AB  - Fluorapatite doped with rare-earth elements has a wide-range of biomedical applications. Here, a new type of fluorapatite nanocrystals doped with praseodymium (FAP-Pr) with excitation-emission profiles in visible part of the spectrum is fabricated. Energy levels of Pr3+ activator ion contain metastable multiplet states that offer the possibility of efficient multicolor emission lines in FAP nanocrystals. Three types of FAP-Pr nanocrystals with 0.1%, 0.5% and 1% atomic percent of Pr3+ (along with the undoped FAP control sample) are studied. Their novel chemical production method is described, the FAP-Pr nanocrystals structure, biocompatibility and the suitability for cell imaging are analyzed. Physicochemical characterization confirms crystals down to nanometer size. In addition, quantum-chemical calculation predicts that Pr3+ ions are incorporated into the FAP crystal lattice at Ca2 (6 h) sites. In vitro viability results shows that FAP-Pr nanocrystals are nontoxic to live cells. Additionally, the cell uptake of the FAP-Pr nanocrystals is studied using fluorescence-based widefield and confocal microscopy. The nanocrystals show characteristic green emission at 545 nm (3P0→3H5 transition of Pr3+ ion) and orange emission at 600 nm (1D2→3H4), which we use to discriminate from cell autofluorescence background. Orthogonal projections across 3D confocal stacks show that the nanocrystals are able to enter the cells positioning themselves within the cytoplasm. Overall, the new FAP-Pr nanocrystals are biocompatible and of the tested types, the 0.5% Pr3+ doped nanocrystals show the highest promise as a tracking nanoparticle probe for bioimaging applications.

AB  - Cellobiose dehydrogenase (CDH, EC 1.1.99.18) from white rot fungi Phanerochaete chrysosporium can be used for constructing biosensors and biofuel cells, for bleaching cotton in textile industry, and recently, the enzyme has found an important application in biomedicine as an antimicrobial and antibiofilm agent. Stability and activity of the wild-type (wt) CDH and mutants at methionine residues in the presence of hydrogen peroxide were investigated. Saturation mutagenesis libraries were made at the only methionine in heme domain M65 and two methionines M685 and M738 in the flavin domain that were closest to the active site. After screening the libraries, three mutants with increased activity and stability in the presence of peroxide were found, M65F with 70% of residual activity after 6 h of incubation in 0.3 M hydrogen peroxide, M738S with 80% of residual activity and M685Y with over 90% of residual activity compared to wild-type CDH that retained 40% of original activity. Combined mutants showed no activity. The most stable mutant M685Y with 5.8 times increased half-life in the presence of peroxide showed also 2.5 times increased kcat for lactose compared to wtCDH and could be good candidate for applications in biofuel cells and biocatalysis for lactobionic acid production.

AB  - Lignin peroxidase (LiP) is a heme-containing oxidoreductase that oxidizes structurally diverse substrates in an H2O2-dependent manner. Its ability to oxidize many pollutants makes it suitable for bioremediation applications and an ideal candidate for optimization by mutagenesis and selection. In order to increase oxidative stability of LiP we generated a random mutagenesis library comprising 106 mutated LiP genes and screened for expressed enzymes with higher than wild-type activity after incubation in 30 mM H2O2 by flow cytometry with fluorescein-tyramide as a substrate. To preserve the genotype-phenotype connection, the LiP mutants were displayed on the yeast cell surface. Two rounds of sorting were performed, recovered colonies were then screened in microtiter plates, and activity analysis revealed a significant increase in the percentage of cells expressing LiP variants with higher oxidative stability than wtLiP. Two rounds of sorting increased the proportion of more-stable variants from 1.4% in the original library to 52.3%. The most stable variants after two rounds of sorting featured between two and four mutations and retained up to 80% of initial activity after 1 h incubation in 30 mM H2O2. We for the first-time applied flow cytometry for screening of any ligninolytic peroxidase library. Obtained results suggest that developed system may be applied for improvement of industrially important characteristics of lignin peroxidase.

