Fourier transform IR spectroscopic study of hydration-induced structure changes in the solid state of omega-gliadins.

ABSTRACT: The hydration of omega-gliadins and party deamidated and esterified omega-gliadins has been studied by Fourier transform IR spectroscopy. The secondary structure of the fully hydrated proteins was a mixture of beta-turns and extended chains, with a small amount of intermolecular beta-sheets. The absorption of the glutamine side chain amide groups contributed considerably to the amide I band with two well-defined peaks at 1658 and 1610 cm-1. the amide I band of the dry native sample could not be resolved into single component bands. There the backbone structure seemed to be distorted by extensive hydrogen bonding involving glutamine side chains. With increasing water content, these hydrogen bonds were broken successively by water molecules, resulting in an increase in extended, hydrated structures, which gave rise to the formation of intermolecular beta-sheet structures. Above 35% (w/w) water the beta-sheet content fell sharply and was replaced by extensively hydrated extended structures. An amide I band similar to dissolved poly-L-proline proved that parts of the polymer were in a solution-like state. The replacement of many glutamine side chains in the esterified protein produced more resolved secondary structures even in the dry sample. The beta-sheet content of the dry sample was higher than in the native omega-gliadins, but hydration generally caused very similar changes. At all hydration levels the spectra indicated a more ordered structure than in the native sample. Overall, the modification caused changes that go beyond the simple presence or absence of glutamine bands.

Using Fourier transform IR spectroscopy to analyze biological materials.

Project description:IR spectroscopy is an excellent method for biological analyses. It enables the nonperturbative, label-free extraction of biochemical information and images toward diagnosis and the assessment of cell functionality. Although not strictly microscopy in the conventional sense, it allows the construction of images of tissue or cell architecture by the passing of spectral data through a variety of computational algorithms. Because such images are constructed from fingerprint spectra, the notion is that they can be an objective reflection of the underlying health status of the analyzed sample. One of the major difficulties in the field has been determining a consensus on spectral pre-processing and data analysis. This manuscript brings together as coauthors some of the leaders in this field to allow the standardization of methods and procedures for adapting a multistage approach to a methodology that can be applied to a variety of cell biological questions or used within a clinical setting for disease screening or diagnosis. We describe a protocol for collecting IR spectra and images from biological samples (e.g., fixed cytology and tissue sections, live cells or biofluids) that assesses the instrumental options available, appropriate sample preparation, different sampling modes as well as important advances in spectral data acquisition. After acquisition, data processing consists of a sequence of steps including quality control, spectral pre-processing, feature extraction and classification of the supervised or unsupervised type. A typical experiment can be completed and analyzed within hours. Example results are presented on the use of IR spectra combined with multivariate data processing.

Structure and IR Spectroscopic Properties of HNCO Complexes with SO2 Isolated in Solid Argon.

Project description:FTIR spectroscopy was combined with the matrix isolation technique and quantum chemical calculations with the aim of studying complexes of isocyanic acid with sulfur dioxide. The structures of the HNCO⋯SO2 complexes of 1:1, 1:2 and 2:1 stoichiometry were optimized at the MP2, B3LYPD3, B2PLYPD3 levels of theory with the 6-311++G(3df,3pd) basis set. Five stable 1:1 HNCO⋯SO2 complexes were found. Three of them contain a weak N-H⋯O hydrogen bond, whereas two other structures are stabilized by van der Waals interactions. The analysis of the HNCO/SO2/Ar spectra after deposition indicates that mostly the 1:1 hydrogen-bonded complexes are present in argon matrices, with a small amount of the van der Waals structures. Upon annealing, complexes of the 1:2 stoichiometry were detected, as well.

Tracking Extracellular Matrix Remodeling in Lungs Induced by Breast Cancer Metastasis. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopic Studies.

Project description:This work focused on a detailed assessment of lung tissue affected by metastasis of breast cancer. We used large-area chemical scanning implemented in Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic imaging supported with classical histological and morphological characterization. For the first time, we differentiated and defined biochemical changes due to metastasis observed in the lung parenchyma, atelectasis, fibrous, and muscle cells, as well as bronchi ciliate cells, in a qualitative and semi-quantitative manner based on spectral features. The results suggested that systematic extracellular matrix remodeling with the progress of the metastasis process evoked a decrease in the fraction of the total protein in atelectasis, fibrous, and muscle cells, as well as an increase of fibrillar proteins in the parenchyma. We also detected alterations in the secondary conformations of proteins in parenchyma and atelectasis and changes in the level of hydroxyproline residues and carbohydrate moieties in the parenchyma. The results indicate the usability of FTIR spectroscopy as a tool for the detection of extracellular matrix remodeling, thereby enabling the prediction of pre-metastatic niche formation.

