[PMID: 39223625 PMCID: PMC11370004 DOI: 10.1186/s12967-024-05631-8] [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: 06/14/2024] [Accepted: 08/18/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Breast cancer, with its high morbidity and mortality rates, is a significant global health burden. Traditional treatments-surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy-are widely used but come with drawbacks such as recurrence, metastasis, and significant side effects, including damage to healthy tissues. To address these limitations, new therapeutic strategies are being developed. Peroxidases (POD) can catalyze excess H2O2 in the tumor microenvironment to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), which induce cancer cell apoptosis by disrupting redox homeostasis and modulating apoptosis-related proteins. However, natural enzymes face challenges like poor stability, high cost, and sensitivity to environmental conditions, limiting their application in breast cancer treatment. Nanozymes, nanomaterials with enzyme-like activity, offer a promising alternative by overcoming these limitations. METHODS In this study, we successfully prepared Au@Pd nanozymes with peroxidase activity by depositing metallic Pd on Au nanoparticles (Au NPs) synthesized using a trisodium citrate reduction method and ascorbic acid reduction. The in vitro validation was conducted through a series of experiments, including ROS detection, flow cytometry, CCK-8 assay, DNA damage assessment, live/dead cell staining, Western blot (WB), and qPCR. Tumor treatment was performed via tail vein injection of the drug, followed by HE staining of the treated tissues and biochemical analysis of the blood. RESULTS Au@Pd nanozymes can effectively accumulate at the tumor site through the EPR effect and exert peroxidase-like activity, catalyzing the excess H2O2 in the tumor microenvironment to produce ROS. This triggers apoptosis pathways and DNA damage, leading to the downregulation of the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2, upregulation of the pro-apoptotic protein Bax, and induction of apoptosis-related genes, demonstrating strong anti-tumor effects. CONCLUSIONS This study developed an efficient nanozyme-mediated catalytic therapy strategy targeting the tumor microenvironment for the treatment of breast cancer cells.

Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 279:135154. [PMID: 39214212 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.135154] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2024] [Revised: 08/27/2024] [Accepted: 08/27/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024]
Abstract
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have drawn a lot of attention from a variety of fields, particularly the biological and biomedical sciences. As a result, it is acknowledged that AgNPs' direct interactions with macromolecules such as DNA, proteins, and enzymes are essential for both therapeutic and nanotoxicological applications. Enzymes as important catalysts may interact with AgNP surfaces in a variety of ways. Therefore, mechanistic investigation into the molecular effects of AgNPs on enzyme conformation and function is necessary for a comprehensive assessment of their interactions. In this overview, we aimed to overview the various strategies for producing AgNPs. We then discussed the enzyme activity inhibition (EAI) mechanism by nanostructured particles, followed by an in-depth survey of the interaction of AgNPs with different enzymes. Furthermore, various parameters influencing the interaction of NPs and enzymes, as well as the antibacterial and anticancer effects of AgNPs in the context of the enzyme inhibitors, were discussed. In summary, useful information regarding the biological safety and possible therapeutic applications of AgNPs-enzyme conjugates may be obtained from this review.

Abstract
The immobilization of biocatalysts on inorganic supports allows the development of bio-nanohybrid materials with defined functional properties. Gold nanomaterials (AuNMs) are the main players in this field, due to their fascinating shape-dependent properties that account for their versatility. Even though incredible progress has been made in the preparation of AuNMs, few studies have been carried out to analyze the impact of particle morphology on the behavior of immobilized biocatalysts. Herein, the artificial peroxidase Fe(iii)-Mimochrome VI*a (FeMC6*a) was conjugated to two different anisotropic gold nanomaterials, nanorods (AuNRs) and triangular nanoprisms (AuNTs), to investigate how the properties of the nanosupport can affect the functional behavior of FeMC6*a. The conjugation of FeMC6*a to AuNMs was performed by a click-chemistry approach, using FeMC6*a modified with pegylated aza-dibenzocyclooctyne (FeMC6*a-PEG4@DBCO), which was allowed to react with azide-functionalized AuNRs and AuNTs, synthesized from citrate-capped AuNMs. To this end, a literature protocol for depleting CTAB from AuNRs was herein reported for the first time to prepare citrate-AuNTs. The overall results suggest that the nanomaterial shape influences the nanoconjugate functional properties. Besides giving new insights into the effect of the surfaces on the artificial peroxidase properties, these results open up the way for creating novel nanostructures with potential applications in the field of sensing devices.

Abstract
This study investigated the effectiveness of nanoparticles and chemical inducers in managing onion white rot caused by Sclerotium cepivorum. The pathogen severely threatens onion cultivation, resulting in significant yield losses and economic setbacks. Traditional fungicides, though effective, raise environmental concerns, prompting a shift toward eco-friendly alternatives. In this study, four S. cepivorum isolates were utilized, each exhibiting varying degrees of pathogenicity, with the third isolate from Abu-Hamad demonstrating the highest potency. During the in vitro studies, three nanoparticles (NPs) were investigated, including Fe3O4 NPs, Cu NPs, and ZnO NPs, which demonstrated the potential to inhibit mycelial growth, with salicylic acid and Fe3O4 NPs exhibiting synergistic effects. In vivo, these nanoparticles reduced the disease incidence and severity, with Fe3O4 NPs at 1000-1400 ppm resulting in 65.0-80.0% incidence and 80.0-90.0% severity. ZnO NPs had the most positive impact on the chlorophyll content, while Cu NPs had minimal effects. At 1000 ppm, Fe3O4 NPs had variable effects on the phenolic compounds (total: 6.28, free: 4.81, related: 2.59), while ZnO NPs caused minor fluctuations (total: 3.60, free: 1.82, related: 1.73). For the chemical inducers, salicylic acid reduced the disease (10.0% incidence, 25.0% to 10.0% severity) and promoted growth, and it elevated the chlorophyll values and enhanced the phenolic compounds in infected onions. Potassium phosphate dibasic (PDP) had mixed effects, and ascorbic acid showed limited efficacy toward disease reduction. However, PDP at 1400 ppm and ascorbic acid at 1000 ppm elevated the chlorophyll values and enhanced the phenolic compounds. Furthermore, this study extended to traditional fungicides, highlighting their inhibitory effects on S. cepivorum. This research provides a comprehensive comparative analysis of these approaches, emphasizing their potential in eco-friendly onion white rot management.

