J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 665:622-633. [PMID: 38552579 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.03.088] [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: 12/04/2023] [Revised: 02/16/2024] [Accepted: 03/11/2024] [Indexed: 04/17/2024]
Abstract
Hypothesis Long-acting formulations such as microparticles, injectable depots and implantable devices can realize spatiotemporally controlled delivery of protein drugs to extend their therapeutic in vivo half-lives. To efficiently encapsulate the protein drugs into such drug delivery systems, (sub)micron-sized protein particles are needed. The formation of micronized supraproteins can be induced through the synergistic combination of attractive depletion forces and freezing. The size of the supraproteins can be fine-tuned from submicron to several microns by adjusting the ice crystallization rate through the freeze-quench depth, which is set by the target temperature. Methods Supraprotein micron structures were prepared from protein solutions under various conditions in the presence and absence of nonadsorbing polyethylene glycol. Scanning electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering were employed to determine the sizes of the supraproteins and real-time total internal reflection fluorescent microscopy was used to follow the supraprotein formation during freezing. The protein secondary structure was measured before and after micronization by circular dichroism. A phase diagram of a protein-polyethylene glycol mixture was theoretically predicted to investigate whether the depletion interaction can elucidate the phase behavior. Findings Micronized protein supraparticles could be prepared in a controlled manner by rapid freeze-drying of aqueous mixtures of bovine serum albumin, horseradish peroxidase and lysozyme mixed with polyethylene glycol. Upon freezing, the temperature quench initiates a phase separation process which is reminiscent of spinodal decomposition. This demixing is subsequently arrested during droplet phase separation to form protein-rich microstructures. The final size of the generated protein microparticles is determined by a competition between phase separation and cooling rate, which can be controlled by target temperature. The experimental phase diagram of the aqueous protein-polyethylene glycol dispersion aligns with predictions from depletion theory for charged colloids and nonadsorbing polymers.

Abstract
Diversely substituted methoxy derivatives of arylpiperazinyl-alkyl benzothiazolone has been evaluated as specific probe for 5HT7. To determine the best methoxy derivative for 5HT7 receptor affinity, we synthesised a number of 2-benzothiazolone arylalkyl piperazine derivatives. In-vitro/vivo studies with C-2 substituted [11C]ABT showed 5HT7 specific binding. The radiochemical purity of [11C]ABT was found to be more than 99% with radiochemical stability persistence for more than 1.5 hr at 25 °C. The interaction of BSA and ABT has been analysed by photophysical studies for better understanding of properties such as adsortion, distribution, metabolism and elemination (ADME). The interaction between ABT and BSA was analyzed by using the UV-vis and fluorescence spectra. UV-vis spectra analyzed the changes in primary structure of BSA on its interaction with ABT. ABT showed quenched fluorescence emission intensity of tryptophan residues in BSA via static quenching mechanism. This study might help to understand how ABT binds to serum protein or subsequently to know the ADME of this drug candidate.

Abstract
We study the effect of sodium chloride (NaCl) on the properties of the interface of water and the surfactant dodecyl sulfate (DS-) using heterodyne-detected vibrational sum-frequency generation spectroscopy. We find that the signal of the O-H stretch vibrations of oriented water molecules at the interface is highly nonlinearly dependent on the NaCl concentration. This nonlinear dependence is explained by a combination of screening of the electric field of surface-bound DS- ions pointing into the bulk and screening of the Coulomb repulsion between the headgroups of the DS- ions in the surface plane. The latter effect strongly increases the oriented water signal within a limited NaCl concentration range of 10-100 mM, indicating a two-dimensional hydrophobic collapse of the surfactant layer. The occurrence of collapse is supported by model calculations of the surface potential and surface surfactant density.

