Abstract
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) hold great promise for several different applications, from colorimetric sensors to antimicrobial agents. Despite their widespread incorporation in consumer products, limited understanding of the detrimental effects and cellular antioxidant responses associated with AgNPs at sublethal concentrations persists, raising concerns for human and ecological well-being. To address this gap, we synthesized AgNPs of varying sizes and evaluated their cytotoxicity against human dermal fibroblasts (HDF). Our study revealed that toxicity of AgNPs is a time- and size-dependent process, even at low exposure levels. AgNPs exhibited low short-term cytotoxicity but high long-term impact, particularly for the smallest NPs tested. Raman microspectroscopy was employed for in-time investigations of intracellular molecular variations during the first 24 h of exposure to AgNPs of 35 nm. Subtle protein and lipid degradations were detected, but no discernible damage to the DNA was observed. Signals associated with antioxidant proteins, such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and metallothioneins (MTs), increased over time, reflecting the heightened production of these defense agents. Fluorescence microscopy further confirmed the efficacy of overexpressed antioxidant proteins in mitigating ROS formation during short-term exposure to AgNPs. This work provides valuable insights into the molecular changes and remedial strategies within the cellular environment, utilizing Raman microspectroscopy as an advanced analytical technique. These findings offer a novel perspective on the cytotoxicity mechanism of AgNPs, contributing to the development of safer materials and advice on regulatory guidelines for their biomedical applications.

Abstract
Microplastics (MPs) have become widespread in the modern world posing a hidden threat to the global environment. However, growing accumulation and devastating impact of MPs on human health and the environment have received least attention. In the current investigation, for the first time MPs have been identified which are released from the daily usable materials like polythene bags (PB) and paper cups (PC) in response to hot and cold water exposure at different time intervals. The impact of these MPs has been assessed on the major antioxidant enzyme, bovine liver catalase (BLC). The binding of MPs caused conformational changes in BLC by decreasing the α-helical content, which results in reduction of the enzymatic activity. Kinetics study revealed nearly ∼1.4-fold compromised catalytic efficiency of catalase in response to MPs. Nevertheless, hepatic catalase activity was also significantly decreased in presence of MPs. Further, materials like glass, porcelain, stainless steel, and high-grade plastics are discovered as greener alternatives to PB and PC.

Optical Aggregation of Gold Nanoparticles for SERS Detection of Proteins and Toxins in Liquid Environment: Towards Ultrasensitive and Selective Detection. MATERIALS 2018; 11:ma11030440.

Abstract
Optical forces are used to aggregate plasmonic nanoparticles and create SERS-active hot spots in liquid. When biomolecules are added to the nanoparticles, high sensitivity SERS detection can be accomplished. Here, we pursue studies on Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) detection, investigating the BSA-nanorod aggregations in a range from 100 µM to 50 nM by combining light scattering, plasmon resonance and SERS, and correlating the SERS signal with the concentration. Experimental data are fitted with a simple model describing the optical aggregation process. We show that BSA-nanorod complexes can be optically printed on non-functionalized glass surfaces, designing custom patterns stable with time. Furthermore, we demonstrate that this methodology can be used to detect catalase and hemoglobin, two Raman resonant biomolecules, at concentrations of 10 nM and 1 pM, respectively, i.e., well beyond the limit of detection of BSA. Finally, we show that nanorods functionalized with specific aptamers can be used to capture and detect Ochratoxin A, a fungal toxin found in food commodities and wine. This experiment represents the first step towards the addition of molecular specificity to this novel biosensor strategy.

