Abstract
As an endogenous signaling molecule, carbon monoxide (CO) has emerged as an increasingly promising option regarding as gas therapy due to its positive pharmacological effects in various diseases. Owing to the gaseous nature and potential toxicity, it is particularly important to modulate the CO release dosages and targeted locations to elucidate the biological mechanisms of CO and facilitate its clinical applications. Based on these, diverse CO-releasing molecules (CORMs) have been developed for controlled release of CO in biological systems. However, practical applications of these CORMs are limited by several disadvantages including low stability, poor solubility, weak releasing controllability, random diffusion, and potential toxicity. In light of rapid developments and diverse advantages of nanomedicine, abundant nanomaterials releasing CO in controlled ways have been developed for therapeutic purposes across various diseases. Due to their nanoscale sizes, diversified compositions and modified surfaces, vast CO-releasing nanomaterials (CORNMs) have been constructed and exhibited controlled CO release in specific locations under various stimuli with better pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. In this review, we present the recent progress in CORNMs according to their compositions. Following a concise introduction to CO therapy, CORMs and CORNMs, the representative research progress of CORNMs constructed from organic nanostructures, hybrid nanomaterials, inorganic nanomaterials, and nanocomposites is elaborated. The basic properties of these CORNMs, such as active components, CO releasing mechanisms, detection methods, and therapeutic applications, are discussed in detail and listed in a table. Finally, we explore and discuss the prospects and challenges associated with utilizing nanomaterials for biological CO release.

Abstract
Modern classes of antimicrobials are crucial because most drugs in development today are basically antibiotic derivatives. Even though a large number of metal-based compounds have been studied as antimicrobial agents, relatively few studies have examined the antimicrobial properties of Pd(II) and Pt(II) compounds. The [3+2] cycloaddition reactions of [M(N3)L]PF6 (M = Pd(II) and Pt(II); L = 4'-(2-pyridyl)-2,2':6',2″-terpyridine) with 4,4,4-trifluoro-2-butynoic acid ethyl ester gave the corresponding triazolate complexes. The reaction products were fully characterized with a variety of analytical and spectroscopic tools including X-ray crystallographic analysis. The crystal structure of [Pd(triazolatoCF3,COOCH2CH3)L]PF6 provided cut-off evidence that the kinetically formed N1-triazolato isomer favoured the isomerization to the thermodynamically stable N2-analogue. The experimental work was complemented with computational work to get an insight into the nature of the predominant triazolate isomer. The lysozyme binding affinity of the triazolate complexes was examined by mass spectrometry. An analysis of the lysozyme Pd(II) adducts suggests a coordinative covalent mode of binding via the loss of the triazolato ligand. The free ligand and its triazolate complexes displayed selective toxicity against Candida albicans and Cryptococcus neoformans, while no cytotoxicity was observed against the normal human embryonic kidney cell line.

Abstract
Nuclear factor kappa beta (NF-κB) plays a pivotal role in breast cancer, particularly triple-negative breast cancer, by promoting inflammation, proliferation, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, metastasis, and drug resistance. Upregulation of NF-κB boosts vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression, assisting angiogenesis. The Ru(II) complexes of methyl- and dimethylpyrazolyl-benzimidazole N,N donors inhibit phosphorylation of ser536 in p65 and translocation of the NF-κB heterodimer (p50/p65) to the nucleus, disabling transcription to upregulate inflammatory signaling. The methyl- and dimethylpyrazolyl-benzimidazole inhibit VEGFR2 phosphorylation at Y1175, disrupting downstream signaling through PLC-γ and ERK1/2, ultimately suppressing Ca(II)-signaling. Partial release of the antiangiogenic ligand in a reactive oxygen species-rich environment is possible as per our observation to inhibit both NF-κB and VEGFR2 by the complexes. The complexes are nontoxic to zebrafish embryos up to 50 μM, but the ligands show strong in vivo antiangiogenic activity at 3 μM during embryonic growth in Tg(fli1:GFP) zebrafish but no visible effect on the adult phase.

