Abstract
As one of the most instrumental components in the architecture of advanced nanomedicines, plasmonic nanostructures (mainly gold and silver nanomaterials) have been paid a lot of attention. This type of nanomaterial can absorb light photons with a specific wavelength and generate heat or excited electrons through surface resonance, which is a unique physical property. In innovative biomaterials, a significant number of theranostic (therapeutic and diagnostic) materials are produced through the conjugation of thiol-containing ingredients with gold and silver nanoparticles (Au and Ag NPs). Hence, it is essential to investigate Au/Ag-S interfaces precisely and determine the exact bonding states in the active nanobiomaterials. This study intends to provide useful insights into the interactions between Au/Ag NPs and thiol groups that exist in the structure of biomaterials. In this regard, the modeling of Au/Ag-S bonding in active biological ingredients is precisely reviewed. Then, the physiological stability of Au/Ag-based plasmonic nanobioconjugates in real physiological environments (pharmacokinetics) is discussed. Recent experimental validation and achievements of plasmonic theranostics and radiolabelled nanomaterials based on Au/Ag-S conjugation are also profoundly reviewed. This study will also help researchers working on biosensors in which plasmonic devices deal with the thiol-containing biomaterials (e.g., antibodies) inside blood serum and living cells.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are emergent materials in diverse prospective biomedical uses, owing to their inherent features such as adjustable pore dimension and volume, well-defined active sites, high surface area, and hybrid structures. The multifunctionality and unique chemical and biological characteristics of MOFs allow them as ideal platforms for sensing numerous emergent biomolecules with real-time monitoring towards the point-of-care applications. This review objects to deliver key insights on the topical developments of MOFs for biomedical applications. The rational design, preparation of stable MOF architectures, chemical and biological properties, biocompatibility, enzyme-mimicking materials, fabrication of biosensor platforms, and the exploration in diagnostic and therapeutic systems are compiled. The state-of-the-art, major challenges, and the imminent perspectives to improve the progressions convoluted outside the proof-of-concept, especially for biosensor platforms, imaging, and photodynamic therapy in biomedical research are also described. The present review may excite the interdisciplinary studies at the juncture of MOFs and biomedicine.

Abstract
In recent years, the conventional preparation of silver nanoclusters (AgNCs) has attracted much attention due to their ultra-small size, tunable fluorescence, easy-to-engineer, as well as biocompatible material. Moreover, its great affinity towards cytosine bases on single-stranded DNA has led to the construction of biosensors, especially aptamers, for a broad variety of applications in food safety and environmental protection. In past years, numerous researchers paid attention to the construction of AgNCs aptasensor. Therefore, this review will be an effort to summarize the synthetic strategy along with the influences of factors on synthesis, categorize the sensing mechanism of aptamer-functionalized AgNCs biosensors, as well as their specific applications in food safety detection including heavy metal, toxin, and foodborne pathogenic bacteria. Furthermore, a brief conclusion and outlook regarding the prospects and challenges of their applications in food safety were drawn in line with the developments in DNA-AgNCs.

Abstract
The BaBiO3 (BBO) perovskite oxide was prepared via a sol-gel method with different concentrations of Bi nitrate and examined as a photocatalyst for RhB degradation under sunlight, and its antioxidant and antibacterial activities were examined. X-ray diffraction (XRD) indicated the formation of a BaBiO3-BaCO3 (BBO-BCO) binary composite. For the degradation of RhB under solar radiation, high photocatalytic activity (73%) was observed. According to the antibacterial activity study, the addition of Bi enhanced the antibacterial activity of the resulting material against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative microorganisms. The Bi%-BBO (Bi 20%) inhibited 96.23% S. aureus. 10% Bi-BBO as an antioxidant agent had the most efficacious IC50 value of 2.50 mg mL-1. These results seem to suggest that BBO-BCO is a promising catalytic material with potential application in the fields of catalysis and medicine.

Abstract
Biosynthesis based on natural compounds has emerged as a sustainable approach for the production of metallic nanoparticles (MNP). The main objective of this study was to biosynthesize stable and multifunctional silver nanoparticles (AgNP) using different plant by-products as reducers and capping agents. Extracts obtained from Eucalyptus globulus, Pinus pinaster, Citrus sinensis, Cedrus atlantica and Camellia sinensis by-products, were evaluated. From all plant by-products tested, aqueous extract of eucalyptus leaves (EL), green tea (GT) and black tea (BT) were selected due to their higher antioxidant phenolic content and were individually employed as reducers and capping agents to biosynthesize AgNP. The green AgNP showed zeta potential values of -31.8 to -36.3 mV, with a wide range of particle sizes (40.6 to 86.4 nm), depending on the plant extract used. Green AgNP exhibited an inhibitory effect against various pathogenic bacteria, including Gram-negative (P. putida, E. coli, Vibrio spp.) and Gram-positive (B. megaterium, S. aureus, S. equisimilis) bacteria with EL-AgNP being the nanostructure with the greatest antimicrobial action. EL-AgNP showed an excellent photodegradation of indigo carmine (IC) dye under direct sunlight, with a removal percentage of up to 100% after 75 min. A complete cost analysis revealed a competitive total cost range of 8.0-9.0 €/g for the biosynthesis of AgNP.