Fourier-transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy fingerprints subpopulations of extracellular vesicles of different sizes and cellular origin.

Project description:Identification of extracellular vesicle (EV) subpopulations remains an open challenge. To date, the common strategy is based on searching and probing set of molecular components and physical properties intended to be univocally characteristics of the target subpopulation. Pitfalls include the risk to opt for an unsuitable marker set - which may either not represent the subpopulation or also cover other unintended subpopulations - and the need to use different characterization techniques and equipment. This approach focused on specific markers may result inadequate to routinely deal with EV subpopulations that have an intrinsic high level of heterogeneity. In this paper, we show that Fourier-transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy can provide a collective fingerprint of EV subpopulations in one single experiment. FT-IR measurements were performed on large (LEVs, ~600 nm), medium (MEVs, ~200 nm) and small (SEVs ~60 nm) EVs enriched from two different cell lines medium: murine prostate cancer (TRAMP-C2) and skin melanoma (B16). Spectral regions between 3100-2800 cm-1 and 1880-900 cm-1, corresponding to functional groups mainly ascribed to lipid and protein contributions, were acquired and processed by Principal Component Analysis (PCA). LEVs, MEVs and SEVs were separately grouped for both the considered cell lines. Moreover, subpopulations of the same size but from different sources were assigned (with different degrees of accuracy) to two different groups. These findings demonstrate that FT-IR has the potential to quickly fingerprint EV subpopulations as a whole, suggesting an appealing complement/alternative for their characterization and grading, extendable to healthy and pathological EVs and fully artificial nanovesicles.

Optical Determination of Lead Chrome Green in Green Tea by Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) Transmission Spectroscopy.

Project description:The potential of Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) transmission spectroscopy for determination of lead chrome green in green tea was investigated based on chemometric methods. Firstly, the qualitative analysis of lead chrome green in tea was performed based on partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), and the correct rate of classification was 100%. And then, a hybrid method of interval partial least squares (iPLS) regression and successive projections algorithm (SPA) was proposed to select characteristic wavenumbers for the quantitative analysis of lead chrome green in green tea, and 19 wavenumbers were obtained finally. Among these wavenumbers, 1384 (C = C), 1456, 1438, 1419(C = N), and 1506 (CNH) cm-1 were the characteristic wavenumbers of lead chrome green. Then, these 19 wavenumbers were used to build determination models. The best model was achieved by least squares support vector machine (LS-SVM)algorithm with high coefficient of determination and low root-mean square error of prediction set (R2p = 0.864 and RMSEP = 0.291). All these results indicated the feasibility of IR spectra for detecting lead chrome green in green tea.

Hydration-Induced Structural Changes in the Solid State of Protein: A SAXS/WAXS Study on Lysozyme.

Project description:The stability of biologically produced pharmaceuticals is the limiting factor to various applications, which can be improved by formulation in solid-state forms, mostly via lyophilization. Knowledge about the protein structure at the molecular level in the solid state and its transition upon rehydration is however scarce, and yet it most likely affects the physical and chemical stability of the biological drug. In this work, synchrotron small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering (SWAXS) are used to characterize the structure of a model protein, lysozyme, in the solid state and its structural transition upon rehydration to the liquid state. The results show that the protein undergoes distortion upon drying to adopt structures that can continuously fill the space to remove the protein-air interface that may be formed upon dehydration. Above a hydration threshold of 35 wt %, the native structure of the protein is recovered. The evolution of SWAXS peaks as a function of water content in a broad range of concentrations is discussed in relation to the structural changes in the protein. The findings presented here can be used for the design and optimization of solid-state formulations of proteins with improved stability.

Phase-controlled Fourier-transform spectroscopy.

