Abstract
We report on interactions of different types of DNA molecules including double-stranded and plasmid DNA as well as polynucleotides (poly[dGdC]2 and poly[dAdT]2) with fac-[ReI(CO)3(pterin)(H2O)] (or Reptr) complex. The interaction was characterized spectroscopically and changes in the plasmid structure were verified by both electrophoresis and AFM microscopy. For comparative reasons, two others related tricarbonyl rhenium(I) complexes, fac-[(4,4'-bpy)ReI(CO)3(dppz)]+ (or Redppz) and fac-[(CF3SO3)ReI(CO)3(2,2'-bpy)] (or Rebpy) were also studied to further explore the influence of the different co-ligands on the interaction and DNA (photo)damage. Data reported herein suggests that DNA molecules can be structurally modified either by direct interaction with Re(I) complexes in their ground states inducing DNA relaxation, and/or through photoinduced cross-linking processes. The chemical nature of the co-ligands modulates the extent of the damage observed.

Insights into Molecular Structure of Pterins Suitable for Biomedical Applications. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms232315222.

Abstract
Pterins are an inseparable part of living organisms. Pterins participate in metabolic reactions mostly as tetrahydropterins. Dihydropterins are usually intermediates of these reactions, whereas oxidized pterins can be biomarkers of diseases. In this review, we analyze the available data on the quantum chemistry of unconjugated pterins as well as their photonics. This gives a comprehensive overview about the electronic structure of pterins and offers some benefits for biomedicine applications: (1) one can affect the enzymatic reactions of aromatic amino acid hydroxylases, NO synthases, and alkylglycerol monooxygenase through UV irradiation of H4pterins since UV provokes electron donor reactions of H4pterins; (2) the emission properties of H2pterins and oxidized pterins can be used in fluorescence diagnostics; (3) two-photon absorption (TPA) should be used in such pterin-related infrared therapy because single-photon absorption in the UV range is inefficient and scatters in vivo; (4) one can affect pathogen organisms through TPA excitation of H4pterin cofactors, such as the molybdenum cofactor, leading to its detachment from proteins and subsequent oxidation; (5) metal nanostructures can be used for the UV-vis, fluorescence, and Raman spectroscopy detection of pterin biomarkers. Therefore, we investigated both the biochemistry and physical chemistry of pterins and suggested some potential prospects for pterin-related biomedicine.

Abstract
Folic acid (FA; vitamin B9) and its associated sodium salts, strongly relevant for many scientific and technological applications - from nutrition to pharmacology and nanomedicine, suffer from a lack of characterization combining experimental and theoretical. In this work, a spectroscopic investigation of FA and its synthesized sodium salts in the form of dianion (Na2HFol) or trianion (Na3Fol) was scrutinized in their solid state. The spectroscopic (infrared, Raman, and solid state 13C-nuclear magnetic resonance) data interpretation was supported by theoretical calculations using the Density Functional Theory (DFT). Additionally, the compounds were characterized by UV-VIS diffuse-reflectance spectroscopy, combined thermal analysis (TG/DTG-DSC) coupled to mass spectrometry, and X-ray diffractometry. The main signatures of each species were identified, as well as the influence of the protonation level on their physicochemical properties. These distinct properties for the three compounds are mainly based on signals assigned to glutamic acid (glutamate) and pterin (neutral or anionic) moieties. This work should help developing new products based on FA or its anionic forms, such as theragnostic/drug delivery systems, supramolecular structures, nanocarbons, or metal complexes.

Abstract
In mass spectrometry, analytes must be released in the gas phase. There are two representative methods for the gasification of the condensed samples, i.e., ablation and desorption. While ablation is based on the explosion induced by the energy accumulated in the condensed matrix, desorption is a single molecular process taking place on the surface. In this paper, desorption methods for mass spectrometry developed in our laboratory: flash heating/rapid cooling, Leidenfrost phenomenon-assisted thermal desorption (LPTD), solid/solid friction, liquid/solid friction, electrospray droplet impact (EDI) ionization/desorption, and probe electrospray ionization (PESI), will be described. All the methods are concerned with the surface and interface phenomena. The concept of how to desorb less-volatility compounds from the surface will be discussed.

Abstract
A new synthetic route to acquire the water soluble complex fac-ReI(CO)3(pterin)(H2O) was carried out in aqueous solution. The complex has been obtained with success via the fac-[ReI(CO)3(H2O)3]Cl precursor complex. ReI(CO)3(pterin)(H2O) has been found to bind strongly with bovine and human serum albumins (BSA and HSA) with intrinsic-binding constants, Kb, of 6.5 × 105 M-1 and 5.6 × 105 M-1 at 310 K, respectively. The interactions of serum albumins with ReI(CO)3(pterin)(H2O) were evaluated employing UV-vis fluorescence and absorption spectroscopy and circular dichroism. The results suggest that the serum albumins-ReI(CO)3(pterin)(H2O) interactions occurred in the domain IIA-binding pocket without loss of helical stability of the proteins. The comparison of the fluorescence quenching of BSA and HSA due to the binding to the Re(I) complex suggested that local interaction around the Trp 214 residue had taken place. The analysis of the thermodynamic parameters ΔG0, ΔH0, and ΔS0 indicated that the hydrophobic interactions played a major role in both HSA-Re(I) and BSA-Re(I) association processes. All these experimental results suggest that these proteins can be considered as good carriers for transportation of ReI(CO)3(pterin)(H2O) complex. This is of significant importance in relation to the use of this Re(I) complex in several biomedical fields, such as photodynamic therapy and radiopharmacy.

Abstract
The origins of the absorption spectroscopy of pterin and Re(CO)3(pterin)(H2O) complex as a function of pH is studied using the hybrid functional B3LYP and PBE0 in combination with 6-311++G(d,p) and LanL2TZ(f) basis sets. A natural bond analysis was performed to the principal molecular orbitals involved in the electronic transitions of the studied compounds. The low energy band of pterin, which is described as a H→L electronic transition, can be interpreted as an admixture of π→π(*), n→π(*) and n→n electronic transitions involving π(C2-N1, C6-N5, C9-C10) and n(C2) orbitals of the HOMO and π(*)(C6-N5, C7-N8) and n(C4) orbitals of the LUMO. The low energy band of Re(CO)3(pterin)(H2O) can be described as a combination of different MLLCT transitions where electron density residing on different π orbitals of carbonyl-Re bonds and lone pairs of Re is transferred to pterin moiety. Besides MLLCT transitions, IL, LLCT and LLMCT transitions contribute the absorptions of the Re(I) complex in the wavelength region corresponding to the high energy bands. The calculated electronic spectra of the acid and base forms of pterin and Re(CO)3(pterin)(H2O) were simulated from the theoretical results and compared to the experimental absorption spectra with great accuracy both in position and relative intensities of the absorption bands.
