▼ The speciation of iron in intact Jurkat cells and their isolated mitochondria was assessed using biophysical methods. [Fe4S4]^(2+) clusters, low-spin (LS) Fe^(II) heme centers, non-heme high-spin (NHHS) FeII species, ferritin-like material and FeIII oxyhydroxide nanoparticles were detected, via M??ssbauer, in intact Jurkat cells and their isolated mitochondria. EPR spectroscopy was used to quantify Fe-containing species in the respiratory complexes. Contributions from heme a, b and c centers were quantified using electronic absorption spectroscopy. Results were collectively assessed to estimate the first ???ironome??? profile of a human cell. The Fe content of Jurkat cells grown on transferrin-bound iron (TBI) and Fe^(III) citrate (FC), and of isolated mitochondria therefrom, was characterized. On average, only 400 ?? 100 Fe???s loaded per ferritin complex, regardless of the medium Fe concentration. The extent of nanoparticle formation scaled nonlinearly with the concentration of FC in the medium. Nanoparticle formation was not strongly correlated with ROS damage. Cells could utilize nanoparticles Fe, converting them into essential Fe forms. Cells grown on galactose rather than glucose respired faster, grew slower, exhibited more ROS damage, and generally contained more nanoparticles. Cells grown with TBI rather than FC contained lower Fe concentrations, more ferritin and fewer nanoparticles. Frataxin-deficient cells contained more nanoparticles than comparable WT cells. Data were analyzed by a chemically-based mathematical model. Fermenting Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells grown with varying [Fe] were also studied. The high-affinity Fe import pathway was active only in Fe-deficient cells. Whether Fe-deficient cells were grown under fermenting or respirofermenting conditions had no effect on Fe content; such cells prioritized their use of Fe to essential forms devoid of nanoparticles and vacuolar Fe. Fermenting cells grown on Fe-sufficient and Fe-overloaded medium contained 400 ??? 450 ??M Fe. In these cells the concentration of nonmitochondrial NHHS Fe^(II) declined 3-fold, relative to in Fe-deficient cells, whereas the concentration of vacuolar NHHS Fe^(III) increased to a limiting cellular concentration of ~ 300 ??M. Isolated mitochondria contained more NHHS Fe^(II) ions and substantial amounts of Fe^(III) nanoparticles. The Fe contents of cells grown with excessive Fe in the medium were similar over a 250-fold change of nutrient Fe levels. Advisors/Committee Members: Lindahl, Paul A (advisor).

▼ Transition metals play essential roles in biological systems, but Fe can also be toxic to cells. In order to maintain this balance between necessity and toxicity mechanisms are employed for regulating and storing intracellular Fe. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, vacuoles are responsible for sequestering, storing, and supplying Fe to the cytosol. Many of the proteins and regulatory pathways involved in Fe trafficking and storage in S. cerevisiae have been identified, but the forms of Fe which are involved in these processes have not been fully characterized. In these studies, biophysical and bioanalytical techniques were used to study intracellular Fe distributions in S. cerevisiae cells and organelles. Ultimately, Fe-containing species were biophysically characterized and absolute Fe concentrations in cells and organelles were quantified. The motivation for these studies stemmed from previous studies which revealed that the majority of the whole-cell Fe is a non-heme, high-spin (NHHS) form of Fe^(3+). This Fe is not localized to the mitochondria. The purpose of these studies was to determine if the vacuoles contained this NHHS Fe^(3+). A large-scale isolation procedure was developed to obtain purified vacuoles from S. cerevisiae and to investigate the Fe in these organelles. M??ssbauer and EPR analysis revealed that the primary form of Fe in vacuoles is a mononuclear, NHHS Fe^(3+) species. A second form of Fe was also observed as superparamagnetic ferric phosphate nanoparticles (NP). By investigating model compounds of Fe and polyphosphate we determined that a shift in vacuolar pH induces the conversion between NHHS Fe^(3+) and NP. These results showed that there are at least two forms of Fe in vacuoles, and that the ratio of these two forms is dependent upon the pH of these organelles. Biophysical analyses of whole cells also revealed the presence of low concentrations of a non-heme, high-spin Fe^(2+) species. The goal of these next projects was to determine if this NHHS Fe^(2+) species was localized to the cytosol. Genetic strains lacking or over-expressing the vacuolar Fe import protein Ccc1p were studied by M??ssbauer spectroscopy (???CCC1 and CCC1-up, respectively). ???CCC1 cells showed low vacuolar Fe (NHHS Fe3+ and NP), and increased NHHS Fe^(2+). We hypothesize that this NHHS Fe^(2+) is cytosolic Fe. We also propose that this NHHS Fe^(2+) is involved in the regulating intracellular Fe levels. CCC1-up cells accumulated more Fe than wild-type (WT) cells, and showed elevated levels of vacuolar Fe (NHHS Fe^(3+) and NP). These cells also accumulated high levels of NHHS Fe^(2+). The CCC1-up cells exhibited an adenine deficient phenotype, where the cells developed a red color during growth. With excess adenine the levels of NHHS Fe^(2+) declined, which indicated that this Fe accumulation was related to adenine deficiency. We conclude that adenine deficiency leads to the accumulation of a sequestered (possibly vacuolar) form of NHHS Fe^(2+). Overall, we have identified two separate pools of NHHS Fe^(2+) in… Advisors/Committee Members: Lindahl, Paul A (advisor).

