Chromatographic Separation and Mass Spectrometric Analysis of Bacterial Cell Wall Synthesizing Enzyme Complexes

ABSTRACT

Penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) were shown to associate non-covalently with many other morphogene proteins (MGPs). Specific associations were assigned. The PBPs were labeled with spectroscopic/fluorescence (F/S) groups in the form of dansylated β-lactam probes. Competitive β-lactam binding of non-denatured PBP/MGP complexes led to characteristic patterns of F/S labeling by the probes. The salt-bridge specific reagent, ethanedinitrile, covalently linked various MGPs to the F/S labeled PBPs. Proteolysis of chromatographically purified F/S labeled fractions gave sets of peptides analyzed by MALDI-TOF to give MH data. Peptide mass-fingerprinting analysis revealed that covalent linkage occurred with other MGPs and not with non-MGP proteins of ～3400 proteins in the SWISS-PROT r33 data base for E. coli K-12.     

Optically active,mesogenic lanthanide complexes: design,synthesis and characterisation

The synthesis, molecular structural characterisation and mesomorphic behaviour of lanthanidomesogens with the formula [LnL(LH)₂ ][X]₂ are reported. These mesogens were derived from ligands (LH- n ) formed by covalently linking the pro-mesogenic cholesterol segment with the N-(n-decyl)salicylaldimine core through either an even-parity (4-oxybutanoyloxy/6-oxyhexanoyloxy/8-oxyoctanoyloxy) or an odd-parity (5-oxypentano-yloxy) spacer. These ligands were designed based on the recently conceived concept of decoupling the anisometric segment from the metal-coordinating site by a flexible spacer to account for the stabilisation of nematic and/or smectic phases at lower temperatures. The even parity spacer ligands are polymesomorphic whereas the odd parity analogue exhibits only the chiral nematic phase. In contrast, the complexes display solely the smectic A phase indicating that the variation in the nature of lanthanide has no influence on the general phase behaviour of the complexes. The clearing temperatures of both the ligands and the complexes display an odd-even effect; the even members show relatively higher transition temperatures.     

DIRECT SYNTHESIS AND CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF DIIODOETHYLENDIAMINELEAD(II) DIMETHYLSULFOXIDE

Abstract

A direct method of obtaining PbEnI₂.DMSO is reported. The crystal structure of the compound was determined by X-ray techniques. PbEnI₂.DMSO is triclinic, space group P 1, C₄H₁₄I₂N₂PbS, a=10.225(3), b=10.132(3), c=6.900(2) Å; α=90.83(2), β=88.30(2), γ=106.35(4)°; V=685.6(4) ų; z=2, calculated density 2.92 gcm^?3. Neutral PbEnI₂ complexes are associated with DMSO molecules via H-bonds. The lead(II) ion is covalently linked with a chelated En molecule (Pb-N 2.46–2.48 Å) and I^? anions (Pb-I 3.087–3.343 Å). Covalently bonded atoms form an umbrella-like coordination Pb(II) polyhedron. The side containing the lone electron pair of the lead(II) ion has coordination completed by two I^? anions of neighbouring molecules with the Pb-I 3.621–3.627 Å.     

Synthesis and crystal structures of two polymeric silver(I) complexes with polyamines and terephthalic acid

Two polymeric silver(I) complexes, [Ag₄(TAA)₂(TA)₂] · 2[Ag(TA)₂] (I) and [Ag₂(TA)(BA)] _n (II), where TAA is tris(2-aminoethyl)amine, TA is terephthalic acid, BA is butane-1,4-diamine, were synthesized and structurally characterized by elemental analyses and X-ray diffraction. Complex I consists of mononuclear [Ag(TA)₂] units and TA-bridged tetranuclear [Ag₄(TAA)₂(TA)₂] units, which are further linked via Ag…Ag interactions to form chains. In complex II, the silver atoms are linked by the TA and BA groups to form chains, which are further linked via Ag…Ag interactions to form layers. In both complexes, molecules are finally linked through intermolecular hydrogen bonds to form three-dimensional networks.     

