Today, with rapid advancement of nanotechnology, we can fabricate devices to answer some of the major scientific questions. One of these questions deals with fundamentals behind protein-protein interactions (PPI) given how crucial proteins are for many processes including but not limited to organism development, metabolism, and defense against viruses. Experimentally measuring protein-protein binding forces has a significant impact on how we see and understand living systems. Despite the practicality of knowing exact values of intermolecular binding forces, their actual measurement remains challenging given the complexity of proteins’ nature. With this in mind, we developed a novel, simple, and high-throughput microfluidic platform for ultrasensitive detection of PPI by means of light manipulation. We fabricated Ag/Al- coated high aspect ratio nanopillars, coated their surface with antibodies specific to C-reactive protein and SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and later used them to detect their respective antigens with limits of detection equal to 11 and 5 pM, respectively. We assembled microfluidic devices with polystyrene (PS) thin film base decorated with PS nanopillars and detected PPI within Biotin-Streptavidin-X systems, where X corresponds to ligands with various molecular weights. After optimizing our PPI detection system, we collected data using various protein and biomolecule systems. We believe these results will contribute both quantitative and qualitative information on commonly used protein systems and help improve currently available PPI analysis platforms.

如今，随着纳米技术的快速发展，我们可以制造设备来回答一些主要的科学问题，其中一个问题涉及蛋白质-蛋白质相互作用（PPI）背后的基本原理，因为蛋白质对于许多过程（包括但不限于生物体）至关重要。实验测量蛋白质-蛋白质结合力对我们如何看待和理解生命系统具有重大影响，尽管了解分子间结合力的精确值具有实用性，但考虑到它们的实际测量仍然具有挑战性。蛋白质性质的复杂性。为此，我们开发了一种新颖、简单、高通量的微流体平台，用于通过光操纵对 PPI 进行超灵敏检测。 SARS-CoV-2 刺突蛋白，后来用它们来检测各自的抗原，检测限分别为 11 和 5 pM。 PS 纳米柱和生物素-链霉亲和素-X 系统中检测到的 PPI，其中 X 对应于不同分子量的配体 在优化我们的 PPI 检测系统后，我们使用各种蛋白质和生物分子系统收集了数据，我们相信这些结果将有助于定量和定性。有关常用蛋白质系统的信息，有助于改进当前可用的 PPI 分析平台。
