Pulsed-laser production and detection of spin-polarized hydrogen atoms.

Spin-polarized hydrogen (SPH) atoms have traditionally been produced and detected using complex experimental methods with poor time resolution. Recently, SPH has been produced by pulsed-laser photodissociation of HCl using circularly polarized light. In combination with the proposed detection of SPH via polarized fluorescence, this approach should allow the production and spatially resolved detection of SPH with a higher sensitivity than that currently available, and with a time resolution in the nanosecond regime. This represents an improvement of several orders of magnitude over the existing methods.     

(CdSe)ZnS quantum dots and organophosphorus hydrolase bioconjugate as biosensors for detection of paraoxon

In this paper, we first report a novel biosensor for the detection of paraoxon based on (CdSe)ZnS core-shell quantum dots (QDs) and an organophosphorus hydrolase (OPH) bioconjugate. The OPH was coupled to (CdSe)ZnS core-shell QDs through electrostatic interaction between negatively charged QDs surfaces and the positively charged protein side chain and ending groups (-NH2). Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy showed no significant change in the secondary structure of OPH after the bioconjugation, which indicates that the activity of OPH was preserved. Detectable secondary structure changes were observed by CD spectroscopy when the OPH/QDs bioconjugate was exposed to organophosphorus compounds such as paraoxon. Photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopic study showed that the PL intensity of the OPH/QDs bioconjugate was quenched in the presence of paraoxon. The overall quenching percentage as a function of paraoxon concentration matched very well with the Michaelis-Menten equation. This result indicated that the quenching of PL intensity was caused by the conformational change in the enzyme, which is confirmed by CD measurements. The detection limit of paraoxon concentration using OPH/QDs bioconjugate was about 10(-8) M. Although increasing the OPH molar ratio in the bioconjugates will slightly increase the sensitivity of biosensor, no further increase of sensitivity was achieved when the molar ratio of OPH to QDs was greater than 20 because the surface of QDs was saturated by OPH. These properties make the OPH/QDs bioconjugate a promising biosensor for the detection of organophosphorus compounds.     

Characterization and evaluation of silk protein hydrogels for drug delivery

The objective of this study was to characterize and evaluate the physicochemical properties and drug release profiles of hydrogels composed of silk protein (SP) polymers. SPs with a low MW (SPL, ca. 18 kDa) and a high MW (SPH, ca. 76 kDa) were used for preparing hydrogels. Both the random coil form and beta-sheet conformation simultaneously existed in the hydrogels according to Fourier-transformed IR determination. Morphologically, the hydrogels showed a sponge-like cross-linked structure produced by physical entanglement as well as chemical hydrogen and covalent bindings. The in vitro buprenorphine delivery from SPH hydrogels showed a slow-release effect, and a zero-order rate was obtained for all preparations. Drug release could be controlled by varying the SPH concentrations or incorporation of SPL into the systems. SP hydrogels showed a stronger barrier property for hydrophilic solutes than for hydrophobic solutes. The incorporation of SPH into Pluronic F-127 (PF-127) hydrogels changed the gel structure from amorphous micelles to a regularly interconnected texture with pores. Furthermore, SPH as an adjuvant polymer in PF-127 and chitosan hydrogels lowered and controlled the amount of drug released from those systems.     

Density functional theory study of ligand binding on CdSe (0001), (0001), and (1120) single crystal relaxed and reconstructed surfaces: implications for nanocrystalline growth

To gain a better understanding of the influence of ligand-surface interactions on nanocrystalline growth, periodic density functional theory calculations were employed in the study of the binding of organic ligands on the relaxed nonpolar (1120) and polar Se terminated (0001) surfaces and the relaxed and vacancy and adatom reconstructed Cd terminated (0001) surface. We examined chemisorption properties of phosphine, amine, phosphine oxide, carboxylic acid, and phosphinic acid model ligands, including preferred binding sites and geometries, vibrational frequencies, and binding energetics, and compared findings to intrinsic growth via addition of CdSe molecules or Cd and Se atoms. Our results indicate that binding of the ligands is preferred in the electron-poor 1-fold sites on all surfaces, with secondary coordination of the acidic ligands through the hydroxyl hydrogen to the electron-rich surface sites. In general ligand adsorption directly obstructs binding sites for growth species on the (1120) surface and only indirectly on the two polar surfaces. The order of binding affinities on the (1120) and (0001) surfaces is PH(3) < OPH(3) approximately HCOOH < NH(3) < OPH(2)OH and that on the (0001) surface is OPH(3) approximately HCOOH < OPH(2)OH < NH(3) < PH(3). Our findings corroborate the experimental observation that incorporation of the nonbulky phosphinic acid-type ligands with high affinity and high selectivity for both the (1120) and (0001) surfaces strongly enhances unidirectional growth on the (0001) surface, while incorporation of either bulky ligands or ligands with moderate affinity does not. Higher affinity of all traditionally used ligands for the (1120) surface compared to the (0001) surface also suggests that new ligands should be engineered to achieve the synthesis of novel shapes that require preferential growth on the (1120) surface.     