Syntheses,structural characterization,and properties of Mn(II) and Cd(II) complexes from 5-[4-(1H-imidazol-1-Yl)phenyl]-1H-tetrazole

Reactions of Mn(II) and Cd(II) salts with 5-(4-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)phenyl)-1H-tetrazole (HL) under hydrothermal conditions result in complexes [Mn(L)₂(H₂O)₄] · 2H₂O (I) and [Cd(L)₂(H₂O)₂] (II), which have been characterized by single crystal and powder X-ray diffractions (CIF files CCDC nos. 943861 (I), 943862 (II)), IR spectroscopy, element and thermogravimetric analyses. Two complexes exhibit structural diversity dependent on different metal salts. Complex I shows discrete mononuclear structure, which can be further linked to build a 3D supramolecular framework through hydrogen bonding interactions. Complex II displays 1D zigzag-chain structure, and an extended 3D framework can be formed by hydrogen bonding. Interestingly, tetranuclear water clusters were generated in I, which can be linked by Mn²⁺ ions to show 1D metal-bridged water cluster-chain structure. The present work provides an example that metal centers impact on coordination modes of ligand and consequent structural variation of resulted complexes. Moreover, fluorescence property of II was investigated.

     

Novel building units with bimetallic rings in inorganic/organic hybrid chains and layers

Hydrothermal synthesis has produced three new compounds constructed from novel building units containing vanadium-oxide (or oxyfluoride) subunits linked together via covalently bound cationic copper complexes. Each new compound exhibits novel structural features: [Cu(dipa)][VOF₄] (1) incorporates a corner-sharing octahedral vanadium(IV) oxyfluoride chain decorated by copper-(2,2′-dipyridyl amine) complexes which form intra-chain bridges. Within a similar reactant system [Cu(dipa)]₂[V₆O₁₇] (2) is produced, the structure of which exhibits edge-sharing trigonal bipyramidal vanadium(V) ‘ladder-like’ double chains which are bridged into layers by tetrahedral pyrovanadate dimers together with the copper-(2,2′-dipyridyl amine) complexes. [Cu(py)₄]₂[V₄O₁₂] (3), is a 2-D structure featuring exclusively tetrahedral vanadium(V) in four-membered ring building blocks, linked through octahedral copper-pyridine complexes to form two crystallographically different bimetallic layers.     

Synthesis and structural characterization of centrosymmetric multinuclear nickel(II) complexes with neutral tetradentate N6-ligand

A neutral tetradentate ligand L1 [L1?=?3,6-bis(pyrazol-1-yl)-pyridazine] reacts with Ni(ClO₄)₂·6H₂O and undergoes counterion exchange with PF ^?₆ to give di- and tetranuclear complexes [Ni₂(L1)₂(CH₃CN)₄](PF₆)₄·4H₂O (1) and [Ni₄(L1)₄(µ-OH)₄](ClO₄)₄·2H₂O (2), respectively. The presence of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) as base controls the nuclearity of the complex formation. Both complexes were structurally characterized by physicochemical and spectroscopic techniques. Their crystal structures revealed that both complexes are centrosymmetric and adopt slightly distorted octahedral geometry. Complex 1 crystallizes in monoclinic space group C2/c as the Ni(II) center is octahedrally bound to L1 in a trans-isomer arrangement. Complex 2 crystallizes in tetragonal space group I4₁/amd with four L1 and four hydroxy bridging ligands linked to Ni(II) center in cis-isomer arrangement. Cyclic voltammograms of complexes 1 and 2 were measured under Ar and CO₂. Under CO₂, the quasireversible peaks of both complexes become irreversible and a current enhancement occurs under reduction.

For complex I, a polymeric structure is obtained, which is linked by coordination of the pyridine N atoms to the Mo atoms of other [MoO₂(L₁)] units. Complex II is a mononuclear molybdenum compound. In both complexes, the Mo atoms are in octahedral coordination. The catalytic properties of the complexes indicate that they are efficient catalysts for sulfoxidation.

Carboxyphenyl Covalent Immobilization of Heme Proteins and its Favorable Biocompatible Electrochemical and Electrocatalytic Characteristics

