研究目的
To improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in high-bandwidth nanopore and ion channel conductance recordings using wavelet denoising techniques instead of traditional Bessel filtering, while retaining temporal signal characteristics.
研究成果
Wavelet denoising significantly improves SNR in high-bandwidth nanopore and ion channel recordings compared to Bessel filters, reducing noise by factors such as over four times while preserving temporal features. This enables better statistical analyses and insights into dynamics, with potential applications in disease research and analyte detection.
研究不足
Wavelet denoising assumes Gaussian amplitude distribution of detail coefficients, which may be violated by strong noise components like electromagnetic interference, requiring mitigation through shielding. The technique's performance depends on signal amplitude relative to noise, and hard thresholding can introduce artifacts (e.g., upward spikes in ion channel data). Computational complexity and the need for pure-noise data for threshold extraction are also limitations.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employs wavelet denoising techniques, specifically the stationary wavelet transform (SWT) with biorthogonal
2：5 wavelet, level-dependent thresholding (LDT), and garrote or hard thresholding schemes. This is compared to standard fourth-order Bessel filters for denoising simulated and experimental data. Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Simulated data with white or f2 noise added to idealized pulses, and experimental data from high-bandwidth CMOS-integrated recordings of solid-state nanopores (measuring 90-nucleotide ssDNA translocations in 3 M KCl) and ion channels (Type 1 ryanodine receptor, RyR1, in suspended lipid bilayers with 1 mM ATP and 40 μM Ca2?).
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Integrated CMOS transimpedance amplifiers, glass-passivated ultra-thin nanopores, suspended lipid bilayers, SU-8 wells, acquisition system with 40 MSPS sampling rate, Bessel filters, and Python with PyWavelets module for signal processing.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Data acquisition at 40 MSPS, application of hardware Bessel filters, software filtering or wavelet denoising (with steps including wavelet basis selection, decomposition level choice, threshold calculation, thresholding, and inverse transform), and analysis of SNR and temporal characteristics.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Calculation of baseline noise levels, SNR improvements, dwell times (full-width-at-half-maximum), amplitude histograms, and statistical averaging over multiple simulations or events.
