RESUMO

This study reports the successful development of a sustainable synthesis protocol for a phase-pure metal azolate framework (MAF-6) and its application in enzyme immobilization. An esterase@MAF-6 biocomposite was synthesized, and its catalytic performance was compared with that of esterase@ZIF-8 and esterase@ZIF-90 in transesterification reactions. Esterase@MAF-6, with its large pore aperture, showed superior enzymatic performance compared to esterase@ZIF-8 and esterase@ZIF-90 in catalyzing transesterification reactions using both n-propanol and benzyl alcohol as reactants. The hydrophobic nature of the MAF-6 platform was shown to activate the immobilized esterase into its open-lid conformation, which exhibited a 1.5- and 4-times enzymatic activity as compared to free esterase in catalyzing transesterification reaction using n-propanol and benzyl alcohol, respectively. The present work offers insights into the potential of MAF-6 as a promising matrix for enzyme immobilization and highlights the need to explore MOF matrices with expanded pore apertures to broaden their practical applications in biocatalysis.

RESUMO

Because of their efficiency, selectivity, and environmental sustainability, there are significant opportunities for enzymes in chemical synthesis and biotechnology. However, as the three-dimensional active structure of enzymes is predominantly maintained by weaker noncovalent interactions, thermal, pH, and chemical stressors can modify or eliminate activity. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), which are extended porous network materials assembled by a bottom-up building block approach from metal-based nodes and organic linkers, can be used to afford protection to enzymes. The self-assembled structures of MOFs can be used to encase an enzyme in a process called encapsulation when the MOF is synthesized in the presence of the biomolecule. Alternatively, enzymes can be infiltrated into mesoporous MOF structures or surface bound via covalent or noncovalent processes. Integration of MOF materials and enzymes in this way affords protection and allows the enzyme to maintain activity in challenge conditions (e.g., denaturing agents, elevated temperature, non-native pH, and organic solvents). In addition to forming simple enzyme/MOF biocomposites, other materials can be introduced to the composites to improve recovery or facilitate advanced applications in sensing and fuel cell technology. This review canvasses enzyme protection via encapsulation, pore infiltration, and surface adsorption and summarizes strategies to form multicomponent composites. Also, given that enzyme/MOF biocomposites straddle materials chemistry and enzymology, this review provides an assessment of the characterization methodologies used for MOF-immobilized enzymes and identifies some key parameters to facilitate development of the field.

RESUMO

A new alkyne-based hydrocarbon cage was synthesized in high overall yield using alkyne-alkyne coupling in the cage forming step. The cage is porous and displays a moderately high BET surface area (546 m2 g-1 ). The cage loses crystallinity on activation and thus is porous in its amorphous form, while very similar cages have been either non-porous, or retained crystallinity on activation. Reaction of the cage with Co2 (CO)8 results in exhaustive metalation of its 12 alkyne groups to give the Co24 (CO)72 adduct of the cage in good yield.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The deregulation of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is associated with diverse human disorders, including cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury (CI/RI). LncRNA SNHG14 was reported to function in CI/RI. Whereas, molecular mechanisms regulated by SNHG14 are not fully unveiled. METHODS: Mice subjected to middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion (MCAO/R) were used as CI/RI animal models. Neuro-2a (N2A) cells subjected to oxygen glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) were used as CI/RI cell models. The expression of SNHG14, miR-98-5p and BCL2 like 13 (BCL2L13) was examined using quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) or western blot. Apoptosis was monitored by flow cytometry assay. Apoptosis-related markers and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-related markers were quantified by western blot. Inflammatory factors and oxidative stress were detected using matched commercial kits. The predicted relationship between miR-98-5p and SNHG14 or BCL2L13 was validated by dual-luciferase reporter assay, RIP assay and pull-down assay. RESULTS: The high expression of SNHG14 was monitored in MCAO/R-treated mice and OGD/R-treated N2A cells. OGD/R-induced N2A cell apoptosis, ER stress, inflammation and oxidative stress were attenuated by SNHG14 knockdown. SNHG14 targeted miR-98-5p to positively regulate BCL2L13 expression. Inhibition of miR-98-5p recovered cell apoptosis, ER stress, inflammation and oxidative stress that were repressed by SNHG14 knockdown. Overexpression of BCL2L13 enhanced cell apoptosis, ER stress, inflammation and oxidative stress that were repressed by miR-98-5p enrichment. CONCLUSIONS: SNHG14 knockdown alleviated OGD/induced N2A cell apoptosis, ER stress, inflammation and oxidative stress by depleting BCL2L13 via increasing miR-98-5p.