Abstract
Nanostructures have played a key role in the development of different techniques to attack severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Some applications include masks, vaccines, and biosensors. The latter are of great interest for detecting diseases since some of their features allowed us to find specific markers in secretion samples such as saliva, blood, and even tears. Herein, we highlight how hierarchical nanoparticles integrated into two or more low-dimensional materials present outstanding advantages that are attractive for photonic biosensing using their nanoscale functions. The potential of nanohybrids with their superlative mechanical characteristics together with their optical and optoelectronic properties is discussed. The progress in the scientific research focused on using nanoparticles for biosensing a variety of viruses has become a medical milestone in recent years, and has laid the groundwork for future disease treatments. This perspective analyzes the crucial information about the use of hierarchical nanostructures in biosensing for the prevention, treatment, and mitigation of SARS-CoV-2 effects.

Abstract
A nanozyme is a nanoscale material having enzyme-like properties. It exhibits several superior properties, including low preparation cost, robust catalytic activity, and long-term storage at ambient temperatures. Moreover, high stability enables repetitive use in multiple catalytic reactions. Hence, it is considered a potential replacement for natural enzymes. Enormous research interest in nanozymes in the past two decades has made it imperative to look for better enzyme-mimicking materials for biomedical applications. Given this, research on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as a potential nanozyme material has gained momentum. MOFs are advanced hybrid materials made of inorganic metal ions and organic ligands. Their distinct composition, adaptable pore size, structural diversity, and ease in the tunability of physicochemical properties enable MOFs to mimic enzyme-like activities and act as promising nanozyme candidates. This review aims to discuss recent advances in the development of MOF-based nanozymes (MOF-NZs) and highlight their applications in the field of biomedicine. Firstly, different enzyme-mimetic activities exhibited by MOFs are discussed, and insights are given into various strategies to achieve them. Modification and functionalization strategies are deliberated to obtain MOF-NZs with enhanced catalytic activity. Subsequently, applications of MOF-NZs in the biosensing and therapeutics domain are discussed. Finally, the review is concluded by giving insights into the challenges encountered with MOF-NZs and possible directions to overcome them in the future. With this review, we aim to encourage consolidated efforts across enzyme engineering, nanotechnology, materials science, and biomedicine disciplines to inspire exciting innovations in this emerging yet promising field.

Abstract
Carbon nanomaterials (CNMs), including carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene, and nanodiamonds (NDs), have shown great promise in detecting and treating numerous cancers, including kidney cancer. CNMs can increase the sensitivity of diagnostic techniques for better kidney cancer identification and surveillance. They enable targeted medicine delivery specifically to tumour locations, with little effect on healthy tissue. Because of their unique chemical and physical characteristics, they can avoid the body's defence mechanisms, making it easier to accumulate where tumours exist. Consequently, CNMs provide more effective drug delivery to kidney cancer cells. It also helps in improving the efficacy of treatment. This review explores the potential of several CNMs in improving therapeutic strategies for kidney cancer. We briefly covered the physicochemical properties and therapeutic applications of CNMs. Additionally, we discussed how structural modifications in CNMs enhance their precision in treating renal cancer. A thorough overview of CNM-based gene, peptide, and drug delivery strategies for the treatment of renal cancer is presented in this review. It covers information on other CNM-based therapeutic approaches, such as hyperthermia, photodynamic therapy, and photoacoustic therapy. Also, the interactions of CNMs with the tumour microenvironment (TME) are explored, including modulation of the immune response, regulation of tumour hypoxia, interactions between CNMs and TME cells, effects of TME pH on CNMs, and more. Finally, potential side effects of CNMs, such as toxicity, bio corona formation, enzymatic degradation, and biocompatibility, are also discussed.

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus is an aerobic Gram-positive spherical bacterium known to cause a broad range of infections worldwide. It is a major cause of infective skin and soft infections and severe and life-threatening conditions, such as pneumonia, bloodstream infections, and endocarditis. The emergence of drug-resistant strains of S aureus, particularly methicillin-resistant S aureus (MRSA), has become a significant concern in the healthcare community. Antibiotic-resistant S aureus is commonly acquired in hospitals and long-term care facilities. It often affects patients with weakened immune systems, those undergoing invasive medical procedures, or those who have been hospitalized for extended periods. In the US, S aureus is known to cause potentially fatal illnesses, such as toxic shock syndrome (TSS) and acute-onset toxic shock syndrome (TSS), which are characterized by fever and hypotension. It develops resistance to antibiotics through several mechanisms, such as the production of enzymes that inactivate antibiotics, target site modification, efflux pumps, and plasmid-mediated resistance. Therefore, preventing the spread of drug-resistant S aureus is needed, and there is an urgent need to explore novel approaches in the development of anti-staphylococcal agents. This article reviews the principal infections caused by S aureus, major virulence factors, mechanisms of resistance development, and nanotechnology-based solutions for the control of drug-resistant S aureus.

Abstract
With the promising advances in nanomedicine, numerous strategies have emerged for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Among them, enzyme-based multifunctional nanocomposites have attracted a great deal of attention in the field of catalytic biomedicine. These nanocomposites with high catalytic activity are capable of converting low/non-toxic substances into therapeutic ones, thus realizing highly efficient, site-specific therapy with minimal side effects. Enzyme-based nanocomposites for catalytic biomedicine are mainly divided into three types: (i) natural-enzyme based nanocomposites; (ii) artificial-nanozyme based nanocomposites; and (iii) nanocomposites of natural-enzymes and nanozymes. In this review, we discuss key aspects of enzyme-based catalytic biomedicine, including the construction of enzyme-based nanocomposites, their unique properties and applications in catalytic biomedicine. We also highlight the main challenges faced in this field, and provide relevant guidelines for the rational design and extensive application of enzyme-based nanocomposites from our point of view.

Abstract
Oxidase and peroxidase enzymes have attracted attention in various biotechnological industries due to their ease of synthesis, wide range of applications, and operation under mild conditions. Their applicability, however, is limited by their poor stability in harsher conditions and their non-reusability. As a result, several approaches such as enzyme engineering, medium engineering, and enzyme immobilization have been used to improve the enzyme properties. Several materials have been used as supports for these enzymes to increase their stability and reusability. This review focusses on the immobilization of oxidase and peroxidase enzymes on metal and metal oxide nanoparticle-polymer composite supports and the different methods used to achieve the immobilization. The application of the enzyme-metal/metal oxide-polymer biocatalysts in biosensing of hydrogen peroxide, glucose, pesticides, and herbicides as well as blood components such as cholesterol, urea, dopamine, and xanthine have been extensively reviewed. The application of the biocatalysts in wastewater treatment through degradation of dyes, pesticides, and other organic compounds has also been discussed.