Abstract
This study presents a comprehensive structural analysis of the adducts formed upon the reaction of two Ru(III) complexes [HIsq][trans-RuIIICl4(dmso)(Isq)] (1) and [H2Ind][trans-RuIIICl4(dmso)(HInd)] (2) (where HInd-indazole, Isq-isoquinoline, analogs of NAMI-A) and two Ru(II) complexes, cis-[RuCl2(dmso)4] (c) and trans-[RuCl2(dmso)4] (t), with hen-egg white lysozyme (HEWL). Additionally, the crystal structure of an adduct of human lysozyme (HL) with ruthenium complex, [H2Ind][trans-RuCl4(dmso)(HInd)] was solved. X-ray crystallographic data analysis revealed that all studied Ru complexes, regardless of coordination surroundings and metal center charge, coordinate to the same amino acids (His15, Arg14, and Asp101) of HEWL, losing most of their original ligands. In the case of the 2-HL adduct, two distinct metalation sites: (i) Arg107, Arg113 and (ii) Gln127, Gln129, were identified. Crystallographic data were supported by studies of the interaction of 1 and 2 with HEWL in an aqueous solution. Hydrolytic stability studies revealed that both complexes 1 and 2 liberate the N-heterocyclic ligand under crystallization-like conditions (pH 4.5) as well as under physiological pH conditions, and this process is not significantly affected by the presence of HEWL. A comparative examination of nine crystal structures of Ru complexes with lysozyme, obtained through soaking and co-crystallization experiments, together with in-solution studies of the interaction between 1 and 2 with HEWL, indicates that the hydrolytic release of the N-heterocyclic ligand is one of the critical factors in the interaction between Ru complexes and lysozyme. This understanding is crucial in shedding light on the tendency of Ru complexes to target diverse metalation sites during the formation and in the final forms of the adducts with proteins.

Abstract
Modern approaches in metallodrug research focus on compounds that bind protein targets rather than DNA. However, the identification of protein targets and binding sites is challenging. Using intact mass spectrometry and proteomics, we investigated the binding of the antimetastatic agent RAPTA-C to the model proteins ubiquitin, cytochrome c, lysozyme, and myoglobin. Binding to cytochrome c and lysozyme was negligible. However, ubiquitin bound up to three Ru moieties, two of which were localized at Met1 and His68 as [Ru(cym)], and [Ru(cym)] or [Ru(cym)(PTA)] adducts, respectively. Myoglobin bound up to four [Ru(cym)(PTA)] moieties and five sites were identified at His24, His36, His64, His81/82 and His113. Collision-induced unfolding (CIU) studies via ion-mobility mass spectrometry allowed measuring protein folding as a function of collisional activation. CIU of protein-RAPTA-C adducts showed binding of [Ru(cym)] to Met1 caused a significant compaction of ubiquitin, likely from N-terminal S-Ru-N chelation, while binding of [Ru(cym)(PTA)] to His residues of ubiquitin or myoglobin induced a smaller effect. Interestingly, the folded state of ubiquitin formed by His functionalization was more stable than Met1 metalation. The data suggests that selective metalation of amino acids at different positions on the protein impacts the conformation and potentially the biological activity of anticancer compounds.

Abstract
Protein crystals can be utilized as porous scaffolds to capture exogenous molecules. Immobilization of target proteins using protein crystals is expected to facilitate X-ray structure analysis of proteins that are difficult to be crystallized. One of the advantages of scaffold-assisted structure determination is the analysis of metastable structures that are not observed in solution. However, efforts to fix target proteins within the pores of scaffold protein crystals have been limited due to the lack of strategies to control protein-protein interactions formed in the crystals. In this study, we analyze the metastable structure of the miniprotein, CLN025, which forms a β-hairpin structure in solution, using a polyhedra crystal (PhC), an in-cell protein crystal. CLN025 is successfully fixed within the PhC scaffold by replacing the original loop region. X-ray crystal structure analysis and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation reveal that CLN025 is fixed as a helical structure in a metastable state by non-covalent interactions in the scaffold crystal. These results indicate that modulation of intermolecular interactions can trap various protein conformations in the engineered PhC and provides a new strategy for scaffold-assisted structure determination.

