Complexation of Am(III) and Nd(III) by 1,10-Phenanthroline-2,9-Dicarboxylic Acid

The complexant 1,10-phenanthroline-2,9-dicarboxylic acid (PDA) is a planar tetradentate ligand that is more preorganized for metal complexation than its unconstrained analogue ethylendiiminodiacetic acid (EDDA). Furthermore, the backbone nitrogen atoms of PDA are aromatic, hence are softer than the aliphatic amines of EDDA. It has been hypothesized that PDA will selectively bond to trivalent actinides over lanthanides. In this report, the results of spectrophotometric studies of the complexation of Nd(III) and Am(III) by PDA are reported. Because the complexes are moderately stable, it was necessary to conduct these titrations using competitive equilibrium methods, competitive cation omplexing between PDA and diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid, and competition between ligand protonation and complex formation. Stability constants and ligand protonation constants were determined at 0.1 mol/L ionic strength and at 0.5 mol/L ionic strength nitrate media at 21 ± 1 C. The stability constants are lower than those predicted from first principles and speciation calculations indicate that Am(III) selectivity over Nd(III) is less than that exhibited by 1,10-phenanthroline.

Structure of Methanol Solvated Iodozinc(II) Complexes in Solution

The structures of the solvated zinc ion and the solvated zinc–iodide complexes in methanol solution have been determined by EXAFS. The zinc ion is six-coordinated in an octahedral fashion with a mean Zn–O bond distance of 2.071(4) Å . According to the stability constants of the zinc–iodide system in methanol solution the first complex, ZnI + , is suppressed, which may indicate that a coordination change takes place at this step. On the other hand, the second complex, ZnI 2 , predominates at excess of iodide. The methanol solvated ZnI 2 complex has a tetrahedral structure with mean Zn–I and Zn–O bond distances of 2.55(1) and 1.99(1) Å , respectively. The mean Zn–I bond distance in a solution containing a maximal content of ZnI + , ca. 12%, strongly indicates that the first complex also has a tetrahedral structure.

Nano-mechanical mapping of the interactions between surface-bound RC-LH1-PufX core complexes and cytochrome c 2 attached to an AFM probe

Electron transfer pathways in photosynthesis involve interactions between membrane-bound complexes such as reaction centres with an extrinsic partner. In this study, the biological specificity of electron transfer between the reaction centre-light-harvesting 1-PufX complex and its extrinsic electron donor, cytochrome c 2 , formed the basis for mapping the location of surface-attached RC-LH1-PufX complexes using atomic force microscopy (AFM). This nano-mechanical mapping method used an AFM probe functionalised with cyt c 2 molecules to quantify the interaction forces involved, at the single-molecule level under native conditions. With surface-bound RC-His 12 -LH1-PufX complexes in the photo-oxidised state, the mean interaction force with cyt c 2 is approximately 480 pN with an interaction frequency of around 66 %. The latter value lowered 5.5-fold when chemically reduced RC-His 12 -LH1-PufX complexes are imaged in the dark to abolish electron transfer from cyt c 2 to the RC. The correspondence between topographic and adhesion images recorded over the same area of the sample shows that affinity-based AFM methods are a useful tool when topology alone is insufficient for spatially locating proteins at the surface of photosynthetic membranes.

Interpreting the Lipidome: Bioinformatic Approaches to Embrace the Complexity

Background Improvements in mass spectrometry (MS) technologies coupled with bioinformatics developments have allowed considerable advancement in the measurement and interpretation of lipidomics data in recent years. Since research areas employing lipidomics are rapidly increasing, there is a great need for bioinformatic tools that capture and utilize the complexity of the data. Currently, the diversity and complexity within the lipidome is often concealed by summing over or averaging individual lipids up to (sub)class-based descriptors, losing valuable information about biological function and interactions with other distinct lipids molecules, proteins and/or metabolites. Aim of review To address this gap in knowledge, novel bioinformatics methods are needed to improve identification, quantification, integration and interpretation of lipidomics data. The purpose of this mini-review is to summarize exemplary methods to explore the complexity of the lipidome. Key scientific concepts of review Here we describe six approaches that capture three core focus areas for lipidomics: (1) lipidome annotation including a resolvable database identifier, (2) interpretation via pathway- and enrichment-based methods, and (3) understanding complex interactions to emphasize specific steps in the analytical process and highlight challenges in analyses associated with the complexity of lipidome data.

