Azo dyes, widely used in global textiles, persist in wastewater causing significant ecological and health risks, necessitating efficient degradation to protect ecosystems and public health. The development of artificial metalloenzymes has provided advanced biotechnological solutions to address this challenge. This study presents a highly efficient artificial metalloenzyme, F43Y/H64D myoglobin (F43Y/H64D Mb), engineered from sperm whale myoglobin with a modified heme active site by replacement of Phe43 with Tyr and His64 with Asp, respectively, for azo dye degradation. The engineered enzyme achieved degradation efficiencies of approximately 93 %, 93 %, and 90 % for Acid Orange 7, Methyl Orange, and Acid Blue 92, respectively, within 10 seconds. Its overall catalytic efficiency was found to be approximately 3.6 times higher than that of horseradish peroxidase, a widely used natural enzyme. HPLC and ESI-MS analyses proposed degradation pathways, and bacterial toxicity tests confirmed reduced toxicity post-degradation. Furthermore, F43Y/H64D Mb exhibited excellent performance in natural aquatic environments, surpassing many recently reported results in efficiency, reaction speed, and operational simplicity. These findings highlight the feasibility of F43Y/H64D Mb for efficient azo dye decolorization and degradation in wastewater, offering a novel enzymatic tool for sustainable environmental remediation.

Heme proteins have recently emerged as promising artificial metalloenzymes for catalyzing diverse reactions. In this report, L29E Mb, a single mutant of myoglobin, was reconstituted with a sodium copper cholorophyllin to form a new green artificial enzyme (CuCP-L29E Mb), which was characterized by spectroscopic techniques (UV-vis and EPR). The CuCP-L29E Mb was found to exhibit hydrolytic DNA cleavage activity that was not depending on O 2 . In addition, Mg 2+ ion could effectively promote the DNA cleavage activity of CuCP-L29E Mb. CuCP-WT Mb, wild-type myoglobin reconstituted with CuCP, did not show DNA cleavage activity under the same conditions. These results suggested the ligand Glu29 of protein is a critical residue for the nuclease activity. © 2022, The Authors. All rights reserved.

Empirical structural methods have been instrumental in drug design, but they often fall short of capturing protein dynamics. To address this limitation, computer-aided drug design (CADD) is essential. Given that Schistosoma bovis 28 kDa-Glutathione S-Transferase (Sb28GST) is a promising anti-schistosome drug target, a careful selection of crystal structure space groups used for CADD is emphasized in this study. Sb28GST was successfully overexpressed and purified to grow protein crystals with a resolution of 2.4 Å in an orthorhombic space group system. High-throughput virtual screening (HTVS) of a flavonoid compound was performed on monoclinic 8ALS and orthorhombic 8BHZ Sb28GST to identify potential ligands. The results showed a diverse selection of hit compounds with apigenin 7-O-(2G-rhamnosyl)gentiobioside (apigenin) being the common ligand. However, quercetin-3-O-Beta-D-Glucose-7-O-Beta-D-Gentiobioside (quercetin) showed the highest affinity to 8ALS with a Glide gscore of −15.66 kcal/mol. Also, 500-ns molecular dynamics simulations (MDS) of the 8ALS-Sb28GST and 8BHZ-Sb28GST apo systems, as well as their corresponding apigenin and quercetin complexes, show two distinct trajectories which reveal significant differences in their dynamic behaviour and also showed varying interactions. This highlights the need for collective assessment of protein polymorphs to comprehensively understand protein dynamics. The inhibitory potency of apigenin and quercetin via a GSH-CDNB conjugation assay confirmed that they significantly reduced the specific enzyme activity of Sb28GST with both ligands having half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC₅₀) of 0.13 mM. Extrinsic fluorescence studies and thermal shift assay indicated that these compounds bind to the hydrophobic H-site and allosteric L-site at the dimer interface and have a minimal effect on the protein's thermal stability. © 2025 The Authors

Metal complexes, particularly copper (II) complexes, are often used as anticancer drugs due to their ability to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cells. Four copper (II) complexes were designed based on ligands for triplet pyridine derivatives (complexes 1-4), and their structures were determined using X-ray single crystal analysis. The interaction of these complexes with calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) was investigated using various techniques, including UV-vis absorption, viscosity measurements, and circular dichroism spectral measurements. The results indicated that complexes 1-4 strongly interact with DNA through partial intercalation. Further investigation using agarose gel electrophoresis showed that all four complexes can cleave pBR322 DNA in the presence of ascorbic acid as a reducing agent, and the DNA cleavage mechanism is through the generation of singlet oxygen (1O2). In vitro anticancer activity of these complexes was evaluated using A549, MDA-MB-231, HeLa, and HepG2 cells. The calculated IC50 values indicated significant efficacy against cancer cells. Additionally, AO/EB staining assays revealed that these complexes induced cell apoptosis in HeLa cell line. © 2023, The Authors. All rights reserved.