The interaction between OPH and paraoxon at the air-water interface studied by AFM and epifluorescence microscopies

The paraoxon hydrolysis reaction catalyzed by organophosphorus hydrolase (OPH) monolayer at the air-water interface was studied. OPH-paraoxon interactions, occurring at the two-dimensional interface, by close-packed, highly orientated OPH monolayer, were investigated by several different surface chemistry techniques; e.g. surface pressure area isotherms, atomic force microscopy (AFM), and in situ epifluorescence microscopy. The characterization of OPH Langmuir and Langmuir-Blodgett films prepared in both the presence and absence of paraoxon, demonstrated significantly distinctive feature when compared with one another. Continuous growth of the OPH aggregates is a distinct phenomenon associated with hydrolysis, in addition to the pH changes in the local environment of the enzyme macromolecules.     

Theoretical studies of molybdenum peroxo complexes [MoOn(O2)3-n(OPH3)] as catalysts for olefin epoxidation

The equilibrium geometries of the molybdenum oxo/peroxo compounds MoOn(O2)3-n and the related complexes [MoOn(O2)3-n(OPH3)] and [MoOn(O2)3-n(OPH3)(H2O)] (n = 0-3) have been calculated using gradient-corrected density-functional theory at the B3LYP level. The structures of the peroxo complexes with ethylene ligands [MoOn(O2)3-n(C2H4)] and [MoOn(O2)3-n(OPH3)(C2H4)] (n = 1, 2) where ethylene is directly bonded to the metal have also been optimized. Calculations of the metal-ligand bond-dissociation energies show that the OPH3 ligand in [MoOn(O2)3-n(OPH3)] is much more strongly bound than the ethylene ligand in [MoOn(O2)3-n(C2H4)]. This makes the substitution of phosphane oxide by olefins in the epoxidation reaction unlikely. An energy-minimum structure is found for [MoO(O2)2(OPH3)(C2H4)], for which the dissociation of C2H4 is exothermic with D0 = -5.2 kcal/mol. The reaction energies for the perhydrolysis of the oxo complexes with H2O2 and the epoxidation of ethylene by the peroxo complexes have also been calculated. The peculiar stability of the diperoxo complex [MoO(O2)2(OPH3)(H2O)] can be explained with the reaction energies for the perhydrolysis of [MoOn(O2)3-n(OPH3)(H2O)]. The first perhydrolysis step yielding the monoperoxo complex is less exothermic than the second perhydrolysis reaction, but the further reaction with H2O2 yielding the unknown triperoxo complex is clearly endothermic. CDA analysis of the metal-ethylene bond shows that the binding interactions are mainly caused by charge donation from the ligand to the metal.     

(2+1) laser-induced fluorescence of spin-polarized hydrogen atoms

We report the measurement of the spin polarization of hydrogen (SPH) atoms by (2+1) laser-induced fluorescence, produced via the photodissociation of thermal HBr molecules with circularly polarized 193 nm light. This scheme, which involves two-photon laser excitation at 205 nm and fluorescence at 656 nm, offers an experimentally simpler polarization-detection method than the previously reported vacuum ultraviolet detection scheme, allowing the detection of SPH atoms to be performed more straightforwardly, from the photodissociation of a wide range of molecules and from a variety of collision experiments.     

Effect of dimerization on the catalytic properties of native and chimeric organophosphorus hydrolase determined by molecular modeling of the enzyme structure

The mechanisms of structural reorganization of a protein globule resulting in changes in the stability of enzyme depending on the pH of the medium were revealed by molecular dynamics modeling of the structure of the organophosphorus hydrolase (OPH) dimer. The same reorganization leads to changes in the substrate specificity of the enzyme depending on its genetic modification, which was experimentally confirmed. Based on the obtained theoretical data, it was concluded that the dimerization significantly affects the catalytic characteristics of the native form of OPH. An analysis of the whole set of theoretical and experimental data concerning the characteristics of the OPH chimeric forms suggests that their changes with respect to native OPH is a decrease in the level of dimerization of chimeric protein molecules.     

Display of Organophosphorus Hydrolase on the Cyanobacterial Cell Surface Using <Emphasis Type="Italic">Synechococcus</Emphasis> Outer Membrane Protein A as an Anchoring Motif

The display of proteins to cyanobacterial cell surface is made complex by combination of Gram-positive and Gram-negative features of cyanobacterial cell wall. Here, we showed that Synechococcus outer membrane protein A (SomA) can be used as an anchoring motif for the display of organophosphorus hydrolase (OPH) on cyanobacterial cell surface. The OPH, capable of degrading a wide range of organophosphate pesticides, was fused in frame to the carboxyl-terminus of different cell-surface exposed loops of SomA. Proteinase K accessibility assay and immunostaining visualized under confocal laser scanning microscopy demonstrated that a minor fraction of OPH with 12 histidines fused in frame with the third cell-surface exposed loop of SomA (SomAL3-OPH12H) was displayed onto the outermost cell surface with a substantial fraction buried in the cell wall, whereas OPH fused in frame with the fifth cell-surface exposed loop of SomA (SomAL5-OPH) was successfully translocated across the membrane and completely displayed onto the outermost surface of Synechococcus. The successful display of the functional heterologous protein on cell surface provides a useful model for variety of applications in cyanobacteria including screening of polypeptide libraries and whole-cell biocatalysts by immobilizing enzymes.
