Abstract
Chemical chaperones are low-molecular-weight compounds that suppress protein aggregation. They can influence different stages of the aggregation process-the stage of protein denaturation, the nucleation stage and the stage of aggregate growth-and this may lead to a change in the aggregation kinetic regime. Here, the possibility of changing the kinetic regime in the presence of a chemical chaperone 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (2-HP-β-CD) was investigated for a test system based on the thermally induced aggregation of yeast alcohol dehydrogenase (yADH) at 56 °C. According to differential scanning calorimetry data, 2-HP-β-CD did not affect the stage of the protein molecule unfolding. Dynamic light scattering data indicated changes in the aggregation kinetics of yADH during the nucleation and aggregate growth stages in the presence of the chaperone. The analysis of kinetic curves showed that the order of aggregation with respect to protein (nc), calculated for the stage of aggregate growth, changed from nc = 1 to nc = 2 with the addition of 100 mM 2-HP-β-CD. The mechanism of 2-HP-β-CD action on the yADH thermal aggregation leading to a change in its kinetic regime of aggregation is discussed.

Abstract
Formation and accumulation of protein aggregates adversely affect intracellular processes in living cells and are negative factors in the production and storage of protein preparations. Chemical chaperones can prevent protein aggregation, but this effect is not universal and depends on the target protein structure and kinetics of its aggregation. We studied the effect of betaine (Bet) and lysine (Lys) on thermal aggregation of muscle glycogen phosphorylase b (Phb) at 48°C (aggregation order, n = 0.5), UV-irradiated Phb (UV-Phb) at 37°C (n = 1), and apo-form of Phb (apo-Phb) at 37°C (n = 2). Using dynamic light scattering, differential scanning calorimetry, and analytical ultracentrifugation, we have shown that Bet protected Phb and apo-Phb from aggregation, but accelerated the aggregation of UV-Phb. At the same time, Lys prevented UV-Phb and apo-Phb aggregation, but increased the rate of Phb aggregation. The mechanisms of chemical chaperone action on the tertiary and quaternary structures and kinetics of thermal aggregation of the target proteins are discussed. Comparison of the effects of chemical chaperones on the proteins with different aggregation kinetics provides more complete information on the mechanism of their action.

Abstract
αB-Crystallin (αB-Cr), one of the main crystalline lens proteins, along with other crystallins maintains lens transparency suppressing protein aggregation and thus preventing cataractogenesis. αB-Cr belongs to the class of molecular chaperones; being expressed in many tissues it has a dynamic quaternary structure, which is essential for its chaperone-like activity. Shift in the equilibrium between ensembles of oligomers of different size allows regulating the chaperone activity. Trehalose is known to inhibit protein aggregation in vivo and in vitro, and it is widely used in biotechnology. The results of studying the effect of trehalose on the chaperone-like activity of crystallins can serve as a basis for the design of drugs delaying cataractogenesis. We have studied the trehalose effect on the quaternary structure and anti-aggregation activity of αB-Cr using muscle glycogen phosphorylase b (Phb) as a target protein. According to the dynamic light scattering data, trehalose affects the nucleation stage of Phb thermal aggregation at 48°C, and an increase in the αB-Cr adsorption capacity (AC0) is the main effect of trehalose on the aggregation process in the presence of the protein chaperone (AC0 increases 1.5-fold in the presence of 66 mM trehalose). According to the sedimentation analysis data, trehalose stabilizes the dimeric form of Phb at the stages of denaturation and dissociation and enhances the interaction of αB-Cr with the target protein. Moreover, trehalose shifts the equilibrium between the αB-Cr oligomers towards the smaller forms. Thus, trehalose affects the quaternary structure of αB-Cr and increases its anti-aggregation activity at the nucleation stage.