▼ The organometallic Lewis acid [(η5-C5H5)(CO)2Fe]BF4 reacts with excess dry diethyl ether at low temperatures to form the novel labile complex [(η5-C5H5)(CO)2Fe(OEt2)]BF4 which in turn serves as a precursor in the syntheses of various cationic dicarbonylcyclopentadienyliron complexes. The reactions of [(η5-C5H5)(CO)2Fe(OEt2)]BF4 with various 1-alkylamines, α,ω-diaminoalkanes, N-heterocyclics and heterofunctional amine ligands, as well as olefins, have been investigated. Reactions with 1-alkylamines and α,ω-diaminoalkane ligands lead to a series of novel monuclear and dinuclear complexes of the types [(η5-C5H5)(CO)2FeL]BF4 and [{(η5-C5H5)(CO)2Fe}2(μ-L)](BF4)2, respectively. The reaction of [(η5-C5H5)(CO)2Fe(OEt2)]BF4 with N-heterocyclic ligands such as 1,3,5,7-tetraazaadamantane (HMTA) and 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) give dinuclear complexes [{(η5-C5H5)(CO)2Fe}2(μ-L)](BF4)2 and monuclear complexes [(η5-C5H5)(CO)2FeL]BF4 (L = HMTA, DABCO). Its reaction with 1-methylimidazole (1-meIm) affords only the monuclear complex [(η5-C5H5)(CO)2Fe(1-meIm)]BF4 in which the coordination of 1-methylimidazole is via the sp2-N. The reaction with heterofunctional amine ligands is highly regioselective with the cation [(η5-C5H5)(CO)2Fe]+ showing higher affinity for NH2 than π-bonded, O or CN functionalities. Besides amines, [(η5-C5H5)(CO)2Fe(OEt2)]BF4 reacts with olefins and HCOOH to form complexes of the type [(η5-C5H5)(CO)2Fe(η2-olefin)]BF4 and [{(η5-C5H5)Fe(CO)2}2(μ-OCHO)]BF4, respectively. For comparison of steric and electronic effects, analogous pentamethylcyclopentadienyl amine complexes were synthesized from the THF complex [{η5-C5(CH3)5}(CO)2Fe(THF)]BF4. The reaction of 3-aminoprop-1-ene with the etherate complexes [(η5-C5R5)(CO)2Fe(E)]BF4 (R = H: E= Et2O; R = CH3: E = THF) led to air stable complexes [(η5-C5R5)(CO)2Fe(NH2CH2CHCH2)]BF4 (R = H, CH3), which in turn react with a mole equivalent of the etherate complexes to give dinuclear complexes of the type, [(η5-C5R5)(CO)2Fe(NH2CH2CHCH2)Fe(CO)2(η5-C5R'5)](BF4)2 (R not necessarily equal to R'). They also undergo halogenation to give the chiral dihalopropylamino complexes [(η5-C5R5)(CO)2Fe(NH2CH2CH(X)CH2(X))]BF4 (R=H, CH3; X = Cl, Br). The reaction of the dinuclear complex [{(η5-C5H5)(CO)2Fe}2(NH2CH2CHCH2](BF4)2 with NaI in acetone gives [(η5-C5H5)(CO)2Fe(NH2CH2CHCH2)]I and [(η5-C5H5)Fe(CO)2I]. All these complexes have been fully characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The mass spectra of 1-aminoalkane and diaminoalkane complexes have also been recorded and are discussed. The structures of 16 synthesized compounds have been confirmed by single crystal X-ray crystallography. Most of the amine complexes are water-soluble and some undergo counteranion exchange with sodium tetraphenylborate in both aqueous and organic media to give BPh4- salts.

▼ Almost all living organisms require iron (Fe) to live. Although iron is abundant on earth, aerobic conditions and circumneutral pH restrict it to the 3+ oxidation state, in which it is bound up as insoluble Fe(III) (hydr)oxide minerals (i.e. hematite, goethite), or, in a human host, tightly sequestered by proteins such as transferrin and ferritin. Hence, although a typical cell needs a concentration of ~10-6 M Fe to survive, readily available, soluble Fe is only ~10-18 M. Microbes have responded to this enormous discrepancy by evolving very efficient strategies for iron acquisition, primarily the production and secretion of Fe-chelating siderophores. However, the long-held assumption that siderophores alone deliver mineral Fe to microbes at a rate sufficient to support microbial growth has recently been called into question by abiotic measurements of siderophore-promoted dissolution. This dissertation presents an approach and bioinformatic analyses based on tools from molecular biology, such as knockout mutant and biosensor strains, in conjunction with classic biochemical and physiological assays, to investigate this process in a living system. The versatility of this approach allowed questions in both environmental and biomedical contexts to be addressed. In studies with the common environmental aerobe P. mendocina, it was found that the contribution of siderophores to Fe acquisition from hematite depended strongly on the presence and concentration of other organic ligands common in the soil. Mineral particle size was also shown to be an important parameter, as nanohematite proved to be far more bioavailable to P. mendocina, even supporting robust growth in the absence of siderophores. Of biomedical relevance, ferritin (a protein “cage” with a core of nanomineral ferrihydrite) was shown to be an excellent source of Fe to the pathogen P. aeruginosa regardless of the presence of siderophores. Although close cell-mineral interaction was a requirement for siderophore-independent Fe acquisition from nanohematite by P. mendocina, this was not observed for ferritin and P. aeruginosa. Other possible mechanisms include secreted proteases and reductants. Overall, this work shows that microbial acquisition of Fe from mineral sources is complex, and reveals a variable role for siderophores. Advisors/Committee Members: W.

