Abstract
α-Synuclein (αS) is a presynaptic protein whose aggregates are considered as a hallmark of Parkinson's disease (PD). Although its physiological function is still under debate, it is widely accepted that its functions are always mediated by its interaction with membranes. The association of αS with phospholipid membranes occurs concomitant to its folding from its monomeric, unfolded state towards an antiparallel amphipathic α-helix. Besides this, copper ions can also bind αS and modify its aggregation propensity. The effect of Cu(II) and Cu(I) on the lipid-αS affinity and on the structure of the membrane-bound αS have not yet been studied. This knowledge is relevant to understand the molecular pathogenesis of PD. Therefore, we have here studied the affinities between Cu(II) and Cu(I) and the micelle-bound αS, as well as the effect of these cations on the structure of micelle-bound αS. Cu(II) or Cu(I) did not affect the α-helical structure of the micelle-bound αS. However, while Cu(I) binds at the same sites of αS in the presence or in the absence of micelles, the micelle-bound αS displays different Cu(II) binding sites than unbound αS. In any case, sodium docecyl sulphate -micelles reduce the stability of the αS complexes with both Cu(II) and Cu(I). Finally, we have observed that the micelle-bound αS is still able to prevent the Cu(II)-catalysed oxidation of neuronal metabolites (e.g. ascorbic acid) and the formation of reactive oxygen species, thus this binding does not impair its biological function as part of the antioxidant machinery.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by dopaminergic neuron degeneration and the accumulation of neuronal inclusions known as Lewy bodies, which are formed by aggregated and post-translationally modified α-synuclein (αS). Oxidative modifications such as the formation of 3-nitrotyrosine (3-NT) or di-tyrosine are found in αS deposits, and they could be promoted by the oxidative stress typical of PD brains. Many studies have tried to elucidate the molecular mechanism correlating nitroxidation, αS aggregation, and PD. However, it is unclear how nitroxidation affects the physiological function of αS. To clarify this matter, we synthetized an αS with its Tyr residues replaced by 3-NT. Its study revealed that Tyr nitroxidation had no effect on either the affinity of αS towards anionic micelles nor the overall structure of the micelle-bound αS, which retained its α-helical folding. Nevertheless, we observed that nitroxidation of Y39 lengthened the disordered stretch bridging the two consecutive α-helices. Conversely, the affinity of αS towards synaptic-like vesicles diminished as a result of Tyr nitroxidation. Additionally, we also proved that nitroxidation precluded αS from performing its physiological function as a catalyst of the clustering and the fusion of synaptic vesicles. Our findings represent a step forward towards the completion of the puzzle that must explain the molecular mechanism behind the link between αS-nitroxidation and PD.

Abstract
Human alpha-synuclein (αS) is an intrinsically disordered protein highly expressed in dopaminergic neurons. Its amyloid aggregates are the major component of Lewy bodies, which are considered a hallmark of Parkinson's disease (PD). αS has four different Met, which are particularly sensitive to oxidation, as most of them are found as Met sulfoxide (MetO) in the αS deposits. Consequently, researchers have invested mounting efforts trying to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying the links between oxidative stress, αS aggregation and PD. However, it has not been described yet the effect of Met oxidation on the physiological function of αS. Trying to shed light on this aspect, we have here studied a synthetic αS that displayed all its Met replaced by MetO moieties (αS-MetO). Our study has allowed to prove that MetO diminishes the affinity of αS towards anionic micelles (SDS), although the micelle-bound fraction of αS-MetO still adopts an α-helical folding resembling that of the lipid-bound αS. MetO also diminishes the affinity of αS towards synaptic-like vesicles, and its hindering effect is much more pronounced than that displayed on the αS-micelle affinity. Additionally, we have also demonstrated that MetO impairs the physiological function of αS as a catalyst of the clustering and the fusion of synaptic vesicles (SVs). Our findings provide a new understanding on how Met oxidation affects one of the most relevant biological functions attributed to αS that is to bind and cluster SVs along the neurotransmission.