Abstract
Carbon monoxide-releasing molecules (CORMs) are promising candidates for producing carbon monoxide in the mammalian body for therapeutic purposes. At higher concentrations, CO has a harmful effect on the mammalian organism. However, lower doses at a controlled rate can provide cellular signaling for mandatory pharmacokinetic and pathological activities. To date, exploring the therapeutic implications of CO dose as a prodrug has attracted much attention due to its therapeutic significance. There are two different methods of CO insertion, i.e., indirect and direct exogenous insertion. Indirect exogenous insertion of CO suggests an advantage of reduced toxicity over direct exogenous insertion. For indirect exogenous insertion, researchers are facing the issue of tissue selectivity. To solve this issue, developers have considered the newly produced CORMs. Herein, metal carbonyl complexes (MCCs) are covalently linked with CO molecules to produce different CORMs such as CORM-1, CORM-2, and CORM-3, etc. All these CORMs required exogenous CO insertion to achieve the therapeutic targets at the optimized rate under peculiar conditions or/and triggering. Meanwhile, the metal residue was generated from i-CORMs, which can propagate toxicity. Herein, we explain CO administration, water-soluble CORMs, tissue accumulation, and cytotoxicity of depleted CORMs and the kinetic profile of CO release.

Novel Pd(ii) and Pt(ii) complexes of the tridentate 2,6-bis(1-ethyl-benzimidazol-2'-yl)pyridine (LBZ), and 4'-(2-pyridyl)-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine (LPY) ligands were synthesized, characterized using a variety of analytical and spectroscopic tools, and screened for their potential antimicrobial properties against some bacterial and fungal strains as well as cytotoxicity against healthy human embryonic kidney (HEK293) cells. The electronic structures of the complexes were investigated by time-dependent density functional theory calculations. The free ligand LPY and benzimidazole complexes exhibited selective toxicity against Cryptococcus neoformans and Candida albicans, while displaying no cytotoxicity against HEK293. In the case of Cryptococcus neoformans, the antifungal activities of the benzimidazole-based complexes (MIC = 1.58-2.62 μM) are higher than those of the reference drug fluconazole (26.1 μM).

Abstract
N-Heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands are widely investigated in medicinal inorganic chemistry. Here, we report the preparation and characterization of a series of half-sandwich [M(L)(NHC)Cl2] (M = Ru, Os, Rh, Ir; L = cym/Cp*) complexes with a N-flanking anthracenyl moiety attached to imidazole- and benzimidazole-derived NHC ligands. The anticancer activity of the complexes was investigated in cell culture studies where, in comparison to a Rh derivative with an all-carbon-donor-atom-based ligand (5a), they were found to be cytotoxic with IC50 values in the low micromolar range. The Ru derivative 1a was chosen as a representative for stability studies as well as for biomolecule interaction experiments. It underwent partial chlorido/aqua ligand exchange in DMSO-d6/D2O to rapidly form an equilibrium in aqueous media. The reactions of 1a with biomolecules proceeded quickly and resulted in the formation of adducts with amino acids, DNA, and protein. Hen egg white lysozyme crystals were soaked with 1a, and the crystallographic analysis revealed an interaction with an l-aspartic acid residue (Asp119), resulting in the cleavage of the p-cymene ligand but the retention of the NHC moiety. Cell morphology studies for the Rh analog 3a suggested that the cytotoxicity is exerted via mechanisms different from that of cisplatin.

Abstract
Introduction of the propyl-sulfonic acid group at N1 of the coordinated 2-(2-pyridyl)benzimidazole ligand (L) in [RhCl(η5-C5Me5)L](CF3SO3) gives rise to a water-soluble complex, which can bind to the model protein lysozyme via non-covalent interactions. The complex shows selective moderate toxicity against Cryptococcus neoformans (MIC = 21.6-43.3 μM) and exhibits no cytotoxicity to healthy HEK293 cells.

The autoimmobilization of enzymes via cross-linked enzyme crystals (CLECs) has regained interest in recent years, boosted by the extensive knowledge gained in protein crystallization, the decrease of cost and laboriousness of the process, and the development of potential applications. In this work, we present the crystallization and preparative-scale production of reinforced cross-linked lipase crystals (RCLLCs) using a commercial detergent additive as a raw material. Bulk crystallization was carried out in 500 mL of agarose media using the batch technique. Agarose facilitates the homogeneous production of crystals, their cross-linking treatment, and their extraction. RCLLCs were active in an aqueous solution and in hexane, as shown by the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenol butyrate and α-methylbenzyl acetate, respectively. RCLLCs presented both high thermal and robust operational stability, allowing the preparation of a packed-bed chromatographic column to work in a continuous flow. Finally, we determined the three-dimensional (3D) models of this commercial lipase crystallized with and without phosphate at 2.0 and 1.7 Å resolutions, respectively.