Formation Mechanism and Nucleation Effect of Ti{sub 2}O{sub 3}–TiN Complex Nucleus at Solidification Front of 18Cr Ferritic Stainless Steel

Formation mechanism of Ti{sub 2}O{sub 3}–TiN complex nucleus and its nucleation effect on δ-Fe at solidification front of Fe-18Cr ferritic stainless steel was investigated through experimental and theoretical methods. According to the equilibrium calculation, Ti{sub 2}O{sub 3} will crystallize in the molten steel before solidification and TiN will not form until the solid phases appear. However, complex nucleus and equiaxed grains exist in the edge of Ti-bearing ingot, where the solidification velocity and temperature gradient are high. Therefore, complex nucleus is indicated to be formed at solidification front and a non-equilibrium solidification model for multi-component alloy was established to investigate the dendrite tip interface phenomenon. The calculation results exhibit an element enrichment at solidification front and explain well with the formation of complex nucleus before solidification. It is also found that there is approximate lattice matching between TiN, and Ti{sub 2}O{sub 3}, δ-Fe on the basis of disregistry theory. These results are consistent with the observed complex nucleus and the increased equiaxed zone ratio (EZR) of Ti-bearing ferritic stainless steel.

Rapid Quadrupole-Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry Method Quantifies Oxygen-Rich Lignin Compound in Complex Mixtures

Complex mixture analysis is a costly and time-consuming task facing researchers with foci as varied as food science and fuel analysis. When faced with the task of quantifying oxygen-rich bio-oil molecules in a complex diesel mixture, we asked whether complex mixtures could be qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed on a single mass spectrometer with mid-range resolving power without the use of lengthy separations. To answer this question, we developed and evaluated a quantitation method that eliminated chromatography steps and expanded the use of quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry from primarily qualitative to quantitative as well. To account for mixture complexity, the method employed an ionization dopant, targeted tandem mass spectrometry, and an internal standard. This combination of three techniques achieved reliable quantitation of oxygen-rich eugenol in diesel from 300 to 2500 ng/mL with sufficient linearity (R{sup 2} = 0.97 ± 0.01) and excellent accuracy (percent error = 0% ± 5). To understand the limitations of the method, it was compared to quantitation attained on a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer, the gold standard for quantitation. The triple quadrupole quantified eugenol from 50 to 2500 ng/mL with stronger linearity (R{sup 2} = 0.996 ± 0.003) than the quadrupole-time-of-flight and comparable accuracy (percent error = 4% ± 5). This demonstrates that a quadrupole-time-of-flight can be used for not only qualitative analysis but also targeted quantitation of oxygen-rich lignin molecules in complex mixtures without extensive sample preparation. The rapid and cost-effective method presented here offers new possibilities for bio-oil research, including: (1) allowing for bio-oil studies that demand repetitive analysis as process parameters are changed and (2) making this research accessible to more laboratories. .

The phase delay and its complex time: From stationary states up to wave packets

Complex time is often invoked about tunneling effect where the classical phase delay is completed with a crucial filter effect. Usually the complex times are obtained by considering the flux-flux correlation function, but this can be obtained by a very simple approach using the search of the maximum of the generalized complex phase function, including the amplitude of the wave function. Various aspects of the phase delay are presented in the case of wave packets impinging on simple or resonant quantum barriers. Formal links with the classical mechanics give birth to quasi-trajectories of the quantum particle, totally compatible with the quantum mechanics. - Highlights: Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer The stationary phase method is extended in including the variations of the spectra. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer The complex phase delay leads to a complex trajectory inside and out-side the barrier. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer Examples of quasi-trajectories are given in case of different quantum barriers. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer Phase delays are specified for resonant tunneling or above-barrier wave-packets. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer The coherence between the quasi-trajectories and quantum mechanics is shown.

