金属离子对氯过氧化物酶在25℃到55℃激活作用以及机理的研究

基于氯过氧化物酶（CPO）的卤化活性分析,发现某些碱土金属（Ca2+, Mg2+）和过渡金属（Co2+, Ni2+）对CPO具有明显的激活及稳定化作用。例如25 ºC时与CPO在纯缓冲溶液中相比,在75 μmol·L-1 Ca2+,90 μmol·L-1 Mg2+,90 μmol·L-1 Ni2+及105 μmol·L-1 Co2+存在时CPO可分别获得1.33,1.37,1.34 及1.27倍的最大相对活性。而在55 ºC,没有金属离子存在时,CPO 30分钟后仅能保留40%的活性,但在Ca2+,Mg2+离子的介质中,CPO的活性可分别保留81% 和 75%。推测这是由于金属离子结合在CPO活性中心周围的酸-碱催化位点Glu183, His105 and Asp106上,通过底物浓集和诱导有利构象来激活CPO. 同时动力学研究表明金属离子对CPO的激活归因于催化效率（kcat）的提高,以及CPO对底物亲和性及选择性的改善。

Supramolecular-mediated Immobilization of Trypsin on Cyclodextrin-modified Gold Nanospheres

Bovine pancreatic trypsin was immobilized on β- and γ-cyclodextrin coated gold nanospheres via supramolecular associations. The enzyme retained 100%–120% of its catalytic activity and its thermal stability at 50°C was 2–2.5 fold increased in the presence of the β- and γ-cyclodextrin modified metal nanoparticles, respectively. The influence of these immobilization processes on the conformational properties of the enzyme was studied by fluorescence spectroscopy. These results open a new perspective to the possible application of cyclodextrin-modified gold nanospheres as water-soluble carriers for enzyme immobilization.     

Polymer Inclusion Compounds by Polymerization of Monomers in β-Cyclodextrin Matrix in DMF Solution

The investigations of the synthesis of polyrotaxanes by the radical polymerization of monomers (vinylidene chloride, methyl acrylate, styrene, and methacrylonitrile) in DMF in the presence of β-cyclodextrin have been carried out. The possibility of formation β-cyclodextrin inclusion compounds with some vinyl monomers or some other organic substances in DMF solution has been established. We assume that the inclusion in presence of the solvent is related to the unusual phenomenon of β-cyclodextrin crystallization in hot DMF solutions. The polymerization of vinyl monomers in DMF solution at increased temperatures in the presence of β-cyclodextrin leads to compounds containing a great amount of cyclic compounds (up to 80%). Similar results have been obtained for monomers introduced as previously prepared adducts with β-cyclodextrin. Stable compounds of polymer and β-cyclodextrin have been obtained in the case of vinylidene chloride. The lack of carbohydrate moieties in the product obtained by polymerization of vinylidene chloride in the presence of linear dextrin suggest the inclusion character of the linkage between polymer and β-cyclodextrin molecules. The structure of a topological compound of polyrotaxane type is most feasible after dehydrochlorination.     

Synthesis of a novel β-cyclodextrin derivative with high solubility and the electrochemical properties of ferrocene-carbonyl-β-cyclodextrin inclusion complex as an electron transfer mediator

A facile strategy for preparing water-soluble β-cyclodextrin derivative, carbonyl-β-cyclodextrin, was developed by partial oxidation of β-cyclodextrin. The solubility of carbonyl-β-cyclodextrin was greatly enhanced due to the breaking of intramolecular hydrogen bond network of β-cyclodextrin. Ferrocene was included into the cavity of carbonyl-β-cyclodextrin to form Fc-carbonyl-β-cyclodextrin inclusion complex. The electrochemical properties of Fc-carbonyl-β-cyclodextrin were studied. The Fc-carbonyl-β-cyclodextrin complex exhibited high solubility and was shown to be good electrochemical probe and efficient mediator for bioelectrocatalysis of glucose oxidase. The bioelectrocatalytic efficacy of Fc-carbonyl-β-cyclodextrin complex opened up homogeneous applications of ferrocene in amperometric biosensor systems.     