Abstract
The 0.2-0.8mg% @ 0.2 mg% bovine serum albumin (BSA 66), hemoglobin (Hb 64.5), and double stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (dsDNA 130 kDa) with water and 0.25, 0.50, and 1.00 g% aqueous carboxymethyl cellulose sodium salt (NaCMC) thermodynamically, kinetically, and tentropically stable homogeneous solutions via resonating energy transfer were designed. Density (ρ), viscosity (η), surface tension (γ), friccohesity (σ), Gibbs free energy (ΔGb), chemical potential (μ), frictional volume (ϕ), apparent molar volume (V2), hydrodynamic radius (Rh), and isentropic compressibility (ksϕ) at 298.15, 304.15, and 310.15 K were studied. UV-Vis spectrophotometry, fluorescence spectroscopy, circular dichroism (CD), MALDI TOF, and in-silico study via reorientational activities have elucidated structural recognition. The ρ, η, γ, σ, ΔGb, μ, V2, ϕ, Rh, and ksϕ physicochemical properties (PCPs) have studied the interacting activities of salt bridges (peptide bonds) of proteins and base pairs (adenine, thymine, cytosine, guanine) of dsDNA on developing nanohydration sphere (NHS) with water and 0.25, 0.50, and 1.00 g% aq-NaCMC. Regression constants of PCPs have elaborated the interacting mechanism of internal linkages of BSA, Hb, and dsDNA for solubilizing them without unfolding assisted by glycosidic bonds of glucopyranose units of NaCMC. Magnitudes of regression constants analyse the inner salt bridges, electrostatic dipoles, and hydrogen bonds (HB) to interact with H2O dipoles and NaCMC affecting solubilization of biomolecules (biomols) in areas of biochemical, biophysical, bioengineering, tissue, and genetic engineering. PCPs, UV-Vis, fluorescence, CD, and in-silico study analyse their structurally interacting abilities with NaCMC via respective NHS to be extended to pharmaceutical and cosmetic processes by minimizing quantum energy barrier (QEB) as Newtonian behaviour of structural sensors.

Abstract
The use of indium phosphide (InP) quantum dots (QDs) as biological fluorophores is limited by the low photoluminescence quantum yield (ϕPL) and the lack of effective bioconjugation strategies. The former issue has been addressed by introducing a strain relaxing intermediate shell such as ZnSe, GaP etc. that significantly enhances the ϕPL of InP. Herein, we present an effective strategy for the conjugation of emissive InP/GaP/ZnS QDs with a commonly used globular protein, namely bovine serum albumin (BSA), which generate colloidally stable QD bioconjugates, labeled as InP-BSA and demonstrate its use as energy transfer probes. The conjugate contains one protein per QD, and the circular dichroism spectra of BSA and InP-BSA exhibit similar fractions of α-helix and β-sheet, reflective of the fact that the secondary structure of the protein is intact on binding. More importantly, the fluorescence polarization studies corroborate the fact that the bound protein can hold a variety of chromophoric acceptors. Upon selectively exciting the InP-BSA component in the presence of bound chromophores, a reduction in the emission intensity of the donor is observed with a concomitant increase in emission of the acceptor. Time-resolved investigations further confirm an efficient nonradiative energy transfer from InP-BSA to the bound acceptors.

