Abstract
Hybrid ionic fluids (HIFs) are one of the emerging and fascinating sustainable solvent media, a novel environment-friendly solvent for biomolecules. The HIFs have been synthesized by combining a deep eutectic solvent (DES), an ionic liquid (IL) having a common ion. The stability and activity of hen's egg white lysozyme (Lyz) in the presence of a recently designed new class of biocompatible solvents, HIFs have been explored by UV-visible, steady-state fluorescence, circular dichroism (CD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) along with dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements. This work emphasizes the effect of DES synthesized by using 1:2 choline chloride and glycerol [Glyn], ILs (1-butly-3-methylimidazolium chloride [BMIM]Cl and choline acetate [Chn][Ac]) and their corresponding HIFs on the structure and functionality of Lyz. Moving forward, we also studied the secondary structure, thermal stability and enzymatic activity and thermodynamic profile of Lyz at pH = 7 in the presence of varying concentrations (0.1 to 0.5) M of [BMIM]Cl, [Chn][Ac] ILs, [Glyn] DES and [Glyn][BMIM]Cl (hybrid ionic fluid1) as well as [Glyn][Chn][Ac] (hybrid ionic fluid2). Spectroscopic results elucidate that ILs affect the activity and structural stability of Lyz, whereas the stability and activity are increased by DES and are maintained by HIFs at all the studied concentrations. Overall, the experimental results studied elucidate expressly that the properties of Lyz are maintained in the presence of hybrid ionic fluid1 while these properties are intensified in hybrid ionic fluid2. This work has elucidated expressly biocompatible green solvents in protein stability and functionality due to the alluring properties of DES, which can counteract the negative effect of ILs in HIFs.

Abstract
Understanding and controlling protein motion at atomic resolution is a hallmark challenge for structural biologists and protein engineers because conformational dynamics are essential for complex functions such as enzyme catalysis and allosteric regulation. Time-resolved crystallography offers a window into protein motions, yet without a universal perturbation to initiate conformational changes the method has been limited in scope. Here we couple a solvent-based temperature jump with time-resolved crystallography to visualize structural motions in lysozyme, a dynamic enzyme. We observed widespread atomic vibrations on the nanosecond timescale, which evolve on the submillisecond timescale into localized structural fluctuations that are coupled to the active site. An orthogonal perturbation to the enzyme, inhibitor binding, altered these dynamics by blocking key motions that allow energy to dissipate from vibrations into functional movements linked to the catalytic cycle. Because temperature jump is a universal method for perturbing molecular motion, the method demonstrated here is broadly applicable for studying protein dynamics.

Abstract
Single-molecule measurements of protein dynamics help unveil the complex conformational changes and transitions that occur during ligand binding and catalytic processes. Using high-resolution single-molecule nanocircuit techniques, we have investigated differences in the conformational dynamics and transitions of lysozyme interacting with three ligands: peptidoglycan substrate, substrate-based chitin analogue, and indole derivative inhibitors. While processing peptidoglycan, lysozyme followed one of the two mechanistic pathways for the hydrolysis of the glycosidic bonds: a concerted mechanism inducing direct conformational changes from open to fully closed conformations or a nonconcerted mechanism involving transient pauses in intermediate conformations between the open and closed conformations. In the presence of either chitin or an indole inhibitor, lysozyme was unable to access the fully closed conformation where catalysis occurs. Instead, lysozymes' conformational closures terminated at slightly closed, "excited" conformations that were approximately one-quarter of the full hinge-bending range. With the indole inhibitor, lysozyme reached this excited conformation in a single step without any evidence of rate-liming intermediates, but the same conformational motions with chitin involved three hidden, intermediate processes and features similar to the nonconcerted peptidoglycan mechanism. The similarities suggest that these hidden processes involve attempts to accommodate imperfectly aligned polysaccharides in the active site. The results provide a detailed glimpse of the enzyme-ligand interplay at the crux of molecular recognition, enzyme specificity, and catalysis.

Abstract
We use a hybrid fluorescence spectroscopic toolkit to monitor T4 Lysozyme (T4L) in action by unraveling the kinetic and dynamic interplay of the conformational states. In particular, by combining single-molecule and ensemble multiparameter fluorescence detection, EPR spectroscopy, mutagenesis, and FRET-positioning and screening, and other biochemical and biophysical tools, we characterize three short-lived conformational states over the ns-ms timescale. The use of 33 FRET-derived distance sets, to screen available T4L structures, reveal that T4L in solution mainly adopts the known open and closed states in exchange at 4 µs. A newly found minor state, undisclosed by, at present, more than 500 crystal structures of T4L and sampled at 230 µs, may be actively involved in the product release step in catalysis. The presented fluorescence spectroscopic toolkit will likely accelerate the development of dynamic structural biology by identifying transient conformational states that are highly abundant in biology and critical in enzymatic reactions. T4 Lysozyme (T4L) is a model protein whose structure is extensively studied. Here the authors combine single-molecule and ensemble FRET measurements, FRET-positioning and screening and EPR spectroscopy to study the structural dynamics of T4L and describe its conformational landscape during the catalytic cycle by an extended Michaelis–Menten mechanism and identify an excited conformational state of the enzyme.

Abstract
Sensing strategies utilizing Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) are widely used for probing biological phenomena. FRET sensitivity to the donor-acceptor distance makes it ideal for measuring the concentration of a known analyte or determining the spatial separation between fluorescent labels in a macromolecular assembly. The difficulty lies in extracting the FRET efficiency from the acceptor-induced quenching of the donor emission, which may contain a significant non-FRET contribution. Here, we demonstrate a general spectroscopic approach for differentiating between charge transfer and energy transfer (ET) processes in donor-acceptor assemblies and apply the developed method for unravelling the FRET/non-FRET contributions in cyanine dye-semiconductor quantum dot (QD) constructs. The present method relies on correlating the amplitude of the acceptor emission to specific changes in the donor excitation profile in order to extract ET-only transfer efficiencies. Quenching of the donor emission is then utilized to determine the non-ET component, tentatively attributed to the charge transfer. We observe that the latter accounts for 50-99% of donor emission quenching in QD-Cy5 and QD-Cy7 systems, stressing the importance of determining the non-FRET efficiency in a spectroscopic ruler and other FRET-based sensing applications.