Promotion of Activity and Thermal Stability of Chloroperoxidase by Trace Amount of Metal Ions (M2+/M3+)

The effect of M²⁺ (Zn²⁺, Cu²⁺, Cd²⁺, Mn²⁺, Pb²⁺) and M³⁺ (Cr³⁺, La³⁺, Fe³⁺, Ce³⁺, Y³⁺, Al³⁺) metal ions on the activity and thermal stability of chloroperoxidase (CPO) was investigated in this work. It was found that the lower concentration of metal ions was favorable to CPO activity whereas the higher concentration reversed the results. CPO activity could be increased to 116.4–127.1 % in the presence of a trace amount of these M²⁺/M³⁺ metal ions at a concentration range of 0–25 μmol L^?1 after 2 h of incubation at 25 °C. The activating effect of M³⁺ is better than that of M²⁺, and Cr³⁺ was mostly efficient. The thermal stability of the enzyme was also improved significantly. Only 30.3 % of CPO activity was retained at 50 °C whereas 82.6 % of CPO activity was maintained in the presence of Cr³⁺ after 2 h of incubation at the same temperature. The activation of CPO by metal ions at their low concentration was studied through intrinsic fluorescence, circular dichroism (CD), and UV–Vis spectra assay. A favorable environment around the active site was achieved in the presence of metal ions. Intrinsic fluorescence and CD spectra indicated that the α-helix structure of CPO was strengthened in metal ion-contained media. More exposure of the heme ring was achieved for easy access of the substrate, which was suggested by UV–Vis spectrum analysis. This strategy for enhancing CPO activity is very simple and useful. It will be favorable to the practical application of this enzyme.     

Stability of Dye Dispersions in the Presence of Various Surface Active Agents and Additives

Disperse dyes are hardly soluble in water. They are usually milled in the presence of large amounts of dispersing agents in the dye industry. The type and amount of these materials can affect the disperse ability of dyes in aqueous media. In this article, stability of prepared dye dispersions in the presence of various surface active agents and additives were investigated. In this respect, various dispersing agents such as Irgasol DAM, Asutol 644, Dispertane MF, and Irgasol P800 were used to prepare dye dispersions in milling stage. Furthermore, the formulations of dye dispersions were obtained by adding β-cyclodextrin, urea, and wetting agent. The dye dispersion quality was determined by its filtering property, turbidity, and centrifuging method. The obtained results proved the stability of dispersion containing of Irgasol DAM, wetting agent, and β-cyclodextrin as dispersing auxiliaries in dyeing process of disperse dye on polyester fabrics in high temperature method was the highest as compared to other dispersions. From the experimental results, it was found out that stability of prepared dispersions was improved by the presence of β-cyclodextrin. Also, utilization of β-cyclodextrin in formulations of dye dispersions caused to increasing of stability of dispersion in the dyeing of polyester fabrics.     

氯过氧化物酶活性中心结构域中Mn2+与酶催化行为的关系

通过乙二胺四乙酸二钠(EDTA)配位竞争反应结合石墨炉原子吸收及电感耦合等离子体发射检测结果,为氯过氧化物酶(CPO)活性中心血红素丙酸根与金属Mn2+配位结合提供了更直接的证据;基于Mn2+移除前后CPO的紫外特征吸收光谱、圆二色谱以及氯化活性和过氧化活性的变化,阐明了Mn2+的存在对于保持酶活性中心的结构域、稳定CPO的优势构象具有一定作用,是酶分子表现活力所必需的结构元素.本研究还发现移除Mn2+前后CPO血红素活性中心微环境的变化是一个可逆过程,重新引入Mn2+后活性可恢复,并且以外源性Ag+和Cr3+替代Mn2+后,CPO的氯化活性和过氧化活性分别比天然态的酶有所改善,为通过化学修饰提高CPO的催化活性提供了新的途径.     