Abstract
Membrane proteins and macromolecular complexes often yield crystals too small or too thin for even the modern synchrotron X-ray beam. Electron crystallography could provide a powerful means for structure determination with such undersized crystals, as protein atoms diffract electrons four to five orders of magnitude more strongly than they do X-rays. Furthermore, as electron crystallography yields Coulomb potential maps rather than electron density maps, it could provide a unique method to visualize the charged states of amino acid residues and metals. Here we describe an attempt to develop a methodology for electron crystallography of ultrathin (only a few layers thick) 3D protein crystals and present the Coulomb potential maps at 3.4-Å and 3.2-Å resolution, respectively, obtained from Ca(2+)-ATPase and catalase crystals. These maps demonstrate that it is indeed possible to build atomic models from such crystals and even to determine the charged states of amino acid residues in the Ca(2+)-binding sites of Ca(2+)-ATPase and that of the iron atom in the heme in catalase.

Abstract
BACKGROUND For many pathogenic microorganisms, iron acquisition represents a significant stress during the colonization of a mammalian host. Heme is the single most abundant source of soluble iron in this environment. While the importance of iron assimilation for nearly all organisms is clear, the mechanisms by which heme is acquired and utilized by many bacterial pathogens, even those most commonly found at sites of infection, remain poorly understood. METHODS An alternative protocol for the production and purification of the outer membrane hemoglobin receptor (HmbR) from the pathogen Neisseria meningitidis has facilitated a biophysical characterization of this outer membrane transporter by electronic absorption, circular dichroism, electron paramagnetic resonance, and resonance Raman techniques. RESULTS HmbR co-purifies with 5-coordinate high spin ferric heme bound. The heme binding site accommodates exogenous imidazole as a sixth ligand, which results in a 6-coordinate, low-spin ferric species. Both the 5- and 6-coordinate complexes are reduced by sodium hydrosulfite. Four HmbR variants with a modest decrease in binding efficiency for heme have been identified (H87C, H280A, Y282A, and Y456C). These findings are consistent with an emerging paradigm wherein the ferric iron center of bound heme is coordinated by a tyrosine ligand. CONCLUSION In summary, this study provides the first spectroscopic characterization for any heme or iron transporter in Neisseria meningitidis, and suggests a coordination environment heretofore unobserved in a TonB-dependent hemin transporter. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE A detailed understanding of the nutrient acquisition pathways in common pathogens such as N. meningitidis provides a foundation for new antimicrobial strategies.

Abstract
Hemophores from Pseudomonas aeruginosa (HasAp), Serratia marcescens (HasAsm), and Yersinia pestis (HasAyp) bind hemin between two loops. One of the loops harbors conserved axial ligand Tyr75 (Y75 loop) in all three structures, whereas the second loop (H32 loop) contains axial ligand His32 in HasAp and HasAsm, but a noncoordinating Gln32 in HasAyp. Binding of hemin to the Y75 loop of HasAp or HasAsm causes a large rearrangement of the H32 loop that allows His32 coordination. The Q32 loop in apo-HasAyp is already in the closed conformation, such that binding of hemin to the conserved Y75 loop occurs with minimal structural rearrangement and without coordinative interaction with the Q32 loop. In this study, structural and spectroscopic investigations of the hemophore HasAp were conducted to probe (i) the role of the conserved Tyr75 loop in hemin binding and (ii) the proposed requirement of the His83-Tyr75 hydrogen bond to allow the coordination of hemin by Tyr75. High-resolution crystal structures of H83A holo-HasAp obtained at pH 6.5 (0.89 Å) and pH 5.4 (1.25 Å) show that Tyr75 remains coordinated to the heme iron, and that a water molecule can substitute for Nδ of His83 to interact with the Oη atom of Tyr75, likely stabilizing the Tyr75-Fe interaction. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy revealed that in apo-Y75A and apo-H83A HasAp, the Y75 loop is disordered, and that disorder propagates to nearby elements of secondary structure, suggesting that His83 Nδ-Tyr75 Oη interaction is important to the organization of the Y75 loop in apo-HasA. Kinetic analysis of hemin loading conducted via stopped-flow UV-vis and rapid-freeze-quench resonance Raman shows that both mutants load hemin with biphasic kinetic parameters that are not significantly dissimilar from those previously observed for wild-type HasAp. When the structural and kinetic data are taken together, a tentative model emerges, which suggests that HasA hemophores utilize hydrophobic, π-π stacking, and van der Waals interactions to load hemin efficiently, while axial ligation likely functions to slow hemin release, thus allowing the hemophore to meet the challenge of capturing hemin under inhospitable conditions and delivering it selectively to its cognate receptor.

