Fast Ion-Chelate Dissociation Rate for In Vivo MRI of Labile Zinc with Frequency-Specific Encodability.

ABSTRACT: Fast ion-chelate dissociation rates and weak ion-chelate affinities are desired kinetic and thermodynamic features for imaging probes to allow reversible binding and to prevent deviation from basal ionic levels. Nevertheless, such properties often result in poor readouts upon ion binding, frequently result in low ion specificity, and do not allow the detection of a wide range of concentrations. Herein, we show the design, synthesis, characterization, and implementation of a Zn²⁺-probe developed for MRI that possesses reversible Zn²⁺-binding properties with a rapid dissociation rate (k_off = 845 ± 35 s^-1) for the detection of a wide range of biologically relevant concentrations. Benefiting from the implementation of chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST), which is here applied in the ¹⁹F-MRI framework in an approach termed ion CEST (iCEST), we demonstrate the ability to map labile Zn²⁺ with spectrally resolved specificity and with no interference from competitive cations. Relying on fast k_off rates for enhanced signal amplification, the use of iCEST allowed the designed fluorinated chelate to experience weak Zn²⁺-binding affinity (K_d at the mM range), but without compromising high cationic specificity, which is demonstrated here for mapping the distribution of labile Zn²⁺ in the hippocampal tissue of a live mouse. This strategy for accelerating ion-chelate k_off rates for the enhancement of MRI signal amplifications without affecting ion specificity could open new avenues for the design of additional probes for other metal ions beyond zinc.

The Importance of the Dissociation Rate in Ion Channel Blocking.

Project description:Understanding the relationships between the rates and dynamics of current wave forms under voltage clamp conditions is essential for understanding phenomena such as state-dependence and use-dependence, which are fundamental for the action of drugs used as anti-epileptics, anti-arrhythmics, and anesthetics. In the present study, we mathematically analyze models of blocking mechanisms. In previous experimental studies of potassium channels we have shown that the effect of local anesthetics can be explained by binding to channels in the open state. We therefore here examine models that describe the effect of a blocking drug that binds to a non-inactivating channel in its open state. Such binding induces an inactivation-like current decay at higher potential steps. The amplitude of the induced peak depends on voltage and concentration of blocking drug. In the present study, using analytical methods, we (i) derive a criterion for the existence of a peak in the open probability time evolution for a model with an arbitrary number of closed states, (ii) derive formula for the relative height of the peak amplitude, and (iii) determine the voltage dependence of the relative peak height. Two findings are apparent: (1) the dissociation (unbinding) rate constant is important for the existence of a peak in the current waveform, while the association (binding) rate constant is not, and (2) for a peak to exist it suffices that the dissociation rate must be smaller than the absolute value of all eigenvalues to the kinetic matrix describing the model.

High-Field Detection of Biomarkers with Fast Field-Cycling MRI: The Example of Zinc Sensing.

Project description:Many smart magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) probes provide response to a biomarker based on modulation of their rotational correlation time. The magnitude of such MRI signal changes is highly dependent on the magnetic field and the response decreases dramatically at high fields (>2 T). To overcome the loss of efficiency of responsive probes at high field, with fast-field cycling magnetic resonance imaging (FFC-MRI) we exploit field-dependent information rather than the absolute difference in the relaxation rate measured in the absence and in the presence of the biomarker at a given imaging field. We report here the application of fast field-cycling techniques combined with the use of a molecular probe for the detection of Zn2+ to achieve 166 % MRI signal enhancement at 3 T, whereas the same agent provides no detectable response using conventional MRI. This approach can be generalized to any biomarker provided the detection is based on variation of the rotational motion of the probe.

High frame-rate intravascular optical frequency-domain imaging in vivo.

Project description:Intravascular optical frequency-domain imaging (OFDI), a second-generation optical coherence tomography (OCT) technology, enables imaging of the three-dimensional (3D) microstructure of the vessel wall following a short and nonocclusive clear liquid flush. Although 3D vascular visualization provides a greater appreciation of the vessel wall and intraluminal structures, a longitudinal imaging pitch that is several times bigger than the optical imaging resolution of the system has limited true high-resolution 3D imaging, mainly due to the slow scanning speed of previous imaging catheters. Here, we demonstrate high frame-rate intravascular OFDI in vivo, acquiring images at a rate of 350 frames per second. A custom-built, high-speed, and high-precision fiber-optic rotary junction provided uniform and high-speed beam scanning through a custom-made imaging catheter with an outer diameter of 0.87 mm. A 47-mm-long rabbit aorta was imaged in 3.7 seconds after a short contrast agent flush. The longitudinal imaging pitch was 34 μm, comparable to the transverse imaging resolution of the system. Three-dimensional volume-rendering showed greatly enhanced visualization of tissue microstructure and stent struts relative to what is provided by conventional intravascular imaging speeds.

Horizontally arranged zinc platelet electrodeposits modulated by fluorinated covalent organic framework film for high-rate and durable aqueous zinc ion batteries.