Cloning, characterization and sub-cellular localization of gamma subunit of T-complex protein-1 (chaperonin) from Leishmania donovani

Highlights: Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer The study presents cloning and characterization of TCP1{gamma} gene from L. donovani. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer TCP1{gamma} is a subunit of T-complex protein-1 (TCP1), a chaperonin class of protein. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer LdTCP{gamma} exhibited differential expression in different stages of promastigotes. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer LdTCP{gamma} co-localized with actin, a cytoskeleton protein. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer The data suggests that this gene may have a role in differentiation/biogenesis. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer First report on this chapronin in Leishmania. -- Abstract: T-complex protein-1 (TCP1) complex, a chaperonin class of protein, ubiquitous in all genera of life, is involved in intracellular assembly and folding of various proteins. The gamma subunit of TCP1 complex (TCP1{gamma}), plays a pivotal role in the folding and assembly of cytoskeleton protein(s) as an individual or complexed with other subunits. Here, we report for the first time cloning, characterization and expression of the TCP1{gamma} of Leishmania donovani (LdTCP1{gamma}), the causative agent of Indian Kala-azar. Primary sequence analysis of LdTCP1{gamma} revealed the presence of all the characteristic features of TCP1{gamma}. However, leishmanial TCP1{gamma} represents a distinct kinetoplastid group, clustered in a separate branch of the phylogenic tree. LdTCP1{gamma} exhibited differential expression in different stages of promastigotes. The non-dividing stationary phase promastigotes exhibited 2.5-fold less expression of LdTCP1{gamma} as compared to rapidly dividing log phase parasites. The sub-cellular distribution of LdTCP1{gamma} was studied in log phase promastigotes by employing indirect immunofluorescence microscopy. The protein was present not only in cytoplasm but it was also localized in nucleus, peri-nuclear region, flagella, flagellar pocket and apical region. Co-localization of LdTCP1{gamma} with actin suggests that, this gene may have a role in maintaining the structural dynamics of cytoskeleton of parasite.

Metabolites from invasive pests inhibit mitochondrial complex II: A potential strategy for the treatment of human ovarian carcinoma?

The red pigment caulerpin, a secondary metabolite from the marine invasive green algae Caulerpa cylindracea can be accumulated and transferred along the trophic chain, with detrimental consequences on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. Despite increasing research efforts to understand how caulerpin modifies fish physiology, little is known on the effects of algal metabolites on mammalian cells. Here we report for the first time the mitochondrial targeting activity of both caulerpin, and its closely related derivative caulerpinic acid, by using as experimental model rat liver mitochondria, a system in which bioenergetics mechanisms are not altered. Mitochondrial function was tested by polarographic and spectrophotometric methods. Both compounds were found to selectively inhibit respiratory complex II activity, while complexes I, III, and IV remained functional. These results led us to hypothesize that both algal metabolites could be used as antitumor agents in cell lines with defects in mitochondrial complex I. Ovarian cancer cisplatin-resistant cells are a good example of cell lines with a defective complex I function on which these molecules seem to have a toxic effect on proliferation. This provided novel insight toward the potential use of metabolites from invasive Caulerpa species for the treatment of human ovarian carcinoma cisplatin-resistant cells. -- Highlights: •Novel insight toward the potential use of the algal metabolites for the treatment of human diseases. •Caulerpin and caulerpinic acid inhibit respiratory complex II activity. •Both algal metabolites could be used as antitumor agents in ovarian cancer cisplatin-resistant cells.