For this purpose, mutant cdh genes tm (D20N, A64T, V592M), H5 (D20N, V22A, A64T, V592M) and H9 (D20N, A64T, T84A, A261P, V592M, E674G, N715S) were cloned to pPICZα plasmid and transformed into Pichia pastoris KM71H strain for high expression in a soluble form and kinetic characterization. After 6 days of expression under methanol induction, the CDHs were purified by ultrafiltration, ion- -exchange chromatography and gel filtration. Sodium dodecyl sulfate electrophoresis confirmed the purity and presence of a single protein band at a molecular weight of 100 kDa. Kinetic characterization showed that the H5 mutant had the highest catalytic constant of 43.5 s-1 for lactose, while the mutant H9 showed the highest specificity constant for lactose of 132 mM-1 s-1. All three mutant proteins did not change the pH optimum that was between 4.5 and 5.5. Compared to the previously obtained wild types and mutants of CDH from Phanerochaete chrysosporium, the variants reported in this article had higher activity and specificity that together with high protein expression rate in P. pastoris, makes them good candidates for use in biotechnology for lactobionic acid production and biosensor manufacture.

AB  - Derivatives of xylans were synthesized from corncob xylan by carboxymethylation, oxidization with different molar ratios of periodate (5, 10 15 and 20 mol%) and by reductive amination with tyramine. Modifications of tyramine carboxymethyl xylans (Tyr-CMX) were confirmed by FTIR, UV and NMR spectra. Concentration of ionizable groups increased from 1.5 mmol/g for carboxymethyl xylan (CMX) to 5.4 mmol/g for Tyr-CMX oxidized with 20 mol% of periodate. All Tyr-CMXs were able to form hydrogels the cross-linking reaction with horseradish peroxidase and peroxide. Tyr-CMXs were tested for amyloglucosidase (AG) encapsulation within hydrogel microbeads obtained in a reaction of emulsion polymerization with peroxidase. Average diameter of Tyr-CMX hydrogel microbeads was 52±25 µm and after encapsulation optimization with respect to the extent of CMX modification with tyramine, the concentration of Tyr-CMX, and the amount of added AG, microbeads with AG specific activity of 2 U/mL and 20% yield of immobilization were obtained. The optimum pH of the immobilized AG was not changed compared to the soluble one, while half-life at 60 °C was increased around 10 times. The Michaelis-Menten constant for the immobilized enzyme, 1.03 mM, was significantly lower than that for the soluble one, 1.54 mM. After 5 cycles of repetitive use in batch reactor, the immobilized AG retained 68% of initial activity.

AB  - In the present study we have analyzed effects of Ag+ ions doping on energetic profiles of nanophosphors materials based on fluorapatite crystal system. The UV radiation absorption and luminescence properties of monophase fluorapatite (FAP) and Ag+ doped fluorapatite (AgFAP) nanomaterials obtained by neutralization method were investigated using the photoluminescence spectrophotometry. The excitation-emission profiles of nanomaterials were analyzed statistically by MCR-ALS method and number of fluorophores was extracted. FAP lattice absorbed light at 350 nm in the UVA part of spectrum, and with increasing concentration of Ag+ ions new absorption maximum appeared at 270 nm in the UVC part. Fluorescence of FAP nanoparticles was in violet region of visible part of the spectrum, with a red shift to the green region when Ag+ was doped in lattice. MCR-ALS analyses of fluorescence spectra confirm formation of two maxima, at 484 and 505 nm, as a consequence of Ag+ ions doping in FAP lattice at Ca1 (4f) sites. The results of quantum chemical calculations showed that an Ag+ ion is stronger bonded to the binding site 1 (-1352:6 kcal/mol) than to the binding site 2 (-1249:0 kcal/mol). Considering that AgFAP1 nanopowder absorbs photons over all part of UV radiation spectrum, this material might be used as potential radiation protective nanomaterial.

