Abstrakt: ADAM-17 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase 17) plays an important role in various physiological and pathophysiological processes. Overexpression/underexpression of ADAM-17 could lead to various diseases. In this work, by taking advantage of ionic strength and salt gradient, and monitoring the cleavage of a substrate peptide by ADAM-17 in a nanopore, we developed a label-free sensor for the rapid detection of ADAM-17. The sensor was highly sensitive and selective: picomolar concentrations of ADAM-17 could be detected within minutes, while structure similar proteases such as ADAM-9 and MMP-9 did not interfere with its detection. Our developed nanopore sensing strategy should find useful applications in the development of nanopore sensors for other proteases of biological, pharmaceutical, and medical importance.