Abstract
The study was aimed to evaluate the impact of peroxynitrite (PON, oxidative stress agent in diabetes), methylglyoxal (MGO, diabetes-associated reactive carbonyl compound), and their simultaneous application on the structural and functional features of human αA-crystallin (αA-Cry) using various spectroscopy techniques. Additionally, the surface tension and oligomer size distribution of the treated and untreated protein were tested using tensiometric analysis and dynamic light scattering, respectively. Our results indicated that the reaction of PON and MGO with human αA-Cry leads to the formation of new chromophores, alterations in the secondary to quaternary protein structure, reduction in the size of protein oligomers, and significant enhancement in the chaperone activity of αA-Cry. To reverse the effects of the tested compounds, ascorbic acid and glutathione (main components of lens antioxidant defense system) were applied. As expected, the two antioxidant compounds significantly prevented formation of high molecular weight aggregates of αA-Cry (according to SDS-PAGE). Our results suggest that the lens antioxidant defense system, in particular, glutathione, may provide a strong protection against rapid incidence and progression of diabetic cataract by preventing the destructive reactions of highly reactive DM-associated metabolites.

Abstract
The current study was aimed to investigate the protective effect of vitamins C and E (VCE) supplementation, exercise, and their concurrent application against cataract incidence in the diabetic rats. The obtained results indicated that different supplementation and training treatments were capable to preserve the lens transparency in the diabetic rats. Also, upon applying different supplementation and training treatments, the level of glutathione (GSH) and activity of antioxidant enzymes in the diabetic rats was preserved approximately close to their control levels. In addition, different treatments were capable to maintain the structural integrity of the lens proteins in diabetic rats. Moreover, VCE supplementation, exercise and their simultaneous application prevented lens crystallins of diabetic rats against fibrillation and formation of the increased oligomeric sizes. The results of this study signify the importance of antioxidant supplementation and exercise in reducing the detrimental effects of hyperglycemia on the eye lenses.

Abstract
Chemical chaperones are a class of small molecules, which enhance protein stability, folding, inhibit protein aggregation, and are used for long-term storage of therapeutic proteins. The combined action of chemical chaperones trehalose, betaine and lysine on stability, aggregation and oligomeric state of muscle glycogen phosphorylase b (Phb) has been studied. Dynamic light scattering data indicate that the affinity of trehalose to Phb increased in the presence of betaine or lysine at both stages (stage of nucleation and aggregate growth) of enzyme aggregation at 48 °C, in contrast, the affinity of betaine to the enzyme in the presence of lysine remained practically unchanged. According to differential scanning calorimetry and analytical ultracentrifugation data, the mixture of trehalose and betaine stabilized Phb stronger than either of them in total. Moreover, the destabilizing effect of lysine on the enzyme was almost completely compensated by trehalose and only partially by betaine. The main protective effect of the mixtures of osmolytes and lysine is associated with their influence on the dissociation/denaturation stage, which is the rate-limiting one of Phb aggregation. Thus, a pair of chaperones affects the stability, oligomeric state, and aggregation of Phb differently than individual chaperones.

Abstract
Glycine to serine substitution at position 154 of human αB-crystallin (αB-Cry) is behind the development of cardiomyopathy and late-onset distal myopathy. The current study was conducted with the aim to investigate the structural and functional features of the G154S mutant αB-Cry using various spectroscopic techniques and microscopic analyses. The secondary and tertiary structures of human αB-Cry were preserved mainly in the presence of G154S mutation, but the mutant protein indicated a reduced chaperone-like activity when γ-Cry as its natural partner in eye lenses was the substrate protein. Moreover, a significant reduction in the enzyme refolding ability and in vivo chaperone activity of the mutant protein were observed. Also, the mutant protein displayed reduced conformational stability upon urea-induced denaturation. Both fluorescence and electron microscopic analyses suggested that G154S mutant protein has an increased susceptibility for amyloid fibril formation. Therefore, the pathomechanism of G154S mutation can be explained by its attenuated chaperone function, decreased conformational stability, and increased amyloidogenic propensity. Some of these important changes may also alter the correct interaction of the mutated αB-Cry with its target proteins in myopathy.