AB  - Glucose oxidase (GOx) mutants with higher activity or stability have important role in industry and in the development of biosensors and biofuel cells. Discovering these mutants can be time-consuming if appropriate high-throughput screening (HTS) systems are not available. GOx gene libraries were successfully screened and sorted using a HTS system based on GOx activity dependent fluorescent labeling of yeast cells with tyramids and quantification of the amount of expressed enzyme by yeast enhanced green fluorescent protein (yGFP) tagging and flow cytometry. For this purpose, we expressed wild type and a mutant GOx as a chimera with the yGFP to confirm differences in catalytic activity between wild-type and mutant GOx. Fluorescence of yGFP is preserved during expression of chimera, and also after the oxidative enzymatic reaction. We have obtained a 2.5-fold enrichment in population of cells expressing active enzyme, and percentage of enzyme variants with enzymatic mean activity higher than wild type activity was increased to 44% after a single round of GOx gene library sorting. We have found two mutants with 1.3 and 2.3-fold increase in Vmax values compared to the wtGOx. By simultaneous detection of protein expression level and enzyme activity we have increased the likelihood of finding GOx variants with increased activity in a single round of flow cytometry sorting.

AB  - Cellobiose dehydrogenase (CDH) from Phanerochaete chrysosporium can be used in
lactobionic acid production, biosensor for lactose, biofuel cells, lignocellulose degradation,
and wound-healing applications. To make it a better biocatalyst, CDH with higher activity in
an immobilized form is desirable. For this purpose, CDH was expressed for the first time on the
surface of S. cerevisiae EBY100 cells in an active form as a triple mutant tmCDH (D20N, A64T,
V592M) and evolved further for higher activity using resazurin-based fluorescent assay. In order to
decrease blank reaction of resazurin with yeast cells and to have linear correlation between enzyme
activity on the cell surface and fluorescence signal, the assay was optimized with respect to resazurin
concentration (0.1 mM), substrate concentration (10mMlactose and 0.08mMcellobiose), and pH (6.0).
Using optimized assay an error prone PCR gene library of tmCDH was screened. Two mutants with
5 (H5) and 7 mutations (H9) were found having two times higher activity than the parent tmCDH
enzyme that already had improved activity compared to wild type CDH whose activity could not be
detected on the surface of yeast cells.

AB  - Cellobiose dehydrogenase (CDH) can be used in industry for lactobionic acid production, as a part of biosensors for disaccharides and in wound healing. In fungi it is involved in lignocellulose degradation. CDH gene from Phanerochaete chrysosporium has been cloned in pYES2 plasmid for extracellular expression and protein engineering in yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae InvSC1 for the first time. A CDH gene library was generated using error-prone PCR and screened by spectrophotometric enzymatic assaybased on 2,6-dichloroindophenol reduction detection in microtiter plates. Several mutants with increased activity and specificity towards lactose and cellobiose were found, purified and characterized in detail. Recombinant CDH enzymes showed a broad molecular weight between 120 and 150 KDa due to hyperglycosylation and the best S137N mutant showed 2.2 times increased kcat and 1.5 and 2 times increased specificity constant for lactose and cellobiose compared to the wild type enzyme. pH optimum of mutants was not changed while thermostability of selected mutants improved and S137N mutant retained 30% of it’s original activity after 15 minutes at 70oC compared to 10% of activity that the wild type enzyme retained. Mutants M65S and S137N showed also 1.6 and 1.5 times increased productivity of hydrogen peroxide in the presence of 30mM lactose compared to the wild type.

