Abstract
In this work, a high-performance molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) sensor for the determination of β-lactoglobulin (β-LG) was fabricated by using trypsin as a template removal reagent. Gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) designed for electrode modification accelerate the heterogeneous electron transfer rate to enhance the sensitivity of the prepared sensor. With enzymatic hydrolysis, β-LG templates were effectively digested into short peptides without damage to the MIP so that the imprinted cavities of the MIP were preserved with a complete spatial structure exhibiting high selectivity. Based on the optimization of the protein removal time and pH, the prepared MIP electrochemical sensor could recognize β-LG in the range of 4-100 ng/mL with a low detection limit (3.58 ng/mL). The sensor also expressed excellent selectivity and was successfully applied to real sample detection. The results demonstrate that the proposed MIP electrochemical sensor may be a promising candidate for camel milk adulteration detection.

Abstract
Prospects for predicting the fragmentation of polypeptide chains during their enzymatic hydrolysis using proteolysis models are considered. The opening of the protein substrate during proteolysis and the exposure of its internal peptide bonds for a successful enzymatic attack, the so-called demasking process, were taken into account. The two-step proteolysis model was used, including the parameters of demasking and the rate constants of hydrolysis of enzyme-specific peptide bonds. Herein, we have presented an algorithm for calculating the concentrations of intermediate and final peptide fragments depending on the time of hydrolysis or the degree of hydrolysis. The intermediate peptide fragments with two or one internal specific peptide bond were considered. The fragmentation of β-lactoglobulin (β-LG) by trypsin was predicted, and the calculated concentration curves for peptide fragments were compared with the experimental dependences of the concentrations on the degree of hydrolysis. Numerical parameters were proposed that characterize the concentration curves for intermediate and final peptide fragments, and they were used to compare the calculated and experimental dependences. The predicted distribution of the peptide fragments corresponded to the experimental data on the peptide release during the proteolysis of β-LG by trypsin.

Abstract
The opening of protein substrates during degradation by proteases and the corresponding exposure of their internal peptide bonds for a successful enzymatic attack, the so-called demasking effect, was studied for β-lactoglobulin (β-LG) and β-casein (β-CN) hydrolyzed by trypsin. Demasking was estimated by monitoring the redshift in intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence, characterizing the accessibility of polypeptide chains to aqueous medium. The secondary masking of intermediate polypeptides, giving an inverse effect to demasking, caused a restriction of the substrate opening. This led to the limitations in the red shift of fluorescence and the degree of hydrolysis with a long time of hydrolysis of β-LG and β-CN at a constant substrate concentration and reduced trypsin concentrations. The proposed proteolysis model included demasking of initially masked bonds in the protein globule or micelle, secondary masking of intermediate polypeptides, and their subsequent slow demasking. The hydrolysis of peptide bonds was modeled taking into account different hydrolysis rate constants for different peptide bonds. It was demonstrated that demasking competes with secondary masking, which is less noticeable at high trypsin concentrations. Modeling of proteolysis taking into account two demasking processes and secondary masking made it possible to simulate kinetic curves consistent with the experimental data.

Development of a multidimensional online method for the characterization and quantification of monoclonal antibodies using immobilized flow-through enzyme reactors. Anal Bioanal Chem 2021; 413:7119-7128. [PMID: 34628527 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-021-03683-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2021] [Revised: 09/14/2021] [Accepted: 09/20/2021] [Indexed: 01/06/2023]
Abstract
Complete characterization and quantification of monoclonal antibodies often rely on enzymatic digestion with trypsin. In order to accelerate and automate this frequently performed sample preparation step, immobilized enzyme reactors (IMER) compatible with standard HPLC systems were used. This allows an automated online approach in all analytical laboratories. We were able to demonstrate that the required digestion time for the model monoclonal antibody rituximab could be reduced to 20 min. Nevertheless, a previous denaturation of the protein is required, which also needs 20 min. Recoveries were determined at various concentrations and were 100% ± 1% at 100 ng on column, 96% ± 7% at 250 ng on column and 98% ± 2% at 450 ng on column. Despite these good recoveries, complete digestion was not achieved, resulting in a poorer limit of quantification. This is 50 ng on column under optimized IMER conditions, whereas an offline digest on the same system achieved 0.3 ng on column. Furthermore, our work revealed that TRIS buffers, when used with an IMER system, led to alteration of the peptides and induced modifications in the peptides. Therefore, the addition of TRIS should be avoided when working at elevated temperatures of about 60 °C. Nevertheless, our results have shown that the recovery is not significantly influenced whether TRIS is used or not (recovery: 96 ± 7% with TRIS vs. 100 ± 9% without TRIS).

Abstract
The application of monolithic materials as carriers for enzymes has rapidly expanded to the realization of flow-through analysis and bioconversion processes. This expansion is partly attributed to the absence from diffusion limitation in many monoliths-based enzyme reactors. Particularly, the relatively ease of introducing functional groups renders polymer monoliths attractive as enzyme carriers. After summarizing the motivation to develop enzymatic reactors using polymer monoliths, this review reports the most recent applications of such reactors. Besides, the present review focuses on the crucial characteristics of polymer monoliths affecting the immobilization of enzymes and the processing parameters dictating the performance of the resulting enzymatic reactors. This review is intended to provide a guideline for designing and applying flow-through enzymatic reactors using polymer monoliths.

Tryptophan Fluorescence and Time-Lag Hydrolysis of Peptide Bonds during Degradation of β-Lactoglobulin by Trypsin. Catalysts 2020.

Abstract
The opening of protein globules and corresponding exposure of their internal peptide bonds, the so-called demasking effect, is required for successful hydrolysis of peptide bonds by proteases. Under the proteolytic action of trypsin on β-lactoglobulin (β-LG), the evolution of tryptophan fluorescence spectra showed that the demasking process consists of two stages with different demasking rate constants for each stage. It was found that the ratio of these constants depends on the concentration of trypsin and changes are approximately threefold when the concentration of trypsin changes in the range of 0.3–15 mg/L. Simulation of hydrolysis taking into account the demasking effect demonstrated how the apparent first-order rate constants obtained experimentally are related to the true hydrolysis rate constants and demasking parameters. The lag phase in the kinetic curves corresponding to the hydrolysis of various peptide bonds in β-LG was also analyzed. The increased lag times indicated sites that are hydrolyzed by a two-stage demasking mechanism.
