Abstrakt: Multiplexed nucleic acid sensing methods with high specificity are vital for clinical diagnostics and infectious disease control, especially in the postpandemic era. Nanopore sensing techniques have developed in the past two decades, offering versatile tools for biosensing while enabling highly sensitive analyte measurements at the single-molecule level. Here, we establish a nanopore sensor based on DNA dumbbell nanoswitches for multiplexed nucleic acid detection and bacterial identification. The DNA nanotechnology-based sensor switches from an "open" into a "closed" state when a target strand hybridizes to two sequence-specific sensing overhangs. The loop in the DNA pulls two groups of dumbbells together. The change in topology results in an easily recognized peak in the current trace. Simultaneous detection of four different sequences was achieved by assembling four DNA dumbbell nanoswitches on one carrier. The high specificity of the dumbbell nanoswitch was verified by distinguishing single base variants in DNA and RNA targets using four barcoded carriers in multiplexed measurements. By combining multiple dumbbell nanoswitches with barcoded DNA carriers, we identified different bacterial species even with high sequence similarity by detecting strain specific 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) fragments.