Abstract
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is one of the most prevalent neurodegenerative disorders affecting the worldwide population. One of its hallmarks is the intraneuronal accumulation of insoluble Lewy bodies (LBs), which cause the death of dopaminergic neurons. α-Synuclein (αS) is the main component of these LBs and in them, it commonly contains non-enzymatic post-translational modifications, such as those resulting from its reaction with reactive carbonyl species arising as side products of the intraneuronal glycolysis (mainly methylglyoxal). Consequently, lysines of the αS found in LBs of diabetic individuals are usually carboxyethylated. A precise comprehension of the effect of Nε-(carboxyethyl)lysine (CEL) on the aggregation of αS and on its physiological function becomes crucial to fully understand the molecular mechanisms underlying the development of diabetes-induced PD. Consequently, we have here used a synthetic αS where all its Lys have been replaced by CEL moieties (αS-CEL), and we have studied how these modifications could impact on the neurotransmission mechanism. This study allows us to describe how the non-enzymatic glycosylation (glycation) affects the function of a protein like αS, involved in the pathogenesis of PD. CEL decreases the ability of αS to bind micelles, although the micelle-bound fraction of αS-CEL still displays an α-helical fold resembling that of the lipid-bound αS. However, CEL completely abolishes the affinity of αS towards synaptic-like vesicles and, consequently, it hampers its physiological function as a catalyst of the clustering and the fusion of the synaptic vesicles.

Abstract
α-Synuclein is an intrinsically disordered protein whose aggregation is related to Parkinson's disease and other neurodegenerative disorders. Metal cations are one of the main factors affecting the propensity of α-synuclein to aggregate, either by directly binding to it or by catalyzing the production of reactive oxygen species that oxidize it. His50, Asp121 and several additional C-terminal α-synuclein residues are binding sites for numerous metal cations, while methionine sulfoxidation occurs readily on this protein under oxidative stress conditions. Molecular dynamics simulations are an excellent tool to obtain a microscopic picture of how metal binding or methionine sulfoxidation alter the conformational preferences of α-synuclein and, hence, its aggregation propensity. In this work, we report the first coarse-grained molecular dynamics study comparing the conformational ensembles of the native protein, the protein bound to either Cu2+ or Ca2+ at its main binding sites, and the methionine-sulfoxidized protein. Our results suggest that these events alter the transient α-synuclein intramolecular contacts, inducing a greater solvent exposure of its hydrophobic, aggregation-prone NAC domain, in full agreement with a recent experimental study on Ca2+ binding. Moreover, metal-binding residues directly participate in the long-range contacts that shield this domain and regulate α-synuclein aggregation. These results provide a molecular-level rationalization of the enhanced fibrillation experimentally observed in the presence of Cu2+ or Ca2+ and the oligomerization induced by methionine sulfoxidation.

Abstract
Intraneuronal aggregation of the intrinsically disordered protein α-synuclein is at the core of Parkinson's disease and related neurodegenerative disorders. Several reports show that the concentration of salts in the medium heavily affects its aggregation rate and fibril morphology, but a characterization of the individual monomeric conformations underlying these effects is still lacking. In this work, we have applied our α-synuclein-optimized coarse-grained molecular dynamics approach to decipher the structural features of the protein monomer under a range of NaCl concentrations (0.0-1.0 M). The results show that key intramolecular contacts between the terminal domains are lost at intermediate concentrations (leading to extended conformations likely to fibrillate), but recovered at high concentrations (leading to compact conformations likely to evolve toward amorphous aggregates). The pattern of direct interactions of the terminal α-synuclein domains with Na+ and Cl- ions plays a key role in explaining this effect. Our results are consistent with a recent study reporting a fibrillation enhancement at moderate NaCl concentrations but an inhibition at higher concentrations. The present work will contribute to improving our understanding of the structural features of monomeric α-synuclein, determining its NaCl-induced fibrillation propensity and the molecular basis of synucleinopathies, necessary for the future development of disease-halting therapies.

Abstract
α-Synuclein (αS) aggregation is a hallmark in several neurodegenerative diseases. Among them, Parkinson's disease is highlighted, characterized by the intraneuronal deposition of Lewy bodies (LBs) which causes the loss of dopaminergic neurons. αS is the main component of LBs and in them, it usually contains post-translational modifications. One of them is the formation of advanced glycation end-products (mainly CEL and MOLD) arising from its reaction with methylglyoxal. Despite its biological relevance, there are no data available proving the effect of glycation on the conformation of αS, nor on its aggregation mechanism. This has been hampered by the formation of a heterogeneous set of compounds that precluded conformational studies. To overcome this issue, we have here produced αS homogeneously glycated with CEL. Its use, together with different biophysical techniques and molecular dynamics simulations, allowed us to study for the first time the effect of glycation on the conformation of a protein. CEL extended the conformation of the N-terminal domain as a result of the loss of transient N-/C-terminal long-range contacts while increasing the heterogeneity of the conformational population. CEL also inhibited the αS aggregation, but it was not able to disassemble preexisting amyloid fibrils, thus proving that CEL found on LBs must be formed in a later event after aggregation. We study the effect of an advanced glycation end product (N(ε)-(carboxyethyl)lysine), found on the Lewy bodies of people suffering from Parkinson’s disease, on the conformational and aggregation features of alpha-synuclein.![]()