Abstract
The lysozyme binding affinity and the electronic properties of [ReX(CO)3(terpy-κ2N1,N2)] (X = Br- and triazolateCOOCH2CH3,CF3) were reported. The triazolate complex was prepared in a [3 + 2] cycloaddition click reaction. The bromo compound reacted with lysozyme affording adducts with Re(CO)3+ fragments, while the triazolate compound persisted. A red shift of the MLCT band of the triazolate compound in progressively less polar solvents may be due to the negative solvatochromism.

Abstract
The structures of the adducts formed upon reaction of the cytotoxic paddlewheel dirhodium complex [Rh2(μ-O2CCH3)4] with the model protein hen egg white lysozyme (HEWL) under different experimental conditions are reported. Results indicate that [Rh2(μ-O2CCH3)4] extensively reacts with HEWL:it in part breaks down, at variance with what happens in reactions with other proteins. A Rh center coordinates the side chains of Arg14 and His15. Dimeric Rh–Rh units with Rh–Rh distances between 2.3 and 2.5 Å are bound to the side chains of Asp18, Asp101, Asn93, and Lys96, while a dirhodium unit with a Rh–Rh distance of 3.2–3.4 Å binds the C-terminal carboxylate and the side chain of Lys13 at the interface between two symmetry-related molecules. An additional monometallic fragment binds the side chain of Lys33. These data, which are supported by replicated structural determinations, shed light on the reactivity of dirhodium tetracarboxylates with proteins, providing useful information for the design of new Rh-containing biomaterials with an array of potential applications in the field of catalysis or of medicinal chemistry and valuable insight into the mechanism of action of these potential anticancer agents.

Abstract
While most Rh-N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes currently investigated in anticancer research contain a Rh(III) metal center, an increasing amount of research is focusing on the cytotoxic activity and mode of action of square-planar [RhCl(COD)(NHC)] (where COD = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) which contains a Rh(I) center. The enzyme thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) and the protein albumin have been proposed as potential targets, but the molecular processes taking place upon protein interaction remain elusive. Herein, we report the preparation of peptide-conjugated and its nonconjugated parent [RhCl(COD)(NHC)] complexes, an in-depth investigation of both their stability in solution, and a crystallographic study of protein interaction. The organorhodium compounds showed a rapid loss of the COD ligand and slow loss of the NHC ligand in aqueous solution. These ligand exchange reactions were reflected in studies on the interaction with hen egg white lysozyme (HEWL) as a model protein in single-crystal X-ray crystallographic investigations. Upon treatment of HEWL with an amino acid functionalized [RhCl(COD)(NHC)] complex, two distinct rhodium adducts were found initially after 7 d of incubation at His15 and after 4 weeks also at Lys33. In both cases, the COD and chlorido ligands had been substituted with aqua and/or hydroxido ligands. While the histidine (His) adduct also indicated a loss of the NHC ligand, the lysine (Lys) adduct retained the NHC core derived from the amino acid l-histidine. In either case, an octahedral coordination environment of the metal center indicates oxidation to Rh(III). This investigation gives the first insight on the interaction of Rh(I)(NHC) complexes and proteins at the molecular level.

Abstract
Protein crystals exhibit distinct three-dimensional structures, which contain well-ordered nanoporous solvent channels, providing a chemically heterogeneous environment. In this paper, the incorporation of various molecules into the solvent channels of native hen egg-white lysozyme crystals was demonstrated using fluorescent dyes, including acridine yellow G, rhodamine 6G, and eosin Y. The process was evaluated on the basis of absorption and fluorescence microspectroscopy at a single-crystal level. The molecular loading process was clearly visualized as a function of time, and it was determined that the protein crystals could act as nanoporous materials. It was found that the incorporation process is strongly dependent on the molecular charge, leading to heterogeneous molecular aggregation, which suggests host-guest interaction of protein crystals from the viewpoint of nanoporous materials.

Abstract
As an emerging and promising treatment method, gas therapy has attracted more and more attention for treatment of inflammation-related diseases, especially cancer. However, therapeutic/therapy-assisted gases (NO, CO, H2S, H2, O2, SO2 and CO2) and most of their prodrugs lack the abilities of active intratumoral accumulation and controlled gas release, resulting in limited cancer therapy efficacy and potential side effects. Therefore, development of nanomedicines to realize tumor-targeted and controlled release of therapeutic/therapy-assisted gases is greatly desired, and also the combination of other therapeutic modes with gas therapy by multifunctional nanocarrier platforms can augment cancer therapy efficacy and also reduce their side effects. The design of nanomedicines with these functions is vitally important, but challenging. In this review, we summarize a series of engineering strategies for construction of advanced gas-releasing nanomedicines from four aspects: (1) stimuli-responsive strategies for controlled gas release; (2) catalytic strategies for controlled gas release; (3) tumor-targeted gas delivery strategies; (4) multi-model combination strategies based on gas therapy. Moreover, we highlight current issues and gaps in knowledge, and envisage current trends and future prospects of advanced nanomedicines for gas therapy of cancer. This review aims to inspire and guide the engineering of advanced gas-releasing nanomedicines.