Abstract
Protein surfactant (PS) interactions is an essential topic for many fundamental and technological applications such as life science, nanobiotechnology processes, food industry, biodiesel production and drug delivery systems. Several experimental techniques and data analysis approaches have been developed to characterize PS interactions in bulk and at interfaces. However, to evaluate the mechanisms and the level of interactions quantitatively, e.g., PS ratio in complexes, their stability in bulk, and reversibility of their interfacial adsorption, new experimental techniques and protocols are still needed, especially with relevance for in-situ biological conditions. The available standard techniques can provide us with the basic understanding of interactions mainly under static conditions and far from physiological criteria. However, detailed measurements at complex interfaces can be formidable due to the sophisticated tools required to carefully probe nanometric phenomena at interfaces without disturbing the adsorbed layer. Tensiometry-based techniques such as drop profile analysis tensiometry (PAT) have been among the most powerful methods for characterizing protein's and surfactant's adsorption layers at interfaces via measuring equilibrium and dynamic interfacial tension and dilational rheology analysis. PAT provides us with insightful data such as kinetics and isotherms of adsorption and related surface activity parameters. However, the data analysis and interpretation can be challenging for mixed protein-surfactant solutions via standard PAT experimental protocols. The combination of a coaxial double capillary (micro flow exchange system) with drop profile analysis tensiometry (CDC-PAT) is a promising tool to provide valuable results under different competitive adsorption/desorption conditions via novel experimental protocols. CDC-PAT provides unique experimental protocols to exchange the droplet subphase in a continuous dynamic mode during the in-situ analysis of the corresponding interfacial adsorbed layer. The contribution of diffusion/convection mechanisms on the kinetics of the adsorption/desorption processes can also be investigated using CDC-PAT. Here, firstly, we review the commonly available techniques for characterizing protein-surfactant interactions in the bulk phase and at interfaces. Secondly, we give an overview for applications of the coaxial double capillary PAT setup for investigations of mixed protein-surfactant adsorbed layers and address recently developed protocols and analysis procedures. Exploring the competitive sequential adsorption of proteins and surfactants and the reversibility of pre-adsorbed layers via the subphase exchange are the particular experiments we can perform using CDC-PAT. Also the sequential and simultaneous competitive adsorption/desorption processes of some ionic and nonionic surfactants (SDS, CTAB, DTAB, and Triton) and proteins (bovine serum albumin (BSA), lysozyme, and lipase) using CDC-PAT are discussed. Last but not least, the fabrication of micro-nanocomposite layers and membranes are additional applications of CDC-PAT discussed in this work.

Abstract
Five new anionic aqueous dioxidovanadium(V) complexes, [{VO2L1,2}A(H2O)n]α (1-5), with the aroylhydrazone ligands pyridine-4-carboxylic acid (3-ethoxy-2-hydroxybenzylidene)hydrazide (H2L1) and furan-2-carboxylic acid (3-ethoxy-2-hydroxybenzylidene)hydrazide (H2L2) incorporating different alkali metals (A = Na+, K+, Cs+) as countercation were synthesized and characterized by various physicochemical techniques. The solution-phase stabilities of 1-5 were determined by time-dependent NMR and UV-vis, and also the octanol/water partition coefficients were obtained by spectroscopic techniques. X-ray crystallography of 2-4 confirmed the presence of vanadium(V) centers coordinated by two cis-oxido-O atoms and the O, N, and O atoms of a dianionic tridentate ligand. To evaluate the biological behavior, all complexes were screened for their DNA/protein binding propensity through spectroscopic experiments. Finally, a cytotoxicity study of 1-5 was performed against colon (HT-29), breast (MCF-7), and cervical (HeLa) cancer cell lines and a noncancerous NIH-3T3 cell line. The cytotoxicity was cell-selective, being more active against HT-29 than against other cells. In addition, the role of hydrophobicity in the cytotoxicity was explained in that an optimal hydrophobicity is essential for high cytotoxicity. Moreover, the results of wound-healing assays indicated antimigration in case of HT-29 cells. Remarkably, 1 with an IC50 value of 5.42 ± 0.15 μM showed greater activity in comparison to cisplatin against the HT-29 cell line.

Abstract
TolC is a member of the outer membrane efflux proteins (OEPs) family and acts as an exit duct to export proteins, antibiotics, and substrate molecules across the Escherichia coli cell membrane. Export of these molecules is evidenced to be brought about through the reversible interactions and binding of substrate-specific drug molecules or antibiotics with TolC and by being open for transport, which afterward leads to cross-resistance. Hence, the binding of kanamycin with TolC was monitored through molecular docking (MD), the structural fluctuations and conformational changes to the atomic level. The results were further supported from the steady-state fluorescence binding and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) studies. Binding of kanamycin with TolC resulted in a concentration dependent fluorescence intensity quenching with 7 nm blue shift. ITC binding data maintains a single binding site endothermic energetic curve with binding parameters indicating an entropy driven binding process. The confirmational changes resulting from this binding were monitored by a circular dichroism (CD) study, and the results showed insignificant changes in the α-helix and β-sheets secondary structure contents, but the tertiary structure shows inclusive changes in the presence of kanamycin. The experimental data substaintially correlates the RMSD, R g, and RMSF results. The resulting conformational changes of the TolC-kanamycin complexation was stabilized through H-bonding and other interactions.

