核糖核酸酶A在DAB-环乙烷溶液中的活性和构象

The activity and conformation of ribonuclerse A (RNaseA) solubilized in cyclohexane via dodecylammonium butyrate(DAB) reverse micelles were investigated. The activity of RNaseA was studied using the cytidine 2’,3’ -phosphate as the substrate, and it was found that kcat increases significantly with respect to that in water attended by an increased Km•FT-IR spectra of RNaseA in reverse micellar solution were investigated as a function of w0(= [H2O]/ [DAB]), and it was noted that the structure of RNaseA became losser in reverse micelles campared to that in aqueous solution. The relation between activity and conformation was discussed.     

Separation of Dyes from Aqueous Solutions by Paper Adsorption

Separation of the dyes methyl violet, methylene blue, and congo red from aqueous solutions by paper capillary permeation adsorption method was studied using paper. Nearly 100% of the investigated dyes could be separated under the optimum conditions. The effect of pH on the separation efficiency was studied in particular. At pH 5–9, 1.3–11, and 7–11, the maximum separation was achieved for methyl violet, methylene blue and congo red, respectively. The effects of dye concentration and some foreign ions on the separatability were examined. Moreover, the selective separation of some dyes was attempted by elution with chemical reagents.     

Reversed stereoselectivity in iodohydroxylation of allenyl sulfides. An efficient synthesis of (Z)-3-organosulfur-2-iodo-2-propenols

[reaction: see text] It is observed that the iodohydroxylation of 1,2-allenyl sulfides with I(2) and water in aqueous acetone showed Z-selectivity, which is opposite to that of the iodohydroxylation of 1,2-allenyl sulfoxides.     

Heterolytic cleavage of a beta-phosphatoxyalkyl radical resulting in phosphate migration or radical cation formation as a function of solvent polarity

[formula: see text] The 2-(diethylphosphatoxy)-2-(p-methoxyphenyl)-1,1-dimethylethyl radical (1) reacted to give the benzylic radical product from phosphate migration or a radical cation (or a mixture of the two) as a function of solvent. Smooth acceleration in rates of reactions of 1 in solvents of increasing polarity and consistent entropies of activation indicate that radical 1 reacts by common mechanism irrespective of the final products formed, specifically by initial heterolysis to a radical cation-phosphate anion pair.     

Kinetics of zinc and cadmium dissociation of metallothionein in the presence of chelating agents

The dissociation kinetics of metal ions from native metallothionein (Cd₅Zn₂-MT) of rat liver has been studied in the presence of external ligands including amino acids, peptide and polyamino polycarboxylic acids at 25°C. The study shows that the solution pH affects the metal dissociation process. Different ligands present different multiphasic kinetics. The possible mechanism of metal dissociation from metallothionein has been proposed.

Synthesis and characterization of diametrically substituted tetra-O-n-butylcalix[4]arene ligands and their chelated complexes of titanium,molybdenum, and palladium

