枯草杆菌α-淀粉酶在一些色谱体系中的热力学和超热力学研究

通过测定不同温度范围的热力学平衡常数、焓变、熵变、自由能变和补偿温度,研究了枯草杆菌α-淀粉酶在几种色谱介质上的热力学和超热力学。结果表明,在RP-C18反相介质、Zn2+螯合的Sepharose fast-flow亲和介质和WCX-1阳离子交换介质上,当温度分别在13-30和30-50℃范围时,它们的lnKSL分别随绝对温度的倒数线性变化;而在PEG-400和修饰的PEG-400疏水色谱介质上,当温度分别在13-40和13-30℃范围时,它们的lnKSL分别随绝对温度的倒数线性减小,但当温度分别高于40℃和30℃时,它们则随绝对温度的倒数剧烈减小。通过研究不同温度范围的焓变、熵变、自由能变和α-淀粉酶构象变化之间的关系,发现在RP-C18反相和Zn2+螯合的Sepharose fast-flow亲和介质上在30- 50 ℃温度范围内,在WCX-1阳离子交换介质上在13-30 ℃温度范围内,α-淀粉酶的吸附过程由焓变和熵变共同所支配,而在Zn2+螯合的Sepharose fast-flow亲和介质上在13- 30 ℃温度范围内,在WCX-1阳离子交换介质上在30-50 ℃温度范围和在PEG-400 和修饰的PEG-400疏水色谱介质上在13-65 ℃温度范围时,α-淀粉酶的吸附过程仅仅由熵变所控制。最后,通过α-淀粉酶在这些色谱体系中的补偿温度进一步发现,它们的焓变仅仅只能通过它们构象变化所引起的熵变所补偿。

在不同PHNaCl的磷酸缓冲体系，比较了牛血清蛋白（BSA）、核糖核酸酶（RNase)、细色素C（Cyt-C)和溶菌酶（Lys)在IDA裸柱和一些金属螯合柱上的保留特性，考察了固定金属对蛋白质保留行为的影响，指出蛋白质在强结合IDA－Cu柱上的保留主要受固定金属和蛋白质间配位作用支配，在弱亲和的IDA－Ni,IDA-Co和IDA－Zn柱上的保留主要受静电作用控制，配位作用为辅，讨论了金属螯合亲和色谱中影响蛋白质和金属配位的主要因素，金属离子的电荷和半径，配位原子对中心离子外层d轨道的影响，以及蛋白质表面配位的组氨酸数目，离解常数和取向，影响金属螯合配体和蛋白质静电作用的主要因素为溶液的PH和蛋白质的等电点pI.     

HPHIC固定相对脲变α-糜蛋白酶复性的影响

依据计量置换保留理论所得到的参数lgI, 来测定不同构象态α-糜蛋白酶(α-Chy)在两种不同高效疏水相互作用色谱(HPHIC)固定相表面的折叠自由能, 发现脲变α-Chy在HPHIC固定相表面获取的折叠自由能比溶液中的高很多, 不同HPHIC固定相表面为脲变α-Chy提供不同的折叠自由能, 且都随变性剂脲浓度的增大而增大;通过对不同HPHIC色谱柱后复性α-Chy的比活测定, 还发现脲变α-Chy的复性效率与其从固定相表面的折叠自由能有关, 同一构象的α-Chy从固定相表面得到的折叠自由能越高越有利于其折叠成天然蛋白质.     

枯草杆菌α－淀粉酶在色谱介质上的热变性行为研究

通过用前沿分析测定热力学参数的方法,研究了枯草杆菌α－淀粉酶在几种色谱介质上的热变性行为。实验结果表明,在RP-C18反相介质、Zn2+螯合的Chelating Sepharose Fast-Flow亲和介质和WCX-1阳离子交换介质上,当温度分别低于或超过30℃时,α－淀粉酶分子分别以一种稳定的构象存在;而在PEG-400 和修饰的PEG-400疏水色谱介质上,当温度分别低于40℃和30℃时,α－淀粉酶分子分别以一种稳定的构象存在,但当温度分别高于40℃和30℃时,α－淀粉酶分子的构象会发生剧烈的变化。同时,通过测定α－淀粉酶分子在自由溶液以及在PEG-400 和修饰的PEG-400疏水色谱介质上的热失活曲线,可以得出结论：在液相色谱过程中,色谱介质会诱导α－淀粉酶分子构象的变化,并促进它们的热变性;而在疏水色谱中,色谱介质的疏水性越高,α－淀粉酶分子在其上的构象变化温度越低。     

液相色谱Z值对溶菌酶分子构象变化的定量表征

目前, 研究蛋白分子的构象变化用得最多的是光谱法, 如荧光光谱、圆二色谱和核磁共振谱等[1]. 由于蛋白质分子构象变化与其在色谱中的保留行为直接相关[2], 所以色谱法也成为研究蛋白质分子构象变化的一种新方法[3]. 此外, 计量置换理论中的Z值也已被成功地用于表征生物大分子的构象变化[4]. 用Z值研究蛋白质分子构象变化的优点是可以使用不纯的样品, 这是因为在测定Z值的过程中会与其它组分相分离. 使用Z值还会对蛋白分子构象变化进行定量表征[5,6]. 本文以溶菌酶(Lys)为目标蛋白, 用色谱法[反相液相色谱(RPLC)和弱阳离子交换色谱(WCX)]系统地研究了Lys在不同变性(胍变非还原、脲变非还原、胍变还原和脲变还原)环境中因疏水性及电荷分布的不同对Lys分子构象变化的影响, 并用Z值进行了定量表征.

