[PMID: 38733645 DOI: 10.1016/j.bpc.2024.107238] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2024] [Revised: 04/03/2024] [Accepted: 04/10/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024]
Abstract
Quantum dots (QDs) are semiconductor nanocrystals (2-10 nm) with unique optical and electronic properties due to quantum confinement effects. They offer high photostability, narrow emission spectra, broad absorption spectrum, and high quantum yields, making them versatile in various applications. Due to their highly reactive surfaces, QDs can conjugate with biomolecules while being used, produced, or unintentionally released into the environment. This systematic review delves into intricate relationship between QDs and proteins, examining their interactions that influence their physicochemical properties, enzymatic activity, ligand binding affinity, and stability. The research utilized electronic databases like PubMed, WOS, and Proquest, along with manual reviews from 2013 to 2023 using relevant keywords, to identify suitable literature. After screening titles and abstracts, only articles meeting inclusion criteria were selected for full text readings. This systematic review of 395 articles identifies 125 articles meeting the inclusion criteria, categorized into five overarching themes, encompassing various mechanisms of QDs and proteins interactions, including adsorption to covalent binding, contingent on physicochemical properties of QDs. Through a meticulous analysis of existing literature, it unravels intricate nature of interaction, significant influence on nanomaterials and biological entities, and potential for synergistic applications harnessing both specific and nonspecific interactions across various fields.

PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2023; 297:122709. [PMID: 37058841 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2023.122709] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2022] [Revised: 02/25/2023] [Accepted: 04/02/2023] [Indexed: 05/14/2023]
Abstract
A method was established for detecting the content of nitrofurazone (NFZ) by fluorescence quenching of N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC) coated cadmium telluride quantum dots (CdTe QDs). By means of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and multispectral methods such as fluorescence and ultraviolet visible spectra (UV-vis), the synthesized CdTe QDs were characterized. The quantum yield (φ) of CdTe QDs was measured as 0.33 by reference method. The CdTe QDs had a better stability, the RSD of fluorescence intensity was 1.51% in three months. NFZ quenching the emission light of CdTe QDs was observed. The analyses of Stern-Volmer and time-resolved fluorescence suggested the quenching was static. The binding constants (Ka) between NFZ and CdTe QDs were 1.14 × 104 (293 K), 0.74 × 104 (303 K) and 0.51 × 104 (313 K) L mol-1. The hydrogen bond or van der Waals force was the dominated binding force between NFZ and CdTe QDs. The interaction was further characterized by UV-vis absorption as well as Fourier transform infrared spectra (FT-IR). Using fluorescence quenching effect, a quantitative determination of NFZ was carried out. The optimal experimental conditions were studied and determined as following: pH was 7 and contact time was 10 min. The effects of reagent addition sequence, temperature and the foreign substances including some metals (Mg2+; Zn2+; Ca2+; K+; Cu2+), glucose, bovine serum albumin (BSA) and furazolidone on the determination were studied. There was a high correlation between the concentration of NFZ (0.40 - 39.63 μg mL-1) and F0/F with the standard curve F0/F = 0.0262c + 0.9910 (r = 0.9994). The detection limit (LOD) reached 0.04 μg mL-1 (3S0/S). The contents of NFZ in beef and bacteriostatic liquid were detected. The recovery of NFZ was 95.13% - 103.03% and RSD was 0.66% - 1.37% (n = 5).

Abstract
Although in recent times nanoparticles (NPs) are being used in various biological applications, their mechanism of binding interactions still remains hazy. Usually, the binding mechanism is perceived to be mediated through either the protein corona (PC) or protein complex (PCx). Herein, we report that the nanoparticle (NP)-protein interaction can also proceed via a different pathway without forming the commonly observed PC or PCx. In the present study, the NP-protein interaction between less-toxic zinc-silver-indium-sulfide (ZAIS) quantum dots (QDs) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was investigated by employing spectroscopic and microscopic techniques. Although the analyses of data obtained from fluorescence and thermodynamic studies do indicate the binding between QDs and BSA, they do not provide clear experimental evidence in favor of PC or PCx. Quite interestingly, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) studies have shown the formation of a new type of species where BSA protein molecules are adsorbed onto some portion of a QD surface rather than the entire surface. To the best of our knowledge, we believe that this is the first direct experimental evidence in favor of a model-free pathway for NP-protein interaction events. Thus, the outcome of the present study, through experimental evidence, clearly suggests that NP-protein interaction can proceed by following a pathway that is different from classical PC and PCx.

Abstract
Nanoparticles in biological systems such as the bloodstream are exposed to a complex solution of biomolecules. A "corona" monolayer of proteins has historically been thought to form on nanoparticles upon introduction into such environments. To examine the first steps of protein binding, Fluorescence Correlation/Cross Correlation Spectroscopy and Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer were used to directly analyze four different nanoparticle systems. CdSe/ZnS core/shell quantum dots, 100 nm diameter polystyrene fluospheres, 200 nm diameter polystyrene fluospheres, and 200 nm diameter PEG-grafted DOTAP liposomes were studied with respect to serum protein binding, using bovine serum albumin as a model. Surface heterogeneity is found to be a key factor in protein binding to these nanoparticles, and as such we present a novel conceptualization of the early hard corona as low-ratio, non-uniform binding rather than a uniform monolayer.