▼ The kinetics of physical and chemical processes controlling the precipitation of iron oxide minerals in unsaturated media were investigated in this study. The characteristic morphology, mineralogy, and chemistry of iron oxides were also explored. Laboratory column experiments using fine and coarse grades of silica sand were conducted to compare the abiotic and biotic mechanisms governing the formation of Fe(III) oxides in unsaturated porous media. The samples of iron precipitates were analyzed using x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and optical microscopy to identify the mineral and elemental composition of iron oxides. Two sets of iron bands appeared during the course of the experiments. Red oxidized bands (ferrihydrite) were formed at the upper extent of the capillary fringe. Whereas, black bands (magnetite) were formed below the oxidized iron bands. Additional visual observations were made to distinguish between abiotic and biotic origins of iron oxide minerals. A conceptual mechanistic framework for abiotic iron oxide formation was also proposed leading to the development of the kinetic equations for an unsaturated system that was exposed to a source of reduced iron at one end and oxygen at the other end. Finally, a numerical model was developed to investigate abiotic iron oxide formation with time at a particular location within an unsaturated porous media under different scenarios. These scenarios could include the use of different media, different unsaturation conditions and different time scales. This study reveals that abiotic iron oxide formation in unsaturated media is mainly a diffusion controlled mechanism. The location of iron oxide precipitation is regulated by the diffusion rates of Fe(II) (aq) and O₂ (g) and thus elucidates the importance of air-water and water-mineral interface properties and diffusive gradients on iron transformations in natural systems. These results can be implied to explain the formation of Fe (III) oxide cemented bands under hydrological processes and time scale in systems representative of natural environments.

▼ High nutrient, low chlorophyll (HNLC) regions, where the availability of iron (Fe) limits primary production, comprise approximately 40% of the global ocean. Variability in Fe supply to these regions has the potential to impact Earth's climate by affecting the efficiency of the biological carbon pump, and thereby carbon dioxide uptake by the oceans. Characterizing Fe sources to HNLC regions is thus crucial for a better understanding of the connections and feedbacks between the ocean and climate change. This work addresses the question of Fe supply to two HNLC regions: the Southern Ocean and the subarctic northeast (NE) Pacific Ocean. In both regions, dissolved Fe (dFe) and the reduced form of iron, Fe(II), were measured in the water column. In the Southern Ocean, measurements were undertaken under the seasonal pack ice in the East Antarctic south of Australia. The results indicate that the sea ice represents a significant dFe source for the under-ice water column in spring, and that the Fe delivered from brine drainage and sea ice-melt likely contributes to the formation of the spring bloom at the ice edge. Shelf sediments were also found to supply dFe to the water column. Their effect was most pronounced near the shelf break and at depth, but offshore transport of Fe-enriched waters was also implicated. Fe(II) concentrations in spring were very low, most likely due to a lack of electron donors in the water column and limited solar radiation underneath the sea ice. Repeat measurements along a transect in the subarctic NE Pacific indicate that shelf sediments supply dFe and Fe(II) at depth, but their influence does not appear to extend offshore beyond several hundred kilometres. Episodic events such as the passage of sub-mesoscale eddies may transport subsurface waters a limited distance from the shelf break, supplying Fe(II) in a depth range where upwelling and deep mixing could bring it to the surface. Offshore, dFe shows little variability except in June 2012, where an aerosol deposition event is suspected to have increased dFe concentrations at depth. Fe(II) concentrations offshore are generally low, but show transient maxima at depth that likely result from remineralization processes in the oxygen deficient zone that stretches from ~600 to 1400 m depth in the subarctic NE Pacific. Elevated Fe(II) concentrations at depth were also observed in conjunction with the aerosol deposition event, which might indicate Fe(II) production associated with settling particles. However, the aerosol deposition event, which most likely stemmed from forest fires in Siberia, did not appear to trigger a phytoplankton bloom in surface waters, possibly due to a lack of Fe fertilization from the deposited material, or due to toxic effects on the resident phytoplankton community. Dust deposition from the atmosphere is considered a major Fe supply mechanism to remote HNLC regions, but the factors affecting Fe solubility of dust are poorly constrained. A laboratory experiment was conducted to test whether the presence of… Advisors/Committee Members: Cullen, Jay T. (supervisor).

▼ Iron is essential in nearly all organisms. It is a cofactor in many proteins and enzymes. This transition metal can also be toxic because it participates in reactions which produce reactive oxygen species. To avoid these toxic effects while still being used for essential processes, the cell must regulate tightly iron import, metabolism, trafficking, and homeostasis. These processes were studied using biophysical methods centered on Mossbauer spectroscopy supplemented by electron paramagnetic resonance, electronic absorption spectroscopy, and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. This integrated biophysical approach was applied to yeast cells, isolated yeast mitochondria, and mouse brains. We determined the concentration of Fe, and the proportion of that Fe present as iron-sulfur clusters, heme centers, mononuclear nonheme centers, and as Fe3+ oxyhydroxide (phosphate) nanoparticles for each system. In yeast, the dependence of metabolic mode of growth and iron in the growth medium on this distribution was studied. Approximately three-quarters of the iron in fermenting cells was located in vacuoles, where it was present as high-spin mononuclear Fe3+ species with rhombic symmetry. The remaining quarter was present in the mitochondria. In fermenting mitochondria 4 distinct species of iron were observed, including [Fe4S4]2+ clusters and low-spin Fe2+ hemes arising from respiratory complexes, non-heme high spin (NHHS) Fe2+ species, high spin nonheme Fe3+ species, and nanoparticles. These distributions (in both the cells and mitochondria) change when the cells are grown on iron deficient medium but remained relatively unaltered as iron in the growth medium was increased. Respiring cells had less Fe associated with vacuoles, and more Fe present as HS Fe2+. Respiring mitochondria contain more [Fe4S4]2+ clusters and low-spin Fe2+ hemes, more S = 1/2 [Fe2S2]1+ clusters, and less NHHS Fe2+, HS Fe3+ species and Fe3+ nanoparticles. These changes were rationalized by assuming that the NHHS Fe2+ and Fe3+ species, and the nanoparticles were in equilibrium within the matrix of the mitochondria, and that the Fe2+ species served as feedstock for the synthesis of iron-sulfur clusters and heme centers. The iron in the mouse brain consisted mostly of [Fe4S4]2+ clusters and Fe2+ hemes from mitochondria respiratory complexes, and of ferritin, an Fe storage protein complex. NHHS Fe2+ and Fe3+ species were also observed. The ratio of stored Fe to mitochondrial Fe was sensitive to age. The brains of prenatal animals were dominated by ferritin. Following birth up to the first 4 weeks of life, there was an increase in mitochondrial Fe and a decline of ferritin Fe. Beyond 4 weeks up to 58 weeks, levels of ferritin increased and mitochondrial Fe remained constant. The brains of mice fed an Fe-deficient diet were also studied; most of the Fe in these brains was present as mitochondrial Fe, with little stored as ferritin. A model was developed to explain these changes. Advisors/Committee Members: Lindahl, Paul A. (advisor), Cremer, Paul S. (committee member), Raushel, Frank M. (committee member), Hilty, Christian B.

