammals, 5-methylcytosine is also known as the "fifth base" of the human body. Abnormal DNA methylation is closely related to the occurrence and development of various diseases. Therefore, accurate detection of base sequence an...