Abstract
In human αB-crystallin or HspB5, the substitution of arginine residue at position 157 with histidine has been reported to cause cardiomyopathy. In this study, the impact of R157H mutation on the structure, stability and functional properties of human αB-crystallin was investigated using a variety of spectroscopic techniques and microscopic analyses. Our spectroscopic analyses revealed that this mutation has a negligible impact on the secondary and tertiary structures of HspB5 but its quaternary structure underwent fundamental changes. Although the chemical stability of the mutant protein remained largely unchanged, the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurement suggested that its thermal stability was reduced. As examined with transmission electron microscopy, αB-crystallin and its mutant indicated a similar tendency for the amyloid fibril formation under thermochemical stress. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) analysis suggested important changes in the quaternary (oligomeric) structures of the mutant protein as compared with the native protein counterpart. Also, the mutant protein indicated an improved chaperone-like activity under in vitro assessment. In a pH-dependent manner, the side chains of arginine and histidine have different capabilities for establishing hydrogen bonds and electrostatic interaction (salt bridge) and this variation may be sufficient to produce the larger changes that ultimately alter the interaction of this protein with other target proteins. Overall, the pathogenic contribution of this mutation in cardiomyopathy can be explained by its role in quaternary structure/stability alteration of the mutated protein.

Abstract
Arginine (Arg) is frequently used in biotechnology and pharmaceutics to stabilize protein preparations. When using charged ions like Arg, it is necessary to take into account their contribution to the increase in ionic strength, in addition to the effect of Arg on particular processes occurring under the conditions of constancy of ionic strength. Here, we examined contribution of ionic strength (0.15 and 0.5 M) to the effects of Arg on denaturation, thermal inactivation and aggregation of skeletal muscle glycogen phosphorylase b (Phb). Dynamic light scattering, analytical ultracentrifugation, differential scanning calorimetry, circular dichroism and enzymatic activity assay were used to assess the effects of Arg at constant ionic strength compared with the effects of ionic strength alone. We found that high ionic strength did not affect the secondary structure of Phb, but changed conformation of the protein. Such a destabilization of the enzyme causes an increase in the initial rate of aggregation and inactivation of Phb thereby affecting its denaturation. Binding of Arg causes additional changes in the protein conformation, weakening the bonds between monomers in the dimer. This causes the dimer to dissociate into monomers, which rapidly aggregate. Thus, Arg acts on these processes much stronger than just ionic strength.

Abstract
Small heat-shock proteins (sHSPs) are ATP-independent molecular chaperones that interact with partially unfolded proteins, preventing their aberrant aggregation, thereby exhibiting a chaperone-like activity. Dynamics of the quaternary structure plays an important role in the chaperone-like activity of sHSPs. However, relationship between the dynamic structure of sHSPs and their chaperone-like activity remains insufficiently characterized. Many factors (temperature, ions, a target protein, crowding etc.) affect the structure and activity of sHSPs. The least studied is an effect of crowding on sHSPs activity. In this work the chaperone-like activity of HSPB5 was quantitatively characterized by dynamic light scattering using two test systems, namely test systems based on heat-induced aggregation of muscle glycogen phosphorylase b (Phb) at 48 °C and dithiothreitol-induced aggregation of α-lactalbumin at 37 °C. Analytical ultracentrifugation was used to control the oligomeric state of HSPB5 and target proteins. The possible anti-aggregation functioning of suboligomeric forms of HSPB5 is discussed. The effect of crowding on HSPB5 anti-aggregation activity was characterized using Phb as a target protein. The duration of the nucleation stage was shown to decrease with simultaneous increase in the relative rate of aggregation of Phb in the presence of HSPB5 under crowded conditions. Crowding may subtly modulate sHSPs activity.

Abstract
Many functions of phosphorylase kinase (PhK) are regulated by Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions. Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions stimulate activity of PhK, induce the changes in the tertiary and quaternary structure of the hexadecameric enzyme molecule, provoke association/aggregation of PhK molecules, enhance PhK binding to glycogen. To establish the kinetic regime of Ca2+ and Mg2+-induced aggregation of PhK from rabbit skeletal muscles at 40 °C, in the present work the kinetics of aggregation was studied at various protein concentrations using the dynamic light scattering. The proposed mechanism of aggregation involves the stage of unfolding of the protein molecule with retention of the integrity of its oligomeric structure, the nucleation stage and stages of the growth of protein aggregates. The initial rate of the aggregation process at the stage of aggregate growth depends linearly on the protein concentration. This means that the order of aggregation with respect to the protein is equal to unity and the aggregation rate is limited by the rate of protein unfolding. The rate constant of the first order characterizing the stage of protein unfolding was found to be equal to 0.071 min-1 (40 mM Hepes, pH 6.8, 100 mM NaCl, 0.1 mM Ca2+, 10 mM Mg2+).

