Popis: Protein–nanoparticle hybrids represent entities characterized by emerging biological properties that can significantly differ from those of the parent components. Herein, bovine serum amine oxidase (i.e., BSAO) was immobilized onto a magnetic nanomaterial constituted of surface active maghemite nanoparticles (i.e., SAMNs, the core), surface-modified with tannic acid (i.e., TA, the shell), to produce a biologically active ternary hybrid (i.e., SAMN@TA@BSAO). In comparison with the native enzyme, the secondary structure of the immobilized BSAO responded to pH variations sensitively, resulting in a shift of its optimum activity from pH 7.2 to 5.0. Conversely, the native enzyme structure was not influenced by pH and its activity was affected at pH 5.0, i.e., in correspondence with the best performances of SAMN@TA@BSAO. Thus, an extensive NMR study was dedicated to the structure–function relationship of native BSAO, confirming that its low activity below pH 6.0 was ascribable to minimal structural modifications not detected by circular dichroism. The generation of cytotoxic products, such as aldehydes and H2O2, by the catalytic activity of SAMN@TA@BSAO on polyamine oxidation is envisaged as smart nanotherapy for tumor cells. The present study supports protein–nanoparticle conjugation as a key for the modulation of biological functions.
