Mass spectrometric detection of nanoparticle host-guest interactions in cells.

ABSTRACT: Synthetic host-guest chemistry is a versatile tool for biomedical applications. Characterization and detection of host-guest complexes in biological systems, however, is challenging due to the complexity of the biological milieu. Here, we describe and apply a mass spectrometric method to monitor the association and dissociation of nanoparticle (NP)-based host-guest interactions that integrates NP-assisted laser desorption/ionization (LDI) and matrix assisted laser desoption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry. This LDI/MALDI approach reveals how NP surface functionality affects host-guest interactions in cells, information difficult to achieve using other techniques.

Mechanical stimulation of single cells by reversible host-guest interactions in 3D microscaffolds.

Project description:Many essential cellular processes are regulated by mechanical properties of their microenvironment. Here, we introduce stimuli-responsive composite scaffolds fabricated by three-dimensional (3D) laser lithography to simultaneously stretch large numbers of single cells in tailored 3D microenvironments. The key material is a stimuli-responsive photoresist containing cross-links formed by noncovalent, directional interactions between β-cyclodextrin (host) and adamantane (guest). This allows reversible actuation under physiological conditions by application of soluble competitive guests. Cells adhering in these scaffolds build up initial traction forces of ~80 nN. After application of an equibiaxial stretch of up to 25%, cells remodel their actin cytoskeleton, double their traction forces, and equilibrate at a new dynamic set point within 30 min. When the stretch is released, traction forces gradually decrease until the initial set point is retrieved. Pharmacological inhibition or knockout of nonmuscle myosin 2A prevents these adjustments, suggesting that cellular tensional homeostasis strongly depends on functional myosin motors.

Paramagnetic NMR investigation of dendrimer-based host-guest interactions.

Project description:In this study, the host-guest behavior of poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers bearing amine, hydroxyl, or carboxylate surface functionalities were investigated by paramagnetic NMR studies. 2,2,6,6-Tetramethylpiperidinyloxy (TEMPO) derivatives were used as paramagnetic guest molecules. The results showed that TEMPO-COOH significantly broaden the ¹H NMR peaks of amine- and hydroxyl-terminated PAMAM dendrimers. In comparison, no paramagnetic relaxation enhancement (PRE) was observed between TEMPO-NH?, TEMPO-OH and the three types of PAMAM dendrimers. The PRE phenomenon observed is correlated with the encapsulation of TEMPO-COOH within dendrimer pockets. Protonation of the tertiary amine groups within PAMAM dendrimers plays an important role during this process. Interestingly, the absence of TEMPO-COOH encapsulation within carboxylate-terminated PAMAM dendrimer is observed due to the repulsion of TEMPO-COO- anion and anionic dendrimer surface. The combination of paramagnetic probes and ¹H NMR linewidth analysis can be used as a powerful tool in the analysis of dendrimer-based host-guest systems.

COVID-19 prevention in hotels: Ritualized host-guest interactions.

Project description:As COVID-19 prevention efforts have become normalized, conflicts between guests and hotel staff, who must adhere to government protocols, can have a serious impact on host-guest interactions. Drawing on interaction ritual chain theory, this research explores the ritualized mechanism of host-guest interactions during the pandemic from the perspectives of staff and guests. By combining video ethnography and interviews, this study identifies the ritual ingredients, processes, outcomes, and collective symbols of COVID-19 prevention measures. Based on the attitudes and performance paths of staff and guests, the interaction chain may become longer or shorter, and result in guests becoming "insiders" or "outsiders" and leaving the interaction space. An integrated model of host-guest interactions based on interaction ritual theory is proposed.

Multiaddressable molecular rectangles with reversible host-guest interactions: modulation of pH-controlled guest release and capture.

