Abstract
In photodynamic therapy (PDT), light-sensitive photosensitizers produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) after irradiation in the presence of oxygen. Atomically-precise thiolate-protected gold nanoclusters are molecule-like nanostructures with discrete energy levels presenting long lifetimes, surface biofunctionality, and strong near-infrared excitation ideal for ROS generation in PDT. We directly compare thiolate-gold macromolecular complexes (Au10) and atomically-precise gold nanoclusters (Au25), and investigate the influence of ligands on their photoexcitation. With the ability of atomically-precise nanochemistry, we produce Au10SG10, Au10AcCys10, Au25SG18, and Au25AcCys18 (SG: glutathione; AcCys: N-acetyl-cysteine) fully characterized by high-resolution mass spectrometry. Our theoretical investigation reveals key factors (energetics of excited states and structural influence of surface ligands) and their relative importance in singlet oxygen formation upon one- and two-photon excitation. Finally, we explore ROS generation by gold nanoclusters in living cells with one- and two-photon excitation. Our study presents in-depth analyses of events within gold nanoclusters when photo-excited both in the linear and nonlinear optical regimes, and possible biological consequences in cells.

Abstract
The controllable preparation of ligand-protected clusters is still an unresolved problem, which may be due to that their formation mechanism is unclear. We propose that the ligand is the key to solve the above problems. Here, by using p-, m-, and o-methylbenzenethiol ligand protected gold clusters as examples, we try to explore the effect of ligand structures on ligand-protected gold clusters. The geometrical structures, relative stabilities and surface properties of small-sized ligand-protected gold clusters [Au-SR]1-8 (SR = p-/m-/o-MBT) have been systematically studied based on the density functional theory. The results show that the ground state structures of [Au-SR]1-8 clusters tend to form closed rings except for [Au-SR]1,2. The different structures of ligand have significant effect on the structures and stabilities of ligand-protected clusters. By analyzing their surface properties and possible growth patterns, it is found that [Au-SR]1,2 clusters serve as the basic building blocks, and the larger clusters can be regarded as the combinations of them. This study provides some insights into the effect of ligands on ligand-protected clusters, which is useful for understanding the formation mechanism of ligand-protected clusters.

Abstract
The purpose of the current study is to uncover the impact of small liganded gold nanoclusters with 10 gold atoms and 10 glutathione ligands (Au10SG10) on several biomarkers in human microglia. We established the links connecting the atomically precise structure of Au10SG10 with their properties and changes in several biomolecules under oxidative stress. Au10SG10 caused the loss of mitochondrial metabolic activity, increased lipid peroxidation and translocation of an alarmin molecule, high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), from the nucleus to the cytosol. Molecular modeling provided an insight into the location of amino acid interaction sites with Au10SG10 and the nature of bonds participating in these interactions. We show that Au10SG10 can bind directly to the defined sites of reduced, oxidized, and acetylated HMGB1. Further studies with similar complementary approaches merging live-cell analyses, determination of biomarkers, and cell functions could lead to optimized gold nanoclusters best suited for diagnostic and bioimaging purposes in neuroscience.

Abstract
The nature of closed-shell AuI···AuI attraction is still a conundrum in theoretical chemistry. However, for Au2F2 with a zigzag conformation, the d10-d10 closed-shell interaction between the AuF monomers is demonstrated as a coordinate covalent bond. Chemical bonding analysis reveals that the strong AuI···AuI attraction is caused by the participation of the extraordinary active 5d orbital of Au. Based on our study, one of the 5d orbitals of the Au atom is activated to hybridize with its 6s and 6p orbitals to form hybridized dsp2 orbitals, where each Au atom is both an electron donor (Lewis base) and acceptor (Lewis Acid) in dimerization. Actually, the closed-shell AuI···AuI interaction in the zigzag conformation of Au2X2 (X = F, Cl, Br, I, or NH2) is covalent. Our results provide a rather simple but clear-cut example, where mysterious AuI···AuI attractions can be possibly explained by the covalent bond theory.

Abstract
We present a [Au7(SR)7] ring as a new type of protection ligand in a new atomic structure of Au15(SR)13 nanocluster for the first time based on the ring model developed to understand how interfacial interaction dictates the structures of protection motifs and gold cores in thiolate-protected gold nanoclusters. This new Au15(SR)13 model shows a tetrahedral Au4 core protected by one [Au7(SR)7] ring and two [Au2(SR)3] "staple" motifs. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations show that the newly predicted Au15(SR)13 (R = CH3/Ph) has a lower energy of 0.24/0.68 eV than previously proposed isomers. By comparing calculated optical absorption spectra (UV), circular dichroism (CD) spectra, and powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns with related experimental spectra, the calculated CD spectra of the newly predicted Au15(SR)13 (R = CH3/Ph) cannot reproduce the experimental results, indicating that the newly predicted Au15(SR)13 is a new structure that needs to be confirmed by experiment. In addition, DFT calculations also show that the newly predicted Au15(SR)13 (R = CH3/Ph) exhibits a large HOMO-LUMO gap, suggesting its high chemical stability. The proposition of the [Au7(SR)7] ring as a protection ligand in the newly predicted Au15(SR)13 not only enriches the types of protection ligands in thiolate-protected gold nanoclusters but also further confirms the effectiveness and rationality of the ring model for understanding the interfacial interaction between the protection motifs and gold cores in thiolate-protected gold nanoclusters.

