Stable 2-D metal-organic framework nanosheets were utilized as a superior clean-background matrix for MALDI-TOF MS analysis of small biomolecules and pollutants in both positive and negative ion modes. The matrix could unusually afford up to 1000 mM of the salt concentrations in the monitoring of the enzymatic hydrolysis of neurotransmitter acetylcholine.

Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) are key cholinesterase enzymes responsible for the hydrolysis of acetylcholine into choline and acetic acid, an essential process for the restoration of the cholinergic neuron. The loss of cholinergic function in the central nervous system contributes to the cognitive decline associated with advanced age and Alzheimer's disease (AD). Inhibitions assays represent a significant role in the drug discovery process. Herein, we describe an improved label free method to screen and characterize new BChE ligands. The liquid chromatography system uses an immobilized capillary enzyme reactor (ICER) as a low affinity and high selectivity column coupled to a mass spectrometer (MS). The enzyme activity was evaluated by monitoring the choline's precursor ion [M + H]+ m/z 104 for a brief period. The method was validated using two known cholinesterase inhibitors tacrine and galanthamine. The IC50 values were 0.03 ± 0.006 μM and 0.88 ± 0.2 for tacrine and galanthamine respectively, and Ki was 0.11 ± 0.2 for galanthamine. The efficient combination of the huBChE-ICER with sensitive enzymatic assay detection such as MS, improved the reliable, fast identification of new ligands. Moreover, specific direct quantitation of the product contributes to the reduction of false positive and negative results.
Proximate Charge Effects. 2. Enthalpies of Solvent Transfer in the Choline-Anhydrocholine Equilibrium
Haberfield, Paul,Pessin, Jeffrey

Equilibrium constants for the choline-anhydrocholine equilibrium, eq 1, +(CH3)3NCH2CH2OH + OH- --> +(CH3)3NCH2CH2O- + H2O, were measured conductometrically in water, aqueous alcohol, and aqueous dimethyl sulfoxide at several temperatures.On going to progressively less H-bonding media, there was a large shift of the equilibrium constant toward anhydrocholine (to the right) accompanied by an even larger exothermic shift of the enthalpy of reaction.Calorimetric measurement of the enthalpies of solvent transfer revealed that, in the case of the aqueous alcohol solvents, the exothermic shift was caused by enhanced solvation of anhydrocholine, +(CH3)3NCH2CH2O-, by the less polar media.In the comparison of aqueous ethanol with aqueous Me2SO, the dominant factor was found to be the very great desolvation of both hydroxide ion and anhydrocholine in the less H-bonding medium.

Brain damage is associated with spatial imbalance of cholinergic system, which makes severe impact in recovery of damaged neurons of brain. Therefore, maintenance of cholinergic system is extremely important. Here, we fabricated an injectable hydrogel with acetylcholine-functionalized graphene oxide and poly(acrylic acid). Results revealed that this hydrogel is non-cytotoxic, promotes neurite outgrowth, stabilizes microtubule networks, and enhances the expression of some key neural markers in rat cortical primary neurons. Further, this hydrogel exhibits significant potential in neuro-regeneration and also promotes fast recovery of the sham injured mice brain. Moreover, we found significant enhancement of reactive astrocytes in the hippocampal dentate gyrus region of the sham injured brain, indicating its excellent potential in neural repair of the damaged brain. Finally, above results clearly indicate that this neuro-regenerative hydrogel is highly capable of maintaining the cholinergic balance through local release of acetylcholine in the injured brain, which is crucial for brain repair.
Monitoring Enzymatic Reactions in Real Time Using Venturi Easy Ambient Sonic-Spray Ionization Mass Spectrometry

We developed a technique to monitor spatially confined surface reactions with mass spectrometry under ambient conditions, without the need for voltage or organic solvents. Fused-silica capillaries immersed in an aqueous solution, positioned in close proximity to each other and the functionalized surface, created a laminar flow junction with a resulting reaction volume of 5 pL. The setup was operated with a syringe pump, delivering reagents to the surface through a fused-silica capillary. The other fused-silica capillary was connected to a Venturi easy ambient sonic-spray ionization source, sampling the resulting analytes at a slightly higher flow rate compared to the feeding capillary. The combined effects of the inflow and outflow maintains a chemical microenvironment, where the rate of advective transport overcomes diffusion. We show proof-of-concept where acetylcholinesterase was immobilized on an organosiloxane polymer through electrostatic interactions. The hydrolysis of acetylcholine by acetylcholinesterase into choline was monitored in real-time for a range of acetylcholine concentrations, fused-silica capillary geometries, and operating flow rates. Higher reaction rates and conversion yields were observed with increasing acetylcholine concentrations, as would be expected.