Highly enantioselective oxidation of cis-cyclopropylmethanols to corresponding aldehydes catalyzed by chloroperoxidase.

Chloroperoxidase (CPO) catalyzes the enantioselective oxidation of cyclopropylmethanols, such as 2-methylcyclopropylmethanol, to cyclopropyl aldehydes using tert-butyl hydroperoxide as the terminal oxidant. In all cases, CPO oxidation of cis-cyclopropanes shows much higher enantioselectivity than with the trans isomers, although CPO gives similar catalytic activity on both isomers. This presents the first example for a heme enzyme that catalyzes the enantioselective oxidation of cyclopropylmethanols. This finding enables a novel route to the synthesis of optically active cyclopropane derivatives, which occur widely in natural products and compounds of pharmaceutical interest. In addition, chiral cyclopropane molecules may be useful model substrates to investigate reaction mechanisms of CPO and the related cytochromes P450.

Enantiomeric Separation of Drugs Using Ion Interaction Reagents in Combination with β-Cyclodextrin in HPLC

This work describes the use of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) as a mobile phase additive in combination with ion interaction reagents (IIR) for the enantioresolution of cyclopentolate, 2,6-diketopiperazine derivative and methylphenobarbital. The effect of concentration and type of IIR and temperature on retention and enantioseparation were studied. It has been found that the addition of an IIR to β-CD solution can lead to the improvement in enantioresolution. Interestingly, the most significant enhancement of enantioresolution was achieved for cyclopentolate, most probably due to its highest basicity. Also the stability constants of the complexes formed between β-CD and model compounds in the presence of IIR were estimated. Significant increase of complexation rate of cyclopentolate with β-cyclodextrin in presence of IIRs was observed.     

Compound I in heme thiolate enzymes: a comparative QM/MM study

This study directly compares the active species of heme enzymes, so-called Compound I (Cpd I), across the heme-thiolate enzyme family. Thus, sixty-four different Cpd I structures are calculated by hybrid quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical (QM/MM) methods using four different cysteine-ligated heme enzymes (P450(cam), the mutant P450(cam)-L358P, CPO and NOS) with varying QM region sizes in two multiplicities each. The overall result is that these Cpd I species are similar to each other with regard to many characteristic features. Hence, using the more stable CPO Cpd I as a model for P450 Cpd I in experiments should be a reasonable approach. However, systematic differences were also observed, and it is shown that NOS stands out in most comparisons. By analyzing the electrical field generated by the enzyme on the QM region, one can see that (a) the protein exerts a large influence and modifies all the Cpd I species compared with the gas-phase situation and (b) in NOS this field is approximately planar to the heme plane, whereas it is approximately perpendicular in the other enzymes, explaining the deviating results on NOS. The calculations on the P450(cam) mutant L358P show that the effects of removing the hydrogen bond between the heme sulfur and L358 are small at the Cpd I stage. Finally, Mossbauer parameters are calculated for the different Cpd I species, enabling future comparisons with experiments. These results are discussed in the broader context of recent findings of Cpd I species that exhibit large variations in the electronic structure due to the presence of the substrate.     

Studies of cyclodextrin-enhanced room-temperature phosphorescence

The enhancement of room-temperature phosphorescence by α-, β- and γ-cyclodextrins in the presence of heavy atoms is described for p-aminobenzoic acid, anthracene and six of its derivatives, dibenzofuran and some other compounds. The sensitivity can be improved by treating the filter paper substrate with the cyclodextrin (preferably β-cyclodextrin) or by mixing the analyte with β-cyclodextrin prior to sample spotting on the substrate.     