▼ The role of iron in the body is well known for it is a component of hemoglobin, myoglobin, cytochrome, enzyme catalase and peroxidase. Iron deficiency anemia is widespread among vulnerable groups in industrialized societies and in the general population of tropical developing areas. In the United States there are ten million women with no iron reserves to meet the physiological needs of menstruation and pregnancy. The normal diet has five times the total amount of needed to maintain iron balance but, unfortunately, less than ten percent is absorbed. The absorption of iron has been increased by combining it with reducing agents such as ascorbic acid. Also it was found that protein uptake is necessary for adequate iron absorption. Increase in absorption was noted when iron was combined with chelating agents. It was suggested that these chelating agents bind iron strongly, forming a stable ring complex which seems to be necessary to maintain it in a soluble and permeable form. The purpose of this thesis research was to determine the effect of amino acids on iron absorption. The amino acids were glycine, 1. proline, d.1. tryptophan, 1. asparagine, d.1. alanine, d.1. phenylalanine, d.1. leucine, serine, d.1. methionine, and 1. isoleucine. Ferrous sulphate was combined with each of the amino acids in a molar ratio of 1:2. Iron-59 was used as a tracer. At various time periods after oral administration to rats, blood samples were collected from the rats' toes. At the end of four hours, the animals were sacrificed and liver, kidney, muscle, heart and brain samples were taken from the animals. All blood and organ samples were counted using a solid scintillation counter. All amino acids increased iron absorption, but the increase was most notable in asparagine, and then glycine. No correlation was found between stability constants of iron with amino acids and initial rate of absorption or area under the curve. In the organs, iron was found mostly in the liver. Lesser amounts were found in the heart and kidney, and very small amounts in the muscle and brain. Glycine - iron and control tablets were prepared using the direct compression method. Glycine was chosen rather than asparagine because it is much cheaper. These tablets were activated in the OSU TRIGA Reactor for four hours with a neutron flux of 3x10¹² neutron/cm² /sec. These tablets were administered to groups of four rabbits. Blood samples were collected from their ears using the same sampling times as for rats. At the end of four hours the animals were sacrificed and organ samples were taken from the animals. All these samples were counted as before. Results were analyzed using PROPHET¹ and show that iron is absorbed much better when administered with glycine than when administered alone. Advisors/Committee Members: Ayres, James W. (advisor).

M.Sc.

Bracketing the depositional age of the Gamagara/Mapedi to Lucknow and Olifantshoek succession in Griqualand West is important because it not only represents one of the oldest known red bed successions in the world but also hosts some of the first well preserved lateritic soil profiles and carbonates with heavy 13C values traditionally correlated with the so-called Lomagundi carbonate carbon excursion. In addition the ancient supergene very large high-grade hematite iron ore deposits of the Sishen-Postmasburg area on the Maremane dome are associated with the erosional unconformity at the base of the Gamagara Formation (a lateral equivalent of the Mapedi Formation). However, the depositional age of especially the Gamagara/Mapedi to Lucknow succession is under dispute because it has been considered a) correlative to the lower part of the Waterberg Group in the Transvaal area, with the implication that it is younger than the Bushveld Complex with an age of ~2,054 Ga, and b) correlative to the Dwaalheuwel-Magaliesberg succession of the pre-Bushveld Pretoria Group of the Transvaal Supergroup in the Transvaal area. The upper age limit of the Gamagara/Mapedi to Lucknow succession is defined by 1,92 Ga felsic volcanics in the overlying Neylan-Hartley succession of the Olifantshoek Group. The Hartley Lava Formation is overlain by Volop quartzites. This study involves age determinations of detrital zircon populations extracted from the basal Doornfontein conglomerate member of the Gamagara/Mapedi succession, and quartzites of the Gamagara/Mapedi, Lucknow, Neylan, Hartley and Volop Formations at various localities in Griqualand West. Based on field work, three unconformity-bound sequences are defined, namely the Gamagara/Mapedi-Lucknow, Neylan-Hartley and Volop sequences. Most interestingly quartzites of the Gamagara/Mapedi-Lucknow sequence contain abundant zircons with ages similar to that of the Bushveld Complex at ~2,054-2,06 Ga in addition to zircons as young as ~1,98-2,01 Ga. An exception is results on one sample of the Doornfontein Member analyzed so far (it is from the Rooinekke iron ore mine south of Postmasburg) that contains only zircons that are older than the Bushveld Complex with a rather prominent youngest population bracketed between 2,2 Ga and 2,32 Ga. The youngest detrital zircon populations in the Neylan-Hartley sequence are either slightly older than the Hartley lava or contain zircons with similar age to Hartley felsic lavas at 1,92 Ga. This sequence thus appears to have developed immediately prior to and coeval with Hartley volcanism. The overlying Volop sequence contains abundant zircons as young as ~1,89 Ga. The results clearly illustrate that the Gamagara/Mapedi to Lucknow succession is certainly not a lateral correlative of the pre-Bushveld Dwaalheuwel-Magaliesberg succession of the Pretoria Group. Rather it should be considered time-equivalent lower parts of the Waterberg Group in the Transvaal area. This implies that the heavy carbonate carbon excursion known from the Lucknow Formation is at…