AB  - An increase in the copper pool in body fluids has been related to a number of pathological conditions, including infections. Copper ions may affect antibiotics via the formation of coordination bonds and/or redox reactions. Herein, we analyzed the interactions of Cu2+ with eight β-lactam antibiotics using UV–Vis spectrophotometry, EPR spectroscopy, and electrochemical methods. Penicillin G did not show any detectable interactions with Cu2+. Ampicillin, amoxicillin and cephalexin formed stable colored complexes with octahedral coordination environment of Cu2+ with tetragonal distortion, and primary amine group as the site of coordinate bond formation. These β-lactams increased the solubility of Cu2+ in the phosphate buffer. Ceftazidime and Cu2+ formed a complex with a similar geometry and gave rise to an organic radical. Ceftriaxone-Cu2+ complex appears to exhibit different geometry. All complexes showed 1:1 stoichiometry. Cefaclor reduced Cu2+ to Cu1+ that further reacted with molecular oxygen to produce hydrogen peroxide. Finally, meropenem underwent degradation in the presence of copper. The analysis of activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus showed that the effects of meropenem, amoxicillin, ampicillin, and ceftriaxone were significantly hindered in the presence of copper ions. The interactions with copper ions should be taken into account regarding the problem of antibiotic resistance and in the selection of the most efficient antimicrobial therapy for patients with altered copper homeostasis.

AB  - Epinephrine (Epi) is a physiologically important catecholamine. Molecular conformation of Epi controls the interactions with other molecules and its biological effects. There have been a number of theoretical studies addressing conformation and hydrogen bonding of Epi in different solvents, but experimental data are scarce. Herein, we applied H-1 NMR, H-1-H-1 COSY, H-1-N-15 HSQC, and NOESY to examine and compare the conformation of Epi in polar solvents-dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and water. The main differences were observed for NH2 and CH2 groups. Both showed chemical nonequivalence of protons in DMSO that was not present in water. The analysis of the effects of increasing temperature and solvent substitution on NMR signals showed that one of the protons in amine group forms a strong intramolecular hydrogen bond with aliphatic OH group, which is H-donor in another hydrogen bond with DMSO. NOESY provided data on the spatial positions of protons in the side chain, allowing for 3D model of the structure of Epi in DMSO to be built. In close, Epi molecule forms an additional 5-membered ring that encompasses bifurcate intra-/intermolecular hydrogen bonds, and acquires conformation that resembles the shape of a "scorpion"-the catechol ring representing the body and the side chain being a forward-curved tail. The conformation of Epi in water lacks the intramolecular hydrogen bond and most likely largely depends on hydrogen bonds with water molecules.

In close, Epi molecule forms an additional 5-membered ring that encompasses bifurcate intra-/intermolecular hydrogen bonds, and acquires conformation that resembles the shape of a "scorpion"-the catechol ring representing the body and the side chain being a forward-curved tail. The conformation of Epi in water lacks the intramolecular hydrogen bond and most likely largely depends on hydrogen bonds with water molecules.",

AB  - Transaminases (EC 2.6.1.X) are enzymes which catalyze reversible transfer of amino group from amino acids to α-keto acids by using piridoxal-5ʼ-phosphate as a coenzyme. There is a huge interest for the application of ω-transaminases in industrial production of chiral amines and alkaloids since those compounds are extensively used in pharmaceutical, agricultural, and chemical industries. Application of ω-transaminases in asimetric synthesis of these compounds enables efficient production of biologicaly active amines, due to their catalytic properties for synthesis with a high level of enantioselectivity, supstrate promiscuity (they are capable to aminate keto acids, aldehydes and ketones), high turnover number, no requirement for regeneration of external cofactors, and among other cheaper, simpler and green process of production. We are developing biocatalytic route for the synthesis of amino steroids by using ω- transaminase, (R)-selective, ATA-117 enzyme variant from Arthrobacter sp 3. It can be observed that enzyme expression was done in Echerichia coli BL21 D3 pLysS (Figure 1), and HPLC analysis of enzyme activity and specificity toward 15 structuraly different steroid compounds was performed. (R)-methylbenzylamine was used as amino group donor and pyridoxal-5ʼ-phosphate as cofactor. Activity of the enzyme was measured in bacterial lysate based on the absorbance of acetophenone, that is formed during the transamination reaction of (R)-methylbenzylamine. Figures 2 and 3 are showing chromatograms of acetophenone standard and products of reaction performed with enzyme expressed in E. coli and 16,17-epoxypregnenolone. Reactions were analysed on reversed phase column NucleosilC18. Based on the results, we have selected four steroid compounds for which enzyme showed highest activity and with a potential for biological activity. The next step was optimisation of the reaction conditions with a low cost amino donor isopropylamine, and isolation and characterisation of a pure amino steroid products. Until now we have managed to enzymatically synthesize and purify one amino steroid which should be further analysed by spectral characterization and its biological activity will be determined.