Despite the prevalence of ortho- and pyrophosphate in biochemistry, operationally simple and versatile high-throughput methodologies for their quantification are lacking. We herein introduce PUB, a module for phosphate detection by continuous UV-spectroscopic monitoring of 5-bromouridine phosphorolysis. The PUB module uses cheaply available, bench-stable reagents and can be employed for continuous and discontinuous reaction monitoring in biochemical assays to detect (pyro-)phosphate concentrations spanning almost 4 orders of magnitude, as demonstrated with representative use cases.

We report herein the design of a novel biosensor sensing strategy for sensitive detection of acetylcholine based on PAMAM-Sal dendrimer. PAMAM-Sal, salicylaldehyde and PAMAM dendrimer have been synthesized by means of condensation. It has been determined that PAMAM-Sal dendrimer was formed by the formation of Schiff base with FT-IR, 1H NMR and UV spectra. In addition, the structure has been supported by elemental analysis. Later, a bienzymatic biosensor system has been developed. The bienzymatic biosensor system with acetylcholine esterase (AChE) and choline oxidase (ChO) was prepared with carbon paste electrode modified with PAMAM-Sal for determination of the amount of acetylcholine. Acetylcholine esterase and choline oxidase enzymes were immobilized onto modified carbon paste electrode by cross-linking with glutaraldehyde. Determination of acetylcholine was carried out by the oxidation of enzymatically produced H2O2 at +0.4 V vs. Ag/AgCl. The linear working range for acetylcholine determination of biosensor was identified. The effects of pH and temperature on the response of the biosensor were examined. Reusability and storage stability of the biosensor were determined. Interference effects of interferants which might be in biologic media on the response of the biosensor were also studied.

Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) is powerful for determining enzymatic reaction kinetics because of its soft ionization nature. However, it is limited to use ESI-favored solvents containing volatile buffers (e.g., ammonium acetate). In addition, lack of a quenching step for online ESI-MS reaction monitoring might introduce inaccuracy, due to the possible acceleration of reaction in the sprayed microdroplets. To overcome these issues, this study presents a new approach for online measuring enzymatic reaction kinetics using desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (DESI-MS). By using DESI-MS, enzymatic reaction products in a buffered aqueous media (e.g., a solution containing Tris buffer or high concentration of inorganic salts) could be directly detected. Furthermore, by adjusting the pH and solvent composition of the DESI spray, reaction can be online quenched to avoid the postionization reaction event, leading to fast and accurate measurement of kinetic constants. Reaction time control can be obtained simply by adjusting the injection flow rates of enzyme and substrate solutions. Enzymatic reactions examined in this study include hydrolysis of 2-nitrophenyl-β-D-galactopyranoside by β-galactosidase and hydrolysis of acetylcholine by acetylcholinesterase. Derived Michaelis-Menten constants Km for these two reactions were determined to be 214 μM and 172 μM, respectively, which are in good agreement with the values of 300 μM and 230 μM reported in literature, validating the DESI-MS approach. Furthermore, this time-resolved DESI-MS also allowed us to determine Km and turnover number kcat for trypsin digestion of angiotensin II (Km and kcat are determined to be 6.4 mM and 1.3 s-1, respectively).

Essential amino acids in catalytic sites of native enzymes are important in nature inspired catalyst designs. Active sites of enzymes contain the coordinated assembly of multiple amino acids, and catalytic action is generated by the dynamic interactions among multiple residues. However, catalysis studies are limited by the complex and dynamic structure of the enzyme; and it is difficult to exclusively attribute a given function to a specific residue. Minimalistic approaches involving artificial catalytic sites are promising for the investigation of the enzyme function in the absence of non-essential protein components, and self-assembling peptide nanostructures are especially advantageous in this context. Here we demonstrate the design and characterization of an enzyme-mimetic catalytic nanosystem presenting essential residues (Ser, His, Asp). The function of each residue and its combinations on the nanostructures in hydrolysis reaction was studied. The catalytic self-assembled nanostructures were used for efficient ester hydrolysis such as a model substrate (pNPA) and a natural substrate (acetylcholine) highlighting the key role of self-assembly in catalytic domain formation to test the efficiency of the de novo designed catalyst as a catalytic triad model.