▼ Theranostics is the ability to diagnose with greater detail to disease properties and tailor specialized therapeutic regiments to a patient's unique case. Advancements in nanoparticle synthesis for controlled material properties and further functionalization make the nano-scale materials promising candidates as a theranostic platform for predictive medicine, early detection, targeted therapy, and diagnostic monitoring. Here we examine iron oxide, gold-silver alloy, and gold-iron oxide dumbbell-like heterostructure nanoparticles for their combined diagnostic and therapeutic application. Iron oxide nanoparticles are used clinically as MRI contrast agents and also provide a platform for functionalization and further application of their magnetic properties. We examine the targeting of iron oxide to tumor vasculature using the tumstatin peptide in a three-dimensional in vitro tumor model and observe the therapeutic heating abilities in an alternating magnetic field. Surface enhanced fluorescence from nano-sized metal materials occurs through near-field coupling of the local electromagnetic field. We focus on controlling the surface plasmon resonance of AuAg alloy nanoparticles (AuAgNP) with a tunable method for transferring energy with fluorescent proteins. We examine the synthesis, surface modification, and localization of AuAgNPs to protein targets. We use fluorescein isothiocyanate as a model fluorophore to measure optimal energy transfer conditions. We examine green fluorescent protein as a target protein fluorophore for the protein model. Determination of alloy content, distance control, and targeting abilities for enhanced fluorescence can optimize current fluorescence imaging techniques and quantitative assays with greater sensitivity. Advanced hetero-structure nanoparticles offer added material properties and chemical functionalization over single component nanoparticles. We examine the controlled diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities of the dumbbell-like hetero-structure of gold-iron oxide nanoparticles for targeted in vivo pancreatic cancer MRI enhancement.

▼ This dissertation studies the formation kinetics and thermodynamics of secondary Fe(II) precipitates during aqueous Fe(II) sorption onto Al and/or Si containing minerals under various lab-based anoxic model systems. In Chapter 2, sorption of Fe(II) in anoxic aqueous suspensions of γ-Al2O3, smectitic clay and amorphous silica was studied under various pH values. In Chapter 3 and 4, the impacts of As and organic compounds on Fe(II) sorption kinetics and mechanisms onto γ-Al2O3 and/or clay were investigated at pH 7.5. Uv-Vis spectroscopy and ICP-OES were employed to determine the aqueous concentrations of Fe, As and Si in the supernatants sampled during the macroscopic batch experiments, while the XAS was applied to characterize the solid-phase Fe and As sorption products. The Fe(II)-Al(III)-LDH formed at pH ≥ 7.0 during Fe(II) sorption onto γ-Al2O3, and at pH 7.0 and 7.5 during Fe(II) sorption onto clay. The poorly crystalline trioctahedral Fe(II)-phyllosilicates formed at pH ≥ 7.5 during Fe(II) sorption onto amorphous silica, and at pH 8.0 during Fe(II) sorption onto clay. Greater sorption rate and extent were observed with increasing pH. Significantly slower Fe(II) sorption kinetics in clay systems compared to γ-Al2O3 and SiO2 is due to the relatively low dissolution of substrate-derived Al and Si. While As(III) did not interfere with the Fe(II)-Al(III)-LDH formation and Fe(II) sorption kinetics onto γ-Al2O3 at pH 7.5, the presence of As(V) slowed down the Fe(II)-Al(III)-LDH formation at low As(V) concentrations, and fully shut it down at high As(V) concentrations, leading to the formation of Fe(II) surface complexes instead. The inhibitive effects of As(V) is attributed to the interference of adsorbed As(V) with the Al needed for Fe(II)-Al(III)-LDH formation. On the other hand, the presence of Fe(II) did not affect the sorption kinetics and mechanisms of As(III) onto γ-Al2O3, however enhanced As(V) sorption rate and extent and did not change the As(V) adsorption mode onto γ-Al2O3. The presence of humic substances (HS) generally hindered the formation of Fe(II)-Al(III)-LDH during Fe(II) sorption onto γ-Al2O3 and clay substrates at pH 7.5. In Fe(II) reacted γ-Al2O3 systems, HS slowed down the formation kinetics of Fe(II)-Al(III)-LDH precipitate. Larger inhibitive impacts of HS were observed when it cosorbed with Fe(II) onto γ-Al2O3 than when it pre-coated onto γ-Al2O3 before Fe(II) sorption. In Fe(II) reacted clay systems, humic acid (HA) coating on clay primarily altered the main Fe(II) sorption product from Fe(II)-Al(III)-LDH into poorly crystalline Fe(II)-phyllosilicate. The effects of HS on Fe(II) sorption onto mineral sorbents were associated with Al dissolution capability from mineral substrates, HS formation of organo-Al complexes and HS masking on mineral surfaces limiting the Al and/or Si needed to form secondary Fe(II) precipitates. The results from this work suggest substantial complexity in the composition and structure of Fe(II) sorption products, and the occurrence of which may represent… Advisors/Committee Members: Elzinga, Evert (chair), Rouff, Ashaki (internal member), Yee, Nathan (internal member), Axe, Lisa (outside member).

▼ The thesis investigates the development of ironworking industries in the Aegean and Cyprus during the Early Iron Age, covering the crucial years from the twelfth to the ninth centuries BCE. It advocates for a move away from pan-Mediterranean models that rely on a centre of 'innovation' from which the technology radiated to new regions via itinerant craftsmen. It argues instead for the development of models based on region-specific cultural and economic factors that influenced iron production and use. This comparative method reveals that the iron industries of the Aegean and Cyprus developed along separate trajectories. This thesis shows that iron objects were locally produced in the Mycenaean sphere during the Late Bronze Age. The Aegean did not depend on itinerant craftsmen from Cyprus to stimulate ironworking, but it was instead a local tradition that continued through the end of the palatial period in the Peloponnese. Iron spread throughout the Aegean in the ensuing century, with each region adapting objects to iron according to how it was valued. In the Peloponnese, iron was suitable for practical implements immediately, while Attica, Crete, Euboea, and the islands emphasised a high value ornamental purpose in mortuary display. By the 10th century, the standardisation of burial rituals during the Protogeometric integrated iron into general use across the Aegean. It became a widely produced, moderately valued metal for daily use implements like tools, as well as a regular part of mortuary display. In Cyprus, ironworking sprang up rapidly across the island, and without a Bronze Age tradition. It began as part of a package that included the arrival of Urnfield-type goods from the Aegean, iron being the more appropriate than bronze for items such as knives, daggers, fibulae, obeloi. Iron was applied in two spheres immediately, to tools of practical use and to high value mortuary display items. Local production due to the lack of ore sources in favour for a copper-smelting by-product method remains debatable, but Cypriot smiths were capable of mass-producing a series of knives. The iron industry did not disrupt but developed alongside the Early Iron Age investments made in the copper industry.

