Ag(I) and Cu(I) are both closed-shell d10 monovalent ions, and to some extent share ligand and coordination geometry preferences. Therefore, Ag(I) may be applied to explore Cu(I) binding sites in biomolecules. Here, we review applications of 111Ag perturbed angular correlation (PAC) of γ-ray spectroscopy aimed to elucidate the chemistry of Cu(I) in biological systems. Examples span from small blue copper proteins such as plastocyanin and azurin (electron transport) over hemocyanin (oxygen transport) to CueR and BxmR (metal-ion-sensing proteins). Finally, possible future applications are discussed. 111Ag is a radionuclide which undergoes β-decay to 111Cd, and it is a γ-γ cascade of the 111Cd daughter nucleus, which is used in PAC measurements. 111Ag PAC spectroscopy may provide information on the coordination environment of Ag(I) and on the structural relaxation occurring upon the essentially instantaneous change from Ag(I) to Cd(II).}, year = {2023}, eissn = {2304-6740}, orcid-numbers = {Karner, Victoria/0000-0002-2915-2652; Jancsó, Attila/0000-0003-2362-0758; Hemmingsen, Lars/0000-0002-1823-3035} } @article{MTMT:34393301, title = {Revisiting the hydrolysis of ampicillin catalyzed by Temoneira-1 β-lactamase, and the effect of Ni(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II)}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34393301}, author = {Nafaee, Zeyad Hasan Abdullah and Egyed, Viktória and Jancsó, Attila and Tóth, Annamária and Gerami, Adeleh Mokhles and Dang, Thanh Thien and Heiniger-Schell, Juliana and Hemmingsen, Lars and Hunyadi-Gulyás Éva, Csilla and Peintler, Gábor and Gyurcsik, Béla}, doi = {10.1002/pro.4809}, journal-iso = {PROTEIN SCI}, journal = {PROTEIN SCIENCE}, volume = {32}, unique-id = {34393301}, issn = {0961-8368}, abstract = {Abstract ?-Lactamases grant resistance to bacteria against ?-lactam antibiotics. The active center of TEM-1 ?-lactamase accommodates a Ser-Xaa-Xaa-Lys motif. TEM-1 ?-lactamase is not a metalloenzyme but it possesses several putative metal ion binding sites. The sites composed of His residue pairs chelate borderline transition metal ions such as Ni(II). In addition, there are many sulfur-containing donor groups that can coordinate soft metal ions such as Hg(II). Cd(II) may bind to both types of the above listed donor groups. No significant change was observed in the circular dichroism spectra of TEM-1 ?-lactamase on increasing the metal ion content of the samples, with the exception of Hg(II) inducing a small change in the secondary structure of the protein. A weak nonspecific binding of Hg(II) was proven by mass spectrometry and 119mHg perturbed angular correlation spectroscopy. The hydrolytic process of ampicillin catalyzed by TEM-1 ?-lactamase was described by the kinetic analysis of the set of full catalytic progress curves, where the slow, yet observable conversion of the primary reaction product into a second one, identified as ampilloic acid by mass spectrometry, needed also to be considered in the applied model. Ni(II) and Cd(II) slightly promoted the catalytic activity of the enzyme while Hg(II) exerted a noticeable inhibitory effect. Hg(II) and Ni(II), applied at 10??M concentration, inhibited the growth of E. coli BL21(DE3) in M9 minimal medium in the absence of ampicillin, but addition of the antibiotic could neutralize this toxic effect by complexing the metal ions.}, keywords = {Mass spectrometry; Circular Dichroism; Reaction kinetics; 199mHg perturbed angular correlation spectroscopy of γ-rays; TEM-1 β-lactamase; toxic metal binding}, year = {2023}, eissn = {1469-896X}, orcid-numbers = {Jancsó, Attila/0000-0003-2362-0758; Peintler, Gábor/0000-0001-5171-5346; Gyurcsik, Béla/0000-0003-1894-7414} } @article{MTMT:33767799, title = {Tristhiolato Pseudopeptides Bind Arsenic(III) in an AsS 3 Coordination Environment Imitating Metalloid Binding Sites in Proteins}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/33767799}, author = {Szekeres, Levente István and Maldivi, Pascale and Lebrun, Colette and Gateau, Christelle and Mesterházy, Edit and Delangle, Pascale and Jancsó, Attila}, doi = {10.1021/acs.inorgchem.3c00563}, journal-iso = {INORG CHEM}, journal = {INORGANIC CHEMISTRY}, volume = {62}, unique-id = {33767799}, issn = {0020-1669}, abstract = {The AsIII binding of two NTA-based tripodal pseudopeptides, possessing three cysteine (ligand L1) or D- penicillamine residues (ligand L2) as potential coordinating groups for soft semimetals or metal ions, was studied by experimental (UV, CD, NMR, and ESI-MS) and theoretical (DFT) methods.

In this work we present a comprehensive experimental and theoretical study of novel alterations in the structure of BAPTA, with a focus on the systematic modification of the chain connecting the two aromatic rings of the molecule (denoted as ?linker?). A bis-(diethylamino)xantene fluorophore was also attached to the structures in a fixed position and the structure-fluorescence response relationship of these molecules was investigated in addition. The effect of the length of the linker, the number of O atoms in this chain and even the removal of one of the rings was tested; these all proved to significantly alter the characteristics of the compounds. For example, it was found that the second aromatic ring of BAPTA is not essential for the turn-on of the fluorescence. We also demonstrated that successful sensing can be realized even by replacing the chain with a single oxygen atom, which suggests the availability of a new calcium binding mode of the chelator. The reliable turn-on characteristic, the steep Ca 2+ fluorescence titration curve and the intense fluorescence emission combine to make this compound a prospective candidate as a calcium sensing molecular probe in diagnostic neurobiological applications.}, keywords = {Calcium ChelatesDensity functional calculationsDyesFluorescent probes}, year = {2021}, eissn = {1099-0690}, pages = {5248-5261}, orcid-numbers = {Kontra, Bence/0000-0001-8293-3637; Jancsó, Attila/0000-0003-2362-0758; Galbács, Gábor/0000-0002-1799-5329; Deme, Ruth/0000-0002-0798-6912; Kele, Zoltán/0000-0002-4401-0302; Kovács, Ervin/0000-0002-3939-6925; Mucsi, Zoltán/0000-0003-3224-8847} } @article{MTMT:32000256, title = {Binding Models of Copper(II) Thiosemicarbazone Complexes with Human Serum Albumin: A Speciation Study}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/32000256}, author = {May, Nóra Veronika and Jancsó, Attila and Enyedy, Éva Anna}, doi = {10.3390/molecules26092711}, journal-iso = {MOLECULES}, journal = {MOLECULES}, volume = {26}, unique-id = {32000256}, issn = {1420-3049}, year = {2021}, eissn = {1420-3049}, orcid-numbers = {May, Nóra Veronika/0000-0003-4770-4681; Jancsó, Attila/0000-0003-2362-0758; Enyedy, Éva Anna/0000-0002-8058-8128} }