Abstract
Development of rapid colorimetric methods based on novel optical-active metal nanomaterials has provided methods for the detection of ions, biomarkers, cancers, etc. Fluorescent metal nanoclusters (FMNCs) have gained a lot of attention due to their unique physical, chemical, and optical properties providing numerous applications from rapid and sensitive detection to cellular imaging. However, because of very small color changes, their colorimetric applications for developing rapid tests based on the naked eye or simple UV-vis absorption spectrophotometry are still limited. FMNCs with peroxidase-like activity have significant potential in a wide variety of applications, especially for point-of-care diagnostics. In this review, the effect of using various capping agents and metals for the preparation of nanoclusters in their colorimetric sensing properties is explored, and the synthesis and detection mechanisms and the recent advances in their application for ultrasensitive chemical and biological analysis regarding human health are highlighted. Finally, the challenges that remain as well as the future perspectives are briefly discussed. Overcoming these limitations will allow us to expand the nanocluster's application for colorimetric diagnostic purposes in medical practice.

Abstract
Metallic nanoparticles play a significant role in the catalysis of chemical processes, besides, bimetallic nanoparticles with abundant active sites can reduce metallic nanoparticles toxicity in addition to increasing their catalytic performances. In this work, the platinum, gold, and silver nanoparticles are bio-synthesized using a native bacterium (GFCr-4). Also, the Au-Ag and Au@Ag bimetallic nanoparticles with alloy and core-shell structures, respectively, are biologically synthesized. To improve the synthesis, the effects of various factors like pH, temperature, electron donor, and ionic liquids were investigated. The as-synthesized nanoparticles were characterized with different techniques. The microscope images and dynamic light scattering (DLS) analysis confirm the uniform distribution of as-synthesized nanoparticles with average sizes of 25, 30, 47, 77, and 86 nm obtained for Ag, Au, Pt, Au-Ag alloy, and Au@Ag core-shell, respectively. The catalytic performances of as-synthesized nanoparticles were investigated. The Au-Ag alloy nanoparticles exhibit better catalytic performance than the as-synthesized metallic Au nanoparticles, according to the Gewald reaction. According to the photocatalytic study, the yield can be increased by up to 92% by using PtNPs in the presence of a green LED. Additionally, for the first time, PtNPs were utilized as an effective catalyst in a peroxyoxalate chemiluminescence (POCL) system in the presence of nuclear fast red (NFR) as a novel fluorophore. In addition, the results of the MTT (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5 diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) assay revealed that the synthesized eco-friendly nanoparticles have a low effect on the lethality of 3T3 normal cells whereas MCF-7 cancer cells were inhibited up to 77.3% after treatment by PtNPs nanoparticles.

Abstract
The ability of bacteria to facilitate fabrication of nanomaterials has been adapted towards bacterial sensing applications. In this work, we fabricate spherical, cubic and truncated octahedron topologies of Cu2O nanoparticles via E. coli-facilitated redox reaction in an electrochemical setup. The Cu2O nanoparticles exhibit cytochrome c oxidase-like activity with the spherical topology displaying higher catalytic rate compared to the other geometries. The topology-dependent catalytic behavior of Cu2O nanoparticles has not been reported previously. The Cu2O nanozymes also display E. coli killing activity in a topology-correlated manner. The E. coli mediated redox reaction in an electrochemical setup is being reported for the first time for synthesis of different topologies of Cu2O which also exert a variable antibacterial effect.

Abstract
Multifunctional metallic nanostructures are essential in the architecture of modern technology. However, their characterization remains challenging due to their hybrid nature. In this study, we present a novel photoreduction-based protocol for augmenting the inherent properties of imidazolium-containing ionic polymers (IIP)s through orthogonal functionalization with gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) to produce IIP_Au NPs, as well as novel and advanced characterization via three-dimensional correlation thermal field-flow fractionation (3DCoThFFF). Coordination chemistry is applied to anchor Au3+ onto the nitrogen atom of the imidazolium rings, for subsequent photoreduction to Au NPs using UV irradiation. Thermal field-flow fractionation (ThFFF) and the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of Au NPs are both dependent on size, shape, and composition, thus synergistically co-opted herein to develop mutual correlation for the advanced analysis of 3D spectral data. With 3DCoThFFF, multiple sizes, shapes, compositions, and their respective distributions are synchronously correlated using time-resolved LSPR, as derived from multiple two-dimensional UV-vis spectra per unit ThFFF retention time. As such, higher resolutions and sensitivities are observed relative to those of regular ThFFF and batch UV-vis. In addition, 3DCoThFFF is shown to be highly suitable for monitoring and evaluating the thermostability and dynamics of the metallic nanostructures through the sequential correlation of UV-vis spectra measured under incremental ThFFF temperature gradients. Comparable sizes are measured for IIP and IIP_Au NPs. However, distinct elution profiles and UV-vis absorbances are recorded, thereby reaffirming the versatility of ThFFF as a robust tool for validating the successful functionalization of IIP with Au to produce IIP_Au NPs.