Abstract
Carbon monoxide (CO) therapy has emerged as a hot topic under exploration in the field of gas therapy as it shows the promise of treating various diseases. Due to the gaseous property and the high affinity for human hemoglobin, the main challenges of administrating medicinal CO are the lack of target selectivity as well as the toxic profile at relatively high concentrations. Although abundant CO releasing molecules (CORMs) with the capacity to deliver CO in biological systems have been developed, several disadvantages related to CORMs, including random diffusion, poor solubility, potential toxicity, and lack of on-demand CO release in deep tissue, still confine their practical use. Recently, the advent of versatile nanomedicine has provided a promising chance for improving the properties of naked CORMs and simultaneously realizing the therapeutic applications of CO. This review presents a brief summarization of the emerging delivery strategies of CO based on nanomaterials for therapeutic application. First, an introduction covering the therapeutic roles of CO and several frequently used CORMs is provided. Then, recent advancements in the synthesis and application of versatile CO releasing nanomaterials are elaborated. Finally, the current challenges and future directions of these important delivery strategies are proposed.

Abstract
The pharmaceutical clay montmorillonite (MMT) is, for the first time, explored as a carbon monoxide-releasing material (CORMat). MMT consists of silicate double layered structure; its exfoliation feature intercalate the CORM-2 [RuCl(μ-Cl)(CO)3]2 inside the layers to suppress the toxicity of organometallic segment. The infrared spectroscopy (IR) confirmed the existence of ruthenium coordinated carbonyl ligand in MMT layers. The energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) analysis showed that ruthenium element in this material was about 5%. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) images showed that the layer-structure of MMT has been maintained after loading the ruthenium carbonyl segment. Moreover, the layers have been stretched out, which was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. Thermogravimetric (TG) curves with huge weight loss around 100-200 °C were attributed to the CO hot-release of ruthenium carbonyl as well as the loss of the adsorbed solvent molecules and the water molecules between the layers. The CO-liberating properties have been assessed through myoglobin assay. The horse myoglobin test showed that the material could be hydrolyzed to slowly release carbon monoxide in physiological environments. The half-life of CO release was much longer than that of CORM-3, and it has an excellent environmental tolerance and slow release effect.

Abstract
The CO-releasing materials (CORMats) are used as substances for producing CO molecules for therapeutic purposes. Carbon monoxide (CO) imparts toxic effects to biological organisms at higher concentration. If this characteristic is utilized in a controlled manner, it can act as a cell-signaling agent for important pathological and pharmacokinetic functions; hence offering many new applications and treatments. Recently, research on therapeutic applications using the CO treatment has gained much attention due to its nontoxic nature, and its injection into the human body using several conjugate systems. Mainly, there are two types of CO insertion techniques into the human body, i.e., direct and indirect CO insertion. Indirect CO insertion offers an advantage of avoiding toxicity as compared to direct CO insertion. For the indirect CO inhalation method, developers are facing certain problems, such as its inability to achieve the specific cellular targets and how to control the dosage of CO. To address these issues, researchers have adopted alternative strategies regarded as CO-releasing molecules (CORMs). CO is covalently attached with metal carbonyl complexes (MCCs), which generate various CORMs such as CORM-1, CORM-2, CORM-3, ALF492, CORM-A1 and ALF186. When these molecules are inserted into the human body, CO is released from these compounds at a controlled rate under certain conditions or/and triggers. Such reactions are helpful in achieving cellular level targets with a controlled release of the CO amount. However on the other hand, CORMs also produce a metal residue (termed as i-CORMs) upon degradation that can initiate harmful toxic activity inside the body. To improve the performance of the CO precursor with the restricted development of i-CORMs, several new CORMats have been developed such as micellization, peptide, vitamins, MOFs, polymerization, nanoparticles, protein, metallodendrimer, nanosheet and nanodiamond, etc. In this review article, we shall describe modern ways of CO administration; focusing primarily on exclusive features of CORM's tissue accumulations and their toxicities. This report also elaborates on the kinetic profile of the CO gas. The comprehension of developmental phases of CORMats shall be useful for exploring the ideal CO therapeutic drugs in the future of medical sciences.