Abstract
Pyridoxamine, one of the natural forms of vitamin B6, is known to be an effective inhibitor of the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), which are closely related to various human diseases. Pyridoxamine forms stable complexes with metal ions that catalyze the oxidative reactions taking place in the advanced stages of the protein glycation cascade. It also reacts with reactive carbonyl compounds generated as byproducts of protein glycation, thereby preventing further protein damage. We applied Density Functional Theory to study the primary antioxidant activity of pyridoxamine towards three oxygen-centered radicals (•OOH, •OOCH3 and •OCH3) to find out whether this activity may also play a crucial role in the context of protein glycation inhibition. Our results show that, at physiological pH, pyridoxamine can trap the •OCH3 radical, in both aqueous and lipidic media, with rate constants in the diffusion limit (>1.0 × 108 M - 1 s - 1 ). The quickest pathways involve the transfer of the hydrogen atoms from the protonated pyridine nitrogen, the protonated amino group or the phenolic group. Its reactivity towards •OOH and •OOCH3 is smaller, but pyridoxamine can still scavenge them with moderate rate constants in aqueous media. Since reactive oxygen species are also involved in the formation of AGEs, these results highlight that the antioxidant capacity of pyridoxamine is also relevant to explain its inhibitory role on the glycation process.

Abstract
Human α-synuclein is a small monomeric protein (140 residues) essential to maintain the function of the dopaminergic neurons and the neuronal redox balance. However, it holds a dark side since it is able to clump inside the neurons forming insoluble aggregates known as Lewy bodies, which are considered the hallmark of Parkinson's disease. Sporadic mutations and nonenzymatic post-translational modifications are well-known to stimulate the formation of Lewy bodies. Yet, the effect of nonenzymatic post-translational modifications on the function of α-synuclein has been studied less intense. Therefore, here we study how nitration and glycation mediated by methylglyoxal affect the redox features of α-synuclein. Both diminish the ability of α-synuclein to chelate Cu2+, except when Nε-(carboxyethyl)lysine or Nε-(carboxymethyl)lysine (two advanced glycation end products highly prevalent in vivo) are formed. This results in a lower capacity to prevent the Cu-catalyzed ascorbic acid degradation and to delay the formation of H2O2. However, only methylglyoxal was able to abolish the ability of α-synuclein to inhibit the free radical release. Both nitration and glycation enhanced the α-synuclein availability to be damaged by O2•-, although glycation made α-synuclein less reactive toward HO•. Our data represent the first report describing how nonenzymatic post-translational modifications might affect the redox function of α-synuclein, thus contributing to a better understanding of its pathological implications.

Abstract
Glycation occurs in vivo as a result of the nonenzymatic reaction of carbohydrates (and/or their autoxidation products) with proteins, DNA, or lipids. Protein glycation causes loss-of-function and, consequently, the development of diabetic-related diseases. Glycation also boosts protein aggregation, which can be directly related with the higher prevalence of aggregating diseases in diabetic people. However, the molecular mechanism connecting glycation with aggregation still remains unclear. Previously we described mechanistically how glycation of hen egg-white lysozyme (HEWL) with ribose induced its aggregation. Here we address the question of whether the ribose-induced aggregation is a general process or it depends on the chemical nature of the glycating agent. Glycation of HEWL with glycolaldehyde occurs through two different scenarios depending on the HEWL concentration regime (both within the micromolar range). At low HEWL concentration, non-cross-linking fluorescent advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) are formed on Lys side chains, which do not change the protein structure but inhibit its enzymatic activity. These AGEs have little impact on HEWL surface hydrophobicity and, therefore, a negligible effect on its aggregation propensity. Upon increasing HEWL concentration, the glycation mechanism shifts toward the formation of intermolecular cross-links, which triggers a polymerization cascade involving the formation of insoluble spherical-like aggregates. These results notably differ with the aggregation-modulation mechanism of ribosylated HEWL directed by hydrophobic interactions. Additionally, their comparison constitutes the first experimental evidence showing that the mechanism underlying the aggregation of a glycated protein depends on the chemical nature of the glycating agent.