Project description:A series of multiaddressable platinum(II) molecular rectangles with different rigidities and cavity sizes has been synthesized by endcapping the U-shaped diplatinum(II) terpyridine moiety with various bis-alkynyl ligands. The studies of the host-guest association with various square planar platinum(II), palladium(II), and gold(III) complexes and the related low-dimensional gold(I) complexes, most of which are potential anticancer therapeutics, have been performed. Excellent guest confinement and selectivity of the rectangular architecture have been shown. Introduction of pH-responsive functionalities to the ligand backbone generates multifunctional molecular rectangles that exhibit reversible guest release and capture on the addition of acids and bases, indicating their potential in controlled therapeutics delivery on pH modulation. The reversible host-guest interactions are found to be strongly perturbed by metal-metal and ?-? interactions and to a certain extent, electrostatic interactions, giving rise to various spectroscopic changes depending on the nature of the guest molecules. Their binding mode and thermodynamic parameters have been determined by 2D NMR and van't Hoff analysis and supported by computational study.

Protein surface mapping using diethylpyrocarbonate with mass spectrometric detection.

Project description:The reliability and information content of diethylpyrocarbonate (DEPC) as a covalent probe of protein surface structure has been improved when used appropriately with mass spectrometric detection. Using myoglobin, cytochrome c, and beta-2-microglobulin as model protein systems, we demonstrate for the first time that DEPC can modify Ser and Thr residues in addition to His and Tyr residues. This result expands the capability of DEPC as a structural probe because about 25% of the sequence of the average protein can now be covered using this covalent labeling reagent. In addition, we establish a new approach based on mass spectrometry to ensure the structural integrity of proteins during amino acid-specific covalent labeling reactions. This approach involves monitoring the extent of modification as a function of reagent concentration and allows any small-scale or local perturbations caused by the covalent label to be readily identified and avoided. Results indicate that these dose-response plots are much more reliable and generally applicable probes of possible protein structural changes than fluorescence or circular dichroism spectroscopies. These dose-response plots also provide a means of quantitatively comparing the reactivity of each modified residue. On the basis of comparisons to known X-ray crystal structures, we find that the solvent accessibility of the reactive atom in the side chain and the presence of a nearby charged residue most affect modification rates. Finally, this improved surface mapping method has been used to determine the effect of Cu(II) binding on the structure of beta-2-microglobulin. Results confirm that Cu(II) binds His31, but not any of the other three His residues, and changes the solvent accessibility of residues near His31 and near the N-terminus.

Unveiling host-guest-solvent interactions in solution by identifying highly unstable host-guest configurations in thermal non-equilibrium gas phase.

Project description:We propose a novel scheme of examining the host-guest-solvent interactions in solution from their gas phase structures. By adopting the permethylated β-cyclodextrin (perm β-CD)-protonated L-Lysine non-covalent complex as a prototypical system, we present the infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) spectrum of the gas phase complex produced by electrospray ionization technique. In order to elucidate the structure of perm β-CD)/LysH+ complex in the gas phase, we carry out quantum chemical calculations to assign the two strong peaks at 3,340 and 3,560 cm-1 in the IRMPD spectrum, finding that the carboxyl forms loose hydrogen bonding with the perm β-CD, whereas the ammonium group of L-Lysine is away from the perm β-CD unit. By simulating the structures of perm β-CD/H+/L-Lysine complex in solution using the supramolecule/continuum model, we find that the extremely unstable gas phase structure corresponds to the most stable conformer in solution.

Host-Guest Interactions between Calixarenes and Cp(2)NbCl(2).