Activation of H2O2 by methyltrioxorhenium(VII) inside β-cyclodextrin

The effect of β-cyclodextrin on the catalytic stability and reactivity of methylrhenium trioxide (MTO), CH₃ReO₃, which has been used for activation of hydrogen peroxide toward oxidation and epoxidation reactions, was studied using UV–Vis spectrophotometery. The stability and reactivity of the new catalytic system (MTO/β-CD) to activate H₂O₂ toward oxidation of indigo blue dye were investigated in basic media. Furthermore, effects of inclusion stoichiometry, temperature and concentrations of hydrogen peroxide on the stability and reactivity of the MTO/β-CD system were investigated. The formation of the inclusion complex between MTO and β-CD was confirmed experimentally using the changes in the UV–Vis absorption spectra. The results of this study demonstrate that the complexation process was better guaranteed when the amount of β-CD is higher than that of MTO, using a 1:2 molar ratio of MTO:β-CD enhances both the activity and stability of the catalyst. The results showed that the stability of the catalytic system was enhanced in presence of β-CD with maintaining good reactivity of the MTO even in the presence of high concentration of NaOH. The changes of thermodynamic activation parameters (ΔH^≠ and ΔS^≠) for the oxidation reaction of indigo with H₂O₂ catalyzed by MTO/β-CD system were determined on the basis of the experimental data.

Abstract

Immobilization of α- and β-amylases on epoxypropylsilanized PartiSphere-5 was achieved. Hydrolysis of 2% potato starch solution yielded limit dextrin on α-amylase bound column while a mixture of limit dextrin, maltose and glucose was obtained from β-amylase bound column. The β-amylase bound column converted limit dextrin from α-amylase column into glucose.     

Stability and regeneration of metal catalytic sites with different sizes in Fenton-like system

Metal-based catalysts with different site sizes (e.g., metal nanoparticles (NPs) and single atom catalysts (SACs)) demonstrated outstanding catalytic activities in versatile Fenton-like reactions. However, the surface/structural instability is a critical issue, which will result in rapid passivation in Fenton-like reaction and fail in long-term operation. The catalytic stability of the catalysts with different metal sizes considering versatile peroxides (H₂O₂, peroxymonosulfate (PMS), and peroxodisulfate (PDS)) should be analyzed. In addition, strategies for catalyst regeneration and recyclability improvement are also important to realize the metal-based catalysts for practical applications. In this review, catalytic stability of catalysts with different metal sizes in the backgrounds of versatile peroxides and water matrixes in Fenton-like reactions were first evaluated. Regeneration of metal catalytic sites with different methods were also reviewed. Finally, major challenges and development of methods concerning the stability and regeneration of metal catalytic sites with different sizes were discussed to understand the future researches of metal catalytic sites in Fenton-like reactions.     

Preservation of <em>Bacillus firmus</em> Strain 37 and Optimization of Cyclodextrin Biosynthesis by Cells Immobilized on Loofa Sponge

The preservation of Bacillus firmus strain 37 cells by lyophilization was evaluated and response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimize the β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) production by cells immobilized on loofa sponge. Interactions were studied with the variables temperature, pH and dextrin concentration using a central composite design (CCD). Immobilization time influence on β-CD production was also investigated. B. firmus strain 37 cells remained viable after one year of storage, showing that the lyophilization is a suitable method for preservation of the microorganism. From the three-dimensional diagrams and contour plots, the best conditions for β-CD production were determined: temperature 60 °C, pH 8, and 18% dextrin. Considering that the amount of dextrin was high, a new assay was carried out, in which dextrin concentrations of 10, 15, and 18% were tested and the temperature of 60 °C and pH 8 were maintained. The results achieved showed very small differences and therefore, for economic reasons, the use of 10% dextrin is suggested. Increasing the immobilization time of cells immobilized on synthetic sponge the β-CD production decreased and did not change for cells immobilized on loofa sponge. The results of this research are important for microorganism preservation and essential in the optimization of the biosynthesis of CD.
