Molecules 2023; 29:118.

Abstract
A facial and efficient method for the screening of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors by capillary electrophoresis was developed. Based on the specific affinity of concanavalin A (Con A) for binding to the glycosyl group of AChE, enzyme molecules were oriented-immobilized on the surface of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs@Con A@AChE). Then, these modified nanoparticles were bounded to the capillary inlet (about 1.0 cm) by electrostatic self-assembly to obtain the oriented-immobilized enzyme microreactor (OIMER). Compared to an IMER with a free enzyme, the peak area of the product obtained by the OIMER increased by 52.6%. The Michaelis-Menten constant (Km) was as low as (0.061 ± 0.003) mmol/L. The method exhibits good repeatability with a relative standard deviation (RSD) of 1.3% for 100 consecutive runs. The system was successfully applied to detect the IC50 values of donepezil and four components from Chinese medicinal plants. This work demonstrates the potential of this method as a low cost, simple, and accurate screening method for other enzyme inhibitors.

Functionalization of Silicone Surface with Drugs and Polymers for Regulation of Capsular Contracture. Polymers (Basel) 2021; 13:polym13162731. [PMID: 34451270 PMCID: PMC8400777 DOI: 10.3390/polym13162731] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2021] [Revised: 08/12/2021] [Accepted: 08/12/2021] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Breast reconstruction is achieved using silicone implants, which are currently associated with major complications. Several strategies have been considered to overcome the existing limitations as well as to improve their performance. Recently, surface modification has proved to be an effective clinical approach to prevent bacterial adhesion, reduce capsular thickness, prevent foreign body reactions, and reduce other implant-associated problems. This review article summarizes the ongoing strategies for the surface modification of silicone implants in breast reconstruction applications. The article mostly discusses two broad categories of surface modification: drug-mediated and polymer-based. Different kinds of drugs have been applied with silicone that are associated with breast reconstruction. Initially, this article discusses studies related to drugs immobilized on silicone implants, focusing on drug-loading methods and their effects on capsule contracture. Moreover, the pharmacological action of drugs on fibroblast cells is considered in this section. Next, the polymeric modification of the silicone surface is introduced, and we discuss its role in reducing capsule thickness at the cellular and biological levels. The polymeric modification techniques, their chemistry, and their physical properties are described in detail. Notably, polymer activities on macrophages and inflammation are also briefly discussed. Each of the reviewed articles is summarized, highlighting their discussion of capsular thickness, foreign body reactions, and bacterial attachment. The aim of this review is to provide the main points of some research articles regarding the surface modification of silicon, which can lead to a decrease in capsular thickness and provides better patient compliance.

Evaluating the activity and stability of sonochemically produced hemoglobin-copper hybrid nanoflowers against some metallic ions, organic solvents, and inhibitors. J Biosci Bioeng 2021; 132:327-336. [PMID: 34334311 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbiosc.2021.06.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2021] [Revised: 06/04/2021] [Accepted: 06/09/2021] [Indexed: 01/10/2023]
Abstract
The disadvantage of the conventional protein-inorganic hybrid nanoflower production method is the long incubation period of the synthesis method. This period is not suitable for practical industrial use. Herein, protein-inorganic hybrid nanoflowers were synthesized using hemoglobin and copper ion by fast sonication method for 10 min. The synthesized nanoflowers were characterized via scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Fouirer-transform infrared spectroscopy. The activity and stability of the nanoflowers in the presence of different metal ions, organic solvents, inhibitors, and storage conditions were also evaluated by comparing with free hemoglobin. According to obtained results, the optimum pH and temperatures of both hybrid nanoflower and free hemoglobin were pH 5 and 40 °C, respectively. At all pH levels, nanoflower was more stable than free protein and it was also more stable than the free hemoglobin at temperatures ranging between 50 °C and 80 °C. The free protein lost more than half of its activity in the presence of acetone, benzene, and N,N-dimethylformamide, while the hybrid nanoflower retained more than 70% of its activity for 2 h at 40 °C. The hybrid nanoflower activity was essentially increased in the presence of Ca2+, Zn2+, Fe2+, Cu2+ and Ni2+ (132%, 161%, 175%, 185% and 106%, respectively) at 5 mM concentration. The nanoflower retained more than 85% of its initial activity in the presence of all inhibitors. In addition, it retained all its activity for 3 days under different storage conditions, unlike free hemoglobin. The results demonstrated that new hybrid nanoflowers may be promising in different biotechnological applications such as catalytic biosensors and environmental or industrial catalytic processes.