RESUMO

Three-dimensional electron diffraction (3DED) has been proven as an effective and accurate method for structure determination of nano-sized crystals. In the past decade, the crystal structures of various new complex metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been revealed by 3DED, which has been the key to understand their properties. However, due to the design of transmission electron microscopes (TEMs), one drawback of 3DED experiments is the limited tilt range of goniometers, which often leads to incomplete 3DED data, particularly when the crystal symmetry is low. This drawback can be overcome by high throughput data collection using continuous rotation electron diffraction (cRED), where data from a large number of crystals can be collected and merged. Here, we investigate the effects of improving completeness on structural analysis of MOFs. We use ZIF-EC1, a zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF), as an example. ZIF-EC1 crystallizes in a monoclinic system with a plate-like morphology. cRED data of ZIF-EC1 with different completeness and resolution were analyzed. The data completeness increased to 92.0% by merging ten datasets. Although the structures could be solved from individual datasets with a completeness as low as 44.5% and refined to a high precision (better than 0.04 Å), we demonstrate that a high data completeness could improve the structural model, especially on the electrostatic potential map. We further discuss the strategy adopted during data merging. We also show that ZIF-EC1 doped with cobalt can act as an efficient electrocatalyst for oxygen reduction reactions.

RESUMO

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are known for their versatile combination of inorganic building units and organic linkers, which offers immense opportunities in a wide range of applications. However, many MOFs are typically synthesized as multiphasic polycrystalline powders, which are challenging for studies by X-ray diffraction. Therefore, developing new structural characterization techniques is highly desired in order to accelerate discoveries of new materials. Here, we report a high-throughput approach for structural analysis of MOF nano- and sub-microcrystals by three-dimensional electron diffraction (3DED). A new zeolitic-imidazolate framework (ZIF), denoted ZIF-EC1, was first discovered in a trace amount during the study of a known ZIF-CO3 -1 material by 3DED. The structures of both ZIFs were solved and refined using 3DED data. ZIF-EC1 has a dense 3D framework structure, which is built by linking mono- and bi-nuclear Zn clusters and 2-methylimidazolates (mIm- ). With a composition of Zn3 (mIm)5 (OH), ZIF-EC1 exhibits high N and Zn densities. We show that the N-doped carbon material derived from ZIF-EC1 is a promising electrocatalyst for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). The discovery of this new MOF and its conversion to an efficient electrocatalyst highlights the power of 3DED in developing new materials and their applications.

RESUMO

Zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF) biocomposites show the capacity to protect and deliver biotherapeutics. To date, the progress in this research area is based on laboratory batch methods. Now, the first continuous flow synthetic method is presented for the encapsulation of a model protein (bovine serum albumin, BSA) and a clinical therapeutic (α1-antitrypsin, AAT) in ZIF-8. The in situ kinetics of nucleation, growth, and crystallization of BSA@ZIF-8 were studied by small-angle X-ray scattering. By controlling the injection time of ethanol, the particle growth could be quenched by ethanol-induced crystallization from amorphous particles to ZIF-8 crystals. The particle size of the biocomposite was tuned in the 40-100 nm range by varying residence time prior to introduction of ethanol. As a proof-of-concept, this procedure was used for the encapsulation of AAT in ZIF-8. Upon release of the biotherapeutic from the composite, the trypsin inhibitor function of AAT was preserved.

RESUMO

Protection of biological assemblies is critical to applications in biotechnology, increasing the durability of enzymes in biocatalysis or potentially stabilizing biotherapeutics during transport and use. Here we show that a porous hydrogen-bonded organic framework (HOF) constructed from water-soluble tetra-amidinium (1·Cl4) and tetracarboxylate (2) building blocks can encapsulate and stabilize biomolecules to elevated temperature, proteolytic and denaturing agents, and extend the operable pH range for catalase activity. The HOF, which readily retains water within its framework structure, can also protect and retain the activity of enzymes such as alcohol oxidase, that are inactive when encapsulated within zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF) materials. Such HOF coatings could provide valid alternative materials to ZIFs: they are metal free, possess larger pore apertures, and are stable over a wider, more biologically relevant pH range.

RESUMO

Encapsulation of biomacromolecules in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can preserve biological functionality in harsh environments. Despite the success of this approach, termed biomimietic mineralization, limited consideration has been given to the chemistry of the MOF coating. Here, we show that enzymes encapsulated within hydrophilic MAF-7 or ZIF-90 retain enzymatic activity upon encapsulation and when exposed to high temperatures, denaturing or proteolytic agents, and organic solvents, whereas hydrophobic ZIF-8 affords inactive catalase and negligible protection to urease.