Abstract
Designing a potential protein-ligand pair is pivotal, not only to track the protein structure dynamics, but also to assist in an atomistic understanding of drug delivery. Herein, the potential of a small model thioamide probe being used to study albumin proteins is reported. By monitoring the Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) dynamics with the help of fluorescence spectroscopic techniques, a twofold enhancement in the FRET efficiency of 2-thiopyridone (2TPY), relative to that of its amide analogue, is observed. Molecular dynamics simulations depict the relative position of the free energy minimum to be quite stable in the case of 2TPY through noncovalent interactions with sulfur, which help to enhance the FRET efficiency. Finally, its application is shown by pairing thiouracils with protein. It is found that the site-selective sulfur atom substitution approach and noncovalent interactions with sulfur can substantially enhance the FRET efficiency, which could be a potential avenue to explore in the design of FRET probes to study the structure and dynamics of biomolecules.

Abstract
Phosmet exerts its neurotoxicity by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase that catalyzes the degradation of acetylcholine (a neurotransmitter). Serum proteins are known to influence the biodistribution of various endogenous and exogenous compounds. In the present study, the binding interactions of phosmet with bovine serum albumin (BSA) was investigated to determine the free concentration of phosmet for its neurotoxicity. The binding mechanism was studied using fluorescence, UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy, circular dichroism (CD), and molecular docking techniques. UV-Vis absorption data showed an increase in absorbance of BSA upon binding with phosmet with a slight red-shift in the peak around 280 nm. Intrinsic fluorescence of BSA was quenched in the presence of phosmet. The quenching was observed to be inversely correlated to the temperature that indicated the formation of ground state non-fluorescent complex (static quenching). Binding constant values and n values for the binding of phosmet with BSA at three different temperatures confirmed non-covalent binding interactions with a single set of equivalent binding sites. Thermodynamic parameters ∆G (-137.40 ± 3.58 kJ mol-1); ΔH (-16.33 ± 5.28 kJ mol-1) and ΔS(-469 ± 12.45 kJ mol-1) confirmed that the binding was spontaneous and non-covalent interactions like electrostatic, hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces played an important role in the binding. The CD data indicated the conformational change in BSA upon binding with phosmet which resulted in a change in the melting temperature. Molecular docking presented the binding model for BSA-phosmet complex and displayed that non-covalent interactions played a significant role in the binding mechanism.

Abstract
Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy is the main tool for evidencing the formation of inclusion complexes of cyclodextrins with paramagnetic guests, based on changes in the EPR parameters. In-depth information on complexation can only be obtained by a combination of physico-chemical methods. Herein we report on the interaction of three TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine 1-oxyl) type radicals with cyclodextrins by collecting and analysing data provided experimentally by EPR and circular dichroism spectroscopies and theoretically by density functional theory and molecular docking. The study focused on the pH influence on the complexation of three paramagnetic probes with cyclodextrins. The EPR spectra revealed that the type and protonation state of the substituent linked to the TEMPO structure influences the affinity of the paramagnetic group for the cyclodextrin cavity. Neutral radical species favour stronger association with cyclodextrins and inclusion of the nitroxide group into the cavity, especially in the case of 4-carboxy-TEMPO. Induced circular dichroism signals of neutral species varied in sign and intensity as a function of substituent and cyclodextrin type. Density functional theory and molecular docking results supported the experimental data regarding the conformational preferences of TEMPO radicals in complexes with cyclodextrins.