Abstract
The colorimetric signal readout method is widely used in visualized analyses for its advantages, including visualization of test results, simple and fast operations, low detection cost and fast response time. Gold nanoparticles (Au NPs), which not only exhibit enzyme-like activity but also have the advantages of tunable localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), high stability, good biocompatibility and easily modified properties, provide excellent platforms for the construction of colorimetric sensors. They are widely used in environmental monitoring, biomedicine, the food industry and other fields. This review focuses on the chromogenic mechanisms of colorimetric sensors based on Au NPs adopting two different sensing strategies and summarizes significant advances in Au NP-based colorimetric sensing with enzyme-like activity and tunable LSPR characteristics. In addition, the sensing strategies based on the LSPR properties of Au NPs are classified into four modulation methods: aggregation, surface modification, deposition and etching, and the current status of visual detection of various analytes is discussed. Finally, the review further discusses the limitations of current Au NP-based detection strategies and the promising prospects of Au NPs as colorimetric sensors, guiding the design of novel colorimetric sensors.

Abstract
Although studies have investigated the effects of metal-based nanoparticles (MNPs) on soil biogeochemical processes, the results obtained thus far are highly variable. Moreover, we do not yet understand how the impact of MNPs is affected by experimental design and environmental conditions. Herein, we conducted a global analysis to synthesize the effects of MNPs on 17 variables associated with soil nitrogen (N) cycling from 62 studies. Our results showed that MNPs generally exerted inhibitory effects on N-cycling process rates, N-related enzyme activities, and microbial variables. The response of soil N cycling varied with MNP type, and exposure dose was the most decisive factor for the variations in the responses of N-cycling process rates and enzyme activities. Notably, Ag/Ag2 S and CuO had dose-dependent inhibitory effects on ammonia oxidation rates, while CuO and Zn/ZnO showed hormetic effects on nitrification and denitrification rates, respectively. Other experimental design factors (e.g., MNP size and exposure duration) also regulated the effect of MNPs on soil N cycling, and specific MNPs, such as Ag/Ag2 S, exerted stronger effects during long-term (>28 days) exposure. Environmental conditions, including soil pH, organic carbon, texture, and presence/absence of plants, significantly influenced MNP toxicity. For instance, the effects of Ag/Ag2 S on the ammonia oxidation rate and the activity of leucine aminopeptidase were more potent in acid (pH <6), organic matter-limited (organic carbon content ≤10 g kg-1 ), and coarser soils. Overall, these results provide new insights into the general mechanisms by which MNPs alter soil N processes in different environments and underscore the urgent need to perform multivariate and long-term in situ trials in simulated natural environments.

Abstract
Particle size might affect the inhibition behaviors of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) on enzyme activity by influencing the density of binding sites (ρ), the association constant (Ka), the steric hindrance of enzymes by AuNPs, the binding orientations of the enzyme on AuNPs, as well as the structural changes of enzymes. In previous studies, the effects of the above-mentioned factors, which could not be ignored in the applications of enzymatic electrochemistry, were often overshadowed by the effects of surface area. In order to study the size effect on the inhibition types and inhibitory ability of enzymes by AuNPs, we investigated the inhibition behaviors of chymotrypsin (ChT) by AuNPs with three different sizes (D1-AuNCs, D3-AuNPs, and D6-AuNPs) under the same surface area concentration. The results showed that both of the inhibition types and the inhibition ability varied with the particle size of AuNPs. D1-AuNCs inhibited ChT noncompetitively, while D3/D6-AuNPs inhibited ChT competitively. Contrary to the common sense, D6-AuNPs showed a weaker inhibitory ability than D3-AuNPs. By means of zeta potential, agarose gel electrophoresis, isothermal titration calorimetry, synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy, and circular dichroism, the mechanism of the weak inhibitory ability of D6-AuNPs was found to be the standing binding orientation caused by the small curvature. This work had certain guiding significance for the biosafety of AuNPs, the development of nanoinhibitors, as well as the applications of AuNPs in enzymatic electrochemistry.

Abstract
Electrochemistry is a genuinely interdisciplinary science that may be used in various physical, chemical, and biological domains. Moreover, using biosensors to quantify biological or biochemical processes is critical in medical, biological, and biotechnological applications. Nowadays, there are several electrochemical biosensors for various healthcare applications, such as for the determination of glucose, lactate, catecholamines, nucleic acid, uric acid, and so on. Enzyme-based analytical techniques rely on detecting the co-substrate or, more precisely, the products of a catalyzed reaction. The glucose oxidase enzyme is generally used in enzyme-based biosensors to measure glucose in tears, blood, etc. Moreover, among all nanomaterials, carbon-based nanomaterials have generally been utilized thanks to the unique properties of carbon. The sensitivity can be up to pM levels using enzyme-based nanobiosensor, and these sensors are very selective, as all enzymes are specific for their substrates. Furthermore, enzyme-based biosensors frequently have fast reaction times, allowing for real-time monitoring and analyses. These biosensors, however, have several drawbacks. Changes in temperature, pH, and other environmental factors can influence the stability and activity of the enzymes, affecting the reliability and repeatability of the readings. Additionally, the cost of the enzymes and their immobilization onto appropriate transducer surfaces might be prohibitively expensive, impeding the large-scale commercialization and widespread use of biosensors. This review discusses the design, detection, and immobilization techniques for enzyme-based electrochemical nanobiosensors, and recent applications in enzyme-based electrochemical studies are evaluated and tabulated.

Abstract
This work presents a new approach for the development of field-effect biosensors based on an electrolyte-insulator-semiconductor capacitor (EISCAP) modified with a stacked bilayer of weak polyelectrolyte and tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) particles as enzyme nanocarriers. With the aim to increase the surface density of virus particles and thus, to achieve a dense immobilization of enzymes, the negatively charged TMV particles were loaded onto the EISCAP surface modified with a positively charged poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) layer. The PAH/TMV bilayer was prepared on the Ta2O5-gate surface by means of layer-by-layer technique. The bare and differently modified EISCAP surfaces were physically characterized by fluorescence microscopy, zeta-potential measurements, atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Transmission electron microscopy was used to scrutinize the PAH effect on TMV adsorption in a second system. Finally, a highly sensitive TMV-assisted EISCAP antibiotics biosensor was realized by immobilizing the enzyme penicillinase onto the TMV surface. This PAH/TMV bilayer-modified EISCAP biosensor was electrochemically characterized in solutions with different penicillin concentrations via capacitance-voltage and constant-capacitance methods. The biosensor possessed a mean penicillin sensitivity of 113 mV/dec in a concentration range from 0.1 mM to 5 mM.

