PG - 6308-6318 LID - 10.1021/acsnano.9b00618 [doi] AB - Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are a class of polysaccharides with potent biological activities. Due to their complex and heterogeneous composition, varied charge, polydispersity, and presence of isobaric stereoisomers, the analysis of GAG samples poses considerable challenges to current analytical techniques. In the present study, we combined solid-state nanopores-a single molecule sensor with a support vector machine (SVM)-a machine learning algorithm for the analysis of GAGs. Our results indicate that the nanopore/SVM technique could distinguish between monodisperse fragments of heparin and chondroitin sulfate with high accuracy (>90%), allowing as low as 0.8% (w/w) of chondroitin sulfate impurities in a heparin sample to be detected. In addition, the nanopore/SVM technique distinguished between unfractionated heparin (UFH) and enoxaparin (low molecular weight heparin) with an accuracy of approximately 94% on average. With a reference sample for calibration, a nanopore could achieve nanomolar sensitivity and a 5-Log dynamic range. We were able to quantify heparin with reasonable accuracy using multiple nanopores. Our studies demonstrate the potential of the nanopore/SVM technique to quantify and identify GAGs.