Abstract
Small heat shock proteins (sHsps) are molecular chaperones preventing protein aggregation. Dynamics of quaternary structure plays an important role in the chaperone-like activity of sHsps. However, an interrelation between the oligomeric state and chaperone-like activity of sHsps remains insufficiently characterized. Most of the accumulated data were obtained in dilute protein solutions, leaving the question of the oligomeric state of sHsps in crowded intracellular media largely unanswered. Here, we analyzed the effect of crowding on the oligomeric state of αB-crystallin (αB-Cr) using analytical ultracentrifugation. Marked increase in the sedimentation coefficient of αB-Cr was observed in the presence of polyethylene glycol (PEG), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) at 48 °C. An especially pronounced effect was detected for the PEG and TMAO mixture, where the sedimentation coefficient (s20,w) of αB-Cr increased from 10.7 S in dilute solution up to 40.7 S in the presence of crowding agents. In the PEG + TMAO mixture, addition of model protein substrate (muscle glycogen phosphorylase b) induced dissociation of large αB-Cr oligomers and formation of complexes with smaller sedimentation coefficients, supporting the idea that, under crowding conditions, protein substrates can promote dissociation of large αB-Cr oligomers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bioconjugates prepared from photoactive molecules and metal nanoparticles are suitable for the development of new optoelectronic devices and for theranostic applications in medicine. METHODS We produced a bioconjugate of R-phycoerythrin (R-PE), a photosynthetic pigment of red algae, with Ag0 nanoparticles (Ag0 NPs) synthesized in its tunnel cavities by mixing aqueous solutions of AgNO3 and R-PE without exogenous reductant. In freshly prepared bioconjugate (Ag0⋅R-PE), the diameter of Ag0 NPs measured in electron microscopic images was 6.5 ± 0.5 nm, being commensurate with the length of R-PE tunnel cavity, and they were found to emit bright visible fluorescence. RESULT The initial aggregation temperature (T0) of freshly prepared Ag0⋅R-PE was decreased, compared to that of native R-PE (33 vs. 44°C). Upon the ripening of Ag0 NPs, their fluorescence was almost entirely quenched, and giant surface-enhanced Raman scattering was recorded. The bioconjugate self-assembled into nanorods 25 ± 5 nm long and could withstand heating to 90°C. Further heating (90°C → 100°C) resulted in the formation of filaments which are 0.5 ± 0.2 μm long and spherical aggregates 60 ± 10 nm in diameter. CONCLUSION These data can contribute to the development of practical applications for the Ag0⋅R-PE bioconjugate.

Abstract
The chronically exposure of eye lenses to ultra violet and visible light of the solar radiation is an important risk factor for development of the senile cataract diseases. Various photosensitizer molecules including riboflavin (RF) play a significant role in photo-oxidative damages of lens proteins underlying development of opacity in the lenticular tissues. In the current study, RF-mediated photo-oxidation of human αA-crystallin (αA-Cry) was assessed using SDS-PAGE analysis, dynamic light scattering and other spectroscopic assessments. The RF-photosensitized reactions led to non-disulfide covalent cross-linking, oligomerization and significant structural changes in αA-Cry. The photo-damaging of αA-Cry under solar radiation was also accompanied by the reduction in both Trp and Tyr fluorescence intensities which followed by the formation of new photosensitizer chromophores. The solvent exposed hydrophobic patches, secondary structures and chaperone-like activity of αA-Cry were significantly altered after exposure to the solar radiation in the presence of RF. Although glutathione and ascorbate were capable to partially protect the photo-induced structural damages of human αA-Cry, they also disrupted its chaperone function when co-exposed with this protein to the solar radiation. Also, the most promising data were obtained with cysteine which its availability in the lenticular tissues is a rate limiting factor for the biosynthesis of glutathione. Overall our results suggest that glutathione and ascorbate, as the major anti-oxidant compounds within lenticular tissues, demonstrate controversial effect on structure and chaperone-like activity of human αA-Cry. Elucidation of this effect may demand further experiments.