▼ Maternal and child undernutrition are a significant problem in the developing world, with serious consequences for human health and socio-economic development. In Cambodia, 55% of children, 43% of women of reproductive age, and 50% of pregnant women are anemic. Current prevention and control practices rely on supplementation with iron pills or large-scale food fortification, neither of which are affordable or feasible in rural Cambodia. In the study areas, 97% of women did not meet their daily iron requirements. The current research focuses on the design and evaluation of an innovative iron supplementation technique. A culturally acceptable, inexpensive and lightweight iron ingot was designed to resemble a fish species considered lucky in Khmer culture. The ingot, referred to as ‘try sabay’ or ‘happy fish’, was designed to supply iron at a slow, steady rate. Iron leaching was observed in water and soup samples prepared with the iron fish when used concurrently with an acidifier. More than 75% of daily iron requirements can be met with regular use. Its use in the common pot of soup or boiled water provides supplementation to the entire family. The effectiveness of the iron fish was investigated in a randomized community trial involving 310 women in rural Cambodia. Blood samples were taken at baseline and every three months thereafter, over a 12-month trial period. Significant increases in hemoglobin concentrations were observed in women allocated an iron fish when compared to controls throughout the study, with an endline difference of 11.6 g/L. Significant improvements in serum ferritin concentration were observed at 9 months (6.9 ng/mL) and endline (30.8 ng/mL) in women who used an iron fish regularly when compared to the control group. Overall, use of the iron fish led to a two-fold reduction in the prevalence of anemia. The supplement was used daily by 94% of the households at the end of the trial. The study highlights the acceptability and effectiveness of a fish-shaped iron ingot as a means of improving dietary iron content. It offers a promising, simple solution to iron deficiency anemia if the project can be scaled-up for use throughout the country. Advisors/Committee Members: Summerlee, Alastair, Dewey, Cate.

▼ Nonheme iron enzymes are prevalent throughout nature and utilize oxygen as the oxidant. While some intermediates are proposed, such as iron(IV)-oxo and iron(III)-peroxo species, the nature of the reactivity of these species has not yet been fully explored. Nonheme synthetic iron model complexes allow for easy modification to probe the reactivity of such species, and allow for characterization for later comparison with enzymes. This dissertation explores the reactivity of iron(IV)-oxo species supported by a tetramethycyclam framework. Interesting, in contrast to what had been reported previously, the electron-donating properties of the axial ligand do not correspond to the hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) reactivity, while a consistent trend for oxygen atom transfer (OAT) is observed. Ligand tethering is found to have a large impact on the enthalpy of activation. It is proposed that the iron(IV)-oxo moiety rises out of the plane to react, which forces tethered ligands to weaken the axial bond. The activation of oxygen by synthetic iron complexes, in the presence of either a hydrogen atom donor or an acid and a proton source, has been proposed to mimic enzymatic activity. However, the reexamination of mechanisms previously reported to follow an enzyme-mimicking pathway are instead due to peroxyl radicals. This highlights the importance of testing such mechanisms, as autooxidation is a common problem with many compounds in the presence of dioxygen. Finally, species such as iron(IV)-oxo and iron(III)-peroxo complexes, as well as related complexes, are characterized by resonance Raman spectroscopy. Many of these complexes have a ligand with a carboxylate moiety, as seen in nonheme enzymes. Characterization of these complexes show similarities between iron(IV)-oxo and iron(III)-peroxo and chromium(IV)-peroxo species reported previously, having similar vibration values, while major differences exist in vibrations between previously reported iodosylarene-iron(III) complexes and new iodosylarene-iron(III) complexes.

▼ Background: Childhood cancer survivors receiving multiple packed red blood cell (PRBC) transfusions may be at increased risk for iron deposition in vital organs such as the heart, thereby increasing risk of serious late effects due to organ dysfunction with associated symptoms, which may diminish their health-related quality of life (HRQOL). ❧ Purpose: To determine the prevalence, distribution and severity of transfusional iron deposition in heart, liver and pancreas among a cohort of childhood cancer survivors, and to characterize the prevalence, distribution and severity of cardiac dysfunction and pathological remodeling among a cohort of childhood cancer survivors; to assess HRQOL using validated patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures in a cohort of childhood cancer survivors. ❧ Methods: Design: single institution cross-sectional study of childhood cancer survivor cohort. Organ tissue iron was quantified by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Iron status by serum markers and hemachromatosis gene mutation status were assessed, as were cardiac biomarkers. Study subjects participated in a structured interview during which they (and their parent/guardian, if available), completed the validated PRO measures of HRQOL and fatigue in English or Spanish; a brief Cardiac Health Form was also completed. In addition to data acquired from laboratory and MRI evaluations obtained for this study, disease/treatment and demographic information was abstracted from medical records. Data analysis included descriptive approaches for data summarization and regression modeling for estimation and testing. ❧ Results: Seventy-five patients were enrolled (median age 14 years, range 8-25.6 years at evaluation); slightly more than half were male (40/75) and most were Hispanic/Latino (45/75). Median follow up time was 4.2 years. Cancer diagnoses included ALL/AML (n=33) and solid tumors (n=42). Sixty-seven patients had received PRBC transfusions (median=11, range=1-47), with median cumulative PRBC transfusion volume (cPRBCv) of 2727 mL (range, 300-14224 mL), and median cPRBCv adjusted for body weight of 90.6 mL/kg (range, 3.6-391.9). Forty-eight (64%) study participants had received anthracycline chemotherapy as part of their treatment plan, with a median dose of 293mg/m² (range, 50-739mg/m²). Study 1: Based on liver R2* (n=73) and cardiac T2* (n=74), tissue iron concentration (mean, median, range in mg/g) was calculated for liver (2.6, 1.2, 0.9-23.7) and heart (0.7, 0.6, 0.5-0.9). No iron calibration exists for pancreas; pancreas R2* results (mean, median, range in Hz) were 30.2, 26, 18-128 (n=72). Liver iron concentration (LIC) was elevated in 36 (58.9%) patients and pancreas R2* was abnormal in 34 (47.2%) patients, respectively. No abnormal cardiac iron concentrations were observed. Statistically significant correlations between liver R2* and pancreatic R2* were found. Both hepatic and pancreatic R2* were significantly positively correlated with serum iron, iron binding capacity, serum ferritin, and cRBCv.