An efficient approach to the synthesis of highly congested di, penta and hexacyclic pyrazoles as well as imidazole fragment containing novel heterocyclic molecule has been developed through a carbanion induced transformation of suitably functionalized 2H-pyran-2-ones, benzo[h]chromene and thiochromeno[4,3-b]pyrans. Due to the presence of fluorescence, we report their prime application metal sensor as off/on switching in ferric ions.     

α-Amino acid derived enaminones and their application in the synthesis of N-protected methyl 5-substituted-4-hydroxypyrrole-3-carboxylates and other heterocycles

A new and simple synthesis of novel N-protected methyl 5-substituted-4-hydroxypyrrole-3-carboxylates, which exist in equilibrium with their 4-oxo tautomers, has been developed in two steps starting from N-protected α-amino acids. The key intermediates are enaminones, which can also be isolated, characterized, and used for the construction of other functionalized heterocycles, before they spontaneously decompose to pyrrole products. 4-Hydroxypyrroles are prone to partial aerial oxidation but can be efficiently alkylated or reduced to stable polysubstituted pyrrolidine derivatives.     

Specific intramolecular aromatic CH insertion of diazosulfonamides

The chemoselectivity in the intramolecular CH insertion of various diazosulfonamides has been experimentally studied. The results reveal that the aliphatic 1,4-, 1,5-, or 1,6-C(sp³)?H insertions of diazosulfonamides are not accessible, while the aromatic 1,5-C(sp²)?H insertion can be realized specifically by adjusting the diazo-adjacent group. In addition, the general chemoselectivities in the intramolecular CH insertions of diazosulfonyl compounds are summarized. Generally, diazosulfones undergo both aromatic 1,5-C(sp²)?H and aliphatic 1,5- and 1,6-C(sp³)?H insertions, while diazosulfonates undergo aliphatic 1,5- and 1,6-C(sp³)?H insertions. However, diazosulfonamides only undergo aromatic 1,5-C(sp²)?H insertion.

Understanding the Diels-Alder reactivity of 1,2-azaborine analogues

The Diels-Alder reactivity of 1,2-heteroborines (H₄C₄B(H)X, X?=?NH, PH, AsH; O, S, Se) has been computationally explored by means of Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations. The influence of the HB?=?X fragment on the reactivity of the system has been quantitatively analyzed in detail by means of the so-called Activation Strain Model (ASM) of reactivity. It is found that the interaction between these species and the dienophile is significantly stronger than that computed for their all-carbon isoelectronic counterpart, benzene. In addition, the strain energy plays a key role in the observed reactivity trends. The role of the aromaticity strength of these heteroarenes on the reactivity is also assessed.

N-Heterocyclic carbene-palladacyclic complexes 3 were successfully achieved in a one-pot procedure under mild conditions. The structure of 3a was unambiguously confirmed by X-ray single crystal diffraction and it was an active catalyst in the Buchwald-Hartwig amination and α-arylation of ketones even at very low catalyst loadings (0.01?mol%).     

Synthesis of N-substituted carbazolones from α-iodo enaminones via Pd(0)-catalyzed intramolecular coupling under microwave irradiation

A variety of N-aryl and N-alkyl carbazolones were conveniently achieved in good to high yields via Pd₂(dba)₃-mediated intramolecular coupling of N-substituted α-iodo enaminones under microwave irradiation. The Pd(0)-catalyzed cyclization was found to proceed favorably with the more electron-deficient phenyl ring during the reactions involving unsymmetrical N,N-diaryl α-iodo enaminones. This unique property enables the construction of carbazolone skeleton containing nitro substituted benzenoid ring.     

Synthesis of substituted 2,4,5,6-tetrahydrocyclopenta[c]pyrazoles and 2,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrazoles by intramolecular nitrilimine cycloaddition

Both substituted 2,4,5,6-tetrahydrocyclopenta[c]pyrazoles and 2,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrazoles have been synthesized by the 3+2 intramolecular dipolar cycloaddition of nitrilimines to alkynes. This cyclization has been extended to more versatile 3-bromo derivatives by the use of alkynylbromides as dipolarophiles.     

Iodine-mediated oxidative Pictet-Spengler reaction using terminal alkyne as the 2-oxoaldehyde surrogate for the synthesis of 1-aroyl-β-carbolines and fused-nitrogen heterocycles

An efficient iodine-mediated oxidative Pictet-Spengler reaction in dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) using terminal alkynes as the 2-oxoaldehyde surrogate for the synthesis of aryl (9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indol-1-yl)methanones is described. The scope of the protocol includes the total synthesis of Fascaplysin, Eudistomins Y₁ and Y₂. The methodology is extended for preparing pyrrolo[1,2-a]-quinoxaline and indolo[1,5-a]quinoxaline derivatives. The utility of 1-aroyl-β-carbolines was demonstrated by performing palladium-catalyzed β-carboline directed ortho-C(sp2)-H functionalization of the phenyl ring with thiomethyl (SMe) group using DMSO as source and for accessing 4-aryl-canthin-6-ones.     

Facile synthesis of bicyclic 1-arylpyrazol-5-ones

In this Letter, we described a facile method for constructing fused bicyclic 1-arylpyrazol-5-one ring system. We employed various methylene-containing carboxylic acids as the substrates and proved that the pyrazolone ring closure requires activated methylene group in intermediate II. Accordingly, a series of structurally diversified, fused bicyclic 1-arylpyrazol-5-ones was prepared in moderate to high yields using the requisite substrates.