Abstract
This study defines the lipase immobilization protocol and enzymatic kinetic resolution of 1-phenyl ethanol with the use of immobilized lipases (LI) as a biocatalyst. Commercially available lipase Candida antarctica B (Cal-B) was immobilized onto graphene oxide (GO), iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles, and graphene oxide/iron oxide (GO/Fe3O4) nanocomposites. Characterization of pure and enzyme-loaded supports was carried out by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The influences of pH, temperature, immobilization time, crosslinker concentration, glutaraldehyde (GLA), epichlorohydrin (EPH), and surfactant concentrations (Tween 80 and Triton X-100) on the catalytic activity were evaluated for these three immobilized biocatalysts. The highest immobilized enzyme activities were 15.03 U/mg, 14.72 U/mg, and 13.56 U/mg for GO-GLA-CalB, Fe3O4-GLA-CalB, and GO/Fe3O4-GLA-CalB, respectively. Moreover, enantioselectivity and reusability of these immobilized lipases were compared for the kinetic resolution of 1-phenyl ethanol, using toluene as organic solvent and vinyl acetate as acyl donor. The highest values of enantiomeric excess (ees = 99%), enantioselectivity (E = 507.74), and conversion (c = 50.73%) were obtained by using lipase immobilized onto graphene oxide (GO-GLA-CalB). It was obtained that this enzymatic process may be repeated five times without important loss of enantioselectivity.

Abstract
We present a methodology to fabricate one-dimensional porous silicon (PSi) photonic crystals in the visible range by controlled etching and monitored by photoacoustics. Photoacoustic can record in-situ information about changes in the optical path and chemical reaction as well as in temperature, refractive index, and roughness during porous layers formation. Radiometry imaging can determine the carrier distribution of c-Si substrate that is a fundamental parameter to obtain high-quality PSi films. An electrochemical cell was calibrated through a series of single PSi layers that allows knowing the PA amplitude period, porosity, and roughness as a function of the current density. Optical properties of single layers were determined using the reflectance response in the UV-Vis range to solve the inverse problem through genetic algorithms. PhC structures were designed using the transfer matrix method and effective media approximation.Based on the growth kinetics of PSi single layers, those structures were fabricated by electrochemical etching monitored and controlled by in-situ photoacoustics.

Capillary electrophoresis-immobilized enzyme microreactors for acetylcholinesterase assay with surface modification by highly-homogeneous microporous layer. J Chromatogr A 2019; 1609:460454. [PMID: 31443966 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2019.460454] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2019] [Revised: 08/04/2019] [Accepted: 08/12/2019] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
We propose a new capillary electrophoresis (CE)-based open-tubular immobilized enzyme microreactor (OT-IMER) and its application in acetylcholinesterase (AChE) assays. The IMER is fabricated at the capillary inlet (reactor length of ∼1 cm) with the inner surface modified by a micropore-structured layer (thickness of ∼220 nm, pore size of ∼15-20 nm). The use of IMER accomplishes the enzymatic reaction and separation/detection of the products in the same capillary within 3 min. The feasibility of the proposed method is evaluated via online analysis of the activity and inhibition of AChE enzymes. Such method exhibits good reproducibility with relative standard deviation (RSD) of less than 4% for 20 runs, and the enzyme remains over 82% of the initial activity after usage of 7 days. The IMERs are successfully applied to detect the organophosphorus pesticide, paraoxon, in three types of vegetable juice samples with a limit of detection of as low as 61 ng mL-1. Results show that the spiked samples are in the range of 89.6-105.9% with RSD less than 2.7%, thereby indicating its satisfactory level of accurate and reliable analysis of real samples by using the proposed method. Our study indicates that, with combination of advantages of both porous-layer capillary and CE OT-IMER, the proposed method is capable to enhance enzymatic reactions and to achieve rapid analysis with simple instrumentation and operation, thus would pave the way for extensive application of CE-based IMERs in a variety of bioanalysis.

