Abstract
Bioluminescent gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were synthesized in situ using dithiol-terminated polyethylene glycol (PEG(SH)2) as reducer and stabilizing agents. Hybrid Au/F3O4 nanoparticles were also produced in a variation of synthesis, and both types of nanostructures had the polymer capping replaced by L-cysteine (Cys). The four types of nanoparticles, PEG(SH)2AuNPs, PEG(SH)2Au/F3O4NPs, CysAuNPs, and CysAu/F3O4NPs were associated with purified recombinant Pyrearinus termitilluminans green emitting click beetle luciferase (PyLuc) and Phrixotrix hirtus (RELuc) red-emitting railroad worm luciferase. Enzyme association with PEG(SH)2 was also investigated as a control. Luciferases were chosen because they catalyze bioluminescent reactions used in a wide range of bioanalytical applications, including ATP assays, gene reporting, high-throughput screening, bioluminescence imaging, biosensors and other bioluminescence-based assays. The immobilization of PyLuc and RELuc promoted partial suppression of the enzyme luminescence activity in a functionalization-dependent way. Association of PyLuc and RELuc with AuNPs increased the enzyme operational stability in relation to the free enzyme, as evidenced by the luminescence intensity from 0 to 7 h after substrate addition. The stability of the immobilized enzymes was also functionalization-dependent and the association with CysAuNPs was the condition that combined more sustained luminescent activity with a low degree of luminescence quenching. The higher enzymatic stability and sustained luminescence of luciferases associated with nanoparticles may improve the applicability of bioluminescence for bioimaging and biosensing purposes.

Abstract
Amperometric nanobiosensors are crucial time and cost effective analytical tools for the detection of a wide range of bioanalytes, viz. glucose present in complex environments at very low concentrations. Although the excellent analytical performance of nanobiosensors is undoubted, their exact molecular structure often remains unclear. Here, by combining advanced nanoanalytical approaches with theoretical modeling, we conducted a comprehensive study towards the investigation of the molecular structure of a hybrid GOx/Nafion/Pd-NPs layer deposited by electroplating from the multicomponent electrolyte solution on the surface of screen printed electrodes modified with graphene oxide. Specifically, we revealed that Pd2+ cations were adsorbed on GOx amino acid residues, forming the GOx·nPd2+ enzymatic complex. The highest adsorption energy of Pd2+ cations on GOx was found during their interaction with the side chains of basic amino acids and methionine. In addition, we showed and fully validated the end-structure of the one-step designed GOx/Nafion/Pd-NPs nanobiosensor as a structural model mainly composed of GOx and water molecules incorporated into the metal-polymer scaffold. Our approach will thus serve as a guideline for the study of molecular interactions occurring in complex systems and will contribute to the design of the next generation of hybrid nanobiosensors. The proposed mechanism, driving the self-assembly of the hybrid layer, will allow us to construct modular enzymatic nanoanalytical devices with tailored sequences in the future.

Abstract
Metal nanoparticles synthesized by green methods with the use of microorganisms are currently one of the most closely studied types of nanomaterials. It has accurately been shown that the characteristics of metal nanoparticles generated in the presence of different bacteria vary. For the two isogenic strains of obligate methylotrophic bacteria of the wild type (M. quaylei MTT) and its streptomycin-resistant mutant (M. quaylei SMR), the pleiotropic character of streptomycin resistance mutation in the SMR cells has been revealed. It has been shown that both cultures can generate silver nanoparticles. There is a dramatic difference in the formation of palladium nanoparticles, which are formed only in the presence of cells of the streptomycin-resistant mutant M. quaylei SMR. This study shows that closely related isogenic strains of obligate methylotrophic bacteria can be distinguished by the spectra of biogenic nanoparticles of two noble metals. While palladium nanoparticles are only generated by the cells of the streptomycin-resistant mutant M. quaylei SMR, biogenic silver nanoparticles can be generated from both cultures. Thus, the assessment of the ability of microorganisms to form biogenic nanoparticles of different metals allows the revelation of subtle metabolic differences of even close cultures.

Abstract
The metallopeptidases thimet oligopeptidase (THOP, EC 3.4.24.25) and neurolysin (NEL, EC 3.4.24.26) are enzymes that belong to the zinc endopeptidase M13 family. Numerous studies suggest that these peptidases participate in the processing of bioactive peptides such as angiotensins and bradykinin. Efforts have been conducted to develop biotechnological tools to make possible the use of both proteases to regulate blood pressure in mice, mainly limited by the low plasmatic stability of the enzymes. In the present study, it was investigated the use of nanotechnology as an efficient strategy for to circumvent the low stability of the proteases. Recombinant THOP and NEL were immobilized in gold nanoparticles (GNPs) synthesized in situ using HEPES and the enzymes as reducing and stabilizing agents. The formation of rTHOP-GNP and rNEL-GNP was characterized by the surface plasmon resonance band, zeta potential and atomic force microscopy. The gain of structural stability and activity of rTHOP and rNEL immobilized on GNPs was demonstrated by assays using fluorogenic substrates. The enzymes were also efficiently immobilized on GNPs fabricated with sodium borohydride. The efficient immobilization of the oligopeptidases in gold nanoparticles with gain of stability may facilitate the use of the enzymes in therapies related to pressure regulation and stroke, and as a tool for studying the physiological and pathological roles of both proteases.