A novel carboxyphenyl covalent immobilization technique has been successfully developed to realize the effective attachment of two typical heme proteins, hemoglobin (Hb) and cytochrome c (Cyt‐c), onto underlying glassy carbon electrode (GCE). Primarily, the GCE surface is functionalized with aromatic 4‐carboxyphenyl (4‐CP) group by the electrochemical reduction of diazonium cations, producing covalently linked carboxyl‐terminated active GCE surface to work as a ‘bridge’. Then, Hb and Cyt‐c are readily attached to GCE through the ‘bridge’ by functional covalently combination between ? NH₂ terminal groups of proteins and ? COOH terminal groups of 4‐CP, obtaining Hb/4‐CP/GCE and Cyt‐c/4‐CP/GCE. On both electrodes, well‐defined peaks attributing to the Fe^III/Fe^II couple of heme group of Hb and Cyt‐c are clearly observed with the electron transfer rate constant (k_s) evaluated to be 2.48±0.05 s^?1 and 2.73±0.05 s^?1, respectively. It is attractive that the formal potential (E°') of the immobilized Hb and Cyt‐c are estimated to be 50 and 100 mV (vs. SCE), respectively, which are closer to the standard redox potential of native Hb and Cyt‐c in solution, owing to the good biocompatibility of 4‐CP groups. The electrodes also exhibit fast response, high sensitivity and well stability for the amperometric detection of H₂O₂ at a fairly mild potential of 0 V without any mediators, obtaining rather small apparent Michaelis‐Menten constant (K_M^app) values of 113 μM for Hb/4‐CP/GCE and 101 μM for Cyt‐c/4‐CP/GCE. All the experimental results indicated that the covalent graft 4‐carboxyphenyl group plays an important role in constructing a “biocompatible bridge” to help the direct electron transfer of Hb and Cyt‐c with favorable biocompatibility and good bio‐ electrocatalytic affinity in virtue of the substituted aryl group only consisting of C, H and O elements, which is similar with the constitutes of organics. It makes the system of functionalized covalent immobilization of proteins onto carbon electrode a promising platform for fabricating the third‐generation biosensors. A new approach for realizing direct electrochemistry of proteins, as well as design of novel bioelectronic devices has been accordingly provided.

A series of carboxylate-bridged heteronuclear 3d–4f complexes have been prepared by reaction of REL₃ (HL = CH₂ = C(CH₃)COOH) with Cu(NO₃)₂. A family of air-stable 2-D complexes [RECuL₄(H₂O)₄] _n L _n (RE = La (1), Ce (2), Eu (3), and Gd (4)) have the same crystal system (monoclinic) and space group (P2₁/c). The chains which are made by the carboxylate-bridged alternating Cu(II)–RE(III) fragments spreading along the c-axis are linked through hydrogen bonds by uncoordinated carboxylates to form a 2-D network structure along the bc planes. Magnetic measurements showed that 1 and 2 have antiferromagnetic interaction between RE and Cu, but 4 exhibits ferromagnetic interaction. Eu ions show van Vleck behavior in 3.     

Synthesis,crystal structures,and fluorescence properties of two dinuclear cadmium(II) complexes derived from <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-isopropyl-<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>′-(1-pyridin-2-ylethylidene)ethane-1,2-diamine

A new tridentate pyridyl Schiff base, N-isopropyl-N′-(1-pyridin-2-ylethylidene)ethane-1,2-diamine (L), was used to synthesize two dinuclear cadmium(II) complexes, [Cd₂L₂(μ _1,1-N₃)₂(N₃)₂] (1) and [Cd₂L₂(μ _1,3-NCS)₂(NCS)₂] (2). X-ray single crystal structure determination reveals that in both centrosymmetric complexes, the Cd atom is in a distorted octahedral coordination. In the crystal structures of 1 and 2, the dinuclear cadmium(II) complex molecules are linked, respectively, through intermolecular N–H···N and N–H···S hydrogen bonds to form infinite 1D chains. The preliminary fluorescence properties of the complexes were investigated.

Self-assembly of three Cd(II) complexes: 0-D, 1-D,and 3-D structures based on 2-(1H-imidazol-1-methyl)-1 H-benzimidazole

Three new complexes, [Cd(L)I₂]₂ (1), {[Cd(L)I₂]?·?DMF} _n (2), and [Cd₂(L)₄(μ ₂-I)I(H₂O)] _n (3), have been obtained through self-assembly of an unsymmetrical ligand 2-(1H-imidazol-1-methyl)-1H-benzimidazole (L) with Cd(II) salts. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction shows that 1 displays a dimeric structure in which two Cd(II) ions are bridged by two bidentate bridging L. Complex 2 exhibits a 1-D chain structure (···Cd–L–Cd–L···) constructed by L bridging Cd(II) ions. In 3, the Cd(II) ions are five-connected nodes and linked by L and iodide leading to the 3-D network. Complexes 2 and 3 are synthesized maintaining the same solvents and stoichiometric ratio of metal and ligand at different reaction temperature. The different structures of the complexes indicate that the temperature plays a significant role in construction of the complexes. Luminescent properties of 1–3 have been investigated in the solid state at room temperature.