The sequence and structure of human cytochrome c (hCyt c) exhibit evolutionary conservations, with only a limited number of naturally occurring mutations in humans. Herein, we investigated the effects of naturally occurring S47F/A mutations on the structure and function of hCyt c. Although the naturally occurring S47F/A mutations did not largely alter the protein structure, the S47F and S47A variants exhibited a small fraction of high-spin species. Kinetic studies showed that the peroxidase activity of the variants was enhanced by ~2.5-fold under neutral pH conditions, as well as for the rate in reaction with H2O2, when compared to those of wild-type hCyt c. In addition, we evaluated the interaction between hCyt c and human neuroglobin (hNgb) by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) studies, which revealed that the binding constant was reduced by ~8-fold as result of the mutation of the hydrophilic Ser to the hydrophobic Phe/Ala. These findings provide valuable insights into the role of Ser47 in W-loop C in sustaining the structure and function of hCyt c. © 2023, The Authors. All rights reserved.

Design of functional metalloenzymes have addressed much attention in the last decade. Myoglobin(Mb) is an ideal model protein for heme protein design, and we have rationally designed some functional enzymes in Mb by using several strategies, such as by using post-translational modifications, design of a metal-binding site and an intramolecular disulfide bond, and introduction of non-native cofactors, etc. The designed artificial metalloenzymes include artificial nitrite reductase, hydrolase, dye-decolorizing peroxidases(DyP s) and dehaloperoxidases(DHPs), with the catalytic efficiency close to or even exceeding those of native enzymes. Moreover, we have solved the X-ray crystal structure of some artificial enzymes, which provides valuable insights into the structure and function relationship, as well as potential applications for green biocatalysis.

By the reaction of different aromatic dicarboxylic acid with zinc nitrate, three metal-carboxylate frameworks, [Zn3（BDC）3（EtOH）2]（1）, [Zn3（BDC）3（py）2]·2DMF（2）, and [Zn3（NH2-BDC）3（H2O）2]·5DMF（3） which are constructed on the same linear trinuclear Zn3（RCOO）6 secondary building units, have been synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction analyses. Structural analyses showed that there are terephthalic acids as ligand linkers to form the hxl topological layer structures for 1 and 2. The introduction of the rigid aromatic ring pyridine in 2 as the terminal co-ligand of Zn3-SBU to instead of the flexible ethanol in 1, will form the layer-pillared supramolecular systems with 2-D crisscross channels, through its π-π stacking interactions. Owing to the steric hindrance of amino groups, 3 was assembled into a three-dimensional porous structure with pcu topology derived from the 2-amino-terephthalic acid as linkers to connect the Zn3-SBUs through a head-to-tail type.

The present work aims to study the drought stress effects on polyamine content and its relationship with growth and development in seeds, during cell division (from the beginning and until 17 days after pollination) and grain filling (until reaching the physiological maturity) stages. Factorial experiment based on Randomized Complete Block (RCB) design was carried out with three replications. Two factors of the experiment were considered: the level of irrigation (irrigation without and with drought stress during cell division stage and with drought stress during grain filling stage) and the level of wheat genotype (drought-resistant, semi-resistant and sensitive genotypes). As control treatment, soil moisture content of the field was considered. For drought-stress treatment, the 50% of the soil moisture content in control treatment was established. According to the experimental results, Putrescine content value is higher in control treatment which develops seeds of drought-resistant genotypes than that are registered for semi-resistant and sensitive genotypes. Both drought stress treatments induced significant rises in putrescine amount in the different genotypes of the study. The rises of putrescine content in sensitive and semi-resistant genotypes, however, were higher than in resistant ones, and the highest rise in putrescine content appeared in manning semi-resistant genotype during the stage of grain filling (27 days after pollination). Exerting drought stress in both stages of cell division and grain filling led to significant increase in spermine and spermidine contents of developing seeds of entire genotypes of the study. The highest spermidine content during grain filling stage occurred in sensitive genotypes of Shark and Tevee’s, and the lowest occurred in semi-resistant genotype of Sabalan. The highest spermine content during cell division stage, though, happened in semi-resistant genotype of manning. In fact, spermine and spermidine act as analogous to p
