Biomimetic Synthesis and Characterization of Magnetic Proteins (Magnetoferritin)

Wong, Kim K. W., Douglas, Trevor, Gider, Savas, Awschalom, David D., Mann, Stephen·1998·Chemistry of Materials

Abstract

A new synthesis of the magnetic protein magnetoferritin is reported. Addition of increments of Fe(II) to anaerobic solutions of the demetalated protein, apoferritin, at pH = 8.6 and 65 °C, followed by stoichiometric amounts of the oxidant trimethylamine- N -oxide (Me 3 NO), results in the formation of a dispersed magnetic bioinorganic nanocomposite. By limiting the Fe:protein ratio to not more than ∼140 atoms/protein molecule and the Fe(II):Me 3 NO ratio to 3:2 in each increment, ferrimagnetic nanocrystals of magnetite/maghemite (Fe 3 O 4 )/(γ-Fe 2 O 3 ) are synthesized in the 8 nm diameter protein cage. Controlling the number of stepwise cycles of the Fe(II)/oxidant additions produces biomimetic proteins with different iron loadings (100, 260, 530, 1000, 2040, and 3150 Fe atoms/protein molecule) and concomitant changes in the size of the inorganic nanocores. Magnetoferritins prepared with less than 1000 Fe atoms/molecule were discrete nanocomposites with protein-encapsulated magnetic cores. Samples with higher iron loadings were aggregated on the TEM grid and showed a progressive increase in the number of cores with dimensions greater than the protein cavity. The temperature-dependent magnetic properties of magnetoferritins with different Fe loadings were studied by SQUID magnetometry. An approximately linear dependence of the superparamagnetic blocking temperature with iron loading was determined.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