Abstract
Nitroxide-based radicals, having the advantage of firm chemical stability, are usable as probes in the detection of nanoscale details in the chemical environment of various multi-component systems, based on subtle variations in their electron paramagnetic resonance spectra. We propose a systematic walk through the vast area of problems and inquires that are implied by the rationalization of solvent effects on the spectral parameters, by first-principle methods of structural chemistry. Our approach consists of using state-of-the-art procedures, like Density Functional Theory (DFT), on properly designed systems, kept at the border of idealization and chemical realism. Thus, we investigate the case of real solvent molecules intervening in different configurations between two radical molecules, in comparison with radicals taken in vacuum or having the solvent that is treated by surrogate models, such as polarization continuum approximation. In this work, we selected the dichloromethane as solvent and the prototype radicals abbreviated TEMPO ((2,2,6,6-Tetramethylpiperidin-1-yl) oxyl). In another branch of the work, we check the interaction of radicals with large toroidal molecules, β-cyclodextrin, and cucurbit[6]uril, modeling the interaction energy profile at encapsulation. The drawn synoptic view offers valuable rationales for understanding spectroscopy and energetics of nitroxide radicals in various environments, which are specific to soft chemistry.

Abstract
The formation and growth of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were investigated in pH 7 buffer solution of bovine serum albumin (BSA) at room temperature. The processes were monitored by UV-Vis, circular dichroism, Raman and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopies. TEM microscopy and dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements were used to evidence changes in particle size during nanoparticle formation and growth. The formation of AuNPs at pH 7 in the absence of BSA was not observed, which proves that the albumin is involved in the first step of Au(III) reduction. Changes in the EPR spectral features of two spin probes, CAT16 and DIS3, with affinity for BSA and AuNPs, respectively, allowed us to monitor the particle growth and to demonstrate the protective role of BSA for AuNPs. The size of AuNPs formed in BSA solution increases slowly with time, resulting in nanoparticles of different morphologies, as revealed by TEM. Raman spectra of BSA indicate the interaction of albumin with AuNPs through sulfur-containing amino acid residues. This study shows that albumins act as both reducing agents and protective corona of AuNPs.

Abstract
The binding of drugs to serum proteins is governed by weak non-covalent forces. In this study, the nature and magnitude of the interactions between piroxicam (PRX) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was assessed using spectroscopic, calorimetric and computational molecular methods. The fluorescence data revealed an atypical behavior during PRX and BSA interaction. The quenching process of tryptophan (Trp) by PRX is a dual one (approximately equal static and dynamic quenched components). The FRET results indicate that a non-radiative transfer of energy occurred. The association constant and the number of binding sites indicate moderate PRX and BSA binding. The competitive binding study indicates that PRX is bound to site I from the hydrophobic pocket of subdomain IIA of BSA. The synchronous spectra showed that the microenvironment around the BSA fluorophores and protein conformation do not change considerably. The Trp lifetimes revealed that PRX mainly quenches the fluorescence of Trp-213 situated in the hydrophobic domain. The CD and DSC investigation show that addition of PRX stabilizes the protein structure. ITC results revealed that BSA-PRX binding involves a combination of electrostatic, hydrophobic and hydrogen interactions. The analysis of the computational data is consistent with the experimental results. This thorough investigation of the PRX-BSA binding may provide support for other studies concerning moderate affinity drugs with serum protein.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
The binding interactions of the surfactants: anionic sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), cationic cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), non-ionic octyl glucoside (OG), and zwitterionic 3-[Hexadecyl(dimethyl)ammonio]-1-propanesulfonate (HPS), with bovine serum albumin (BSA) were investigated by computer simulation. The results disclosed that the surfactants bound stably between hydrophobic subdomain IIA and IIIA where tryptophan-213 residue, an important intrinsic fluorophore in BSA is housed. The interactions of the surfactants with the BSA were electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions. The head-groups of SDS, HPS and OG formed hydrogen bonds with the BSA, while that of CTAB was shielded from intermolecular hydrogen-bonding due to intervening methyl groups. Subsequently, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation of the protein-surfactant complexes revealed that hydrogen bonds formed by OG were stronger than those of SDS and HPS. However, the decomposed force-field energies showed that OG had the least interaction energy with the BSA. In addition to MD simulation, it was found by density functional theory (DFT) that the differences in the coulomb interaction energies can be attributed to charge distribution in the surfactants. Overall, free energies calculated by linear interaction energy (LIE) proved that the binding of each surfactant was dominated by differences between van der Waals interactions in bound and free states.