Effects of Gold Salt Speciation and Structure of Human and Bovine Serum Albumins on the Synthesis and Stability of Gold Nanostructures. Front Chem 2016; 4:13.

Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate the influence of albumin structure and gold speciation on the synthesis of gold nanoparticles (GNPs). The strategy of synthesis was the addition of HAuCl4 solutions at different pH values (3–12) to solutions of human and bovine serum albumins (HSA and BSA) at the same corresponding pH values. Different pH values influence the GNP synthesis due to gold speciation. Besides the inherent effect of pH on the native structure of albumins, the use N-ethylmaleimide (NEM)-treated and heat-denaturated forms of HSA and BSA provided additional insights about the influence of protein structure, net charge, and thiol group approachability on the GNP synthesis. NEM treatment, heating, and the extreme values of pH promoted loss of the native albumin structure. The formation of GNPs indicated by the appearance of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) bands became detectable from 15 days of the synthesis processes that were carried out with native, NEM-treated and heat-denaturated forms of HSA and BSA, exclusively at pH 6 and 7. After 2 months of incubation, SPR band was also detected for all synthesis carried out at pH 8.0. The mean values of the hydrodynamic radius (RH) were 24 and 34 nm for GNPs synthesized with native HSA and BSA, respectively. X-ray diffraction (XRD) revealed crystallites of 13 nm. RH, XRD, and zeta potential values were consistent with GNP capping by the albumins. However, the GNPs produced with NEM-treated and heat-denaturated albumins exhibited loss of protein capping by lowering the ionic strength. This result suggests a significant contribution of non-electrostatic interactions of albumins with the GNP surface, in these conditions. The denaturation of proteins exposes hydrophobic groups to the solvent, and these groups could interact with the gold surface. In these conditions, the thiol blockage or oxidation, the latter probably favored upon heating, impaired the formation of a stable capping by thiol coordination with the gold surface. Therefore, the cysteine side chain of albumins is important for the colloidal stabilization of GNPs rather than as the reducing agent for the synthesis. Despite the presence of more reactive gold species at more acidic pH values, i.e., below 6.0, in these conditions the loss of native albumin structure impaired GNP synthesis. Alkaline pH values (9–12) combined the unfavorable conditions of denaturated protein structure with less reactive gold species. Therefore, an optimal condition for the synthesis of GNPs using serum albumins involves more reactive gold salt species combined with a reducing and negatively charged form of the protein, all favored at pH 6–7.

Abstract
Although the formation mechanism of biogenically metallic nanoparticles is broadly associated to enzyme mediation, major attention has been given to the role of proteins and peptides in oxido-reduction of metallic ions leading to these nanostructures. Among the wide range of biomolecules that can act not only as capping agents but also as non-enzymatic agents to form nanoparticles, disulphide bridge-containing peptides and amino acids particularly stand out. The literature proposes that they actively participate in the process of nanoparticles' synthesis, with thiols groups and disulphide bridge moieties as the reaction catalytic sites. Similarly, denaturated enzymes containing exposed S-S or S-H moieties are also able to reduce metallic ions to form nanoparticles. This mini-review is focused on the biogenic synthesis of metallic nanoparticles such as gold, silver, copper, platinum, palladium, lead and selenium, in which proteins, peptides, reductases and even oxido-reductases act as non-enzymatic catalysts of the reduction reaction, opening economically and ecologically favourable perspectives in the nanoparticles synthesis field.

Abstract
The interaction of proteins in living cells is one of the key processes in the maintenance of their homeostasis. Introduction of additional agents into the chain of these interactions may influence homeostatic processes. Recent advances in nanotechnologies have led to a wide use of nanoparticles (NPs) in industrial and biomedical applications. NPs are small enough to enter almost all compartments of the body, including cells and organelles, and to complicate the pattern of protein interactions. In some cases, interaction of nanoscale objects with proteins leads to hazardous consequences, such as abnormal conformational changes leading to exposure of cryptic peptide epitopes or the appearance of abnormal functions caused by structural modifications. In addition, the high local protein concentration resulting from protein adsorption on NPs may provoke avidity effects arising from close spatial repetition of the same protein. Finally, the interaction of NPs with proteins is known to induce cooperative effects, such as promotion or inhibition of protein fibrillation or self-assembling of NPs on macromolecules serving as a template. It is obvious that better understanding of the molecular mechanisms of nano-bio interactions is crucial for further advances in all nanotechnological applications. This review summarizes recent progress in understanding the molecular mechanisms of the interactions between proteins or peptides and NPs in order to predict the structural, functional, and/or nanotoxic consequences of these interactions.
