Enantiomers, chiral isomers with opposite chirality, typically demonstrate differences in their pharmacological activity, metabolism, and toxicity. However, direct discrimination between enantiomers is challenging due to their similar physiochemical properties. Following the strategy of programmable nanoreactors for stochastic sensing (PNRSS), introduction of phenylboronic acid (PBA) to a Mycobacterium smegmatis porin A (MspA) assists in the identification of the enantiomers of norepinephrine and epinephrine. Using a machine learning algorithm, identification of the enantiomers has been achieved with an accuracy of 98.2%. The enantiomeric excess (ee) of a mixture of enantiomeric catecholamines was measured to d... More