Abstract
Hybrid and composite nanoparticles represent an attractive material for enzyme integration due to possible synergic advantages of the structural builders in the properties of the nanobiocatalyst. In this study, we report the synthesis of a new stable hybrid nanobiocatalyst formed by biomimetic silica (Si) nanoparticles entrapping both Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) (EC 1.11.1.7) and magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs). We have demonstrated that tailoring of the synthetic reagents and post immobilization treatments greatly impacted physical and biocatalytic properties such as an unprecedented ~280 times increase in the half-life time in thermal stability experiments. The optimized nanohybrid biocatalyst that showed superparamagnetic behaviour, was effective in the batch conversion of indole-3-acetic acid, a prodrug used in Direct Enzyme Prodrug Therapy (DEPT). Our system, that was not cytotoxic per se, showed enhanced cytotoxic activity in the presence of the prodrug towards HCT-116, a colorectal cancer cell line. The strategy developed proved to be effective in obtaining a stabilized nanobiocatalyst combining three different organic/inorganic materials with potential in DEPT and other biotechnological applications.

Abstract
Porous silica-based materials are attractive for biomedical applications due to their biocompatibility and biodegradable character. In addition, inorganic supports such as porous silicon are being developed due to integrated circuit chip compatibility and tunable properties leading to a wide range of multidisciplinary applications. In this contribution, biosilica extracted from a rarely studied plant material (Equisetum Myriochaetum), its conversion to silicon and the potential for both materials to be used as supports for enzyme immobilization are investigated. E. myriochaetum was subject to conventional acid digestion to extract biogenic silica with a% yield remarkably higher (up to 3 times) than for other Equisetum sp. (i.e. E. Arvense). The surface area of the isolated silica was ∼400 m2/g, suitable for biotechnological applications. Biogenic silicon was obtained by magnesiothermic reduction. The materials were characterized by SEM-EDX, XRD, FT-IR, ICP-OES, TGA and BET analysis and did not contain significant levels of class 1 heavy elements (such as Pb, Cd, Hg and As). Two commercial peroxidases, horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and Coprinus cinereus peroxidase (CiP) were immobilized onto the biogenic materials using three different functionalization routes: (A) carbodiimide, (B) amine + glutaraldehyde and (C) amine + carbodiimide. Although both biogenic silica and porous silicon could be used as supports differences in behaviour were observed for the two enzymes. For HRP, loading onto biogenic silica via the glutaraldehyde immobilization technique (route B) was most effective. The loading of CiP showed a much higher peroxidase activity onto porous silicon than silica functionalized by the carbodiimide method (route A). From the properties of the extracted materials obtained from Equisetum Myriochaetum and the immobilization results observed, these materials appear to be promising for industrial and biomedical applications.

Abstract
Plasmonic enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (pELISA) based on catalase (CAT)-mediated gold nanoparticle growth exhibits ultrahigh sensitivity for detecting disease-related biomarkers using sandwich formats. However, the limit of detection (LOD) of this strategy for Listeria monocytogenes is only around 10(3) CFU/mL, which considerably exceeds the amount of L. monocytogenes commonly present in food products (<100 CFU/g). Herein, we report an improved pELISA method for detection of L. monocytogenes at ultralow concentrations with the sandwich formats using silica nanoparticles carrying poly(acrylic acid) brushes as a "CAT container" to increase enzyme loading for enhancing the detection signal. Under optimal conditions, the proposed pELISA exhibits good specificity and excellent sensitivity for L. monocytogenes with a LOD of 8 × 10(1) CFU/mL in 0.01 M phosphate-buffered saline, via a reaction that can be discriminated by the naked eye. The LOD obtained by this method was 2 and 5 orders of magnitude lower than that of conventional CAT-based pELISA and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-based conventional ELISA, respectively. Coupled with large-volume immunomagnetic separation, the LOD for L. monocytogenes-spiked lettuce samples reached 8 × 10(1) CFU/g. The improved pELISA also exhibited a great potential in detecting a single cell of L. monocytogenes in 100 μL of solution.