Abstract
The synergistic combination of current biotechnological and nanotechnological research has turned to multienzyme co-immobilization as a promising concept to design biocatalysis engineering. It has also intensified the development and deployment of multipurpose biocatalysts, for instance, multienzyme co-immobilized constructs, via biocatalysis/protein engineering to scale-up and fulfil the ever-increasing industrial demands. Considering the characteristic features of both the loaded multienzymes and nanostructure carriers, i.e., selectivity, specificity, stability, resistivity, induce activity, reaction efficacy, multi-usability, high catalytic turnover, optimal yield, ease in recovery, and cost-effectiveness, multienzyme-based green biocatalysts have become a powerful norm in biocatalysis/protein engineering sectors. In this context, the current state-of-the-art in enzyme engineering with a synergistic combination of nanotechnology, at large, and nanomaterials, in particular, are significantly contributing and providing robust tools to engineer and/or tailor enzymes to fulfil the growing catalytic and contemporary industrial needs. Considering the above critics and unique structural, physicochemical, and functional attributes, herein, we spotlight important aspects spanning across prospective nano-carriers for multienzyme co-immobilization. Further, this work comprehensively discuss the current advances in deploying multienzyme-based cascade reactions in numerous sectors, including environmental remediation and protection, drug delivery systems (DDS), biofuel cells development and energy production, bio-electroanalytical devices (biosensors), therapeutical, nutraceutical, cosmeceutical, and pharmaceutical oriented applications. In conclusion, the continuous developments in nano-assembling the multienzyme loaded co-immobilized nanostructure carriers would be a unique way that could act as a core of modern biotechnological research.

Abstract
In recent decades, enzyme-based biocatalytic systems have garnered increasing interest in industrial and applied research for catalysis and organic chemistry. Many enzymatic reactions have been applied to sustainable and environmentally friendly production processes, particularly in the pharmaceutical, fine chemicals, and flavor/fragrance industries. However, only a fraction of the enzymes available has been stepped up towards industrial-scale manufacturing due to low enzyme stability and challenging separation, recovery, and reusability. In this context, immobilization and co-immobilization in robust support materials have emerged as valuable strategies to overcome these inadequacies by facilitating repeated or continuous batch operations and downstream processes. To further reduce separations, it can be advantageous to use multiple enzymes at once in one pot. Enzyme co-immobilization enables biocatalytic synergism and reusability, boosting process efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Several studies on multi-enzyme immobilization and co-localization propose kinetic advantages of the enhanced turnover number for multiple enzymes. This review spotlights recent progress in developing versatile biocatalytic cascade systems by multi-enzyme co-immobilization on environmentally friendly biopolymers and nanostructured materials and their application scope in the chemical and biotechnological industries. After a succinct overview of carrier-based and carrier-free immobilization/co-immobilizations, co-immobilization of enzymes on a range of biopolymer and nanomaterials-based supports is thoroughly compiled with contemporary and state-of-the-art examples. This study provides a new horizon in developing effective and innovative multi-enzymatic systems with new possibilities to fully harness the adventure of biocatalytic systems.

Abstract
Carbon-based nanomaterials (CNMs) have attracted a growing interest over the last decades. They have become a material commonly used in industry, consumer products, water purification, and medicine. Despite this, the safety and toxic properties of different types of CNMs are still debatable. Multiple studies in recent years highlight the toxicity of CNMs in relation to aquatic organisms, including bacteria, microalgae, bivalves, sea urchins, and other species. However, the aspects that have significant influence on the toxic properties of CNMs in the aquatic environment are often not considered in research works and require further study. In this work, we summarized the current knowledge of colloidal behavior, transformation, and biodegradation of different types of CNMs, including graphene and graphene-related materials, carbon nanotubes, fullerenes, and carbon quantum dots. The other part of this work represents an overview of the known mechanisms of CNMs' biodegradation and discusses current research works relating to the biodegradation of CNMs in aquatic species. The knowledge about the biodegradation of nanomaterials will facilitate the development of the principals of "biodegradable-by-design" nanoparticles which have promising application in medicine as nano-carriers and represent lower toxicity and risks for living species and the environment.

Abstract
Achieving fast electron transfer process between oxidoreductase and electrodes is pivotal for the biocathode of enzymatic biofuel cells (EBFCs). However, in-depth understanding of the interplay mechanism between enzymes and electrode materials remains challenging when designing and constructing EBFCs. Herein, atomic-scale insight into the direct electron transfer (DET) behavior of Thermus thermophilus laccase (TtLac) with a special methionine-rich β-hairpin motif adsorbed on the carboxyl-functionalized carbon nanotube (COOH-CNT) and amino-functionalized carbon nanotube (NH2-CNT) surfaces were disclosed by multi-scale molecular simulations. Simulation results reveal that electrostatic modification is an effective way to tune the DET behavior for TtLac on the modified-CNTs electrode surface. Surprisingly, the positively charged TtLac can be attracted by both negatively charged COOH-CNT and positively charged NH2-CNT surfaces, yet only the latter is capable to trigger the DET process due to the 'lying-on' adsorption orientation. Specifically, the T1 copper site is near the methionine-rich β-hairpin motif, which is the key binding site for TtLac binding onto the NH2-CNT surface via electrostatic interaction, π-π stacking and cation-π interaction. Moreover, TtLac on the NH2-CNT surface undergoes less conformational changes than those on the COOH-CNT surface, which allows the laccase stability and catalytic efficiency to be well preserved. These findings provide a fundamental guidance for future design and fabrication of methionine-rich laccase-based EBFCs with high power output and long lifespan.

As The effect of iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) on the anaerobic co-digestion (AD) of olive mill wastewater and chicken manure was investigated. In mesophilic conditions, biogas yield, methane (CH4) content, the removal efficiency of TS, VS., acidification and hydrolysis percentage, and contaminant removal efficiency were investigated. Supplementing AD with IONPs at a concentration of 20 mg/g VS. > IONPs and INOPs >30 mg/g VS. causes an inhibitor impact on biogas, methane generation, and hydrolysis. Furthermore, implantation with 20–30 mg of IONPs/kg VS. has induced an equivalent favorable impact, with hydrolysis percentages reaching roughly 7.2%–15.1% compared to the control test, in addition to a 1.3%–4.2% enhancement in methane generation yield. The maximum acidification concentration after five days of the incubation of 1,084, 9,463, and 760 g/L was attained with IONPs dosages of 25, 30, and 20 mg/g VS., respectively, compared to 713 g/L obtained with the control test. The results have illustrated that supplementing AD with a specific concentration of IONPs (20–30 mg/g VS.) has a significant effect and enhances the inhibitor removal efficiency, most possibly due to the small surface area of IONP particles. The resultant increase in the active surface area enhances the enzyme diffusion within the substrate. This study provides new data specifying the enhancement of iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) and identifies the impact of IONP doses at various concentrations on the AD of olive mill wastewater and chicken waste.

