PG - 1620-1626 LID - 10.1021/acs.analchem.0c04073 [doi] AB - A versatile single magnetic nanoparticle (MNP)-confined, click chemistry-actuated digital DNA walker (ddWalker) machine is devised for the absolute quantification of microRNA (miRNA). This delicate ddWalker allows one target molecule to fix one DNA walking leg on a single MNP, following the Poisson statistics through a specific click chemical DNA ligation, which will initiate single molecule DNA walking to stepwise cleave the molecular beacon tracks strictly constrained on the leg-hold MNP without cross-particle reaction, fluorescently "lighting up" the exact MNP. Accordingly, the initial miRNA input can be digitally and faithfully reflected by the number of fluorescent-positive MNPs counted by a total internal reflection fluorescent microscope, enabling the absolute and precise miRNA quantification down to the femtomolar level without external calibration. This flexible ddWalker design provides a new digital signaling concept and elegantly expands the toolbox for digital biosensing.