RESUMO

The paper proposes a new method for measuring the azimuth pointing of spaceborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) antenna beams based on the ground receiver, which can receive and record complex sampling data of the pulse signals transmitted from the spaceborne SAR. The center of the antenna pattern is extracted from the complex sampling data amplitude envelope to obtain the time when the beam main lobe center irradiates the ground receiver, and the range migration information is extracted from the complex sampling data to obtain the time when the satellite is over the top of the ground receiver. The results of Chinese civilian remote sensing GaoFen-3 SAR satellite experiment data processing show that the measurement accuracy of this method is better than 0.002°, which can be applied to the accurate measurement of azimuth pointing of various low Earth orbit (LEO) SAR antenna beams.

RESUMO

Single-cell capture plays an important role in single-cell manipulation and analysis. This paper presents a microfluidic device for deterministic single-cell trapping based on the hydrodynamic trapping mechanism. The device is composed of an S-shaped loop channel and thousands of aligned trap units. This arrayed structure enables each row of the device to be treated equally and independently, as it has row periodicity. A theoretical model was established and a simulation was conducted to optimize the key geometric parameters, and the performance was evaluated by conducting experiments on MCF-7 and Jurkat cells. The results showed improvements in single-cell trapping ability, including loading efficiency, capture speed, and the density of the patterned cells. The optimized device can achieve a capture efficiency of up to 100% and single-cell capture efficiency of up to 95%. This device offers 200 trap units in an area of 1 mm², which enables 100 single cells to be observed simultaneously using a microscope with a 20× objective lens. One thousand cells can be trapped sequentially within 2 min; this is faster than the values obtained with previously reported devices. Furthermore, the cells can also be recovered by reversely infusing solutions. The structure can be easily extended to a large scale, and a patterned array with 32,000 trap sites was accomplished on a single chip. This device can be a powerful tool for high-throughput single-cell analysis, cell heterogeneity investigation, and drug screening.

RESUMO

A porous organic polymer incorporating [(α-diimine)Re(CO)3Cl] moieties was produced and tested in the photocatalytic reduction of CO2, with NEt3 as a sacrificial donor. The catalyst generated both H2 and CO, although the Re moiety was not required for H2 generation. After an induction period, the Re-containing porous organic polymer produced CO at a stable rate, unless soluble [(bpy)Re(CO)3Cl] (bpy=2,2'-bipyridine) was added. This provides the strongest evidence to date that [(α-diimine)Re(CO)3Cl] catalysts for photocatalytic CO2 reduction decompose through a bimetallic pathway.

RESUMO

In this study, we present the first example of using a machine learning (ML)-assisted design strategy to optimize the synthesis formulation of enzyme/ZIFs (zeolitic imidazolate framework) for enhanced performance. Glucose oxidase (GOx) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) were chosen as model enzymes, while Zn(eIM)2 (eIM = 2-ethylimidazolate) was selected as the model ZIF to test our ML-assisted workflow paradigm. Through an iterative ML-driven training-design-synthesis-measurement workflow, we efficiently discovered GOx/ZIF (G151) and HRP/ZIF (H150) with their overall performance index (OPI) values (OPI represents the product of encapsulation efficiency (E in %), retained enzymatic activity (A in %), and thermal stability (T in %)) at least 1.3 times higher than those in systematic seed data studies. Furthermore, advanced statistical methods derived from the trained random forest model qualitatively and quantitatively reveal the relationship among synthesis, structure, and performance in the enzyme/ZIF system, offering valuable guidance for future studies on enzyme/ZIFs. Overall, our proposed ML-assisted design strategy holds promise for accelerating the development of enzyme/ZIFs and other enzyme immobilization systems for biocatalysis applications and beyond, including drug delivery and sensing, among others.

RESUMO

A series of tagged MIL-140A-R frameworks have been synthesized using a microwave-assisted solvothermal method. Compared with their UiO-66-R polymorphs, the absorption energies in the MIL-140A-R series (R = NH2, NO2, Br, Cl, and F) are extended toward the visible region because of the spatial arrangement of the linkers.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Giant cervical disc herniation (GCDH) was defined as a herniated intervertebral disc that accounted for more than 50% of the spinal canal. The purpose of this study was to analyse the feasibility of anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) for the treatment of GCDH. METHODS: Patient demographic and imaging data, clinical results, and perioperative complications were analysed retrospectively. RESULTS: A total of 23 patients were included in the study. Spinal cord recovery pulsation was observed under a microscope in all cases. Postoperative magnetic resonance imaging showed complete decompression of the spinal cord and no residual intervertebral disc. The patients were followed up for 12 to 18 months. The average visual analogue scale score and Neck Disability Index decreased from 8.6 ± 0.5 and 86.0 ± 2.7% to 2.2 ± 0.2 and 26.7 ± 2.0%, respectively, three days after surgery. The average Japanese Orthopedic Association score increased from 6.9 ± 2.1 to 13.9 ± 1.1. The cervical spinal cord function improvement rate was 69.3%. No neurological complications after surgery were observed. CONCLUSION: This study shows that ACDF is feasible for the treatment of GCDH disease. The results indicate that this approach can be used to safely remove herniated disc fragments, effectively relieve compression of the spinal cord, and improve neurological function.