AB  - Anatomical adaptation of liana plants includes structural changes in cell walls of different tissues: fibers, vessel elements and tracheids. However, the contribution of parenchyma cells to stem twining in liana plants is mostly unknown. The aim of this investigation is to determine changes in stem parenchyma cell walls that are correlated with the twinning process in liana plants. Parenchyma cell wall structure was studied on the stem cross sections of straight and twisted internodes of monocotyledonous liana Dioscorea balcanica, by different microscopy techniques: light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, fluorescence detected linear dichroism microscopy and Fourier transform infrared microspectrometry. In addition, chemical analysis of the entire stem internodes was performed using photometric and chromatographic methods. Parenchyma cell walls of twisted D. balcanica internodes are characterized by: lower amounts of cellulose (obtained by FTIR microspectrometry) with different cellulose microfibril orientation (shown by Scanning electron microscopy), but no changes in "cellulose fibril order" (obtained by Differential polarization laser scanning microscopy); lower amounts of xyloglucan, higher amounts of xylan, higher amounts of lignin with modified organization-less condensed lignin (obtained by FTIR microspectrometry). At the same time, chemical analysis of the entire internodes did not show significant differences in lignin content and cell wall bound phenols related to stem twining, except for the presence of diferulate cross-links exclusively in twisted internodes. Our results indicate that adaptations to mechanical strain in D. balcanica stems involve modifications in parenchyma cell wall structure and chemistry, which provide decreased stiffness, higher strength and increased elasticity of twisted internodes.

AB  - Seven symmetrical 2,6-distyrylpyridines, phenyl-substituted with hydrogen-bond donors, hydrogenbond
acceptors, halogens and hydrophobic moieties were synthesized and their spectroscopic characterization
was done. Solvent effects on the absorption and fluorescence spectra were analyzed and quantified
using the Kamlet–Taft and Catalán approach. The obtained results were rationalized by comparison of
electrostatic potentials of the molecules in the ground and in excited state and by comparison of the frontier
molecular orbitals (HOMO and LUMO), derived from quantum-mechanical calculations (HF, DFT,
MP2). Analysis of the results revealed an important influence of non-specific (dispersive) interactions
on the solvatochromic behavior of the compounds. 1D and 2D NMR data, in silico obtained conformational
assembly of the compound, and the NMR analysis of molecular flexibility in solution (NAMFIS), were used
to estimate population of conformers and to deconvolute the UV-Vis spectrum of representative derivative;
inferring that the conformational assembly is more complex than was assumed in so far published
literature data for this class of compounds. Along with this, the emission spectra of the representative
compounds were decomposed by the Multivariate Curve Resolution analysis.