Abstract
Different test systems are used to characterize the anti-aggregation efficiency of molecular chaperone proteins and of low-molecular-weight chemical chaperones. Test systems based on aggregation of UV-irradiated protein are of special interest because they allow studying the protective action of different agents at physiological temperatures. The kinetics of UV-irradiated glycogen phosphorylase b (UV-Phb) from rabbit skeletal muscle was studied at 37°C using dynamic light scattering in a wide range of protein concentrations. It has been shown that the order of aggregation with respect to the protein is equal to unity. A conclusion has been made that the rate-limiting stage of the overall process of aggregation is heat-induced structural reorganization of a UV-Phb molecule, which contains concealed damage.

Abstract
Peroxynitrite (PON) and methylglyoxal (MGO), two diabetes-associated compounds, are believed to be important causative players in development of diabetic cataracts. In the current study, different spectroscopic methods, gel electrophoresis, lens culture and microscopic assessments were applied to examine the impact of individual, subsequent or simultaneous modification of lens crystallins with MGO and PON on their structure, oligomerization and aggregation. The protein modifications were confirmed with detection of the significantly increased quantity of carbonyl groups and decreased levels of sulfhydryl, tyrosine and tryptophan. Also, lens proteins modification with these chemical agents was accompanied with important structural alteration, oligomerization, disulfide/chromophore mediated protein crosslinking and important proteolytic instability. All these structural damages were more pronounced when the lens proteins were modified in the presence of both mentioned chemical agents, either in sequential or simultaneous manner. Ascorbic acid and glutathione, as the main components of lens antioxidant defense mechanism, were also capable to markedly prevent the damaging effects of PON and MGO on lens crystallins, as indicated by gel electrophoresis. The results of this study may highlight the importance of lens antioxidant defense system in protection of crystallins against the structural insults induced by PON and MGO during chronic hyperglycemia in the diabetic patients.

Abstract
Protein stability is a fundamental characteristic essential for understanding conformational transformations of the proteins in the cell. When using protein preparations in biotechnology and biomedicine, the problem of protein stability is of great importance. The kinetics of denaturation of oligomeric proteins may have characteristic properties determined by the quaternary structure. The kinetic schemes of denaturation can include the multiple stages of conformational transitions in the protein oligomer and stages of reversible dissociation of the oligomer. In this case, the shape of the kinetic curve of denaturation or the shape of the melting curve registered by differential scanning calorimetry can vary with varying the protein concentration. The experimental data illustrating dissociative mechanism for irreversible thermal denaturation of oligomeric proteins have been summarized in the present review. The use of test systems based on thermal aggregation of oligomeric proteins for screening of agents possessing anti-aggregation activity is discussed.

Abstract
Various post-translational lens crystallins modifications result in structural and functional insults, contributing to the development of lens opacity and cataract disorders. Lens crystallins are potential targets of homocysteinylation, particularly under hyperhomocysteinemia which has been indicated in various eye diseases. Since both homocysteinylation and acetylation primarily occur on protein free amino groups, we applied different spectroscopic methods and gel mobility shift analysis to examine the possible preventive role of acetylation against homocysteinylation. Lens crystallins were extensively acetylated in the presence of acetic anhydride and then subjected to homocysteinylation in the presence of homocysteine thiolactone (HCTL). Extensive acetylation of the lens crystallins results in partial structural alteration and enhancement of their stability, as well as improvement of α-crystallin chaperone-like activity. In addition, acetylation partially prevents HCTL-induced structural alteration and aggregation of lens crystallins. Also, acetylation protects against HCTL-induced loss of α-crystallin chaperone activity. Additionally, subsequent acetylation and homocysteinylation cause significant proteolytic degradation of crystallins. Therefore, further experimentation is required in order to judge effectively the preventative role of acetylation on the structural and functional insults induced by homocysteinylation of lens crystallins.

Abstract
To characterize the role of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate in stabilization of the conformation of muscle glycogen phosphorylase b (Phb), the mechanism of thermal aggregation for holo- and apoforms of Phb has been studied using dynamic light scattering. The order of aggregation with respect to the protein (n) for aggregation of holoPhb at 48°C is equal to 0.5 suggesting that the dissociative mechanism of denaturation is operative and denaturation is followed by rapid aggregation stage. In the case of aggregation of apoPhb at 37°C n=2 and the rate-limiting stage is aggregation of unfolded protein molecules.