Immobilized enzyme/microorganism complexes for degradation of microplastics: A review of recent advances, feasibility and future prospects. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 832:154868. [PMID: 35358520 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.154868] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2021] [Revised: 03/23/2022] [Accepted: 03/23/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Environmental prevalence of microplastics has prompted the development of novel methods for their removal, one of which involves immobilization of microplastics-degrading enzymes. Various materials including nanomaterials have been studied for this purpose but there is currently a lack of review to present these studies in an organized manner to highlight the advances and feasibility. This article reviewed more than 100 peer-reviewed scholarly papers to elucidate the latest advances in the novel application of immobilized enzyme/microorganism complexes for microplastics degradation, its feasibility and future prospects. This review shows that metal nanoparticle-enzyme complexes improve biodegradation of microplastics in most studies through creating photogenerated radicals to facilitate polymer oxidation, accelerating growth of bacterial consortia for biodegradation, anchoring enzymes and improving their stability, and absorbing water for hydrolysis. In a study, the antimicrobial property of nanoparticles retarded the growth of microorganisms, hence biodegradation. Carbon particle-enzyme complexes enable enzymes to be immobilized on carbon-based support or matrix through covalent bonding, adsorption, entrapment, encapsulation, and a combination of the mechanisms, facilitated by formation of cross-links between enzymes. These complexes were shown to improve microplastics-degrading efficiency and recyclability of enzymes. Other emerging nanoparticles and/or enzymatic technologies are fusion of enzymes with hydrophobins, polymer binding module, peptide and novel nanoparticles. Nonetheless, the enzymes in the complexes present a limiting factor due to limited understanding of the degradation mechanisms. Besides, there is a lack of studies on the degradation of polypropylene and polyvinyl chloride. Genetic bioengineering and metagenomics could provide breakthrough in this area. This review highlights the optimism of using immobilized enzymes/microorganisms to increase the efficiency of microplastics degradation but optimization of enzymatic or microbial activities and synthesis of immobilized enzymes/microorganisms are crucial to overcome the barriers to their wide application.

Abstract
Single-atom catalysts (SACs) have been applied in various fields as they display extremely high utilization efficiency of catalytic sites. A majority of SACs prepared by high-temperature calcination suffer from poor water dispersion and lose of labelling groups. Herein cobalt SACs (CSACs) were synthesized with a solvothermal method by adopting hybridized MOFs Fe2O3/MIL-100(Fe) as the carriers to load cobalt atoms. Compared with original MOFs MIL-100(Fe), the carriers possess superior loading capacity, and the loading amount of cobalt element is up to 4.69 wt%. The implantation of cobalt atoms in hybridized MOFs Fe2O3/MIL-100(Fe) vastly improved the specific surface of the carriers for 68 times. CSACs at 1.0 μg mL-1 can catalyze H2O2 to generate numerous reactive oxygen species and enormously boost the chemiluminescent emission of luminol-H2O2 system up to 2297 times. The CSACs also exhibit satisfactory dispersion in aqueous medium. Benefiting from these attracting features, the CSACs were applied as sensitive signal probes for detecting carbendazim in Chinese medicinal herbs with a chemiluminescent immunoassay method. The dynamic range is 10 pg mL-1 - 50 ng mL-1 and the limit of detection is 1.8 pg mL-1. The proof-of-principle work paves a pathway to the exploitation of SACs as sensitive probes for tracing biological recognition events.

Abstract
Nanoparticles are recognized as highly attractive tunable materials for designing field-effect biosensors with enhanced performance. In this work, we present a theoretical model for electrolyte-insulator-semiconductor capacitors (EISCAP) decorated with ligand-stabilized charged gold nanoparticles. The charged AuNPs are taken into account as additional, nanometer-sized local gates. The capacitance-voltage (C–V) curves and constant-capacitance (ConCap) signals of the AuNP-decorated EISCAPs have been simulated. The impact of the AuNP coverage on the shift of the C–V curves and the ConCap signals was also studied experimentally on Al–p-Si–SiO2 EISCAPs decorated with positively charged aminooctanethiol-capped AuNPs. In addition, the surface of the EISCAPs, modified with AuNPs, was characterized by scanning electron microscopy for different immobilization times of the nanoparticles.

Abstract
AbstractSpatiotemporal control of chemical cascade reactions within compartmentalized domains is one of the difficult challenges to achieve. To implement such control, scientists have been working on the development of various artificial compartmentalized systems such as liposomes, vesicles, polymersomes, etc. Although a considerable amount of progress has been made in this direction, one still needs to develop alternative strategies for controlling cascade reaction networks within spatiotemporally controlled domains in a solution, which remains a non-trivial issue. Herein, we present the utilization of audible sound induced liquid vibrations for the generation of transient domains in an aqueous medium, which can be used for the control of cascade chemical reactions in a spatiotemporal fashion. This approach gives us access to highly reproducible spatiotemporal chemical gradients and patterns, in situ growth and aggregation of gold nanoparticles at predetermined locations or domains formed in a solution. Our strategy also gives us access to nanoparticle patterned hydrogels and their applications for region specific cell growth.

Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) is considered a toxic heavy metal; nevertheless, its toxicity fluctuates for different organisms. Cadmium-tolerant bacteria (CdtB) are diverse and non-phylogenetically related. Because of their ecological importance these bacteria become particularly relevant when pollution occurs and where human health is impacted. The aim of this review is to show the significance, culturable diversity, metabolic detoxification mechanisms of CdtB and their current uses in several bioremediation processes applied to agricultural soils. Further discussion addressed the technological devices and the possible advantages of genetically modified CdtB for diagnostic purposes in the future.

Abstract
Immobilized enzyme-based catalytic constructs could greatly improve various industrial processes due to their extraordinary catalytic activity and reaction specificity. In recent decades, nano-enzymes, defined as enzyme immobilized on nanomaterials, gained popularity for the enzymes' improved stability, reusability, and ease of separation from the biocatalytic process. Thus, enzymes can be strategically incorporated into nanostructured materials to engineer nano-enzymes, such as nanoporous particles, nanofibers, nanoflowers, nanogels, nanomembranes, metal-organic frameworks, multi-walled or single-walled carbon nanotubes, and nanoparticles with tuned shape and size. Surface-area-to-volume ratio, pore-volume, chemical compositions, electrical charge or conductivity of nanomaterials, protein charge, hydrophobicity, and amino acid composition on protein surface play fundamental roles in the nano-enzyme preparation and catalytic properties. With proper understanding, the optimization of the above-mentioned factors will lead to favorable micro-environments for biocatalysts of industrial relevance. Thus, the application of nano-enzymes promise to further strengthen the advances in catalysis, biotransformation, biosensing, and biomarker discovery. Herein, this review article spotlights recent progress in nano-enzyme development and their possible implementation in different areas, including biomedicine, biosensors, bioremediation of industrial pollutants, biofuel production, textile, leather, detergent, food industries and antifouling.