AB  - Phenol and amino groups were introduced into alginate to different degrees via oxidation with 2.5, 5, 10, 15 and 20 mol% of periodate and reductive amination by tyramine. Modification of alginate with tyramine was confirmed by FTIR spectroscopy and UV-VIS spectroscopy, while concentration of phenol and ionizable groups was determined using absorbance at 275 nm and acid-base titration. All tyramine-alginates were able to form hydrogels after cross-linking with horse radish peroxidase (HRP) and hydrogen peroxide. Tyramine-alginates oxidized with up to 10 mol% of periodate were also capable of forming hydrogels with calcium ions. Tyramine-alginates were tested for HRP immobilization within micro-beads obtained by peroxidase catalyzed droplet polymerization using internal delivery of hydrogen peroxide via glucose oxidase and glucose. Highest activity of immobilized peroxidase was obtained with 20% (w/v) tyramine-alginate obtained via 20 mol% periodate oxidation. Immobilized enzyme was not leaking from the micro-beads and was further kinetically characterized for pyrogallol oxidation. Km for pyrogallol was increased after immobilization from 1.93 mM for soluble HRP to 734 mM for immobilized HRP. The optimum pH was also increased from pH 7.0 to 8.0. Temperature and organic solvent stability improved significantly after immobilization, so that half-life at 70 degrees C increased around four times, while half-life in 80% (v/v) dioxane increased 22 times. After repeated use of 6 times in batch reactor for pyrogallol oxidation immobilized HRP retained 45% of original activity.

X16061, swiss-Prot; P13006) and M12 mutant (N2Y, K13E, T30 V, I94 V, K152R) were cloned into pPICZ alpha A vector for expression in Pichia pastoris KM71H strain. The highest expression level of 17.5 U/mL of fermentation media was obtained in 0.5 % (v/v) methanol after 9 days of fermentation. The recombinant GOx was purified by cross-flow ultrafiltration using membranes of 30 kDa molecular cutoff and DEAE ion-exchange chromatography at pH 6.0. Purified wt GOx had k (cat) of 189.4 s(-1) and K (m) of 28.26 mM while M12 GOx had k (cat) of 352.0 s(-1) and K (m) of 13.33 mM for glucose at pH 5.5. Specificity constants k (cat)/K (m) of wt (6.70 mM(-1) s(-1)) and M12 GOx (26.7 mM(-1) s(-1)) expressed in P. pastoris KM71H were around three times higher than for the same enzymes previously expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae InvSc1 strain. The pH optimum and sugar specificity of M12 mutant of GOx remained similar to the wild-type form of the enzyme, while thermostability was slightly decreased. M12 GOx expressed in P. pastoris showed three times higher activity compared to the wt GOx toward redox mediators like N,N-dimethyl-nitroso-aniline used for glucose strips manufacturing. M12 mutant of GOx produced in P. pastoris KM71H could be useful for manufacturing of glucose biosensors and biofuel cells.

AB  - Glucose oxidase (GOx) catalyzes the oxidation of glucose to form gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide, a reaction with important applications in food preservation, the manufacture of cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, and the development of glucose monitoring devices and biofuel cells. We expressed Aspergillus niger wild type GOx and the B11 mutant, which has twice the activity of the wild type enzyme at pH 5.5, as C-terminal fusions with the Saccharomyces cerevisiae Aga2 protein, allowing the fusion proteins to be displayed on the surface of yeast EBY100 cells. After expression, we extracted the proteins from the yeast cell wall and purified them by ion-exchange chromatography and ultrafiltration. This produced a broad 100-140 kDa band by denaturing SDS-PAGE and a high-molecular-weight band by native PAGE corresponding to the activity band revealed by zymography. The wild type and B11 fusion proteins had k(cat) values of 33.3 and 61.3 s(-1) and K-m values for glucose of 33.4 and 27.9 mM, respectively. The pH optimum for both enzymes was 5.0. The kinetic properties of the fusion proteins displayed the same ratio as their native counterparts, confirming that yeast surface display is suitable for the high-throughput directed evolution of GOx using flow cytometry for selection. Aga2-GOx fusion proteins in the yeast cell wall could also be used as immobilized catalysts for the production of gluconic acid.

AB  - The antimicrobial activity of the freshwater bryozoan Hyalinella punctata (Hancock, 1850) was tested by microdilution method against eight bacteria and eight fungi for the first time. All five crude extracts (hexane, acetone, dimethyl sulfoxide, methanol and water) showed good antibacterial and antifungal potential in vitro wherein the acetone extract was the most active (MICs 0.50-7.00 mu g/ml and MBCs 2.50-10.00 mu g/ml).