Abstract
It is becoming evident that small heat shock proteins (sHsps) are important players of protein homeostasis system. Their ability to bind misfolded proteins may play a crucial role in preventing protein aggregation in cells. The remarkable structural plasticity of sHsps is considered to underlie the mechanism of their activity. However, all our knowledge of the anti-aggregation functioning of sHsps is based on data obtained in vitro in media greatly different from the cellular highly crowded milieu. The present review highlights available data on the effect of crowding on the anti-aggregation activity of sHsps. There is some evidence that crowding affects conformation and dynamics of sHsps oligomers as well as their anti-aggregation properties. Crowding stimulates association of sHsp-client protein complexes into large-sized aggregates thus diminishing the apparent anti-aggregation activity of sHsps. Nevertheless, it is also shown that complexes between suboligomers (dissociated forms) of sHsps and client proteins may be stabilized and exist for longer period of time under crowded conditions. Moreover, crowding may retard the initial stages of aggregation which correspond to the formation of sHsp-containing nuclei and their clusters. Thus, dissociation of sHsps into suboligomers appears to be an important feature for the anti-aggregation activity of sHsps in crowded media.

Abstract
Macromolecular crowding can facilitate protein-protein interactions in the cell, in particular aggregation processes. To characterize the anti-aggregation activity of chaperones under conditions mimicking the crowded environment in the cell, two basic test systems are used. Test systems of the first type are based on aggregation of target proteins undergoing unfolding under different factors. Dithithreitol-induced aggregation of α-lactalbumin is used as such a system. The increase in the duration of lag phase after the addition of the crowder (polyethylene glycol; PEG) to the system containing α-crystallin has been interpreted as a retardation of the stages that are the rate-limiting stages of the general process of aggregation (the nucleation stage and the stages of clusterization of nuclei). Test systems of the second type are based on aggregation of UV-irradiated proteins. Such test systems permit investigating the effects of different agents directly on the stages of aggregation of unfolded protein. UV-irradiated glycogen phosphorylase b (Phb) is used as a target protein. Analysis of the initial rate of aggregation after the addition of PEG at different points in time to the mixture of UV-irradiated Phb and α-crystallin allowed estimating the time of half-conversion for the structural rearrangement of the primary UV-irradiated Phb-α-crystallin complex.

Abstract
CdS quantum dots (CdS QDs) 4.3 nm in diameter synthesized in an AOT/isooctane/water microemulsion and in R-phycoerythrin tunnel cavities (3.5 × 6.0 nm) were analyzed for photoelectrochemical properties. The CdS QDs preparations were applied onto a platinum electrode to obtain solid films. Experiments were performed in a two-section vessel, with one section filled with ethanol and the other, with 3 M KCl. The sections were connected through an agar stopper. It was found that illumination of the films resulted in a change of the electrode potential. The magnitude of this change and the kinetics of the appearance and disappearance of the photopotential, i.e., the difference between the electrode potential on the light and in dark, depended on the nature of the QD shell. The photovoltaic effect of CdS QDs in R-phycoerythrin, compared to that of CdS QDs in AOT/isooctane micelles, is three to four times greater due to the photosensitizing action of R-phycoerythrin. The photosensitized effect was markedly higher than the photoelectric sensitivity of R-phycoerythrin and had the opposite polarity. Changes in the potential upon turning the light on and off could be observed repeatedly.

Abstract
The methodology for quantification of the anti-aggregation activity of protein and chemical chaperones has been elaborated. The applicability of this methodology was demonstrated using a test-system based on dithiothreitol-induced aggregation of bovine serum albumin at 45°C as an example. Methods for calculating the initial rate of bovine serum albumin aggregation (v agg) have been discussed. The comparison of the dependences of v agg on concentrations of intact and cross-linked α-crystallin allowed us to make a conclusion that a non-linear character of the dependence of v agg on concentration of intact α-crystallin was due to the dynamic mobility of the quaternary structure of α-crystallin and polydispersity of the α-crystallin-target protein complexes. To characterize the anti-aggregation activity of the chemical chaperones (arginine, arginine ethyl ester, arginine amide and proline), the semi-saturation concentration [L]0.5 was used. Among the chemical chaperones studied, arginine ethyl ester and arginine amide reveal the highest anti-aggregation activity ([L]0.5 = 53 and 58 mM, respectively).