RESUMO

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with Brønsted acidity are an alternative solid acid catalyst for many important chemical and fuel processes. However, the nature of the Brønsted acidity on the MOF's metal cluster or center is underexplored. To design and optimize the acid strength and density in these MOFs, it is important to understand the origin of their acidity at the molecular level. In the present work, isoreticular MOFs, ZrNDI and HfNDI (NDI = N,N'-bis(5-isophthalate)naphthalenediimide), were prepared as a prototypical system to unravel and compare their Brønsted and Lewis acid sites through an array of spectroscopic, computational, and catalytic characterization techniques. With the aid of solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance and density functional calculations, Hf6 oxo-clusters on HfNDI are quantitatively proved to possess a higher density Brønsted acid site, while ZrNDI-based MOFs display stronger and higher-population Lewis acidity. HfNDI-based MOFs exhibit a superior catalytic performance in activating dihydroxyacetone (DHA) and converting DHA to ethyl lactate, with 71.1% selectivity at 54.7% conversion after 6 h. The turnover frequency of BAS-dominated Hf-MOF in DHA conversion is over 50 times higher than that of ZSM-5, a strong BAS-based zeolite. It is worth noting that HfNDI is reported for the first time in the literature, which is an alternative platform catalyst for biorefining and green chemistry. The present study furthermore highlights the uniqueness of Hf-based MOFs in this important biomass-to-chemical transformation.

RESUMO

Metal-organic layers (MOLs) are of great interest in heterogeneous catalysis, particularly materials that can accommodate extraneous metal centres. Here, we demonstrate a two-step preorganisation/delamination synthetic strategy using CuI as a template to prepare Zr-based MOLs with accessible 'syn' bis-pyrazolyl chelating sites (named UAM-2·ns) that are poised for quantitative post-synthetic metalation with late transition metals.

RESUMO

Metal-organic framework (MOF) coatings on cells enhance viability in cytotoxic environments. Here, we show how protective multi-layered MOF bio-composite shells on a model cell system (yeast) enhance the proliferation of living cells exposed to hostile protease-rich environments via the dissolution of the shells and release of a protease inhibitor (antitrypsin).

RESUMO

Aberrant expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) has been reported to play a role in tumorigenesis. Dysfunction of miR-1296 was found in a variety of cancers, however, the function of miR-1296 in the progression of glioma remains largely understood. Here, our results showed that miR-1296 was significantly down-regulated in glioma tissues and cell lines. Decreased expression of miR-1296 was associated with the tumor size, WHO grade and karnofsky performance scale (KPS) of glioma patients. Low expression of miR-1296 was significantly correlated with the shorter 5-year overall survival of glioma patients. Overexpression of miR-1296 inhibited the proliferation, colony formation, migration and induced apoptosis of glioma cells. MiR-1296 was found to bind the 3'-untranslated region (UTR) of ABL proto-oncogene 2 (ABL2) and subsequently repressed both the mRNA and protein expression of ABL2. ABL2 was overexpressed in glioma tissues and inversely correlated with that of miR-1296. Ectopic expressed ABL2 could reverse the inhibitory effects of miR-1296 on glioma cell proliferation. Our results illustrated the novel tumor-suppressive function of miR-1296 in glioma via repressing ABL2, suggesting a potential application of miR-1296 in the treatment of glioma.

RESUMO

The immobilization of enzymes in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with preserved biofunctionality paves a promising way to solve problems regarding the stability and reusability of enzymes. However, the rational design of MOF-based biocomposites remains a considerable challenge as very little is known about the state of the enzyme, the MOF support, and their host-guest interactions upon immobilization. In this study, we elucidate the detailed host-guest interaction for MOF immobilized enzymes in the biointerface. Two enzymes with different sizes, lipase and insulin, have been immobilized in a mesoporous PCN-333(Al) MOF. The dynamic changes of local structures of the MOF host and enzyme guests have been experimentally revealed for the existence of the confinement effect to enzymes and van der Waals interaction in the biointerface between the aluminum oxo-cluster of the PCN-333 and the -NH2 species of enzymes. This kind of host-guest interaction renders the immobilization of enzymes in PCN-333 with high affinity and highly preserved enzymatic bioactivity.