Abstract
Self-assembled polypseudorotaxanes (PPRXs) fabricated with α-cyclodextrin and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) or its thiolated derivatives were candidate functional materials for enzyme soft-immobilization, encapsulation and controlled-release. The study of their interaction with Jack bean urease (JBU) indicated that they inconspicuously influenced the activity and stability of JBU during long storage, up to 30 days. The macro-species were inaccessible to JBU's active site and the steric effect might play a significant role in the stabilization of JBU, when compared with the small-molecular sulfhydryl inhibitor thioglycolic acid. Circular dichroism and fluorescence spectra analyses revealed that thiolated PEG400-(SH)2 and its assembly PPRX400(SH) brought in perturbations to certain α-helical or β-sheet domains of JBU, making JBU's conformation more flexible. The resulting partial unfolding of domains exposed several hydrophobic clusters and varied JBU's surface hydrophobicity. It also rendered the chromophores more hydrophilic and more bared to the polar environment, leading to the typical bathochromic-shift and quenching in intrinsic and synchronous fluorescence spectra. Moreover, the surface hydrophobicity profile of JBU was depicted by fluorescent probe monitoring and the unique "hydrophobic cave" motif was proposed by analyzing JBU's structural data from the Protein Data Bank. It should be pointed out that conformational variations mainly occurred at the surface region of JBU, while the buried active bi-nickel center was not markedly influenced by the macro-species. The results demonstrated that the PPRXs might act as a proper carrier for JBU encapsulation or soft-immobilization.

Abstract
Bromo-Noscapine (BrNs) is a tubulin-binding cytotoxic agent with significant activity against breast and lung cancer. The mechanistic interaction insight into the binding of bovine serum albumin (BSA) with BrNs can provide critical information about the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics properties. Here, various spectroscopic techniques and computational methods were employed to understand the dynamics of BrNs and BSA interaction. The intrinsic fluorescence of BSA was quenched by BrNs through a static quenching procedure. The stoichiometry of BrNs-BSA complex was 1:1 and binding constant of the complex was in the order of 103 M−1 at 298 K. Based on thermodynamic analysis, it was deduced that binding process of the BrNs with BSA was spontaneous and exothermic, and the major forces between BrNs and BSA were van der waals forces and hydrogen bonding. Moreover, results of FT-IR, CD, UV spectra concluded significant conformational change in BSA on binding with BrNs. The in vitro findings were further confirmed by in silico assays. Molecular docking showed strong interactions with score of −8.08 kcal/mol. Molecular dynamics simulation analysis also suggested the stable binding with lower deviation in RMSD and RMSF values through persistent long simulation run. This study suggests optimal efficiency of diffusion of the BrNs into the bloodstream for the treatment of cancer.

Abstract
Boron clusters are polyhedral boron hydrides with unique properties, and they are becoming increasingly widely used in biology and medicine, including for boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) of cancers and in the design of novel bioactive molecules and potential drugs. Among boron cluster types, icosahedral boranes, carboranes, and metallacarboranes are particularly interesting, and there is a need for basic studies on their interaction with biologically important molecules, such as proteins. Herein, we report studies on the interaction of selected boron clusters and their derivatives with serum albumin, the most abundant protein in mammalian blood. The interaction of boron clusters with albumin was examined by fluorescence quenching, circular dichroism, dynamic and static light scattering measurements and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Our results showed that metallacarboranes have the strongest interaction with albumin among the tested clusters. The observed strength of boron cluster interactions with albumin decreases in order: metallacarboranes [M(C2B9H11)2]− > carboranes (C2B10H12) >> dodecaborate anion [B12H12]2−. Metallacarboranes first specifically interact with the binding cavity of albumin and then, with increasing compound concentrations, interact non-specifically with the protein surface. These findings can be of importance and are useful in the development of new bioactive compounds that contain boron clusters.