Abstract
The synthesis and analysis of nanostructures in the cavities of protein molecules is a promising research field in the industry of nanosystems. In this study, atomic force microscopy (AFM) has been used to evaluate the properties of CdS quantum dots synthesized in the tunnel cavities of R-phycoerythrin, a 290 kDa water-soluble pigment protein responsible for light harvesting in red algae. It has been shown that R-phycoerythrin dissolved in deionized water to a concentration of 50 μg/ml is prone to self-organization into regular spatial structures upon adsorption on the surface of mica, but no such structuring takes place in films prepared from R-phycoerythrin solutions diluted tenfold. In the latter case, protein molecules are deformed, as judged from the analysis of the surface profile. R-phycoerythrin with CdS quantum dots in protein cavities (the concentration of the preparation was (48 μg/ml) loses the self-organization ability and is not deformed upon adsorption on the mica surface. Analysis of AFM images by flicker-noise spectroscopy has shown that incorporation of CdS quantum dots into R-phycoerythrin molecules provides for "smoothing" of the protein surface, with various irregularities being leveled off. Conversely, the irregularity of the protein surface increases when R-phycoerythrin molecules are arranged into three-dimensional branching structures. It is concluded that CdS quantum dots interfere with protein-protein interactions and restrain the conformational mobility of the protein. The anomalously rigid structure of R-phycoerythrin in the presence of CdS is due to its conformational rearrangements during the synthesis of quantum dot.

Abstract
An aggregation test system based on the aggregation of UV-irradiated glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) from rabbit skeletal muscle has been proposed. On the basis of the measurements of the enzyme activity and differential scanning calorimetry data a conclusion has been made that UV radiation results in formation of damaged protein molecules with lower thermostability. It was shown that the order of aggregation rate for UV-irradiated GAPDH with respect to the protein was close to 2. This means that such a test system allows detecting the effect of various agents exclusively on the stage of aggregation of unfolded protein molecules. The influence of α-crystallin and 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) on aggregation of UV-irradiated GAPDH was studied. Despite the fact that HP-β-CD accelerates thermal aggregation of non-irradiated GAPDH, in the case of aggregation of UV-irradiated GAPDH HP-β-CD reveals a purely protective effect.

Abstract
Interaction of the wild type (wt) heat shock protein Hsp27 and its three-dimensional (3D) mutant (mimicking phosphorylation at Ser15, 78, and 82) with rabbit skeletal muscle phosphorylase kinase (PhK) has been studied under crowding conditions modeled by addition of 1 M trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO). According to the data of sedimentation velocity and dynamic light scattering, crowding provokes the formation of large-sized associates of both PhK and Hsp27. Under crowding conditions, small associates of PhK and Hsp27 interact with each other thus leading to dissociation of large homooligomers of each protein. Taking into account high concentrations of PhK in the cell, we speculate that native PhK might modulate the oligomeric state and chaperone-like activity of Hsp27.

Abstract
Thermal denaturation and aggregation of UV-irradiated β(L)-crystallin from eye lenses of steers have been studied. The data on size-exclusion chromatography and SDS-PAGE indicated that UV irradiation of β(L)-crystallin at 10 °С resulted in fragmentation of the protein molecule and formation of cross-linked aggregates. Fluorescence data showed that tryptophan fluorescence in the irradiated protein decreased exponentially with the UV dose. Decrease in tryptophan fluorescence is a result of photochemical destruction, but not of conformational changes of protein, because there is no red shift in the fluorescence maximum. The differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) profiles of the samples of UV-irradiated and wild type β(L)-crystallin were registered. The area under curves, which is proportional to the amount of the native protein, decreased exponentially with increasing the irradiation dose. The shape of the DSC profiles for the samples of UV-irradiated β(L)-crystallin was identical to that for wild type β(L)-crystallin. The DSC data allowed estimating the portion of UV-denatured β(L)-crystallin, which is not registered by DSC, and the portion of the combined fraction consisting of native and UV-damaged molecules retaining the native structure. A conclusion has been made that UV-induced denaturation of β(L)-crystallin follows the one-hit model. The study of the kinetics of thermal aggregation of UV-irradiated β(L)-crystallin at 37 °С using dynamic light scattering showed that the initial stage of aggregation was that of formation of the start aggregates with the hydrodynamic radius of 20 nm. Further sticking of the start aggregates proceeded in the regime of reaction-limited cluster-cluster aggregation. Splitting of the aggregate population into two components occurred above a definite point in time.