Abstract
A heme domain of coral allene oxide synthase (cAOS) catalyzes the formation of allene oxide from fatty acid hydroperoxide. Although cAOS has a similar heme active site to that of catalase, cAOS is completely lacking in catalase activity. A close look at the hydrogen-bonding possibilities around the distal His in cAOS suggested that the imidazole ring is rotated by 180 degrees relative to that of catalase because of the hydrogen bond between Thr-66 and the distal His-67. This could contribute to the functional differences between cAOS and catalase, and to examine this possibility, we mutated Thr-66 in cAOS to Val, the corresponding residue in catalase. In contrast to the complete absence of catalase activity in wild type (WT) cAOS, T66V had a modest catalase activity. On the other hand, the mutation suppressed the native enzymatic activity of the formation of allene oxide to 14% of that of WT cAOS. In the resonance Raman spectrum, whereas WT cAOS has only a 6-coordinate/high spin heme, T66V has a 5-coordinate/high spin heme as a minor species. Because catalase adopts a 5-coordinate/high spin structure, probably the 5-coordinate/high spin portion of T66V showed the catalase activity. Furthermore, in accord with the fact that the CN affinity of catalase is higher than that of WT cAOS, the CN affinity of T66V was 8-fold higher than that of WT cAOS, indicating that the mutation could mimic the heme active site in catalase. We, therefore, propose that the hydrogen bond between Thr-66 and distal His-67 could modulate the orientation of distal His, thereby regulating the enzymatic activity in cAOS.

Abstract
The heme uptake systems by which bacterial pathogens acquire and utilize heme have recently been described. Such systems may utilize heme directly from the host's hemeproteins or via a hemophore that sequesters and transports heme to an outer membrane receptor and subsequently to the translocating proteins by which heme is further transported into the cell. However, little is known of the heme binding and release mechanisms that facilitate the uptake of heme into the pathogenic organism. As a first step toward elucidating the molecular level events that drive heme binding and release, we have undertaken a spectroscopic and mutational study of the first purified periplasmic heme-binding protein (PBP), ShuT from Shigella dysenteriae. On the basis of sequence identity, the ShuT protein is most closely related to the class of PBPs typified by the vitamin B(12) (BtuF) and iron-hydroxamate (FhuD) PBPs and is a monomeric protein having a molecular mass of 28.5 kDa following proteolytic processing of the periplasmic signaling peptide. ShuT binds one b-type heme per monomer with high affinity and bears no significant homology with other known heme proteins. The resonance Raman, MCD, and UV-visible spectra of WT heme-ShuT are consistent with a five-coordinate high spin heme having an anionic O-bound proximal ligand. Site-directed ShuT mutants of the absolutely conserved Tyr residues, Tyr-94 (Y94A) and Tyr-228 (Y228F), which are found in all putative periplasmic heme-binding proteins, were subjected to UV-visible, resonance Raman, and MCD spectroscopic investigations of heme coordination environment and rates of heme release. The results of these experiments confirmed Tyr-94 as the only axial heme ligand and Tyr-228 as making a significant contribution to the stability of heme-loaded ShuT, albeit without directly interacting with the heme iron.