Project description:The possible inclusion complexes of Cp(2)NbCl(2) into calixarenes hosts have been investigated. The existence of a true inclusion complex in the solid state was confirmed by a combination of NMR, ab-initio calculations, thermogravimetric analysis, FTIR, Raman and PXRD. Ab-initio calculations, (1)H NMR solution and solid state (13)C CP MAS NMR results demonstrated that p-sulfonic calix[6]arene does form an inclusion complex with Cp(2)NbCl(2). Raman spectroscopy showed, for the inclusion compound of p-sulfonic calix[6]arene-Cp(2)NbCl(2), a band between 500-850 cm(-1) characteristic of Nb-O vibration. This result suggests that Nb(V) may engage in coordination with the oxygen of the sulfonate group, as part of the host-guest interaction. However, it is important to mention that the niobocene dichloride (Cp(2)NbCl(2)) dissolves in water and undergoes oxidation and hydrolysis processes to yield Cp(2)NbCl(2)(OH) species. For that reason this band does not exclude that the Nb-O band belongs to Cp(2)NbCl(2)(OH). Solid State (13)C CP MAS NMR and solution (1)H NMR spectroscopies together with ab-initio results showed that Cp(2)NbCl(2) is included in the p-sulfonic calix[6]arene cavity, with both Cp rings inside the cavity. In contrast, the solution (1)H NMR results demonstrated that calix[6]arene does not form inclusion complex with Cp(2)NbCl(2) in CDCl(3) solution. Cp(2)NbCl(2) is not included in the calix[6]arene cavity, possibly due to the lack of sulfonate heads which promote Nb-O interactions and assist the inclusion of Cp(2)NbCl(2) into the cavity.

Thermodynamics of host-guest interactions between fullerenes and a buckycatcher.

Project description:(1)H NMR and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) experiments were employed to obtain reliable thermodynamic data for the formation of the 1:1 inclusion complexes of fullerenes C(60) and C(70) with the buckycatcher (C(60)H(28)). NMR measurements were done in toluene-d8 and chlorobenzene-d5 at 288, 298, and 308 K, while the ITC titrations were performed in toluene, chlorobenzene, o-dichlorobenzene, anisole, and 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane at temperatures from 278 to 323 K. The association constants, K(a), obtained with both techniques are in very good agreement. The thermodynamic data obtained by ITC indicate that generally the host-guest association is enthalpy-driven. Interestingly, the entropy contributions are, with rare exceptions, slightly stabilizing or close to zero. Neither ?H nor ?S is constant over the temperature range studied, and these thermodynamic functions exhibit classical enthalpy/entropy compensation. The ?Cp values calculated from the temperature dependence of the calorimetric ?H values are negative for the association of both fullerenes with the buckycatcher in toluene. The negative ?Cp values are consistent with some desolvation of the host-cavity and the guest in the inclusion complexes, C(60)@C(60)H(28) and C(70)@C(60)H(28).

Isotopic Consequences of Host-Guest Interactions; Noncovalent Chlorine Isotope Effects.

Project description:Although weak intermolecular interactions are the essence of most processes of key importance in medicine, industry, environment, and life cycles, their characterization is still not sufficient. Enzymatic dehalogenations that involve chloride anion interaction within a host-guest framework is one of the many examples. Recently published experimental results on host-guest systems provided us with models suitable to assess isotopic consequences of these noncovalent interactions. Herein, we report the influence of environmental and structural variations on chlorine isotope effects. We show that these effects, although small, may obscure mechanistic interpretations, as well as analytical protocols of dehalogenation processes.

Detection of 5-methylcytosine and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine in DNA <i>via</i> host-guest interactions inside ?-hemolysin nanopores.

Project description:Cytosine methylation and hydroxymethylation are both important epigenetic modifications of DNA in mammalian cells. Therefore, profiling DNA (hydroxy)methylation across the genome is vital for understanding their roles in gene regulation. Here, we report a nanopore-based approach for quick and reliable detection of 5-methylcytosine and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine in DNA at the single-molecule level. The single-stranded DNA containing 5-methylcytosine or 5-hydroxymethylcytosine was first selectively modified on the epigenetic base to attach a host-guest complex. Threading of the modified DNA molecules through ?-hemolysin nanopores causes unbinding of the host-guest complex and generates highly characteristic current signatures. Statistical analysis of the signature events affords quantitative information about 5-methylcytosine and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine in DNA. Our results suggest that other DNA modifications could also be detected with the developed method. Furthermore, we anticipate our nanopore sensing strategy to be generally useful in biochemical analysis and to find applications in the early diagnosis of diseases.