Abstract
Protein containers are suitable building blocks for bioinorganic materials. Here, we show that high concentrations of magnesium ions induce the formation of a unitary protein scaffold, whereas low magnesium concentration leads to a binary protein scaffold. The molecular interactions in the protein scaffold were characterized with X-ray crystallography to high resolution. We show that the unitary framework can be applied for the assembly of inorganic nanoparticles such as metal oxides into highly ordered bioinorganic structures. Our work emphasizes the structural tunability of protein-container-based materials, important for adjusting emerging properties of such materials.

Abstract
Aluminum-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), [Al(OH)(SDC)] n, (H2SDC: 4,4'-stilbenedicarboxylic acid), also known as CYCU-3, were prepared by means of the coordination modulation method to produce materials with different crystal size and morphology. In particular, we screened several reagent concentrations (20-60 mM) and modulator/ligand ratios (0-50), leading to 20 CYCU x_ y materials ( x: reagent concentration, y = modulator/ligand ratio) with different particle size and morphology. Noteworthy, the use of high modulator/ligand ratio gives rise to a new phase of CYCU-3 (CYCU-3' x_50 series), which was structurally analyzed. Afterward, to test the potential of these materials as CO-prodrug carriers, we selected three of them to adsorb the photo- and bioactive CO-releasing molecule (CORM) ALF794 [Mo(CNCMe2CO2H)3(CO)3] (CNCMe2CO2H = 2-isocyano-2-methyl propionic acid): (i) CYCU-3 20_0, particles in the nanometric range; (ii) CYCU-3 50_5, bar-type particles with heterogeneous size, and (iii) CYCU-3' 50_50, a new phase analogous to pristine CYCU-3. The corresponding hybrid materials were fully characterized, revealing that CYCU-3 20_0 with the smallest particle size was not stable under the drug loading conditions. Regarding the other two materials, similar ALF794 loadings were found (0.20 and 0.19 CORM/MOF molar ratios for ALF794@CYCU-3 50_5 and ALF794@CYCU-3' 50_50, respectively). In addition, these hybrid systems behave as CO-releasing materials (CORMAs), retaining the photoactive properties of the pristine CORM in both phosphate saline solution and solid state. Finally, the metal leaching studies in solution confirmed that ALF794@CYCU-3' 50_50 shows a good retention capacity toward the potentially toxic molybdenum fragments (75% of retention after 72 h), which is the lowest value reported for a MOF-based CORMA to date.

Abstract
Cyclophanes are macrocyclic supramolecular hosts famous for their ability to bind atomic or molecular guests via noncovalent interactions within their well-defined cavities. In a similar way, porous crystalline networks, such as metal-organic frameworks, can create microenvironments that enable controlled guest binding in the solid state. Both types of materials often consist of synthetic components, and they have been developed within separate research fields. Moreover, the use of biomolecules as their structural units has remained elusive. Here, we have synthesized a library of organic cyclophanes and studied their electrostatic self-assembly with biological metal-binding protein cages (ferritins) into ordered structures. We show that cationic pillar[5]arenes and ferritin cages form biohybrid cocrystals with an open protein network structure. Our cyclophane-protein cage frameworks bridge the gap between molecular frameworks and colloidal nanoparticle crystals and combine the versatility of synthetic supramolecular hosts with the highly selective recognition properties of biomolecules. Such host-guest materials are interesting for porous material applications, including water remediation and heterogeneous catalysis.

Abstract
The characterization of the interactions between biological macromolecules (proteins and nucleic acids) and metal-based drugs is a fundamental prerequisite for understanding their mechanisms of action. X-ray crystallography enables the structural analysis of such complexes with atomic level detail. However, this approach requires the preparation of highly diffracting single crystals, the measurement of diffraction patterns and the structural analysis and interpretation of macromolecule-metal interactions from electron density maps. In this review, we describe principles and methods used to grow and optimize crystals of protein-metallodrug adducts, to determine metal binding sites and to assign and validate metal ligands. Examples from the literature and experience in our own laboratory are provided and key challenges are described, notably crystallization and molecular model refinement against the X-ray diffraction data.