▼ Iron oxyhydroxides are ubiquitous in surface environments, playing a key role in many biogeochemical processes. Their characterization is made challenging by their nanophase nature. Magnetometry serves as a sensitive non-destructive characterization technique that can elucidate intrinsic physical properties, taking advantage of the superparamagnetic behaviour that nanoparticles may exhibit. In this work, synthetic analogues of common iron oxyhydroxide minerals (ferrihydrite, goethite, lepidocrocite, schwertmannite and akaganéite) are characterized using DC and AC magnetometry (cryogenic, room temperature), along with complementary analyses from Mössbauer spectroscopy (cryogenic, room temperature), powder X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. It was found that all of the iron oxyhydroxide mineral nanoparticles, including lepidocrocite, schwertmannite and akaganéite were superparamagnetic and therefore magnetically ordered at room temperature. Previous estimates of Néel temperatures for these three minerals are relatively low and are understood as misinterpreted magnetic blocking temperatures. This has important implications in environmental geoscience due to this mineral group’s potential as magnetic remanence carriers. Analysis of the data enabled the extraction of the intrinsic physical parameters of the nanoparticles, including magnetic sizes. The study also showed the possible effect on these parameters of crystal-chemical variations, due to elemental structural incorporation, providing a nanoscale mineralogical characterization of these iron oxyhydroxides. The analysis of the intrinsic parameters showed that all of the iron oxyhydroxide mineral nanoparticles considered here have a common magnetic moment formation mechanism associated with a random spatial distribution of iv uncompensated magnetic spins, and with different degrees of structural disorder and compositional stoichiometry variability, which give rise to relatively large intrinsic magnetization values. The elucidation of the magnetic nanostructure also contributes to the study of the surface region of the nanoparticles, which affects the particles’ reactivity in the environment.

▼ Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are a class of persistent organic pollutants present in the environment that pose a threat to human health. PFASs primarily reside within aqueous phases and are present in groundwater environments. Perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) are the most predominant PFASs. Remediation techniques focus on oxidation and sorption methods, both of which lack efficacy for all PFASs. There are few studies on reduction treatments such as zerovalent iron (ZVI), which demonstrate potential for both PFOS and PFOA removal and can be applied in subsurface environments. This thesis describes laboratory batch experiments that evaluate PFOS and PFOA removal in the presence of ZVI under a range of physical and geochemical conditions. Mechanisms of removal are explored utilizing PFAS mass balances based on a series of analyses that include aqueous phase fluoride and PFAS short chains, and PFAS extractions from the iron surface. Solid iron phase characterization provides supporting information regarding PFAS interaction with the iron surface. Laboratory batch experiments with PFOS in the presence of granular ZVI were conducted under combinations of initial pH (pH 2.0 and 6.6), temperature (~22°C and 60°C) and ZVI dosage (179 and 1792 mM). PFOS removal was enhanced under low initial pH likely due to a greater abundance of iron oxides compared to higher pH conditions. Higher temperatures also enhanced PFOS removal. PFOS removal by sorption generally increased under low pH and high ZVI dosed conditions, suggesting the abundance of iron oxides and surface area may play an important role. Laboratory batch experiments of PFOS and PFOA in the presence of zerovalent iron nanoparticles (nZVI) were conducted under combinations of initial pH (pH 2.0 and 8.3) and coating (uncoated and palladium-coated). The iron phase likely changed over time, as there was some release of PFOS and PFOA into aqueous solution compared to earlier sampling times. The presence of a palladium coating appeared to minimize the effects of iron corrosion, as PFOS and PFOA were released to a lesser degree at later time points compared to uncoated nZVI. PFOS and PFOA removal is likely dominated by electrostatic interaction, however functional group interaction with the iron surface may also play an important role.