The ligation properties of three new upper-rim-substituted calix[4]arene ligands, 5,17-bis(hydroxymethyl)-tetra-n-butoxycalix[4]arene ((HOCH2)2-nBu4Clx, 7), 5,17-bis((diphenylphosphinito)methoxy)-tetra-n-butoxycalix[4]arene ((PPh2OCH2)2-nBu4Clx, 8), and 5,17-bis((diphenylphosphino)methyl)-tetra-n-butoxycalix[4]arene ((PPh2CH2)2-nBu4Clx, 10) are reported herein. The newly prepared compounds differ from previously reported diametrically substituted calix[4]arene derivatives in that the lower-rim substituent was n-butyl. The presence of this lower-rim substituent did not reduce the inherent crystallinity of these complexes as purification of all materials occurred via simple crystallizations. The key precursor for the syntheses of 8 and 10 was 7, acquisition of which occurred in six steps starting from tetra-tert-butylcalix[4]arene, 1. Calix[4]arene derivatives include, tetra-n-butoxycalix[4]arene (nBu4Clx, 3), 5,11,17,23-tetrabromo-tetra-n-butoxycalix[4]arene (Br4-nBu4Clx, 4), 5,17-dibromo-tetra-n-butoxycalix[4]arene (Br2-nBu4Clx, 5), 5,17-bis(formyl)-tetra-n-butoxycalix[4]arene ((CHO)2-nBu4Clx, 6), and 5,17-bis(chloromethyl)-tetra-n-butoxycalix[4]arene ((ClCH2)2-nBu4Clx, 9), all of which were synthesized using modifications of existing procedures. Characterization of all compounds occurred, when possible, using 1H, 13C, and 31P NMR, elemental analyses, FAB-MS, ESI-MS, FT-IR, and X-ray crystallography. The solid-state structures of all calix[4]arene intermediates and ligands showed that the annulus adopted the pinched-cone conformation in which the average C(5)...C(17) intraannular separation was 4.5 +/- 0.4 A. Reaction of 7 with CpTiMe3 yielded the cis-chelate, CpTi(Me)[(OCH2)2-nBu4Clx] (11), quantitatively. Data obtained using ESI-MS (positive-ion mode) confirmed the monomer formulation showed above, and 1H NMR spectra provided sufficient information to deduce the nature of the Ti coordination sphere. Reaction of 8 with cis-Cl2Pd(NCPh)2 in refluxing benzene afforded cis-Cl2Pd[(PPh2OCH2)2-nBu4Clx] (12) in good yields. The monomeric identity of this compound was verified by both X-ray crystallography and positive-ion ESI-MS. The cis-bidentate calix[4]arene ligand did not undergo any noticeable contortion upon chelation of the PdCl2 fragment. Acid-promoted decomposition of 12 occurred in the presence of adventitious HCl and gaseous HCl, and the products of this decomposition were 9 and [mu2-ClPd(PPh2OH)(PPh2O)]2. In addition, chelates of 8 that contained Mo(CO)3L (L = NCMe (14a), NCEt (14b), and CO (14c)) showed that the mode of coordination was relatively insensitive to the identity of the metal. X-ray crystallography afforded views of the solid-state structures of 14b,c and, like 12, showed that the Mo(CO)3L fragment resided above the pinched-cone of the calix[4]arene. 1H NMR revealed that C-H/pi interactions existed between L (14a,b) and a phenyl ring of the coordinated phosphinite. Finally, the bis(diphenylphosphine)calix[4]arene ligand (10) readily coordinated the Mo(CO)3L species, but the reaction did not go to completion, as evidenced by 1H NMR, even after a 5 day reaction time. Data suggest that the product is similar to that observed for 12 and 14, but the incomplete reaction complicated attempts to obtain pure material and prohibited definitive assignment of the coordination array.     

A theoretical study of bond selective photochemistry in CH2BrI

Bromoiodomethane photodissociation in the low-lying excited states has been characterized using unrestricted Hartree-Fock, configuration-interaction-singles, and complete active space self-consistent field calculations with the SDB-aug-cc-pVTZ, aug-cc-pVTZ, and 3-21g** basis sets. According to the results of the vertical excited energies and oscillator strengths of these low-lying excited states, bond selectivity is predicted. Subsequently, the minimum energy paths of the first excited singlet state and the third excited state for the dissociation reactions were calculated using the complete active space self-consistent field method with 3-21g** basis set. Good agreement is found between the calculations and experimental data. The relationships of excitations, the electronic structures at Franck-Condon points, and bond selectivity are discussed.     

Intramolecular alkylative arylation of oxabicylic alkene: a potential diene approach for the synthesis of estrone and analogous steroid structures

Regioselective and stereospecific intramolecular alkylative arylation of unsaturated oxabicyclic diol 6, mediated by Lewis acid or strong protic acid to give the tetracyclic products 7a and 7b, as shown above, represents the first example of an electrophilic (cationic in character) ring-opening-cyclization of oxabicyclic alkene. This constitutes the key cyclization step for a long-standing and potentially useful diene approach for the synthesis of estrone and analogous steroid structures. [structure: see text]     

Synthesis and properties of the double perovskites La2NiVO6, La2CoVO6, and La2CoTiO6

The double perovskites La₂CoVO₆, La₂CoTiO₆, and La₂NiVO₆, are described. Rietveld fitting of neutron and powder X-ray diffraction data show La₂NiVO₆ and La₂CoVO₆ to have a disordered arrangement of B-cations whereas La₂CoTiO₆ shows ordering of the B-cations (with ∼5% Co/Ti inversion). Curie-Weiss fits to the linear region of the 1/χ plots reveal Weiss temperatures of −107, −34.8, and 16.3 K for La₂CoVO₆, La₂CoTiO₆, and La₂NiVO₆, respectively, and magnetic transitions are observed. La₂CoTiO₆ prepared by our method differs from material prepared by lower-temperature routes. A simple antiferromagnetic spin model is consistent with the data for La₂CoTiO₆. These compounds are semiconductors with bandgaps of 0.41 (La₂CoVO₆), 1.02 (La₂CoTiO₆) and 0.45 eV (La₂NiVO₆).
