Enhanced Degradation of Pesticide Dichlorophen by Laccase Immobilized on Nanoporous Materials: A Cytotoxic and Molecular Simulation Investigation.
Bioconjugate Chemistry 2018 April 19
Use of pesticides is usually related to overproduction of crops in order to overcome worldwide demand of food and alimentary safety. Nevertheless, pesticides are environmental persistent molecules, such as the organochlorine pesticides, which are often found in undesired places. In this work, we show that a hybrid nanomaterial (laccase-MSU-F) readily oxidizes the pesticide dichlorophen, reducing its acute genotoxicity and apoptotic effects. In order to predict chronic alterations related to endocrine disruption, we compared the calculated affinity of dichlorophen oxidized subproducts to steroid hormone nuclear receptors (NRs), using molecular simulation methods. We found a reduction in theoretical affinity of subproducts of oxidized dichlorophen for the ligand-binding pocket of NRs (∼5 kcal/mol), likewise of changes in binding modes, that suggests a reduction in binding events (RMSD values < 10 Å).