Binding orientation and interaction of bile salt in its ternary complex with pancreatic lipase-colipase system

Highlights: • Molecular dynamic simulation of porcine lipase-colipase with bile salt is performed. • Interactions between lipase-colipase and bile salt are analyzed. • Ternary complex is stabilized by van der Waals interactions. • Binding orientation of bile salt micelle on lipase-colipase is modelled. The interfacial activity of pancreatic lipases (PL) depends on the presence of colipase and bile salt. The activity of PL is inhibited by micellar concentrations of bile salt which can be restored by the addition of colipase. Though the formation of 1:1:1 tertiary complex by lipase-colipase-bile salt micelle is well accepted, the residue-level interactions between lipase-colipase and bile salt are yet to be clearly understood. Molecular dynamic simulations of lipase-colipase complex, lipase and colipase were performed in the presence of a model bile salt, sodium taurocholate (NaTC), at its near-CMC and supra-micellar concentrations. From the interactions obtained from the molecular dynamic simulations, the ternary complex was modelled and compared with earlier reports. The analysis suggested that a micelle of NaTC consisting of nine monomers was formed at the concave groove between lipase and colipase chain and it mainly interacted with the fourth finger of colipase. This complex was mainly stabilized by van der Waals interactions. Interestingly, the C-terminal domain of lipase which holds the colipase did not show any significant role in formation or stabilization of NaTC micelle.

Role of IκB kinase β in regulating the remodeling of the CARMA1-Bcl10-MALT1 complex

Highlights: • IKKβ is involved in membrane fusion. • IKKβ is required for initial formation and the regulation of the CBM complex. • IKKβ regulates CBM complex via phosphorylation of Bcl10 and IKKγ polyubiquitination. The current work investigates the notion that inducible clustering of signaling mediators of the IKK pathway is important for platelet activation. Thus, while the CARMA1, Bcl10, and MALT1 (CBM) complex is essential for triggering IKK/NF-κB activation upon platelet stimulation, the signals that elicit its formation and downstream effector activation remain elusive. We demonstrate herein that IKKβ is involved in membrane fusion, and serves as a critical protein kinase required for initial formation and the regulation of the CARMA1/MALT1/Bcl10/CBM complex in platelets. We also show that IKKβ regulates these processes via modulation of phosphorylation of Bcl10 and IKKγ polyubiquitination. Collectively, our data demonstrate that IKKβ regulates membrane fusion and the remodeling of the CBM complex formation.

LINC Complexes Form by Binding of Three KASH Peptides to Domain Interfaces of Trimeric SUN Proteins

Linker of nucleoskeleton and cytoskeleton (LINC) complexes span the nuclear envelope and are composed of KASH and SUN proteins residing in the outer and inner nuclear membrane, respectively. LINC formation relies on direct binding of KASH and SUN in the perinuclear space. Thereby, molecular tethers are formed that can transmit forces for chromosome movements, nuclear migration, and anchorage. We present crystal structures of the human SUN2-KASH1/2 complex, the core of the LINC complex. The SUN2 domain is rigidly attached to a trimeric coiled coil that prepositions it to bind three KASH peptides. The peptides bind in three deep and expansive grooves formed between adjacent SUN domains, effectively acting as molecular glue. In addition, a disulfide between conserved cysteines on SUN and KASH covalently links both proteins. The structure provides the basis of LINC complex formation and suggests a model for how LINC complexes might arrange into higher-order clusters to enhance force-coupling.

