A Personal Perspective on Metalloprotein Structure and the Future of Macromolecular X‐Ray Crystallography

open access: yesJournal of the Chinese Chemical Society, EarlyView.
While X‐ray crystallography has been the primary method for determining the structures of metalloproteins, cryoEM has taken over this role, illustrated by [4Fe4S]‐cluster containing proteins deposited in the Protein Data Bank. What will be the role for X‐ray crystallography as cryoEM and machine learning methods dominate the initial structural analysis?

Precision Medicine in Neurodegeneration with Brain Iron Accumulation (NBIA) Disorders: An Update on Emerging Treatments

open access: yesMovement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Neurodegeneration with Brain Iron Accumulation (NBIA) is a heterogeneous group of heritable, mostly recessive, progressive neurodegenerative diseases characterized by iron deposition in the basal ganglia and brainstem. There are no solid global epidemiological data on prevalence and incidence of NBIA subtypes, but registry data and ...

Macroscopic Convective Fluid Flows Arising From Binding of Ions and Small Molecules to Proteins

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
The interaction of ions or small molecules with proteins causes convective flows due to the displacement of water from the hydration shell. As shown, the replacement of the nickel ion removed from urease by EDTA pre‐treatment results in binding‐induced convective fluid flow.

Carbon Dot-Mediated Capillary Electrophoresis Separations of Metallated and Demetallated Forms of Transferrin Protein

open access: yesMolecules, 2019
Carbon dots (CDs) are fluorescent nanomaterials used extensively in bioimaging, biosensing and biomedicine. This is due in large part to their biocompatibility, photostability, lower toxicity, and lower cost, compared to inorganic quantum dots or organic

Organic and Inorganic Pollutants, Oxidative Stress Biomarkers, and Electrophoretic Protein Profiles in an Endangered Thresher Shark (Alopias vulpinus) From Southeastern Brazil: A Case Study

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A comprehensive screening of different environmental contaminants (total metals, thermostable metal fractions associated with detoxification, and persistent organic pollutants) was conducted in an endangered common thresher shark (Alopias vulpinus ) individual incidentally captured in southeastern Brazil.

Sulfasalazine Enhances Copper Toxicity in Danio rerio Larvae: Divergent Protective Roles of Deferoxamine and Ferrostatin‐1

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Copper is an environmental contaminant capable of disrupting redox homeostasis and impairing antioxidant defenses in aquatic organisms, thereby increasing susceptibility to oxidative stress. The cystine/glutamate antiporter (system xc−) plays a central role in maintaining intracellular glutathione (GSH) levels, a major antioxidant defense ...
