The synthesis of ZnO:Eu3+ nanoflowers by a low-temperature hydrothermal route is described. Characterization of the materials was performed by ESEM, XRD and FTIR spectra. The 355 nm excited photoluminescence spectra at 10 K do not indicate the presence of Eu2+ or the ZnO defect states which give rise to green or red broadband emission. Excitation into the ZnO conduction band at low temperature does not give emission from Eu3+. Selective excitation of the Eu3+ emission shows that Eu3+ ions occupy a variety of different sites, of which one of them is similar to Eu3+ in C-type Eu2O3.

ABSTRACTThe metallo-β-lactamase VIM-4, mainly found inPseudomonas aeruginosaorAcinetobacter baumannii, was produced inEscherichia coliand characterized by biochemical and X-ray techniques. A detailed kinetic study performed in the presence of Zn2+at concentrations ranging from 0.4 to 100 μM showed that VIM-4 exhibits a kinetic profile similar to the profiles of VIM-2 and VIM-1. However, VIM-4 is more active than VIM-1 against benzylpenicillin, cephalothin, nitrocefin, and imipenem and is less active than VIM-2 against ampicillin and meropenem. The crystal structure of the dizinc form of VIM-4 was solved at 1.9 Å. The sole difference between VIM-4 and VIM-1 is found at residue 228, which is Ser in VIM-1 and Arg in VIM-4. This substitution has a major impact on the VIM-4 catalytic efficiency compared to that of VIM-1. In contrast, the differences between VIM-2 and VIM-4 seem to be due to a different position of the flapping loop and two substitutions in loop 2. Study of the thermal stability and the activity of the holo- and apo-VIM-4 enzymes revealed that Zn2+ions have a pronounced stabilizing effect on the enzyme and are necessary for preserving the structure.