Structure and Conformational Dynamics of a COMPASS Histone H3K4 Methyltransferase Complex

The methylation of histone 3 lysine 4 (H3K4) is carried out by an evolutionarily conserved family of methyltransferases referred to as complex of proteins associated with Set1 (COMPASS). The activity of the catalytic SET domain (su(var)3-9, enhancer-of-zeste, and trithorax) is endowed through forming a complex with a set of core proteins that are widely shared from yeast to humans. We obtained cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) maps of the yeast Set1/COMPASS core complex at overall 4.0- to 4.4-Å resolution, providing insights into its structural organization and conformational dynamics. The Cps50 C-terminal tail weaves within the complex to provide a central scaffold for assembly. The SET domain, snugly positioned at the junction of the Y-shaped complex, is extensively contacted by Cps60 (Bre2), Cps50 (Swd1), and Cps30 (Swd3). Here, the mobile SET-I motif of the SET domain is engaged by Cps30, explaining its key role in COMPAS catalytic activity toward higher H3K4 methylation states.

Selective transport of light vs. heavy rare earth elements by sulfate/bisulfate complexes in hydrothermal fluids

Here, this study explores the transport of rare earth elements (REE) in acidic sulfate-bearing hydrothermal fluids and the implications for the fractionation of light/heavy REE in critical mineral deposits. The speciation of Nd (light REE) and Yb (heavy REE) sulfate complexes were determined via in situ Raman spectroscopy using fused SiO 2 capillary cells up to 300 ºC at saturated water vapor pressure and in a hydrothermal diamond anvil cell up to 500 ºC and 540 MPa. The REE monosulfate (REESO 4 + ) and REE disulfate (REE(SO 4 ) 2 - ) species are stable below 150 to 250 ºC but become less stable at higher temperatures, particularly the light REE, due to the decreased solubility of REE sulfate solids. At higher pressure, these REE sulfate complexes display an increased stability field up to 400 ℃. The REE bisulfate complex (REEHSO 4 2+ ) was identified with a wide stability field below 400 ºC for the HREE in acidic Yb 2 (SO 4 ) 3 -bearing solutions, whereas in Nd 2 (SO 4 ) 3 -bearing solutions, the LREE bisulfate complex is restricted to below 100 ℃. These results suggest that bisulfate is a previously unrecognized selective ligand for heavy REE transport at low temperature in acidic oxidized hydrothermal fluids. Such fluids are responsible for hydrothermal alteration in many REE deposits. Prediction of phase stabilities across pressure, temperature, and composition space (P-T- x ) is crucial for predicting the role of aqueous REE sulfate complexes in the mobilization of REE in crustal fluids.

Homoleptic 1,2-benzenedithiolate complexes of thorium and uranium

Reaction of 4 equiv. of [Li(TMEDA)] 2 [1,2-S 2 C 6 H 4 ] with [ThCl 4 (DME) 2 ] or [UCl 4 (THF) 3 ] in THF results in formation of [Li(THF) 2 ] 4 [An(1,2-S 2 C 6 H 4 ) 4 ] (An = Th, 1; An = U, 2), whereas reaction of 4 equiv. of [Li(TMEDA)] 2 [1,2-S 2 C 6 H 4 ] with UCl 4 in Et 2 O results in formation of [Li(TMEDA)] 4 [U(1,2-S 2 C 6 H 4 ) 4 ] (3). Complexes 1–3 represent the first reported benzenedithiolate complexes of the actinides. Here, they were characterized by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. In the solid state, complexes 1–3 exhibit triangular dodecahedral geometries about their actinide centers. Additionally, their Li + cations are bound by two sulfur atoms of adjacent [1,2-S 2 C 6 H 4 ] 2− ligands, in addition to two solvent donor atoms. In solution, complexes 2 and 3 exhibit spectral data consistent with S 4 symmetry (and non-exchanging Li + sites), whereas complex 1 exhibits spectral properties consistent with labile Li + cations.

