Well-designed protein amyloid nanofibrils composites as versatile and sustainable materials for aquatic environment remediation: A review. ECO-ENVIRONMENT & HEALTH (ONLINE) 2023; 2:264-277. [PMID: 38435357 PMCID: PMC10902511 DOI: 10.1016/j.eehl.2023.09.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2023] [Revised: 09/07/2023] [Accepted: 09/08/2023] [Indexed: 03/05/2024]
Abstract
Amyloid nanofibrils (ANFs) are supramolecular polymers originally classified as pathological markers in various human degenerative diseases. However, in recent years, ANFs have garnered greater interest and are regarded as nature-based sustainable biomaterials in environmental science, material engineering, and nanotechnology. On a laboratory scale, ANFs can be produced from food proteins via protein unfolding, misfolding, and hydrolysis. Furthermore, ANFs have specific structural characteristics such as a high aspect ratio, good rigidity, chemical stability, and a controllable sequence. These properties make them a promising functional material in water decontamination research. As a result, the fabrication and application of ANFs and their composites in water purification have recently gained considerable attention. Despite the large amount of literature in this field, there is a lack of systematic review to assess the gap in using ANFs and their composites to remove contaminants from water. This review discusses significant advancements in design techniques as well as the physicochemical properties of ANFs-based composites. We also emphasize the current progress in using ANFs-based composites to remove inorganic, organic, and biological contaminants. The interaction mechanisms between ANFs-based composites and contaminants are also highlighted. Finally, we illustrate the challenges and opportunities associated with the future preparation and application of ANFs-based composites. We anticipate that this review will shed new light on the future design and use of ANFs-based composites.

Singular value decomposition analysis of the secondary structure features contributing to the circular dichroism spectra of model proteins. Biochem Biophys Rep 2021; 28:101153. [PMID: 34712848 PMCID: PMC8528683 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbrep.2021.101153] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2021] [Revised: 10/11/2021] [Accepted: 10/12/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Amyloid fibril formation occurs in restricted environment, such as the interface between intercellular fluids and bio-membranes. Conformational interconversion from α-helix to β-structure does not progress in fluids; however, it can occur after sedimentary aggregation during amyloid fibril formation induced by heat treatment of hen egg white lysozyme (HEWL). Secondary structures of various proteins and denatured proteins titrated with 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE) were examined using their CD spectra. Gaussian peak/trough and singular value decompositions (SVD) showed that the spectral pattern of the α-helix comprised a sharp trough at wavelength 207 nm and a broad trough at 220 nm. Conversely, we distinguished two patterns for β-sheet-a spread barrel type, corresponding to ConA, and a tightly weaved type, corresponding to the soybean trypsin inhibitor. Herein, we confirmed that the spectral/conformational interconversion of the heat-treated HEWL was not observed in the dissolved fluid.

Foods 2021; 10:foods10051127.

Abstract
Novel nanoparticles (NPs) were constructed with lysozyme (LY) and pectin (Ps) through self-assembly, which were used as a carrier to encapsulate epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG). The binding of EGCG and LY is a static quenching process. Hydrogen bonds might play a major role in the formation of NPs, which has also been verified by a lower binding constant of EGCG with LY/Ps NPs. Meanwhile, EGCG could lead to conformational and microenvironmental changes of LY, resulting in more folding of LY secondary structures. In addition, attaching Ps to LY might inhibit LY aggregation induced by addition of free EGCG. At the LY/Ps mass ratio of 1:1, the constructed LY/Ps NPs had a high EGCG-loading capacity without a significant change in mean particle size, thus, our NPs could be used as an effective nanocarrier for loading EGCG. In vivo, compared with free EGCG, EGCG loaded onto LY/Ps NPs significantly increased Caenorhabditis elegans’ (C. elegans) resistance to heat stress and oxidative injury and prolonged their lifespan. This study provides theoretical basis and reference for constructing nanoactive substance carriers so as to improve the resistance of organisms to heat stress and oxidative damage and to increase their survival rate and extend their lifespan under environment stresses.

Protein-protein interactions and reduced excluded volume increase dynamic binding capacity of dual salt systems in hydrophobic interaction chromatography. J Chromatogr A 2021; 1649:462231. [PMID: 34038776 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2021.462231] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2021] [Revised: 04/26/2021] [Accepted: 04/28/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
Deploying two salts in hydrophobic interaction chromatography can significantly increase dynamic binding capacities. Nevertheless, the mechanistic understanding of this phenomenon is lacking. Here, we investigate whether surface tension or ionic strength govern dynamic binding capacities of the chromatographic resin Toyopearl Butyl-650 M in dual salt systems. Small-angle X-ray scattering was employed to analyze the model proteins and the protein-resin adduct in the respective dual salt systems. The dual salt systems incorporate sodium citrate and a secondary sodium salt (acetate, sulfate, or phosphate). As model proteins, we used lysozyme, GFP, and a monoclonal antibody (adalimumab). Moreover, for the protein-resin adduct, we determined the model parameters of a self-avoiding random walk model fitted into the pair density distribution function of the SAXS data. Ionic strength is more predictive for dynamic binding capacities in HIC dual salt systems than surface tension. However, dynamic binding capacities still differ by up to 30 % between the investigated dual salt systems. The proteins exhibit extensive protein-protein interactions in the studied dual salt HIC buffers. We found a correlation of protein-protein interactions with the well-known Hofmeister series. For systems with elevated protein-protein interactions, adsorption isotherms deviate from Langmuirian behavior. This highlights the importance of lateral protein-protein interactions in protein adsorption, where monomolecular protein layers are usually assumed. SAXS analysis of the protein-resin adduct indicates an inverse correlation of the binding capacity and the excluded volume parameter. This is indicative of the deposition of proteins in the cavities of the stationary phase. We hypothesize that increasing protein-protein interactions allow the formation of attractive clusters and multilayers in the cavities, respectively.
