AbstractWith due attention to adsorption of proteins on the nanoparticles surface and the formation of nanoparticle-protein corona, investigation of nanoparticles toxicity on the structure of proteins is important. Therefore, this work was done to evaluate toxicity of Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) on the structure of human serum albumin (HSA) through in vitro and in silico studies. First, ZnO NPs were synthesized using hydrothermal method and their size and morphology were determined by SEM and TEM methods and then to study its toxicity on the HSA structure were used UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy. Also, in order to investigate interaction mechanism of ZnO NP with HSA at the atomistic level was used molecular dynamics (md) simulation. The obtained images from SEM and TEM showed that ZnO NPs were nanosheet with size of less than 40 nm. The results of spectroscopic studies showed ZnO NPs lead to significant conformational changes in the protein’s absorption and emission spectra. Moreover, md results showed the minor structure changes in HSA due to interaction with ZnO NP during the 100 ns simulation and the formation of nanoparticle-protein corona complex that is mainly because of electrostatic interactions between charge groups of HSA and ZnO NP.

AbstractMalathion, diethyl 2-[(dimethoxyphosphinothioyl)thio]butanedioate, is one of most widely used organophosphoryl pesticide, and it has been detected in several clinical cases of accidental exposure and suicide. It is reported that the observed malathion concentration in blood of persons who suffer from malathion poisoning is smaller than the expected concentration. Because malathion is bound to human serum albumin (HSA), recovery of malathion in the free form is insufficient. We detected malathion adducts in HSA by liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC-Q/TOF–MS). The mass spectra showed that malathion was preferably bound to the lysine (K) and cysteinylproline (CP) residues of HSA. The K- and CP-adducts of malathion were increased in vitro with a dose-dependent fashion when its concentration was smaller than the lethal dose. Further, the K-adduct was also detected in post-mortem blood of an autopsied subject suffering from intentional malathion ingestion. These results suggest that the K-adduct seems to be available to use a biomarker of malathion poisoning, and the determination of the K-adduct could make possible to estimate the amount of malathion ingestion.
