Spontaneous self-assembly and disassembly of colloidal gold nanoparticles induced by tetrakis(hydroxymethyl) phosphonium chloride.

ABSTRACT: Upon reacting with tetrakis(hydroxymethyl) phosphonium chloride, 15 nm citrate gold nanoparticles rapidly assemble into linear chains, followed by slowly disassembling into monodisperse components. This work highlights the first example of (31)P NMR on gold particles of this size and suggests that the phosphonium is oxidized on-particle, contributing to particle disassembly.

pH-Driven Reversible Assembly and Disassembly of Colloidal Gold Nanoparticles.

Project description:Owing to the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), dynamic manipulation of optical properties through the structure evolution of plasmonic nanoparticles has been intensively studied for practical applications. This paper describes a novel method for direct reversible self-assembly and dis-assembly of Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) in water driven by pH stimuli. Using 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) as the capping ligand and pH-responsive agent, the APTES hydrolyzes rapidly in response to acid and then condenses into silicon. On the contrary, the condensed silicon can be broken down into silicate by base, which subsequently deprotonates the APTES on AuNPs. By controlling condensation and decomposition of APTES, the plasmonic coupling among adjacent AuNPs could be reversible tuned to display the plasmonic color switching. This study provides a facile and distinctive strategy to regulate the reversible self-assembly of AuNPs, and it also offers a new avenue for other plasmonic nanoparticles to adjust plasmonic properties via reversible self-assembly.

Tetrakis(hydroxymethyl) phosphonium chloride as a covalent cross-linking agent for cell encapsulation within protein-based hydrogels.

Project description:Native tissues provide cells with complex, three-dimensional (3D) environments comprised of hydrated networks of extracellular matrix proteins and sugars. By mimicking the dimensionality of native tissue while deconstructing the effects of environmental parameters, protein-based hydrogels serve as attractive, in vitro platforms to investigate cell-matrix interactions. For cell encapsulation, the process of hydrogel formation through physical or covalent cross-linking must be mild and cell compatible. While many chemical cross-linkers are commercially available for hydrogel formation, only a subset are cytocompatible; therefore, the identification of new and reliable cytocompatible cross-linkers allows for greater flexibility of hydrogel design for cell encapsulation applications. Here, we introduce tetrakis(hydroxymethyl) phosphonium chloride (THPC) as an inexpensive, amine-reactive, aqueous cross-linker for 3D cell encapsulation in protein-based hydrogels. We characterize the THPC-amine reaction by demonstrating THPC's ability to react with primary and secondary amines of various amino acids. In addition, we demonstrate the utility of THPC to tune hydrogel gelation time (6.7±0.2 to 27±1.2 min) and mechanical properties (storage moduli ?250 Pa to ?2200 Pa) with a recombinant elastin-like protein. Lastly, we show cytocompatibility of THPC for cell encapsulation with two cell types, embryonic stem cells and neuronal cells, where cells exhibited the ability to differentiate and grow in elastin-like protein hydrogels. The primary goal of this communication is to report the identification and utility of tetrakis(hydroxymethyl) phosphonium chloride (THPC) as an inexpensive but widely applicable cross-linker for protein-based materials.

Spontaneous assembly and active disassembly balance adherens junction homeostasis.

Project description:The homeostasis of adherens junctions was studied using E-cadherin and its two mutants tagged by the photoconvertible protein Dendra2 in epithelial A-431 cells and in CHO cells lacking endogenous cadherin. The first mutant contained point mutations of two elements, Lys738 and the dileucine motif that suppressed cadherin endocytosis. The second mutant contained, in addition, an extensive truncation that uncoupled the mutant from beta-catenin and p120. Surprisingly, the intact cadherin and its truncated mutant were recruited into the junctions with identical kinetics. The full-size cadherin was actively removed from the junctions by a process that was unaffected by the inactivation of its endocytic elements. The cadherin's apparent half-residence time in the junction was about 2 min. Cadherin clusters made of the truncated mutant exhibited much slower but ATP-independent junctional turnover. Taken together, our experiments showed that adherens junction homeostasis consists of three distinctive steps: cadherin spontaneous recruitment, its lateral catenin-dependent association, and its active release from the resulting clusters. The latter process, whose mechanism is not clear, may play an important role in various kinds of normal and abnormal morphogenesis.

Chelation-assisted assembly of multidentate colloidal nanoparticles into metal-organic nanoparticles.

Project description:We propose a chelation-assisted assembly of multidentate CNs into metal-organic nanoparticles (MONs). Multidentate CNs functionalized with coordination sites participate equally as organic linkers in MON construction, which is driven by chelation between metal ions and coordination sites. MONs assembled from Au nanoparticles display particle number- and size-dependent optical properties. In addition, the resulting CN-assembled MONs give evidence that assembly was dictated by the multidentate surface ligand rather than the size, shape or material of CNs. With this chelation-assisted strategy, it is possible to control the number of assembled CNs and build the connections between them.