Abstract
Small-angle neutron scattering and dynamic light scattering studies have been carried out to examine the interaction of bovine serum albumin (BSA) protein with different surfactants under varying solution conditions. We show that the interaction of anionic BSA protein (pH7) with surfactant and the resultant structure are strongly modified by the charge head group of the surfactant, ionic strength of the solution, and mixed surfactants. The protein-surfactant interaction is maximum when two components are oppositely charged, followed by components being similarly charged through the site-specific binding, and no interaction in the case of a nonionic surfactant. This interaction of protein with ionic surfactants is characterized by the fractal structure representing a bead-necklace structure of micellelike clusters adsorbed along the unfolded protein chain. The interaction is enhanced with ionic strength only in the case of site-specific binding of an anionic surfactant with an anionic protein, whereas it is almost unchanged for other complexes of cationic and nonionic surfactants with anionic proteins. Interestingly, the interaction of BSA protein with ionic surfactants is significantly suppressed in the presence of nonionic surfactant. These results with mixed surfactants thus can be used to fold back the unfolded protein as well as to prevent surfactant-induced protein unfolding. For different solution conditions, the results are interpreted in terms of a change in fractal dimension, the overall size of the protein-surfactant complex, and the number of micelles attached to the protein. The interplay of electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions is found to govern the resultant structure of complexes.

Abstract
In this work the novel cationic surfactant derived from lysine (S)-5-acetamido-6-(dodecylamino)-N,N,N-trimethyl-6-oxohexan-1-ammonium chloride, LYCl, was prepared and the physicochemical characterization of its aqueous solutions was carried out. The binding of LYCl to bovine serum albumin, BSA, and to double stranded calf thymus DNA, ctDNA, was investigated using several techniques. Results show that LYCl binding to BSA is followed by a decrease in the α-helix content caused by the unfolding of the protein. LYCl association to ctDNA mainly occurs through groove binding and electrostatic interactions. These interactions cause morphological changes in the polynucleotide from an elongated coil structure to a more compact globular structure, resulting in the compaction of ctDNA. Addition of β-cyclodextrin, β-CD, to the BSA-LYCl and ctDNA-LYCl complexes is followed by the refolding of BSA and the decompaction of ctDNA. This can be explained by the ability of β-CD to hinder BSA-LYCl and ctDNA-LYCl interactions due to the stronger and more specific β-CD-LYCl hydrophobic interactions. The stoichiometry of the β-CD:LYCl inclusion complex and its formation equilibrium constant were determined in this work. The reported procedure using β-CD is an efficient way to refold proteins and to decompact DNA, after the morphological changes caused in the biomolecules by their interaction with cationic surfactants.

Abstract
In this study, a simple purification protocol is developed to reduce the bovine serum albumin (BSA) content in commercially available bovine submaxillary mucin (BSM). This involved purification of the BSM by one-column anion-exchange chromatography protocol resulting in BSM with greatly reduced BSA content and homogeneously distributed size, and in a high yield of ∼43% from BSM as received from the manufacturer. The purity and composition of commercially acquired BSM were assessed by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and mass spectrometry, which verified that BSA is the most abundant nonmucinous protein component. The purification effect was evident from a significantly altered circular dichroism (CD) spectrum of BSM after anion-exchange chromatography.