Abstract
Catalase-peroxidase was purified to near homogeneity from Streptomyces sp. The enzyme was composed of two subunits with a molecular mass of 78 kDa and contained 1.05 mol of protoporphyrin IX/mol of dimeric protein. The absorption and resonance Raman spectra of the native and its cyano-enzyme were closely similar to those of other heme proteins with a histidine as the fifth ligand. However, the peak from tyrosine ring at approximately 1612 cm-1, which is unique in catalases, was not found in resonance Raman spectra of catalase-peroxidase. The electron paramagnetic resonance spectrum of the native enzyme revealed uniquely two sets of rhombic signals, which were converted to a single high spin, hexacoordinate species after the addition of sodium formate. Cyanide bound to the sixth coordination position of the heme iron, thereby converting the enzyme to a low spin, hexacoordinate species. The time-dependent inactivation of the enzyme with diethyl pyrocarbonate and its kinetic analysis strongly suggested the occurrence of histidine residue. From the above-mentioned spectroscopic results and chemical modification, it was deduced that the native enzyme is predominantly in the high spin, ferric form and has a histidine as the fifth ligand.

Abstract
Resonance Raman spectroscopy has been used to investigate the properties of cyanide-bound beef liver catalase (BLC) and Aspergillus niger catalase (ANC) in the pH range 4.9-11.5. Evidence has been obtained for the binding of cyanide to both BLC and ANC in two binding geometries. The first conformer, exhibiting the nu[Fe-CN] stretching mode at a higher frequency than the delta[Fe-C-N] bending mode, exists as an essentially linear Fe-C-N linkage. For both BLC-CN and ANC-CN, the nu[Fe-CN] and delta[Fe-C-N] frequencies of this conformer were practically identical and observed at approximately 434 and approximately 413 cm-1, respectively. The second conformer exhibits a nu[Fe-CN] mode at lower frequency than the delta[Fe-C-N] mode, and is thus characteristic of a bent Fe-C-N linkage. The nu[Fe-CN] and delta[Fe-C-N] modes were identified at 349 and 445 cm-1, respectively, for BLC-CN, and at 350 and 456 cm-1, respectively, for ANC-CN. The two conformers persist in the pH range 4.9-11.5. Furthermore, upon raising the pH to 11.5, the nu[Fe-CN] mode of the linear conformer of BLC-CN downshifts to 429 cm-1 while that of the bent conformer remains unchanged. The observed pH-dependent shift is attributed to the deprotonation of a distal-side amino acid residue, probably a distal histidine. The Fe-C-N axial vibrations of the two conformers identified for ANC-CN did not show any significant pH-dependent shifts, indicating a more stable hydrogen bonding interaction relative to BLC-CN.

Abstract
1. NADPH binds to bovine catalase and to yeast catalases A and T, but not to Escherichia coli catalase HPII. The association was demonstrated using chromatography and fluorimetry. Bound NADPH fluoresces in a similar way to NADPH in solution. 2. Bound NADPH protects bovine and yeast catalases against forming inactive peroxide compound II either via endogenous reductant action or by ferrocyanide reduction during catalytic activity in the presence of slowly generated peroxide. 3. Bound NADPH reduces neither compound I nor compound II of catalase. It apparently reacts with an intermediate formed during the decay of compound I to compound II; this postulated intermediate is an immediate precursor of stable compound II either when the latter is formed by endogenous reductants or when ferrocyanide is used. It represents therefore a new type of hydrogen donor that is not included in the original classification of Keilin and Nicholls [Keilin, D. and Nicholls, P. (1958) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 29, 302-307] 4. A model for NADPH action is presented in which concerted reduction of the ferryl iron and of a neighbouring protein free radical is responsible for the observed NADPH effects. The roles of migrant radical species in mammalian and yeast catalases are compared with similar events in metmyoglobin and cytochrome c peroxidase reactions with peroxides.

Abstract
Resonance Raman spectra are reported for the carbon monoxide (CO) adduct of catalase formed from the reaction of peracetic acid or hydrogen peroxide with the azide adduct of catalase in the presence of CO. The expected three normal vibrations of the FE-CO fragment are detected at 1,908,593 and 543 cm-1 for the nu(C-O), delta(Fe-C-O) and nu(Fe-CO), respectively. The expected coordination of the phenolate group in this adduct is confirmed by the enhancement of an internal vibration of phenolate, nu 19a at 1,515 cm-1, and an extraordinary intensity enhancement of the nu(Fe-CO) mode.