Spontaneous Formation of Functionalized Dendrimer-Stabilized Gold Nanoparticles.

Project description:Functionalized, dendrimer-stabilized gold nanoparticles (Au DSNPs) are of scientific and technological interest for biological applications. In this work, we show that acetamide-functionalized Au DSNPs can be formed by acetylation of amine-terminated poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers of generation 5 (G5.NH(2)) complexed with Au(III) ions (AuCl(4) (-)). In addition, hydroxyl-functionalized Au DSNPs can be formed by simply mixing the glycidol hydroxyl-terminated G5 dendrimers (G5.NGlyOH) with HAuCl(4). In both cases, no additional reducing agents were needed and the reactions were completed at room temperature. We also show that Alexa Fluor 594 dye-functionalized Au DSNPs can be formed by acetylation of Alexa Fluor 594-conjugated, amine-terminated G5 dendrimers complexed with HAuCl(4). All of these functionalized Au DSNPs are water-soluble and stable. Fluorescence spectroscopy studies reveal that the Alexa Fluor 594-functionalized Au DSNPs retain similar fluorescence intensity to the Alexa Fluor 594-functionalized dendrimers that lack Au nanoparticles. These preparations of Au DSNPs provide a straightforward approach to synthesizing functionalized metal nanoparticles for biomedical applications.

Robust Colloidal Synthesis of Palladium-Gold Alloy Nanoparticles for Hydrogen Sensing.

Project description:Metal nanoparticles are currently used in a variety of applications, ranging from life sciences to nanoelectronic devices to gas sensors. In particular, the use of palladium nanoparticles is gaining increasing attention due to their ability to catalyze the rapid dissociation of hydrogen, which leads to an excellent response in hydrogen-sensing applications. However, current palladium-nanoparticle-based sensors are hindered by the presence of hysteresis upon hydride formation and decomposition, as this hysteresis limits sensor accuracy. Here, we present a robust colloidal synthesis for palladium-gold alloy nanoparticles and demonstrate their hysteresis-free response when used for hydrogen detection. The obtained colloidal particles, synthesized in an aqueous, room-temperature environment, can be tailored to a variety of applications through changing the size, ratio of metals, and surface stabilization. In particular, the variation of the viscosity of the mixture during synthesis resulted in a highly tunable size distribution and contributed to a significant improvement in size dispersity compared to the state-of-the-art methods.

Protein corona composition does not accurately predict hematocompatibility of colloidal gold nanoparticles.

Project description:Proteins bound to nanoparticle surfaces are known to affect particle clearance by influencing immune cell uptake and distribution to the organs of the mononuclear phagocytic system. The composition of the protein corona has been described for several types of nanomaterials, but the role of the corona in nanoparticle biocompatibility is not well established. In this study we investigate the role of nanoparticle surface properties (PEGylation) and incubation times on the protein coronas of colloidal gold nanoparticles. While neither incubation time nor PEG molecular weight affected the specific proteins in the protein corona, the total amount of protein binding was governed by the molecular weight of PEG coating. Furthermore, the composition of the protein corona did not correlate with nanoparticle hematocompatibility. Specialized hematological tests should be used to deduce nanoparticle hematotoxicity. From the clinical editor: It is overall unclear how the protein corona associated with colloidal gold nanoparticles may influence hematotoxicity. This study warns that PEGylation itself may be insufficient, because composition of the protein corona does not directly correlate with nanoparticle hematocompatibility. The authors suggest that specialized hematological tests must be used to deduce nanoparticle hematotoxicity.

Cobalt Extraction from Sulfate/Chloride Media with Trioctyl(alkyl)phosphonium Chloride Ionic Liquids.

Project description:The application of phosphonium-based ionic liquids (ILs) on the selective extraction of cobalt is presented. The extraction mechanism is established, and different parameters of the process are evaluated. It has been found that it is possible to extract cobalt from aqueous solutions in sulfate media, with the addition of sodium chloride, using phosphonium ILs. The cobalt extraction was selective with respect to nickel and strongly dependent on the chloride concentration in the aqueous solution. The cobalt extraction is given by an anion exchange mechanism through an endothermic process. Cobalt extractions greater than 98% were obtained using the proposed methods. Cobalt stripping from the loaded IL phase using water was proved. Therefore, an alternative extraction process to traditional organic solvents is proposed. This alternative has additional advantages such as easy handling, lower costs in reagents and equipment, and risk reduction.

Janus gold nanoparticles obtained via spontaneous binary polymer shell segregation.

Project description:Janus gold nanoparticles are of high interest because they allow directed self-assembly and display plasmonic properties. We succeeded in coating gold nanoparticles with two different polymers that form a Janus shell. The spontaneous segregation of two immiscible polymers at the surface of the nanoparticles was verified by NOESY NMR and most importantly by electron microscopy analysis in two and three dimensions. The Janus structure is additionally shown to affect the aggregation behavior of the nanoparticles.