Abstract
The study of the kinetics of thermal aggregation of glycogen phosphorylase b (Phb) from rabbit skeletal muscles by dynamic light scattering at 48°C showed that 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) accelerated the aggregation process and induced the formation of the larger protein aggregates. The reason of the accelerating effect of HP-β-CD is destabilization of the protein molecule under action of HP-β-CD. This conclusion was supported by the data on differential scanning calorimetry and the kinetic data on thermal inactivation of Phb. It is assumed that destabilization of the Phb molecule is due to preferential binding of HP-β-CD to intermediates of protein unfolding in comparison with the original native state. The conclusion regarding the ability of the native Phb for binding of HP-β-CD was substantiated by the data on the enzyme inhibition by HP-β-CD. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
We compared thermally induced denaturation and aggregation of two isoforms of the isolated myosin head (myosin subfragment 1, S1) containing different “essential” (or “alkali”) light chains, A1 or A2. We applied differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) to investigate the domain structure of these two S1 isoforms. For this purpose, a special calorimetric approach was developed to analyze the DSC profiles of irreversibly denaturing multidomain proteins. Using this approach, we revealed two calorimetric domains in the S1 molecule, the more thermostable domain denaturing in two steps. Comparing the DSC data with temperature dependences of intrinsic fluorescence parameters and S1 ATPase inactivation, we have identified these two calorimetric domains as motor domain and regulatory domain of the myosin head, the motor domain being more thermostable. Some difference between the two S1 isoforms was only revealed by DSC in thermal denaturation of the regulatory domain. We also applied dynamic light scattering (DLS) to analyze the aggregation of S1 isoforms induced by their thermal denaturation. We have found no appreciable difference between these S1 isoforms in their aggregation properties under ionic strength conditions close to those in the muscle fiber (in the presence of 100 mM KCl). Under these conditions kinetics of this process was independent of protein concentration, and the aggregation rate was limited by irreversible denaturation of the S1 motor domain.

Abstract
Effect of 2-hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HP-beta-CD) on thermal aggregation of creatine kinase from rabbit skeletal muscle (RMCK) at 48 degrees C has been studied using dynamic light scattering. An increase in the duration of the lag period on the kinetic curves of aggregation, registered as an increment of the light scattering intensity in time, has been observed in the presence of HP-beta-CD. It has been shown that the initial parts of the dependences of the hydrodynamic radius (R(h)) of the protein aggregates on time follow the exponential law. The reciprocal value of parameter t(2R) (t(2R) is the time interval over which the R(h) value is doubled) was used to characterize the rate of aggregation. A 10-fold decrease in the 1/t(2R) value was observed in the presence of 76mM HP-beta-CD. Judging from the data on the kinetics of RMCK inactivation and the data on differential scanning calorimetry of RMCK, HP-beta-CD does not affect the rate of RMCK unfolding.

Abstract
Effects of alpha-crystallin and GroEL on the kinetics of thermal aggregation of rabbit muscle glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) have been studied using dynamic light scattering and analytical ultracentrifugation. The analysis of the initial parts of the dependences of the hydrodynamic radius of protein aggregates on time shows that in the presence of alpha-crystallin or GroEL the kinetic regime of GAPDH aggregation is changed from the regime of diffusion-limited cluster-cluster aggregation to the regime of reaction-limited cluster-cluster aggregation, wherein the sticking probability for the colliding particles becomes lower the unity. In contrast to alpha-crystallin, GroEL does not interfere with formation of the start aggregates which include denatured GAPDH molecules. On the basis of the analytical ultracentrifugation data the conclusion has been made that the products of dissociation of GAPDH and alpha-crystallin or GroEL play an important role in the interactions of GAPDH and chaperones at elevated temperatures.