Abstract
The molecular structures of in cell protein crystals containing organometallic Pd(allyl) complexes were determined by performing microfocus X-ray diffraction experiments. The coordination sites in a polyhedrin mutant with deletion of selected amino acid residues located at the interface of the polyhedrin trimer are dramatically altered compared to those of the wild-type composite.

Abstract
There is growing interest in the design of protein assemblies for use in materials science and bionanotechnology. Protein assemblies, such as cages and crystalline protein structures, provide confined chemical environments that allow immobilization of metal complexes, nanomaterials, and proteins by metal coordination, assembly/disassembly reactions, genetic manipulation and crystallization methods. Protein assembly composites can be used to prepare hybrid materials with catalytic, magnetic and optical properties for cellular applications due to their high stability, solubility and biocompatibility. In this feature article, we focus on the recent development of ferritin as the most promising molecular template protein cage and in vivo and in vitro engineering of protein crystals as solid protein materials with functional properties.

Abstract
Self-assembled proteins have specific functions in biology. With inspiration provided by natural protein systems, several artificial protein assemblies have been constructed via site-specific mutations or metal coordination, which have important applications in catalysis, material and bio-supramolecular chemistry. Similar to natural protein assemblies, protein crystals have been recognized as protein assemblies formed of densely-packed monomeric proteins. Protein crystals can be functionalized with metal ions, metal complexes or nanoparticles via soaking, co-crystallization, creating new metal binding sites by site-specific mutations. The field of protein crystal engineering with metal coordination is relatively new and has gained considerable attention for developing solid biomaterials as well as structural investigations of enzymatic reactions, growth of nanoparticles and catalysis. This review highlights recent and significant research on functionalization of protein crystals with metal coordination and future prospects.

Abstract
Although toxic when inhaled in high concentrations, the gas carbon monoxide (CO) is endogenously produced in mammals, and various beneficial effects are reported. For potential medicinal applications and studying the molecular processes underlying the pharmacological action of CO, so-called CO-releasing molecules (CORMs), such as tricabonyldichlororuthenium(II) dimer (CORM-2), have been developed and widely used. Yet, it is not readily discriminated whether an observed effect of a CORM is caused by the released CO gas, the CORM itself, or any of its intermediate or final breakdown products. Focusing on Ca2+- and voltage-dependent K+ channels (KCa1.1) and voltage-gated K+ channels (Kv1.5, Kv11.1) relevant for cardiac safety pharmacology, we demonstrate that, in most cases, the functional impacts of CORM-2 on these channels are not mediated by CO. Instead, when dissolved in aqueous solutions, CORM-2 has the propensity of forming Ru(CO)2 adducts, preferentially to histidine residues, as demonstrated with synthetic peptides using mass-spectrometry analysis. For KCa1.1 channels we show that H365 and H394 in the cytosolic gating ring structure are affected by CORM-2. For Kv11.1 channels (hERG1) the extracellularly accessible histidines H578 and H587 are CORM-2 targets. The strong CO-independent action of CORM-2 on Kv11.1 and Kv1.5 channels can be completely abolished when CORM-2 is applied in the presence of an excess of free histidine or human serum albumin; cysteine and methionine are further potential targets. Off-site effects similar to those reported here for CORM-2 are found for CORM-3, another ruthenium-based CORM, but are diminished when using iron-based CORM-S1 and absent for manganese-based CORM-EDE1.

Abstract
Carbon monoxide (CO) is attracting increasing attention because of its role as a gasotransmitter with cytoprotective and homeostatic properties. Carbon monoxide releasing molecules (CORMs) are spatially and temporally controlled CO releasers that exhibit superior and more effective pharmaceutical traits than gaseous CO because of their chemistry and structure. Experimental and preclinical research in animal models has shown the therapeutic potential of inhaled CO and CORMs, and the biological effects of CO and CORMs have also been observed in preclinical trials via the genetic modulation of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1). In this review, we describe the pharmaceutical use of CO and CORMs, methods of detecting CO release, and developments in CORM design and synthesis. Many valuable clinical CORMs formulated using macromolecules and nanomaterials are also described.

Abstract
Photoactivatable CO releasing protein crystals were developed by immobilization of Mn carbonyl complexes in polyhedral crystals, which are spontaneously formed in insect cells. The photoactivatable CO release from the engineered protein crystals activates nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) upon stimulation by visible light irradiation with suppression of cytotoxicity of the Mn complex.