Project description:Fourier-transform spectroscopy (FTS) has been widely used as a standard analytical technique over the past half-century. FTS is an autocorrelation-based technique that is compatible with both temporally coherent and incoherent light sources, and functions as an active or passive spectrometer. However, it has been mostly used for static measurements due to the low scan rate imposed by technological restrictions. This has impeded its application to continuous rapid measurements, which would be of significant interest for a variety of fields, especially when monitoring of non-repeating or transient complex dynamics is desirable. Here, we demonstrate highly efficient FTS operating at a high spectral acquisition rate with a simple delay line based on a dynamic phase-control technique. The independent adjustability of phase and group delays allows us to achieve the Nyquist-limited spectral acquisition rate over 10,000 spectra per second, while maintaining a large spectral bandwidth and high resolution. We also demonstrate passive spectroscopy with an incoherent light source.

Investigation of Hydration States of Ionic Liquids by Fourier Transform Infrared Absorption Spectroscopy: Relevance to Stabilization of Protein Molecules.

Project description:Among many kinds of ionic liquids, some hydrated ionic liquids (Hy ILs) have shown an exceptional capability to stabilize protein molecules and maintain their structure and functions over a long period. However, the complex IL-water interaction among these protein-stabilizing Hy ILs has yet to be elucidated clearly. In this work, we investigate the origin of the compatibility of ionic liquid with proteins from the viewpoint of hydration structure. We systematically analyzed the hydrogen-bonding state of water molecules around ionic liquid using Fourier transform infrared absorption (FT-IR) spectroscopy. We found that the native hydrogen-bonding network of water remained relatively unperturbed in the protein-stabilizing ILs. We also observed that the protein-stabilizing ILs have a strong electric field interaction with the surrounding water molecules and this water-IL interaction did not disrupt the water-water hydrogen-bonding interaction. On the other hand, protein-denaturing ILs perturb the hydrogen-bonding network of the water molecules to a greater extent. Furthermore, the protein-denaturing ILs were found to have a weak electric field effect on the water molecules. We speculate that the direct hydrogen bonding of the ILs with water molecules and the strong electric field of the ions lasting several hydration shells while maintaining the relatively unperturbed hydrogen-bonding network of the water molecules play an essential role in protein stabilization.

Structure, stability, and aggregation of ?-2 microglobulin mutants: insights from a Fourier transform infrared study in solution and in the crystalline state.

Project description:?-2 microglobulin (?2m) is an amyloidogenic protein involved in dialysis-related amyloidosis. We report here the study of the structural properties of the protein in solution and in the form of single crystals by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and microspectroscopy. The investigation has been extended to four ?2m mutants previously characterized by x-ray crystallography: Asp(53)Pro, Asp(59)Pro, Trp(60)Gly, and Trp(60)Val. These variants displayed very similar three-dimensional structures but different thermal stability and aggregation propensity, investigated here by FTIR spectroscopy. For each variant, appreciable spectral differences were found between the protein in solution and in single crystals, consisting in a downshift of the main ?-sheet band and in better resolved turn and loop bands, indicative of reduced protein secondary structure dynamics in the crystalline state. Notably, the well-resolved spectra of the ?2m crystalline variants enabled us to identify structural differences induced by the single amino acid mutations. Such differences encompass turn and loop structures that might affect the stability and aggregation propensity of the investigated ?2m variants. This study highlights the potential of FTIR microspectroscopy to acquire useful structural information on protein crystals, complementary to the crystallographic analyses.

Conformation and self-association of the peptide hormone substance P: Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopic study.

Project description:Fourier-transform i.r. (f.t.i.r.) spectroscopy has been applied to the study of the conformational properties of substance P in aqueous solution. Spectra were obtained in the presence of lipid membranes and Ca2+ to assess the role of these factors in induction of the active conformation of the peptide. In aqueous solution substance P was found to be predominantly unstructured at physiological p2H, where the lack of long-range order is probably related to charge repulsion along the peptide chain. However, substance P aggregated in aqueous solution at p2H > 10.0. Little or no induction of secondary structure was seen on addition of the peptide to negatively charged bilayers, suggesting that interaction with a membrane surface does not play an important role in the stabilization of the active conformation of the peptide. In fact, substance P was found to aggregate in the presence of charged lipids, which would tend to hinder rather than enhance interaction with the receptor. We propose a model for the aggregation of substance P at the bilayer surface, based on our studies of the effect of p2H and lipid/peptide ratio on spectra. Addition of Ca2+ had no effect upon the secondary structure of the peptide or on its interactions with membranes.