Abstract
DNA nucleobases undergo non-enzymatic glycation to nucleobase adducts which can play important roles in vivo. In this work, we conducted a comprehensive experimental and theoretical kinetic study of the mechanisms of formation of glyoxal-guanine adducts over a wide pH range in order to elucidate the molecular basis for the glycation process. Also, we performed molecular dynamics simulations to investigate how open or cyclic glyoxal-guanine adducts can cause structural changes in an oligonucleotide model. A thermodynamic study of other glycating agents including methylglyoxal, acrolein, crotonaldehyde, 4-hydroxynonenal and 3-deoxyglucosone revealed that, at neutral pH, cyclic adducts were more stable than open adducts; at basic pH, however, the open adducts of 3-deoxyglucosone, methylglyoxal and glyoxal were more stable than their cyclic counterparts. This result can be ascribed to the ability of the adducts to cross-link DNA. The new insights may contribute to improve our understanding of the connection between glycation and DNA cross-linking.

Abstract
NMR has been used to elucidate the folding pathway of neuromedin C and to characterize the architecture of the NMC–SDS micelle complex. Its C-terminal region is more prone to acquire an α-helical fold than the N-terminus, and it also binds to micelles.

Abstract
Yfh1, the yeast ortholog of frataxin, is a protein of limited thermodynamic stability which undergoes cold denaturation at temperatures above the water freezing point. We have previously demonstrated that its stability is strongly dependent on ionic strength and that monovalent or divalent cations are able to considerably stabilize the fold. Here, we present a study of the folded state and of the structural determinants that lead to the strong salt dependence. We demonstrate by nuclear magnetic resonance that, at room temperature, Yfh1 exists as an equilibrium mixture of a folded species and a folding intermediate in slow exchange equilibrium. The equilibrium completely shifts in favor of the folded species by the addition of even small concentrations of salt. We demonstrate that Yfh1 is destabilized by a localized energetic frustration arising from an “electrostatic hinge” made of negatively charged residues mapped in the β-sheet. Salt interactions at this site have a “frustration-relieving” effect. We discuss the consequences of our findings for the function of Yfh1 and for our understanding of protein folding stability.

Abstract
Protein glycation causes loss-of-function through a process that has been associated with several diabetic-related diseases. Additionally, glycation has been hypothesized as a promoter of protein aggregation, which could explain the observed link between hyperglycaemia and the development of several aggregating diseases. Despite its relevance in a range of diseases, the mechanism through which glycation induces aggregation remains unknown. Here we describe the molecular basis of how glycation is linked to aggregation by applying a variety of complementary techniques to study the nonenzymatic glycation of hen lysozyme with ribose (ribosylation) as the reducing carbohydrate. Ribosylation involves a chemical multistep conversion that induces chemical modifications on lysine side chains without altering the protein structure, but changing the protein charge and enlarging its hydrophobic surface. These features trigger lysozyme native-like aggregation by forming small oligomers that evolve into bigger insoluble particles. Moreover, lysozyme incubated with ribose reduces the viability of SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells. Our new insights contribute toward a better understanding of the link between glycation and aggregation.

Abstract
Schiff bases (SBs) are the initial products of non-enzymatic glycation reactions, which are associated to some diabetes-related diseases. In this work, we used physiological pH and temperature conditions to study the formation kinetics of the SBs of 1,2-dihexanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (DPHE) and 1,2-dihexanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-l-serine (DHPS) with various glycating compounds and with pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (an effective glycation inhibitor). Based on the obtained results, the hydrophobic environment simultaneously decreases the nucleophilic character of the amino group (k1) and increases its pKa, thereby increasing the formation rate of SB (kobs). Therefore, the presence of hydrophobic chains in aminophospholipids facilitates the formation and stabilization of SBs, and also, in a biological environment, their glycation. Additionally, the results confirm the inhibitory action of B6 vitamers on aminophospholipid glycation.

Abstract
Pyridoxamine is a vitamin B(6) derivative involved in biological reactions such as transamination, and can also act as inhibitor in protein glycation. In both cases, it has been reported that Schiff base formation between pyridoxamine and carbonyl compounds is the main step. Nevertheless, few studies on the Schiff base formation have been reported to date. In this work, we conduct a comparative study of the reaction of pyridoxamine and 4-picolylamin (a pyridoxamine analog) with various carbonyl compounds including propanal, formaldehyde and pyruvic acid. Based on the results, 4-picolylamin forms a Schiff base as end-product of its reactions with propanal and pyruvic acid, but a carbinolamine with formaldehyde. On the other hand, pyridoxamine forms a Schiff base with the three reagents, but the end-product is in equilibrium with its hemiaminal form, which results from the attack of the phenolate ion of the pyridine ring on the imine carbon. This isomeric equilibrium should be considered in studying reactions involving amine derivatives of vitamin B(6).