Abstract
Surfactants are widely used in diagnostic assays to prevent protein aggregation and non-specific adsorption at surfaces. Here, a single molecule magnetic torque tweezers study is reported, aiming to quantify surfactant-induced changes in the torsional flexibility of a protein model system: protein-G-immunoglobulin G (IgG) attached to a glass surface. The influences of Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate (SDS) and Polysorbate 20 (Tween 20) on the protein pair have been investigated. The proteins were exposed to the surfactants at concentrations relative to the Critical Micelle Concentration (CMC), namely 0.1× CMC, 1× CMC and 10× CMC. Both surfactants increase the torsional flexibility of the protein-G-IgG complex. Tween 20 is most effective at increasing the torsional flexibility of the complex at the surface while SDS is more effective at dissociating the protein bonds. Tweezer data on the IgG-IgG protein pair show no influence of Tween 20 on the torsional flexibility. Furthermore, temperature dependent near-UV and far-UV Circular Dichroism (CD) data at 10× CMC show that Tween 20 does not significantly alter the secondary and tertiary structure of both protein-G and IgG while SDS does. These results provide evidence that both the mechanical properties of the protein structure and the interaction between proteins can alter the torsional rigidity measured with magnetic torque tweezers. This study shows for the first time the ability to use magnetic torque tweezers as a probe for surfactant-induced changes in proteins at a single molecule level.

Abstract
Luminescent transition metal complexes are introduced for the microcontact printing of optoelectronic devices. Novel ruthenium(II), RubpySS, osmium(II), OsbpySS, and cyclometalated iridium(III), IrbpySS, bipyridyl complexes with long spacers between the surface-active groups and the metal were developed to reduce the distance-dependent, nonradiative quenching pathways by the gold surface. Indeed, surface-immobilized RubpySS and IrbpySS display strong red and green luminescence, respectively, on planar gold surfaces with luminescence lifetimes of 210 ns (RubpySS·Au) and 130 and 12 ns (83%, 17%) (IrbpySS·Au). The modified surfaces show enhancement of their luminescence lifetime in comparison with solutions of the respective metal complexes, supporting the strong luminescence signal observed and introducing them as ideal inorganic probes for imaging applications. Through the technique of microcontact printing, complexes were assembled in patterns defined by the stamp. Images of the red and green patterns rendered by the RubpySS·Au and IrbpySS·Au monolayers were revealed by luminescence microscopy studies. The potential of the luminescent surfaces to respond to biomolecular recognition events is demonstrated by addition of the dominant blood-pool protein, bovine serum albumin (BSA). Upon treatment of the surface with a BSA solution, the RubpySS·Au and IrbpySS·Au monolayers display a large luminescence signal increase, which can be quantified by time-resolved measurements. The interaction of BSA was also demonstrated by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) studies of the surfaces and in solution by circular dichroism spectroscopy (CD). Overall, the assembly of arrays of designed coordination complexes using a simple and direct μ-contact printing method is demonstrated in this study and represents a general route toward the manufacture of micropatterned optoelectronic devices designed for sensing applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The serum albumins (human and bovine serum albumin) occupy a seminal position among all proteins investigated until today as they are the most abundant circulatory proteins. They play the major role of a transporter of many bio-active substances which include various fatty acids, drug molecules, and amino acids to the target cells. Hence, studying the interaction of these serum albumins with different binding agents has attracted enormous research interests from decades. The nature and magnitude of these bindings have direct consequence on drug delivery, pharmacokinetics, therapeutic efficacy and drug design and control. SCOPE OF THE REVIEW In the present review, we summarize the binding characteristics of both the serum albumins with surfactants, lipids and vesicles, polymers and dendrimers, nanomaterials and drugs. Finally we have reviewed the effect of various chemical and physical denaturants on these albumins with a special emphasis on protein unfolding and refolding dynamics. MAJOR CONCLUSIONS The topic of binding and dynamics of protein unfolding and refolding spans across all areas of inter-disciplinary sciences and will benefit clinical toxicology and medicines. The extensive data from several contemporary research based on albumins will help us to understand protein dynamics in a more illustrious manner. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE These data have immense significance in understanding and unravelling the mechanisms of protein unfolding/refolding and thus can pave the way to prevent protein mis-folding/aggregation which sometimes leads to severe consequences like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases. This article is a part of a Special Issue entitled Serum Albumin. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled Serum Albumin.
