AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0016] As a main aspect of this invention, it has been surprisingly discovered that the fluorescence signal obtained during the electronic denaturation or dehybridization of DNA hybrids is perturbed at or around the electronic power (current and voltage) levels which are associated with the denaturation or dehybridization process. In one embodiment, the fluorescence signal perturbation phenomena appears as a rise or spike in fluorescence intensity prior to dehybridization of a fluorescent labeled probe from a capture sequence attached to the microlocation test site. The power level, amplitude and slope of this fluorescence spike provide analytical tools for diagnosis. The combination of the fluorescence perturbation with other measurements also indicative of the hybridization match / mismatch state, such as consideration of the electronic melting (50% fluorescence decrease during electronic stringency control) can in combination provide a more efficient and reliable hybridization match / mismatch analysis.
[0030] It is yet a further object of this invention to provide for methods which provide for the rapid and accurate discrimination between matches and mismatches in nucleic acid hybrids.

Problems solved by technology

In general, this controlled dehybridization or electronic stringency process results in a significant differential between the final fluorescent intensity values for the match versus the mismatch sequence.

Ras G Match / Mismatch

[0097] APEX Chip Preparation and Capture Probe Loading—APEX active DNA chips, with 25 microlocation test sites (80 microns in diameter) were coated with streptavidin agarose accordingly. A 2.5% glyoxal agarose (FMC) solution in water was made according to manufacturer's instructions. The stock was equilibrated at 65° C., for 5 minutes. Chips were spin coated at 2.5K rpm for 20 seconds. Another layer was then applied at 10K rpm for 20 seconds. This second “thin layer was composed of a 1:4 mix of 5 mg / ml streptavidin (BM) in 50 mM NaPhosphate, 250 mM NaCl and 2.5% glyoxal agarose.

[0098] The chips were baked at 37° C. for 30 minutes. Streptavidin was coupled to the agarose via Schiff's base reduction in 0.1M NaCNBH3 in 0.3M NaBorate, pH 9.0, for 60 minutes, at room temperature. The remaining aldehydes were capped with 0.1M glycine, for 30 minutes, at room temperature, and finally rinsed in water, dried under N2 and then stored at 4° C.

Ras G and HLA Match / Mismatches

[0101] The APEX chip preparation procedure was the same as Example 1. Capture probe addressing conditions were the same as Example 1. The Ras 415 sequence was electronically addressed to all 5 microlocations in column 1 and Ras 416 addressed to all 5 microlocations in column 2 of the APEX chip. The HLA 241 sequence was addressed to all 5 microlocations in column 4 and HLA 378 was addressed to all 5 microlocations in column 5. The Ras 411 and HLA 253 fluorescent target probes were mixed and passively hybridized to the APEX chip. Electronic dehybridization and stringency was carried out for the Ras system at 1.5 μA / microlocation, DC pulsing for 0.1 sec on, 0.2 sec off, 150 cycles (20 mM NaPhosphate, pH 7.4). Electronic dehybridization and stringency for the HLA system was carried out at 0.6 μA / microlocation, DC pulsing for 0.1 sec on, 0.2 sec off, 150 cycles (20 mM NaPhosphate, pH 7.4). Data collected as reported above. FIG. 6 shows the results for Examp...

Abstract

Methods for catalyzing cleavage of a bond with an electric field device. In one method, a catalytic peptide having a first reactive group and a second reactive group is coupled to an electrode. The catalytic peptide is then contacted with a solution containing a substrate. The first reactive group reacts with the substrate to form a first intermediate. The second reactive group then reacts with the first intermediate to form a positively-charged second intermediate having an acyl bond and a negatively-charged first reactive group. An electronic pulsing sequence is then applied to the electrode to separate the negatively-charged first reactive group and the positively-charged second intermediate. The second intermediate is then reacted by acyl transfer to cleave the acyl bond. The first reactive group may be a sulfhydryl or deprotonated sulfhydryl. The second reactive group may be an imidazole. The substrate may contain an ester or amide bond.