Abstract
In this work, we applied multi-wavelength stopped-flow spectroscopy (MSFS) to study the chemical equilibria between tautomeric or hydrated forms of various vitamin B6 compounds and the Schiff base formed by epsilon-aminocaproic acid (= 6-aminohexanoic acid) with pyridoxal 5'-phosphate at 25 degrees and variable pH. Since some of these compounds are photosensitive, we analyzed the possible occurrence of any secondary photo-induced processes under the conditions of irradiation in the MSFS equipment (continuous irradiation with light from a 75-W Xe lamp spanning the wavelength range of 200-700 nm). To determine the tautomeric composition of these compounds, the electronic absorption spectra were analyzed by means of log-normal curves. Continuous irradiation of pyridoxamine and pyridoxal 5'-phosphate over the wavelength range of 200-700 nm displaces the chemical equilibrium between the tautomeric or hydrated forms of these compounds. However, the Schiff base of epsilon-aminocaproic acid with pyridoxal 5'-phosphate is insensitive to the radiation used. The photo-induced processes detected in pyridoxamine and pyridoxal 5'-phosphate should be taken into account in examining vitamers by MSFS. In fact, these additional processes should be considered in studying the mechanism of action of vitamin B6-dependent enzymes by the MSFS technique, whenever some free vitamer may be present in solution.

Abstract
Glycosylation of proteins by glucose produces toxic and immunogenic compounds called 'advanced glycosylation end products' (AGEs), which are the origin of pathological symptoms in various chronic diseases. In this work, a kinetic study of the reaction between glucose (2) and pyridoxamine (1)--a potent inhibitor of AGEs formation both in vivo and in vitro--was conducted. The NH2 group of pyridoxamine was found to react with the C=O group of glucose to form the Schiff base 9 (Scheme 2). Subsequently, the Schiff base gives rise to other products, including compound 3, pyridoxal, pyridoxine, and 4-pyridoxic acid. Compound 3 inhibits the Amadori rearrangement, and prevents the formation of other C=O groups capable of triggering glycosylation processes. Pyridoxal and pyridoxine can also inhibit protein glycosylation via other previously reported mechanisms.

Abstract
Aqueous solutions of pyridoxamine 5' phosphate (PMP) at several pH conditions have been studied using FT-IR spectroscopy using the attenuated total reflection (ATR) technique. In spite of the strong intense OH stretching and bending bands of water, most of the vibrational structure of solute can be observed from 900 to 1500 cm(-1). With increasing pH, very intense changes in the spectra have been observed due to concentration changes of the hydrogen bonded species. Spectra of the different ionic species have been calculated from the mathematical fitting of experimental absorption spectra as a function of pH. Spectra are characterized by the presence of broad band-like structures in the 2400-3500 cm(-1) region, with extended continua that indicate very large proton polarizability of hydrogen bonds. Contributions of the phosphate group to the total absorption have been analyzed by comparison with pyridoxamine spectra.

Abstract
Various electrostatic and structural parameters for a series of classical and non-classical beta-lactams were determined and compared in order to ascertain whether some specific beta-lactams possess antibacterial or beta-lactamase inhibitory properties. The electrostatic parameters obtained, based on the Distributed Multipole Analysis (DMA) of high-quality wavefunctions for the studied structures, suggest that some non-classical beta-lactams effectively inhibit the action of beta-lactamases. As shown in this work, such electrostatic parameters provide much more reliable information about the antibacterial and inhibitory properties of beta-lactams than do structural parameters.

Abstract
A kinetic study on the alkaline hydrolysis of cefotaxime at pH 10.5 and 37 degrees C has been carried out by using HPLC and 1H NMR. The main resulting degradation products have been isolated and identified. These include, apart from the well-known deacetylcefotaxime, the exocyclic methylene derivative, the 7-epimer of cefotaxime and the 7-epimer of deacetylcefotaxime. The kinetic constants involved in the process have been determined and according to the experimental results the attack of the hydroxyl group on the ester function bonded to the 3'-carbon is the fastest step in the proposed kinetic scheme. It should be emphasized that the base-catalyzed epimerization of the hydrogen at the 7 position clearly depends on the presence of a good electron-withdrawing group at C(3'). On the other hand, no hydrolysis of the amide at position 7 was detected.
