Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Biophysics
  • Analytical Chemistry

Background:

  • Complex I (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase) is a crucial enzyme in the electron transport chain.
  • Understanding Complex I function requires robust methods for in vitro analysis.
  • Biomimetic immobilization is key to studying enzyme mechanisms in a native-like environment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate biomimetic immobilization strategies for Complex I.
  • To functionally probe Complex I using surface-enhanced IR absorption spectroscopy (SEIRAS) and cyclic voltammetry (CV).
  • To compare different immobilization techniques for their efficacy.

Main Methods:

  • Immobilization of Complex I on a gold layer using self-assembled monolayers (SAMs).
  • Two SAM-based methods were explored: Ni-NTA affinity for a hexahistidine tag and enzyme affinity for its natural substrate NADH.
  • Experiments included Complex I reconstituted in lipids.
  • Surface-enhanced IR absorption spectroscopy (SEIRAS) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) were employed for functional analysis.

Main Results:

  • Both immobilization strategies (Ni-NTA/His-tag and NADH affinity) proved successful.
  • Electrocatalytic activity of Complex I was maintained after immobilization.
  • Electrically induced infrared difference spectra of Complex I were successfully obtained, indicating functional probing.

Conclusions:

  • Biomimetic immobilization of Complex I is feasible using SAMs with either affinity-based or substrate-based approaches.
  • SEIRAS and CV are powerful techniques for the functional characterization of immobilized Complex I.
  • These methods provide a foundation for detailed mechanistic studies of Complex I and related enzymes.
