3D Printed Bioplastics with Shape-Memory Behavior Based on Native Bovine Serum Albumin
Sánchez Rexach, Eva Gloria; Smith, Patrick T. ; Gómez López, Álvaro ; Fernandez, Maxence ; López Cortajarena, Aitziber ; Sardon Muguruza, Haritz; Nelson, Alshakim (ACS, 2022-04-19)Bio-based plastics that can supplant petroleum-derived materials are necessary to meet the future demands of sustainability in the life cycle of plastic materials. While there are significant efforts to develop protein-based ... -
An Emerging Nanozyme Class for à la carte Enzymatic-Like Activities based on Protein-Metal Nanocluster Hybrids
López Domene, Rocío; Vázquez Díaz, Silvia; Modin, Evgenii; Beloqui Elizazu, Ana; López Cortajarena, Aitziber (Wiley, 2023-09)In this study, the goal is to fabricate robust and highly efficient peroxidase-like nanozymes that can ultimately be assembled into films for their easy reuse in catalytic cycles. Nanozymes are designed by mimicking the ... -
Enhancing the Photocatalytic Conversion of Pt(IV) Substrates by Flavoprotein Engineering
Gurruchaga Pereda, Juan; Martínez Martínez, Virginia ; Formoso Estensoro, Elena; Azpitarte Aguirre, Oxana; Rezabal Astigarraga, Elixabete; Lopez, Xabier; López Cortajarena, Aitziber ; Salassa, Luca (ACS, 2021-05-07)Our recent work demonstrates that certain flavoproteins can catalyze the redox activation of Pt(IV) prodrug complexes under light irradiation. Herein, we used site-directed mutagenesis on the mini singlet oxygen generator ... -
High-throughput virtual search of small molecules for controlling the mechanical stability of human CD4
Reifs, Antonio; Fernández Calvo, Alba; Alonso Lerma, Borja; Schönfelder, Jörg; Franco, David; Ortega Muñoz, Mariano; Casares, Salvador; Jiménez López, Concepción; Saa, Laura; López Cortajarena, Aitziber ; De Sancho Sánchez, David; San Sebastián Larzabal, Eider ; Pérez Jiménez, Raul (Elsevier, 2024-04)Protein mechanical stability determines the function of a myriad of proteins, especially proteins from the extracellular matrix. Failure to maintain protein mechanical stability may result in diseases and disorders such ... -
In vitro Production of Hemin-Based Artificial Metalloenzymes
López Domene, Rocío; Manteca González, Aitor; Rodríguez Abetxuko, Andoni; Beloqui Elizazu, Ana; López Cortajarena, Aitziber (Wiley, 2024-02)Developing enzyme alternatives is pivotal to improving and enabling new processes in biotechnology and industry. Artificial metalloenzymes (ArMs) are combinations of protein scaffolds with metal elements, such as metal ... -
Nanozymes with versatile redox capabilities inspired in metalloenzymes
López Domene, Rocío; Kumar, Krishan; Barcelón, José Eduardo; Guedes, Gabriela; Beloqui Elizazu, Ana; López Cortajarena, Aitziber (RSC, 2023)Metalloenzymes represent exemplary systems in which an organic scaffold combines with a functional inorganic entity, resulting in excellent redox catalysts. Inspired by these natural hybrid biomolecules, biomolecular ... -
Toward Supramolecular Nanozymes for the Photocatalytic Activation of Pt(IV) Anticancer Prodrugs
Mazzei, Laura Filomena; Martínez, Álvaro; Trevisan, Lucia; Rosa Gastaldo, Daniele; López Cortajarena, Aitziber ; Mancin, Fabrizio; Salassa, Luca (Royal Society Of Chemistry, 2020-09-16)A supramolecular nanozyme for the photocatalytic conversion of a Pt(IV) anticancer complex to cisplatin is described herein. We employed 1.9 nm Au nanoparticles decorated with thiol ligands bearing a TACN (1,4,7-triazacyclononane) ...
