Multifrequency, multitechnique pulse EPR spectroscopy was employed to unravel the spin Hamiltonian parameters of 17O in the [FeV=O] moiety with two different tetraamido macrocyclic ligands (TAMLs), [FeV(O)(TAML-1)]– (1, H4(TAML-1) =...

AbstractOwing to their importance, diversity and abundance of generated paramagnetic species, radical S-adenosylmethionine (rSAM) enzymes have become popular targets for electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopic studies. In contrast to prototypic single-domain and thus single-[4Fe–4S]-containing rSAM enzymes, there is a large subfamily of rSAM enzymes with multiple domains and one or two additional iron–sulfur cluster(s) called the SPASM/twitch domain-containing rSAM enzymes. EPR spectroscopy is a powerful tool that allows for the observation of the iron–sulfur clusters as well as potentially trappable paramagnetic reaction intermediates. Here, we review continuous-wave and pulse EPR spectroscopic studies of SPASM/twitch domain-containing rSAM enzymes. Among these enzymes, we will review in greater depth four well-studied enzymes, BtrN, MoaA, PqqE, and SuiB. Towards establishing a functional consensus of the additional architecture in these enzymes, we describe the commonalities between these enzymes as observed by EPR spectroscopy.

In order to explore the effect of nanofiller on the regulation of the drug release behavior from microsphere-embedded hydrogel prepared by carboxymethyl-hexanoyl chitosan (HNOCC) and O-hexanoyl chitosan (OHC), the release kinetics was investigated in terms of various amounts of calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite (CDHA) nanoparticles incorporated. HNOCC is a novel chitosan-based hydrophilic matrix with a burst release profile in a highly swollen state. The drug release kinetics of the HNOCC hydrogel can be regulated by incorporation of well-dispersed CDHA nanoparticles. It was found that the release duration of ibuprofen (IBU) from HNOCC was prolonged with increasing amounts of CDHA which acts as a crosslink agent and diffusion barrier. On the contrary, the release duration of the IBU from OHC (hydrophobic phase) was shortened through increasing the CDHA amount over 5%, which is due to the hydrophilic nature of the CDHA nanoparticles destroying the intermolecular hydrophobic interaction and accelerating OHC degradation. Thus, water accessibility and molecular relaxation were enhanced, resulting in a higher release rate. In addition, sustained and sequential release behavior was achieved by embedding the OHC microspheres (hydrophobic phase) into the HNOCC (hydrophilic phase) matrix, which could significantly prolong the release duration of the HNOCC drug-loaded implant.