Project description:Rechargeable aqueous zinc-ion batteries (RZIBs) provide a promising complementarity to the existing lithium-ion batteries due to their low cost, non-toxicity and intrinsic safety. However, Zn anodes suffer from zinc dendrite growth and electrolyte corrosion, resulting in poor reversibility. Here, we develop an ultrathin, fluorinated two-dimensional porous covalent organic framework (FCOF) film as a protective layer on the Zn surface. The strong interaction between fluorine (F) in FCOF and Zn reduces the surface energy of the Zn (002) crystal plane, enabling the preferred growth of (002) planes during the electrodeposition process. As a result, Zn deposits show horizontally arranged platelet morphology with (002) orientations preferred. Furthermore, F-containing nanochannels facilitate ion transport and prevent electrolyte penetration for improving corrosion resistance. The FCOF@Zn symmetric cells achieve stability for over 750 h at an ultrahigh current density of 40 mA cm-2. The high-areal-capacity full cells demonstrate hundreds of cycles under high Zn utilization conditions.

Fast electrodeposition of zinc onto single zinc nanoparticles.

Project description:The zinc deposition reaction onto metallic zinc has been investigated at the single particle level through the electrode-particle collision method in neutral solutions, and in respect of its dependence on the applied potential and the ionic strength of a sulphate-containing solution. Depending on the concentration of sulphate ions in solution, different amounts of metallic zinc were deposited on the single Zn nanoparticles. Specifically, insights into the electron transfer kinetics at the single particles were obtained, indicating an electrically early reactant-like transition state, which is consistent with the rate-determining partial de-hydration/de-complexation process. Such information on the reaction kinetics at the nanoscale is of vital importance for the development of more efficient and long-lasting nanostructured Zn-based negative electrodes for Zn-ion battery applications.

Zinc-Ion Storage Mechanism of Polyaniline for Rechargeable Aqueous Zinc-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Aqueous multivalent ion batteries, especially aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs), have promising energy storage application due to their unique merits of safety, high ionic conductivity, and high gravimetric energy density. To improve their electrochemical performance, polyaniline (PANI) is often chosen to suppress cathode dissolution. Herein, this work focuses on the zinc ion storage behavior of a PANI cathode. The energy storage mechanism of PANI is associated with four types of protonated/non-protonated amine or imine. The PANI cathode achieves a high capacity of 74 mAh g-1 at 0.3 A g-1 and maintains 48.4% of its initial discharge capacity after 1000 cycles. It also demonstrates an ultrahigh diffusion coefficient of 6.25 × 10-9~7.82 × 10-8 cm-2 s-1 during discharging and 7.69 × 10-10~1.81 × 10-7 cm-2 s-1 during charging processes, which is one or two orders of magnitude higher than other reported studies. This work sheds a light on developing PANI-composited cathodes in rechargeable aqueous ZIBs energy storage devices.

Phosphoproteomics with Activated Ion Electron Transfer Dissociation.

Project description:The ability to localize phosphosites to specific amino acid residues is crucial to translating phosphoproteomic data into biological meaningful contexts. In a companion manuscript ( Anal. Chem. 2017 , DOI: 10.1021/acs.analchem.7b00213 ), we described a new implementation of activated ion electron transfer dissociation (AI-ETD) on a quadrupole-Orbitrap-linear ion trap hybrid MS system (Orbitrap Fusion Lumos), which greatly improved peptide fragmentation and identification over ETD and other supplemental activation methods. Here we present the performance of AI-ETD for identifying and localizing sites of phosphorylation in both phosphopeptides and intact phosphoproteins. Using 90 min analyses we show that AI-ETD can identify 24,503 localized phosphopeptide spectral matches enriched from mouse brain lysates, which more than triples identifications from standard ETD experiments and outperforms ETcaD and EThcD as well. AI-ETD achieves these gains through improved quality of fragmentation and MS/MS success rates for all precursor charge states, especially for doubly protonated species. We also evaluate the degree to which phosphate neutral loss occurs from phosphopeptide product ions due to the infrared photoactivation of AI-ETD and show that modifying phosphoRS (a phosphosite localization algorithm) to include phosphate neutral losses can significantly improve localization in AI-ETD spectra. Finally, we demonstrate the utility of AI-ETD in localizing phosphosites in ?-casein, an ?23.5 kDa phosphoprotein that showed eight of nine known phosphorylation sites occupied upon intact mass analysis. AI-ETD provided the greatest sequence coverage for all five charge states investigated and was the only fragmentation method to localize all eight phosphosites for each precursor. Overall, this work highlights the analytical value AI-ETD can bring to both bottom-up and top-down phosphoproteomics.

Photocleavable proteins that undergo fast and efficient dissociation.

Project description:Photocleavable molecules can enable the light-dependent modulation of biomolecular activities with high spatiotemporal precision. We have previously reported a photocleavable protein (PhoCl1) that, uniquely, is a fully genetically encoded photocleavable molecule that can be introduced into cells in the form of its corresponding gene to enable optogenetic control of biomolecular activities. However, the first generation PhoCl1 exhibited a relatively slow rate of dissociation, potentially limiting its utility. Here, we report the X-ray crystal structures of the PhoCl1 green state, red state, and cleaved empty barrel. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed to provide insight into the precise dissociation mechanism. Using structure-guided engineering and directed evolution, we have developed PhoCl2c with higher contrast ratio and PhoCl2f with faster dissociation. We characterized the performance of these new variants as purified proteins and in cultured cells. Our results demonstrate that PhoCl2 variants exhibit faster and more efficient dissociation, which should enable improved optogenetic manipulations of protein localization and protein-protein interactions in living cells.