Structure of the antenna complex expressed during far-red light photoacclimation in Synechococcus sp. PCC 7335

Far-red light photoacclimation, or FaRLiP, is a facultative response exhibited by some cyanobacteria that allows them to absorb and utilize lower energy light (700–800 nm) than the wavelengths typically used for oxygenic photosynthesis (400–700 nm). During this process, three essential components of the photosynthetic apparatus are altered: photosystem I, photosystem II, and the phycobilisome. In all three cases, at least some of the chromophores found in these pigment–protein complexes are replaced by chromophores that have red-shifted absorbance relative to the analogous complexes produced in visible light. Recent structural and spectroscopic studies have elucidated important features of the two photosystems when altered to absorb and utilize far-red light, but much less is understood about the modified phycobiliproteins made during FaRLiP. We used single-particle, cryo-EM to determine the molecular structure of a phycobiliprotein core complex comprising allophycocyanin variants that absorb far-red light during FaRLiP in the marine cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. PCC 7335. The structure reveals the arrangement of the numerous red-shifted allophycocyanin variants and the probable locations of the chromophores that serve as the terminal emitters in this complex. It also suggests how energy is transferred to the photosystem II complexes produced during FaRLiP. The structure additionally allows comparisons with other previously studied allophycocyanins to gain insights into how phycocyanobilin chromophores can be tuned to absorb far-red light. These studies provide new insights into how far-red light is harvested and utilized during FaRLiP, a widespread cyanobacterial photoacclimation mechanism.

Complex-plane generalization of scalar Levin transforms: A robust, rapidly convergent method to compute potentials and fields in multi-layered media

We propose the complex-plane generalization of a powerful algebraic sequence acceleration algorithm, the method of weighted averages (MWA), to guarantee exponential-cum-algebraic convergence of Fourier and Fourier–Hankel (F–H) integral transforms. This “complex-plane” MWA, effected via a linear-path detour in the complex plane, results in rapid, absolute convergence of field and potential solutions in multi-layered environments regardless of the source-observer geometry and anisotropy/loss of the media present. In this work, we first introduce a new integration path used to evaluate the field contribution arising from the radiation spectra. Subsequently, we (1) exhibit the foundational relations behind the complex-plane extension to a general Levin-type sequence convergence accelerator, (2) specialize this analysis to one member of the Levin transform family (the MWA), (3) address and circumvent restrictions, arising for two-dimensional integrals associated with wave dynamics problems, through minimal complex-plane detour restrictions and a novel partition of the integration domain, (4) develop and compare two formulations based on standard/real-axis MWA variants, and (5) present validation results and convergence characteristics for one of these two formulations.

AlphaFold and Structural Mass Spectrometry Enable Interrogations on the Intrinsically Disordered Regions in Cyanobacterial Light-harvesting Complex Phycobilisome

Intrinsically disordered proteins/regions (IDPRs) are a very large and functionally important class of proteins that participate in weak multivalent interactions in protein complexes. They are recalcitrant for interrogations using X-ray crystallography and cryo-EM. The IDPRs observed at the interface of the photosynthetic pigment protein complexes (PPCs) remain much less clear, e.g., the major cyanobacterial light-harvesting complex (PBS) contains an unstructured PB-loop insertion in the phycocyanobilin domain (PB domain) of ApcE (the largest polypeptide in PBS). Here, a joint platform is built to probe such structural domains. This platform is characterized by two-round progressive justifications of in silico models by using the structural mass spectrometry data. First, the AlphaFold-generated 3D structure of the PB domain (containing PB-loop) was justified in the context of PBS. Second, docking the AlphaFold-generated ApcG (a ligand) into the first-step justified structure (a receptor). The final ligand-receptor complex was then subjected to a second-round justification, again, by using unequivocal isotopically-encoded cross-links identified in LC-MS/MS. This work reveals a full-length PB-loop structure modelled in the PBS basal cylinder, free from any spatial conflicts against the other subunits in PBS. The structure of PB domain highlights the close associations of the intrinsically disordered PB-loop with its binding partners in PBS, including ApcG, another IDPR. The PB-loop region involved in the binding of photosystem II (PSII) is also discussed in the context of excitation energy transfer regulation. Finally, this work calls attention to the highly disordered, yet interrogatable interface between the light-harvesting antenna complexes and the reaction centers.