Abstract
Careful assessment of the biological fate and immune response of inorganic nanoparticles is crucial for use of such carriers in drug delivery and other biomedical applications. Many studies have elucidated the cellular and molecular mechanisms of the interaction of inorganic nanoparticles with the components of the immune system. The biodegradation and dissolution of inorganic nanoparticles can influence their ensuing immune response. While the immunological properties of inorganic nanoparticles as a function of their physicochemical properties have been investigated in detail, little attention has been paid to the immune adverse effects towards the degradation products of these nanoparticles. To fill this gap, we herein summarize the cellular mechanisms of immune response to inorganic nanoparticles and their degradation products with specific focus on immune cells. We also accentuate the importance of designing new methods and instruments for the in situ characterization of inorganic nanoparticles in order to assess their safety as a result of degradation. This review further sheds light on factors that need to be considered in the design of safe and effective inorganic nanoparticles for use in delivery of bioactive and imaging agents.

Abstract
This chapter reports a single-step preparation of nanoarmored bi-enzyme systems assembled on 1-D and 2-D nanomaterials, with glucose oxidase and peroxidase enzymes as model systems for cascade bio-catalysis. This is a simple and facile method to both exfoliate the bulk 1D (carbon nanotubes, CNT) and 2D nanomaterials (α-Zirconium phosphate, α-ZrP) and bind the enzymes in a single step. Exfoliation of the bulk material enhances the accessible surface area of the materials for the enzyme binding, and it also boosts the diffusion of reagents from the bulk phase to the active sites of the bio-catalysts. For example, a mixture of horseradish peroxidase, glucose oxidase, and bovine serum albumin (BSA) were adsorbed on the surfaces of the α-ZrP nanoplates or carbon nanotubes (CNT) as the bulk materials are exfoliated simultaneously, in a one-step process. The resulting bio-catalysts were thoroughly characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, biochemical and biophysical methods, while enzyme activity studies proved successful binding of enzymes with retention of activities or even enhancements in their specific activities. For example, GOx/HRP/BSA/CNT displayed 6 times the activity of a mixture of GOx/HRP/BSA, under otherwise identical conditions. Similarly, GOx/HRP/BSA/ZrP had 3.5 times the activity of the corresponding mixture of GOx/HRP/BSA, in the absence of the nanoplates. These robust nano-dispersions worked extraordinarily well as active bio-catalysts. These two kinds of fabricated biocatalyst dispersions are also highly stable.

Abstract
Sufficient quantity of trace metals is essential for a well performing anaerobic digestion (AD) process. Among the essential trace elements in active sites of multiple important enzymes for AD are iron and nickel ions. In the present study, iron and nickel in the form of Fe2O3 and NiO were coated on TiO2 nanoparticles to be used in batch and continuous operation mode. The effect of TiO2, Fe2O3-TiO2, and NiO-TiO2 nanoparticles on each step of AD process was assessed utilizing simple substrates (i.e. cellulose, glucose, acetic acid, and mixture of H2-CO2) as well as complex ones (i.e. municipal biopulp). The hydrolysis rate of cellulose substrate increased with higher dosages of the coated TiO2 with both metals. For instance, the hydrolysis rate was increased up to 54% at Fe2O3-TiO2 and at a concentration of 23.5 mg/L for NiO-TiO2 it was increased up to 58%, while higher dosage suppressed the hydrolytic activity. Experimental results revealed that low dosages of NiO-TiO2 increased the accumulated methane production up to 24% probably by increasing the enzymatic activity of acetoclastic methanogenesis. NiO-TiO2 showed positive effect on batch and continuous AD of biopulp and improved methane yield up to 8%.

Nanoparticle application in microalgae for enhanced lipid production is an ongoing work that leads towards the contribution in biodiesel production. During this decade, metal nanoparticles are constantly being reported to have numerous applications in diverse fields, because of their unique optical, electrical, and magnetic properties. They can interact with the biomolecules of cells and thereby alters cellular metabolisms, which in turn reflects their ability to regulate some primary or secondary metabolic pathways. Nanoparticles derived from metals like Fe, Cu, and Se are taking part in redox processes and their presence in many enzymes may modulate algal metabolisms. Besides by upregulating or downregulating the expression of several genes, nanoparticle exposure can alter gene expressions in many organisms. In microalgae such as Chlorella vulgaris, C. pyrenoidosa, Scenedesmus obliquus, S. rubescens, Trachydiscus minut u s, Parachlorella kessleri, and Tetraselmis suecica; metal nanoparticle exposure in different environmental conditions have impacts on various physiological or molecular changes, thereby increasing the growth rate, biomass and lipid production. The present mini-review gives an insight into the various advantages and a future outlook on the application of nanoparticles in microalgae for biofuel production. Also, it can be proposed that nanoparticles could be useful in blocking or deactivating the AGPase enzyme (involved in the glucose to starch conversion pathway), binding to its active site, thereby increasing lipid production in microalgae that could be utilized for enhanced biodiesel production.

Abstract
Enzyme immobilization is a widely used technology for creating more stable, active, and reusable biocatalysts. The immobilization process also improves the enzyme's operating efficiency in industrial applications. Various support matrices have been designed and developed to enhance the biocatalytic efficiency of immobilized enzymes. Given their unique physicochemical attributes, including substantial surface area, rigidity, semi-conductivity, high enzyme loading, hyper catalytic activity, and size-assisted optical properties, nanomaterials have emerged as fascinating matrices for enzyme immobilization. Tyrosinase is a copper-containing monooxygenase that catalyzes the o-hydroxylation of monophenols to catechols and o-quinones. This enzyme possesses a wide range of uses in the medical, biotechnological, and food sectors. This article summarizes an array of nanostructured materials as carrier matrices for tyrosinase immobilization. Following a detailed background overview, various nanomaterials, as immobilization support matrices, including carbon nanotubes (CNTs), carbon dots (CDs), carbon black (CB), nanofibers, Graphene nanocomposite, platinum nanoparticles, nano-sized magnetic particles, lignin nanoparticles, layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanomaterials, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), and zinc oxide nanoparticles have been discussed. Next, applied perspectives have been spotlights with particular reference to environmental pollutant sensing, phenolic compounds detection, pharmaceutical, and food industry (e.g., cereal processing, dairy processing, and meat processing), along with other miscellaneous applications.

