Spectroscopic studies of copper, silver and gold-metallothioneins

Metallothionein is a ubiquitous protein with a wide range of proposed physiological roles, including the transport, storage and detoxification of essential and nonessential trace metals. The amino acid sequence of isoform 2a of rabbit liver metallothionein, the isoform used in our spectroscopic studies, includes 20 cysteinyl groups out of 62 amino acids. Metallothioneins in general represent an impressive chelating agent for a wide range of metals. Structural studies carried out by a number of research groups (using (1)H and (113)Cd NMR, X-ray crystallography, more recently EXAFS, as well as optical spectroscopy) have established that there are three structural motifs for metal binding to mammalian metallothioneins. These three structures are defined by metal to protein stoichiometric ratios, which we believe specifically determine the coordination geometry adopted by the metal in the metal binding site at that metal to protein molar ratio. Tetrahedral geometry is associated with the thiolate coordination of the metals in the M(7)-MT species, for M = Zn(II), Cd(II), and possibly also Hg(II), trigonal coordination is proposed in the M(11-12)-MT species, for M = Ag(I), Cu(I), and possibly also Hg(II), and digonal coordination is proposed for the metal in the M(17-18)-MT species for M = Hg(II), and Ag(I). The M(7)-MT species has been completely characterized for M = Cd(II) and Zn(II). (113)Cd NMR spectroscopic and x-ray crystallographic data show that mammalian Cd(7)-MT and Zn(7)-MT have a two domain structure, with metal-thiolate clusters of the form M(4)(S(cys))(11) (the alpha domain) and M(3)(S(cys))(9) (the beta domain). A similar two domain structure involving Cu(6)(S(cys))(11) (alpha) and Cu(6)(S(cys))(9) (beta) copper-thiolate clusters has been proposed for the Cu(12)-MT species. Copper-, silver- and gold-containing metallothioneins luminesce in the 500-600 nm region from excited triplet, metal-based states that are populated by absorption into the 260-300 nm region of the metal-thiolate charge transfer states. The luminescence spectrum provides a very sensitive probe of the metal-thiolate cluster structures that form when Ag(I), Au(I), and Cu(I) are added to metallothionein. CD spectroscopy has been used in our laboratory to probe the formation of species that exhibit well-defined three-dimensional structures. Saturation of the optical signals during titrations of MT with Cu(I) or Ag(I) clearly show formation of unique metal-thiolate structures at specific metal:protein ratios. However, we have proposed that these M=7, 12 and 18 structures form within a continuum of stoichiometries. Compounds prepared at these specific molar ratios have been examined by X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS) and bond lengths have been determined for the metal-thiolate clusters through the EXAFS technique. The stoichiometric ratio data from the optical experiments and the bond lengths from the XAS experiments are used to propose structures for the metal-thiolate binding site with reference to known inorganic metal-thiolate compounds.

Influence of organophilic clay and preparation methods on EVA/montmorillonite nanocomposites

Ethylene‐vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA)/montmorillonite MMT nanocomposites have been prepared by using different methods: one is from the organophilic montmorillonite (OMT) and the other is from the pristine MMT and reactive compatibilizer hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (C16). In this study, different kneaders were used (twin‐screw extruder and twin‐roll mill) to prepare nanocomposites. The nanocomposite structures are evidenced by the X‐ray diffraction (XRD) and high‐resolution electronic microscope (HREM). The thermal properties of the nanocomposites were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Moreover, the tensile tests were carried out with a Universal testing machine DCS‐5000. It is shown that different methods and organophilic montmorillonite have influence on EVA/MMT nanocomposites.© 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 91: 2416–2421, 2004

Electrode–Ceramic Inter-Diffusion of Ba(Ti,Zr)O3-Based Y5V MLCCs with Ni Electrodes

The Ba(Ti,Zr)O₃-based multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) with Ni electrodes, which meet the Electronic Industry Association Y5V standard (from −30° to 85°C, at a temperature capacitance coefficient between −82% and 22%), have been studied in view of the electrode-ceramic inter-diffusion by several microstructual techniques (scanning electron microscopy/transmission electron microscopy/high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM)) with an energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS). The EDS analysis shows that the elements' inter-diffusion took place along the metal–dielectric interface and the migration of Ni toward the dielectric layers dominated this process. The incorporation of Ni did not transform the crystal structure but introduced lattice distortions, which were characterized by HRTEM, X-ray diffraction, and EDS. The degree of Ni diffusion in the sample with the thinner dielectric layer was more severe. It was concluded from the results that the Ni diffusion is related to the formation of oxygen vacancies after the annealing process, which should be a noticeable factor in the degradation behavior and reliability of base metal electrode MLCCs. The factors influencing the inter-diffusion are also discussed.
