Tunable Reactivation of Nanoparticle-Inhibited β-Galactosidase by Glutathione at Intracellular Concentrations
Abstract
Positively charged trimethylammonium-functionalized mixed monolayer protected clusters (MMPCs) of different chain lengths (C(8) and C(11)) have been used to bind beta-galactosidase through complementary electrostatic interactions, resulting in complete enzyme inhibition. This inhibition can be reversed in vitro by intracellular concentrations of glutathione (GSH), the main thiol component of the cell. The restoration of activity depends on the chain length of the monolayer. The activity of enzyme bound to particles with C(8) monolayer was completely restored by intracellular concentrations (1-10 mM) of GSH; however, little or no release was observed at extracellular GSH concentrations. In contrast, no restoration was observed for enzyme bound to the C(11) particles at any of the concentrations studied. Taken together, these studies demonstrate that the GSH-mediated release of enzymes bound to MMPCs can be tuned through the structure of the monolayer, a significant tool for protein and drug delivery applications.

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.
