Abstract
Magnetomechanical modulation of biochemical processes is a promising instrument for bioengineering and nanomedicine. This work demonstrates two approaches to control activity of an enzyme, α-chymotrypsin immobilized on the surface of gold-coated magnetite magnetic nanoparticles (GM-MNPs) using a nonheating low-frequency magnetic field (LF MF). The measurement of the enzyme reaction rate was carried out in situ during exposure to the magnetic field. The first approach involves α-chymotrypsin-GM-MNPs conjugates, in which the enzyme undergoes mechanical deformations with the reorientation of the MNPs under LF MF (16-410 Hz frequency, 88 mT flux density). Such mechanical deformations result in conformational changes in α-chymotrypsin structure, as confirmed by infrared spectroscopy and molecular modeling, and lead to a 63% decrease of enzyme initial activity. The second approach involves an α-chymotrypsin-GM-MNPs/trypsin inhibitor-GM-MNPs complex, in which the activity of the enzyme is partially inhibited. In this case the reorientation of MNPs in the field leads to disruption of the enzyme-inhibitor complex and an almost 2-fold increase of enzyme activity. The results further demonstrate the utility of magnetomechanical actuation at the nanoscale for the remote modulation of biochemical reactions.