Abstract
The emergence of atomically precise metal nanoclusters with unique electronic structures provides access to currently inaccessible catalytic challenges at the single-electron level. We investigate the catalytic behavior of gold Au25 (SR)18 nanoclusters by monitoring an incoming and outgoing free valence electron of Au 6s1 . Distinct performances are revealed: Au25 (SR)18 - is generated upon donation of an electron to neutral Au25 (SR)18 0 and this is associated with a loss in reactivity, whereas Au25 (SR)18 + is generated from dislodgment of an electron from neutral Au25 (SR)18 0 with a loss in stability. The reactivity diversity of the three Au25 (SR)18 clusters stems from different affinities with reactants and the extent of intramolecular charge migration during the reactions, which are closely associated with the valence occupancies of the clusters varied by one electron. The stability difference in the three clusters is attributed to their different equilibria, which are established between the AuSR dissociation and polymerization influenced by one electron.

Abstract
Thiolate-protected metal nanoclusters have highly size- and structure-dependent physicochemical properties and are a promising class of nanomaterials. As a consequence, for the rationalization of their synthesis and for the design of new clusters with tailored properties, a precise characterization of their composition and structure at the atomic level is required. We report a combined ion mobility-mass spectrometry approach with density functional theory (DFT) calculations for determination of the structural and optical properties of ultra-small gold nanoclusters protected by thioglycolic acid (TGA) as ligand molecules, Au10(TGA)10. Collision cross-section (CCS) measurements are reported for two charge states. DFT optimized geometrical structures are used to compute CCSs. The comparison of the experimentally- and theoretically-determined CCSs allows concluding that such nanoclusters have catenane structures.

Abstract
An increased synergy between experimental and theoretical investigations in heterogeneous catalysis has become apparent during the last decade. Experimental work has extended from ultra-high vacuum and low temperature towards operando conditions. These developments have motivated the computational community to move from standard descriptive computational models, based on inspection of the potential energy surface at 0 K and low reactant concentrations (0 K/UHV model), to more realistic conditions. The transition from 0 K/UHV to operando models has been backed by significant developments in computer hardware and software over the past few decades. New methodological developments, designed to overcome part of the gap between 0 K/UHV and operando conditions, include (i) global optimization techniques, (ii) ab initio constrained thermodynamics, (iii) biased molecular dynamics, (iv) microkinetic models of reaction networks and (v) machine learning approaches. The importance of the transition is highlighted by discussing how the molecular level picture of catalytic sites and the associated reaction mechanisms changes when the chemical environment, pressure and temperature effects are correctly accounted for in molecular simulations. It is the purpose of this review to discuss each method on an equal footing, and to draw connections between methods, particularly where they may be applied in combination.

Zhang P, Zhai J, Gao X, Zhao H, Su W, Zhao L. Targeted peptide-Au cluster binds to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in both active and inactive states: a clue for cancer inhibition through dual pathways. Sci Bull (Beijing) 2018; 63:349-355. [PMID: 36658871 DOI: 10.1016/j.scib.2018.02.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2017] [Revised: 01/13/2018] [Accepted: 01/18/2018] [Indexed: 01/21/2023]
Abstract
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) has become an important target protein in anticancer drug development. Meanwhile, peptide-Au cluster has been proposed as potential targeted nano-drug assembled by targeting peptide. Here, we designed and synthesized a novel peptide-Au cluster as Au10Peptide5 to target to EGFR. We found Au10Peptide5 could target to the natural binding sites of all EGFRs at membrane in both active and inactive states by molecular simulations. Its targeted ability was further verified by the co-localization and blocking experiments. We also study the configuration modifications of both active and inactive EGFRs after binding by Au10Peptide5. For active EGFR, the absorbed Au10Peptide5 might replace the natural ligand in EGFR endocytosis process. Then, the peptide-Au cluster in endochylema could inhibit the cancer relating enzyme activity including thioredoxin reductase1 (TrxR1) and induce the oxidative stress mediated apoptosis in tumor cells. For inactive EGFR, it was retained in inactive state by Au10Peptide5 binding to inhibit dimerization of EGFR for anticancer. Both pathways might be applied in anticancer drug development based on the theoretical and experimental study here.

Abstract
CCSD(T) calculations were performed to investigate the stabilities and interaction mechanisms of the AgRnX and XAgRn (X = F - I) series. Dissociation energies and frontier orbital properties demonstrate an increased trend of stabilities. Ag spd hybrids and Rn/X sp hybrids come into the σAg-Rn and σAg-X bonding orbital. The nature of Ag-Rn, Ag-X and Rn-X interactions were investigated by atoms in molecules (AIM) theory. The negative energy density and positive Laplacian values, as well as small electron densities at bond critical points (BCPs), characterize the moderate strength with partial covalence of interactions. BCP properties (-G/V and G/ρ), electron density deformations and natural resonance theory (NRT) results display increased covalence down the periodic table.

Abstract
We report facile synthesis of the Au10(SG)10 nanoclusters, where SG stands for glutathione, found to be promising as a new class of radiosensitizers for cancer radiotherapy. The homoleptic catenane structure with two Au5SG5 interconnected rings, among different isomer structures, gives the best agreement between theoretical and experimental optical spectra and XRD patterns. This catenane structure exhibits a centrosymmetry-broken structure, resulting in enhanced second harmonic response and new characteristic circular dichroism signals in the spectral region of 250-400 nm. This is the first determination of the nonlinear optical properties of a ligated cluster with an equal Au-to-ligand ratio, thus without a metallic core and therefore zero confined electrons. Insight into the nonlinear and chiroptical efficiencies arising from interplay between structural and electronic properties is provided by the TD-DFT approach.