Abstract
The oxidative properties of nanomaterials arouse legitimate concerns about oxidative damage in biological systems. On the other hand, the undisputable benefits of nanomaterials promote them for biomedical applications; thus, the strategies to reduce oxidative potential are urgently needed. We aimed at analysis of nitrogen-containing carbon quantum dots (N-CQDs) in terms of their biocompatibility and internalization by different cells. Surprisingly, N-CQD uptake does not contribute to the increased oxidative stress inside cells and lacks cytotoxic influence even at high concentrations, primarily through protein corona formation. We proved experimentally that the protein coating effectively limits the oxidative capacity of N-CQDs. Thus, N-CQDs served as an immobilization support for three different enzymes with the potential to be used as therapeutics. Various kinetic parameters of immobilized enzymes were analyzed. Regardless of the enzyme structure and type of reaction catalyzed, adsorption on the nanocarrier resulted in increased catalytic efficiency. The enzymatic-protein-to-nanomaterial ratio is the pivotal factor determining the course of kinetic parameter changes that can be tailored for enzyme application. We conclude that the above properties of N-CQDs make them an ideal support for enzymatic drugs required for multiple biomedical applications, including personalized medical therapies.

Abstract
Small organic molecules have been extensively applied to achieve enzymatic inhibition. Although numerous efforts have been made to deliver efficient inhibitors, small inhibitors applications are hindered by many drawbacks. Moreover, reporters comprising nanoparticle inhibitory activity against enzymes are very scarce in the literature. In this scenario, carbon nanodots (CDs) emerge as promising candidates for efficient enzyme inhibition due to their unique properties. Here, CDs specific molecular characteristics (core composition and chemical surface groups) have been investigated to produce a more potent enzyme inhibition. Mushroom tyrosinase (mTyr) has been adopted as an enzymatic prototype. The CDs revealed a high affinity to mTyr (Ka ≈ 106 M-1), mainly through hydrophobic forces and followed by slight mTyr structural alteration. CDs competitively inhibit mTyr, with low inhibition constant (KI = 517.7 ± 17.0 nM), which is up 70 fold smaller then the commercial inhibitor (kojic acid) and the starch nanoparticles previously reported. The results expose that the CDs act as a hydrophobic agglomerate with carboxyl groups on its surface, mimicking characteristics found on small molecule inhibitors (but with superior performance). All these results highlight the CD excellent potential as an efficient low toxic Tyr inhibitor, opening the prospect of using these nanoparticles in the cosmetic and food industries.

Abstract
A strategy based on fluorescence coupled capillary electrophoresis (CE-FL) was developed for analyzing tetrahedron DNA (TD) and TD-doxorubicin (DOX) conjugate. Capillary gel electrophoresis exhibited desirable performance for separating TD and DNA strands. Under the optimized conditions, satisfactory repeatability concerning run-to-run and interday repeatability was obtained, and relative standard deviation value of resolution (n = 6) was 0.64%. Furthermore, the combination of CE and fluorescence detection provided a sensitive platform for quantifying TD concentration and calculating the damage degree of TD. The electrophoretograms indicated that CE-FL was a suitable TD assay method with high specificity and sensitivity. In addition, the application of CE-FL for TD fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) research was also explored. Two types of DNA strands were utilized to interfere the formation of TD. The impact of partially complementary chain and completely complementary chain on FRET signal was explored, and the influence mechanism was discussed. After applying CE-FL for characterizing TD, we also combine CE and FRET to analyze TD-DOX conjugate. CE presented a favourable technique to monitor DOX loading and releasing processes. These noteworthy results offered a stepping stone for DNA nanomaterials assay by using CE-FL.

Abstract
Polyethyleneimine-modified Fe3O4 nanoparticles (Fe3O4-PEI) were synthesized by the one-step co-precipitation method, and the resulting material was used to immobilize naringinase from the fermentation broth of Aspergillus niger FFCC uv-11. The immobilized naringinase activity could reach up to 690.74 U per g-support at the conditions of initial naringinase activity of 406.25 U mL-1, immobilization time of 4 h, glutaraldehyde concentration of 40% (w/v), immobilization temperature of 35 °C, and pH value of 5.5, with naringinase-carrying rate and naringinase activity recovery of 92.93% and 20.89%, respectively. In addition, the immobilized naringinase exhibited good pH and temperature stability in a pH range of 3.5-6.0 and temperature range of 40-70 °C, and the optimal reaction pH and reaction temperature were optimized as 5.5 and 60 °C, respectively. Besides, the immobilized naringinase could maintain 60.58% of the original activity after 10 reuse cycles, indicating that the immobilized naringinase had good reusability. Furthermore, the immobilized naringinase also performed excellent storage stability, 87.52% of enzyme activity still remained as stored at 4 °C for one month. In conclusion, the Fe3O4-PEI could be considered as a promising support for naringinase immobilization, with the advantages of high enzyme activity loading, good reusability, storage stability and rapid recovery.

Abstract
Chitosan is one of the most abundant natural polymer worldwide, and due to its inherent characteristics, its use in industrial processes has been extensively explored. Because it is biodegradable, biocompatible, non-toxic, hydrophilic, cheap, and has good physical-chemical stability, it is seen as an excellent alternative for the replacement of synthetic materials in the search for more sustainable production methodologies. Thus being, a possible biotechnological application of Chitosan is as a direct support for enzyme immobilization. However, its applicability is quite specific, and to overcome this issue, alternative pretreatments are required, such as chemical and physical modifications to its structure, enabling its use in a wider array of applications. This review aims to present the topic in detail, by exploring and discussing methods of employment of Chitosan in enzymatic immobilization processes with various enzymes, presenting its advantages and disadvantages, as well as listing possible chemical modifications and combinations with other compounds for formulating an ideal support for this purpose. First, we will present Chitosan emphasizing its characteristics that allow its use as enzyme support. Furthermore, we will discuss possible physicochemical modifications that can be made to Chitosan, mentioning the improvements obtained in each process. These discussions will enable a comprehensive comparison between, and an informed choice of, the best technologies concerning enzyme immobilization and the application conditions of the biocatalyst.