▼ A classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulation has been used to investigate the adsorption and tribological performance of hydrocarbon lubricant between different iron and iron oxide surfaces. A realistic all-atom model of alkane was employed using the COMPASS force field (FF) while the relaxed surfaces and an effective force field for interactions between surface and lubricant were obtained from ab-initio calculations. A comparative analysis of adsorption of six n-alkanes (C_nH_2n+2, n = 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16) on Fe(110), FeO(110), and Fe₂O₃(0001) and thin film lubrication of hexadecane between Fe(100), Fe(110), Fe(111), FeO(100), FeO(110), FeO(111), Fe₂O₃(001), and Fe₂O₃(012) surfaces has been carried out. A quantitative surface parameterization was introduced to investigate the influence of surface properties such as crystalline structure, surface corrugation, and crystal plane on the structure, rheological properties, and tribological performance of the n-alkanes. The effects of working conditions such as loading pressure, shear rate, and temperature are also considered. The results show that alkane molecules orient randomly on Fe(110) and Fe₂O₃(0001) surfaces but they preferentially orient in (010) direction on FeO(110) at low temperature. Additionally, alkanes adsorb physically on iron oxides, in the following decreasing order Fe(110) > FeO(110) > Fe₂O₃(0001). The adsorption energies per saturated carbon site decrease with an increase of molecular chain length and this propensity is similar for different surfaces. In contrast, the saturated carbon density is insensitive to the surface potentials and shows an increasing trend for short alkane chains but it remains steady for longer chains. Although the wallfluid attraction of hexadecane on pure iron surfaces is significantly stronger than its oxides, there is a considerable reduction of shear stress of confined n-hexadecane film between Fe(100), and Fe(110) surfaces compared with FeO(110), FeO(111), Fe₂O₃(001), and Fe₂O₃(012). It was found that, in thin film lubrication of hexadecane between smooth iron and iron oxide surfaces, the atomic roughness plays a role more important than the wall-fluid adhesion strength.

▼ Context: Iron deficiency is a concern in distance runners due to the implications that hemoglobin production becomes impaired limiting oxygen uptake and tissue oxidation in the body. Ferritin is a biomarker used to diagnose iron deficiency. The related signs and symptoms of iron deficiency are associated with decreased performance and prolonged recovery. Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the change in ferritin levels affect measures of performance, measures of recovery, and rate of perceived exertion in female endurance runners. Design: The study was a descriptive longitudinal study. Setting: The study was conducted at a Mid-Atlantic Division I university. Patients or Other Participants: The participants in this study were distance runners on the active track and field roster at a Mid-Atlantic Division I university. Inclusion criteria was any active distance runner on the university women’s Cross Country/Track & Field team. Exclusion criteria was any injury resulting in greater than six months from training in the previous two years. Interventions: All participants completed the self-reported demographic questionnaire to determine participation eligibility, injury history, and iron supplementation history. Each participant completed a post-race questionnaire following each race competed to self-report measures related to performance and recovery. Results of ferritin levels and race times were obtained from existing data. Main Outcome Measures: The dependent variables were ferritin concentrations and the post-race questionnaire scores of RPE, sleep, dietary, hydration, and stress. Results: Ferritin levels were found to decrease in both freshman and upperclassman groups from the previous six and eighteen months of testing, respectively. Ferritin levels preseason and postseason were 50.33±17.94 and 46.33±17.75, respectively, with no significance in change F_1,8 = 1.767, p=0.220. Partial correlations indicated moderate relationships between ferritin levels and feeling ill or injured (r=0.42, p=0.002), hours of sleep the previous three nights (r=0.315, p=0.021), and rate of perceived exertion (r=0.407, p=0.002). Conclusions: Ferritin can be a valuable tool in determining iron status in the body and is associated with several measures of recovery. Regular ferritin testing with other hematological markers provide a comprehensive analysis of factors that influence levels of aerobic capacity. Difference in iron stores have a significant relationship with measures of recovery, thus additional studies should be conducted to further investigate the importance of ferritin levels and confirm the findings of this study.

▼ Iron-sulfur (Fe-S) clusters are one of the most ancient, ubiquitous and functionally versatile prosthetic groups in nature. Based on the organization of genes in bacterial operons, three highly conserved types of machinery for the biogenesis of Fe-S clusters have emerged, namely the NIF (Nitrogen Fixation), the ISC (Iron-Sulfur Cluster) and the SUF (Sulfur Mobilization) systems. However, recent studies have implicated roles in Fe-S cluster biogenesis for accessory proteins such as glutaredoxins and thioredoxin-like Nfu proteins that are not encoded by genes in nif, isc, or suf operons. This research project was designed to elucidate the role of dithiol and monothiol glutaredoxins and thioredoxin-like Nfu proteins in Fe-S cluster biogenesis. The approach involved structural and/or spectroscopic characterization of clusters assembled on plant dithiol and monothiol glutaredoxins and Azotobacter vinelandii NfuA protein coupled with in vitro studies of cluster transfer to physiologically relevant acceptor proteins and in vivo assessment of function via gene knock out or complementation studies. The A. vinelandii 2+ NfuA protein was shown to assemble a subunit-bridging [4Fe-4S]cluster which is capable of activating apo aconitase at physiologically relevant rates. Taken together with in vivo studies, which indicate impaired maturation of Fe-S proteins in strains inactivated for nfuA, the results indicate a role of NfuA as a class of intermediate [Fe-S] cluster carrier proteins in bacteria. Spectroscopic, mutagenesis and crystallographic studies of the cytosolic poplar dithiol glutaredoxin C1 (CGYC active site) have demonstrated that dithiol glutaredoxins can assemble a 2+novel glutathione-ligated [2Fe-2S] cluster at the subunit interface of the homodimer and have established the active-site sequence requirement for Fe-S cluster incorporation. The inability to 2+transfer the [2Fe-2S] clusters to apo forms of acceptor Fe-S proteins suggests that the cluster in dithiol glutaredoxins may play a role in sensing oxidative stress. The chloroplastic poplar monothiol glutaredoxin S14 (CGFS active site) was also shown to assemble a similar 2+glutathione-ligated [2Fe-2S] cluster at the subunit interface of the homodimer. However, in 2+contrast to dithiol glutaredoxins, kinetic studies indicate that the [2Fe-2S] cluster on glutaredoxin S14 is rapidly and stoichiometrically transferred intact to apo Synechocystis ferredoxin, a physiologically relevant acceptor protein. Moreover, in vivo studies showed that glutaredoxin S14 can complement the Fe-S cluster assembly deficiency in yeast mitochondrial monothiol glutaredoxin 5 (CGFS active-site) deletion mutants. These results indicate that monothiol glutaredoxins play a role as scaffold proteins involved in the assembly and/or delivery 2+of [2Fe-2S] clusters in mitochondria and chloroplasts.
