Unraveling the Nano-Bio Interface Interactions of a Lipase Adsorbed on Gold Nanoparticles under Laser Excitation.
Langmuir : the ACS Journal of Surfaces and Colloids 2024 March 8
The complex nature and structure of biomolecules and nanoparticles and their interactions make it challenging to achieve a deeper understanding of the dynamics at the nano-bio interface of enzymes and plasmonic nanoparticles subjected to light excitation. In this study, circular dichroism (CD) and Raman spectroscopic experiments and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were used to investigate the potential changes at the nano-bio interface upon plasmonic excitation. Our data showed that photothermal and thermal heating induced distinct changes in the secondary structure of a model nanobioconjugate composed of lipase from Candida antarctica fraction B (CALB) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The use of a green laser led to a substantial decrease in the α-helix content of the lipase from 66% to 13% and an increase in the β-sheet content from 5% to 31% compared to the initial conformation of the nanobioconjugate. In contrast, the differences under similar thermal heating conditions were only 55% and 11%, respectively. This study revealed important differences related to the enzyme secondary structure, enzyme-nanoparticle interactions, and the stability of the enzyme catalytic triad (Ser105-Asp187-His224), influenced by the instantaneous local temperature increase generated from photothermal heating compared to the slower rate of thermal heating of the bulk. These results provide valuable insights into the interactions between biomolecules and plasmonic nanoparticles induced by photothermal heating, advancing plasmonic biocatalysis and related fields.