Abstract
The ever-growing demand for cost-effective and innocuous biocatalytic transformations has prompted the rational design and development of robust biocatalytic tools. Enzyme immobilization technology lies in the formation of cooperative interactions between the tailored surface of the support and the enzyme of choice, which result in the fabrication of tremendous biocatalytic tools with desirable properties, complying with the current demands even on an industrial level. Different nanoscale materials (organic, inorganic, and green) have attracted great attention as immobilization matrices for single or multi-enzymatic systems. Aiming to unveil the potentialities of nanobiocatalytic systems, we present distinct immobilization strategies and give a thorough insight into the effect of nanosupports specific properties on the biocatalysts' structure and catalytic performance. We also highlight the development of nanobiocatalysts for their incorporation in cascade enzymatic processes and various types of batch and continuous-flow reactor systems. Remarkable emphasis is given on the application of such nanobiocatalytic tools in several biocatalytic transformations including bioremediation processes, biofuel production, and synthesis of bioactive compounds and fine chemicals for the food and pharmaceutical industry.

Abstract
Lipases belong to α/β hydrolases that cause hydrolytic catalysis of triacylglycerols to release monoacylglycerols, diacylglycerols, and glycerol with free fatty acids. Lipases have a common active site that contains three amino acid residues in a conserved Gly-X-Ser-X-Gly motif: a nucleophilic serine residue, an acidic aspartic or glutamic acid residue, and a basic histidine residue. Lipase plays a significant role in numerous industrial and biotechnological processes, including paper, food, oleochemical and pharmaceutical applications. However, its instability and aqueous solubility make application expensive and relatively challenging. Immobilization has been considered as a promising approach to improve enzyme stability, reusability, and survival under extreme temperature and pH environments. Innumerable supporting material in the form of natural polymers and nanostructured materials is a crucial aspect in the procedure of lipase immobilization used to afford biocompatibility, stability in physio-chemical belongings, and profuse binding positions for enzymes. This review outlines the unique structural and functional properties of a large number of polymers and nanomaterials as robust support matrices for lipase immobilization. Given these supporting materials, the applications of immobilized lipases in different industries, such as biodiesel production, polymer synthesis, additives, detergent, textile, and food industry are also discussed.

Abstract
A facet of nanorenaissance in plant pathology hailed the research on the development and application of nanoformulations or nanoproducts for the effective management of phytopathogens deterring the growth and yield of plants and thus the overall crop productivity. Zinc nanomaterials represent a versatile class of nanoproducts and nanoenabled devices as these nanomaterials can be synthesized in quantum amounts through economically affordable processes/approaches. Further, these nanomaterials exhibit potential targeted antimicrobial properties and low to negligible phytotoxicity activities that well-qualify them to be applied directly or in a deviant manner to accomplish significant antibacterial, antimycotic, antiviral, and antitoxigenic activities against diverse phytopathogens causing plant diseases. The photo-catalytic, fluorescent, and electron generating aspects associated with zinc nanomaterials have been utilized for the development of sensor systems (optical and electrochemical biosensors), enabling quick, early, sensitive, and on-field assessment or quantification of the test phytopathogen. However, the proficient use of Zn-derived nanomaterials in the management of plant pathogenic diseases as nanopesticides and on-field sensor system demands that the associated eco- and biosafety concerns should be well discerned and effectively sorted beforehand. Current and possible utilization of zinc-based nanostructures in plant disease diagnosis and management and their safety in the agroecosystem is highlighted.

Environment-Friendly Removal Methods for Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals. SUSTAINABILITY 2020. [DOI: 10.3390/su12187615] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
In the past few decades, many emerging pollutants have been detected and monitored in different water sources because of their universal consumption and improper disposal. Among these, endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), a group of organic chemicals, have received global attention due to their estrogen effect, toxicity, persistence and bioaccumulation. For the removal of EDCs, conventional wastewater treatment methods include flocculation, precipitation, adsorption, etc. However, there are some limitations on these common methods. Herein, in order to enhance the public’s understanding of environmental EDCs, the definition of EDCs and the characteristics of several typical EDCs (physical and chemical properties, sources, usage, concentrations in the environment) are reviewed and summarized in this paper. In particular, the methods of EDC removal are reviewed, including the traditional methods of EDC removal, photocatalysis, biodegradation of EDCs and the latest research results of EDC removal. It is proposed that photocatalysis and biodegradation could be used as an environmentally friendly and efficient EDC removal technology. Photocatalytic technology could be one of the water treatment methods with the most potential, with great development prospects due to its high catalytic efficiency and low energy consumption. Biodegradation is expected to replace traditional water treatment methods and is also considered to be a highly promising method for efficient removal of EDCs. Besides, we summarize several photocatalysts with high catalytic activity and some fungi, bacteria and algae with strong biodegradability.

Abstract
Nanomaterials displaying well-tailored sizes and surface chemistries can provide novel ways with which to modulate the structure and function of enzymes. Recently, we showed that gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in the ultrasmall size regime could perform as allosteric effectors inducing partial inhibition of thrombin activity. We now find that the nature of the AuNP surface chemistry controls the interactions to the anion-binding exosites 1 and 2 on the surface of thrombin, the allosterically induced changes to the active-site conformation, and, by extension, the enzymatic activity. Ultrasmall AuNPs passivated with p-mercaptobenzoic acid ligands (AuMBA) and a peptide-based (Ac-ECYN) biomimetic coat (AuECYN) were utilized in our investigations. Remarkably, we found that while AuMBA binds to exosites 1 and 2, AuECYN interacts primarily with exosite 2. It was further established that AuMBA behaves as a "mild denaturant" of thrombin leading to catalytic dysfunction over time. Conversely, AuECYN resembles a proper allosteric effector leading to partial and reversible inhibition of the activity. Collectively, our findings reveal how the distinct binding modes of different AuNP types may uniquely influence thrombin structure and catalysis. The present study further contributes to our understanding of how synthetic nanomaterials could be exploited in the allosteric regulation of enzymes.

Abstract
Artificial metalloenzymes as catalysts are promising candidates for their use in different technologies, such as bioremediation, biomass transformation, or biosensing. Despite this, their practical exploitation is still at an early stage. Immobilized natural enzymes have been proposed to enhance their applicability. Immobilization may offer several advantages: (i) catalyst reuse; (ii) easy separation of the enzyme from the reaction medium; (iii) better tolerance to harsh temperature and pH conditions. Here, we report an easy immobilization procedure of an artificial peroxidase on different surfaces, by means of click chemistry. FeMC6*a, a recently developed peroxidase mimic, has been functionalized with a pegylated aza-dibenzocyclooctyne to afford a "clickable" biocatalyst, namely FeMC6*a-PEG4@DBCO, which easily reacts with azide-functionalized molecules and/or nanomaterials to afford functional bioconjugates. The clicked biocatalyst retains its structural and, to some extent, its functional behaviors, thus housing high potential for biotechnological applications.