However, severe hypoxia, overexpressed glutathione and high levels of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) of tumor microenvironment limit the antitumor efficiency of phototherapy. Herein, inspired by the specific response of nanozymes to the tumor microenvironment, a simple and versatile nanozyme-mediated synergistic dual phototherapy nanoplatform is constructed. In this study, tin ferrite (SnFe2O4, SFO) nanozyme as a photosensitizer was surface modified with polydopamine (denoted as P-SFO) and incorporated into poly(l-lactide) to fabricate an antitumor scaffold fabricated by selective laser sintering. On one hand, SFO nanozyme could act as a photoabsorber to convert light energy into heat for photothermal therapy (PTT). On the other hand, it played a role of photosensitizer in transferring the photon energy to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) for photodynamic therapy (PDT). Importantly, its multivalent metal ions redox couples would decompose H2O2 into O2 for enhancing O2-dependent PDT and consume glutathione to relieve antioxidant capability of the tumors. Besides, polydopamine as a photothermal conversion agent further enhanced the photothermal performance of SFO. The results revealed the PLLA/P-SFO scaffold possessed a photothermal conversion efficiency of 43.52% for PTT and a high ROS generation capacity of highly toxic ·O2- and ·OH for PDT. Consequently, the scaffold displayed a prominent phototherapeutic effect with antitumor rate of 96.3%. In addition, the PLLA/P-SFO scaffolds possessed good biocompatibility for cell growth. These advantages endow PLLA/P-SFO scaffold with extensive applications in biomedical fields and opened up new avenue towards nanozyme-mediated synergistic phototherapy.

Abstract
Au@MnO2 nanoparticles (NPs), as core-shell nanostructures, have been widely used in ions, molecules and enzyme activities detection due to their stable properties and easy preparation, but their application in bacterial pathogens detection is rarely reported. In this work, Au@MnO2 NPs is employed for Escherichia coli (E. coli) detection through monitoring and measuring β-galactosidase (β-gal) activity based enzyme-induced color-code single particle enumeration (SPE) method. In the existence of E. coli, p-aminophenylβ-D-galactopyranoside (PAPG) can be hydrolyzed to generate p-aminophenol (AP) by the endogenous β-gal of E. coli. MnO2 shell reacts with AP and produces Mn2+, causing the blue shift of the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) peak and color change of the probe from bright yellow to green. With the SPE method, the amount of E. coli can be quantified readily. The detection limit reaches 15 CFU/mL with dynamic range from 100 to 2900 CFU/mL. Besides, this assay is effectively employed to monitor E. coli in river water sample. The designed sensing strategy provides an ultrasensitive and low cost way for E. coli detection and has the possibility to detect other bacteria in environmental monitoring and food quality analysis.

A computational study of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as potential nanostructures to combat SARS-CoV-2. Sci Rep 2022; 12:15678. [PMID: 36127369 PMCID: PMC9489710 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-19845-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2022] [Accepted: 09/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/08/2022] Open
Abstract
The COVID-19 causative agent, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has a critical surface protein called spike protein (S protein), which is the target of many vaccines and drugs developments. Among non-structural proteins of SARS-CoV-2, main protease (Mpro) has drawn much attention to itself for designing antiviral drugs since it is very crucial for the virus replication in host cells. In the first part of the present study, the application of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), one of the developing nanomaterials in the deformation and consequently inhibition of S protein binding to the receptor, angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE 2), is investigated. In this line, various S protein inhibitors were designed virtually, including ZIF, UIO, and IRMOF that their interactions with S protein and were investigated using molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. The results revealed that ZIF is the best candidate among the investigated MOFs with the least amount of energy interference with S protein. In the second part, the interaction of three-dimensional (3D) MOFs (such as ZIF, IRMOF, and HKUST) with SARS-CoV-2 Mpro was investigated. HKUST had the most potent interaction with Mpro and showed more promise in deforming this protein's secondary structure among all materials tested. Furthermore, we investigated the interaction of HKUST-OH with Mpro to determine the effect of functionalization. The findings of this study could be used in future studies to introduce bioconjugates of MOFs and biological molecules (e.g., antibody or nanobody) or to use MOFs as carriers for antiviral drug delivery.
