Tunable Inhibition and Denaturation of α-Chymotrypsin with Amino Acid-Functionalized Gold Nanoparticles

You, Chang-Cheng, De, Mrinmoy, Han, Gang, Rotello, Vincent M.·2005·Journal of the American Chemical Society

Abstract

Water-soluble gold nanoparticles bearing diverse l-amino acid terminals have been fabricated to probe the effect of receptor surface on protein surface binding. The interaction of these nanoparticles with alpha-chymotrypsin (ChT) was investigated by activity assay, gel electrophoresis, zeta-potential, circular dichroism, and fluorescence spectroscopy. The results show that both electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions between the hydrophobic patches of receptors and the protein contribute to the stability of the complex. The microscopic binding constants for these receptor-protein systems are 10(6)-10(7) M(-1), with the capacity of the nanoparticle receptors to bind proteins determined by both their surface area and their surface charge density. Furthermore, it is found that the hydrophilic side chains destabilize the ChT structure through either competitive hydrogen bonding or breakage of salt bridges, whereas denaturation was much slower with hydrophobic amino acid side chains. Significantly, correlation between the hydrophobicity index of amino acid side chains and the binding affinity and denaturation rates was observed.

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.
