Distinguishing phosphorylation and sulfation in carbohydrates and glycoproteins using ion-pairing and mass spectrometry

Phosphorylation and sulfation are important modifications affecting the biological properties of carbohydrates, proteins, and glycoproteins. Identification of these two functional groups facilitates the understanding of the structure/function relationship in various species. Mass spectrometry is one of the methods used to detect the presence of these two modifications in complex biological mixtures. However, phosphorylated and sulfated structures are isobaric; thus, differentiation between them in routinely used mass spectrometers is problematic. Herein, we demonstrate that these two groups can be discriminated by using ion-pairing in conjunction with MS/MS experiments. The characteristic product ions are used to successfully identify the phosphorylation and sulfation present in mono-, disaccharides, and the highly sulfated glycoprotein, ovine luteinizing hormone. This method is a robust approach to differentiate the two isobaric functional groups.     

Heterogeneity in copper and glycan content of ceruloplasmin in human serum differs in health and disease

Crossed immunoelectrophoresis of human serum revealed two heterogeneity types of ceruloplasmin with different electrophoretic migration. The two types both consisted of peptides with Mr 150,000, 100,000 and 45,000, which were interpreted as native ceruloplasmin and two hydrolytic fragments. The two types were different in copper content, and one type could reversibly be changed into the other. The glycan microheterogeneity of ceruloplasmin was analyzed by crossed affinoimmunoelectrophoresis with free Lens culinaris agglutinin (LCA) and wheat germ agglutinin (WGA). A third of the ceruloplasmin molecules, both high and low copper type, bound to LCA and two thirds to WGA. The heterogeneity and the microheterogeneity of ceruloplasmin in two groups of patient sera were compared to sera from healthy individuals. The ceruloplasmin type with respect to copper content was a much better factor than either glycan microheterogeneity or total serum concentration in discriminating between the three groups.     

New dispiro compounds: synthesis and properties

We report the synthesis and structural characterization of two dispiro compounds. These two positional isomers have been designed and synthesized through an efficient method. Because of the rigidity and orthogonality of the spiro bridge, both molecules exhibit a well-defined architecture which consists of two fluorene rings connecting to an indenofluorenyl unit via two sp3 carbon atoms. The structural, electrochemical, optical, and thermal properties of these dispiro isomers are discussed.     

Mesomorphic property of 2,5-dibenzoyloxy-, 5-benzoylamino-2-benzoyloxy-, and 2,5-dibenzoylamino-tropones with mono-, di-, and tri-alkoxyl groups on the benzoyl groups and their benzenoid derivatives

Mesomorphic properties of three-ring systems such as 2,5-dibenzoyloxytropones, 5-benzoylamino-2-benzoyloxytropones and 2,5-dibenzoylaminotropones with 4-alkoxy, 3,4-dialkoxy, and 3,4,5-trialkoxy groups on the benzoyl groups were investigated together with those of the corresponding benzenoids. Derivatives with two monoalkoxybenzoyl groups showed nematic and smectic A and C phases. Troponoid tetracatenars with two dialkoxybenzoyl groups had hexagonal columnar phases except for troponoids with two ester-connecting groups, whereas the corresponding benzenoids with two dialkoxybenzoyl groups were non-mesomorphic. All troponoid hexacatenars with two trialkoxybenzoyl groups formed hexagonal columnar phases. With the exception of benzenoid hexacatenars with two ester-connecting groups, the benzenoid hexacatenars showed hexagonal and tetragonal columnar phases. These mesomorphic properties were discussed from the standpoint of the difference of the core structure and the connecting group, where the amide-connecting group played a role to induce and enhance mesomorphic properties through hydrogen bonding.     

Design and Synthesis of New Differentiated Concurrent Mono‐ and Tridentate Ligands (Tectons) Based on Pyridine,Terpyridine, and Dihydrooxazole Units

The design, synthesis, and characterization of the 10 linear and bent acentric ligands 1 – 10 (tectons) based on the differentiation of two divergently disposed coordinating poles is reported. The nature of the two poles and their distance are varied by the use of different linear spacers. For these molecules, a monodentate coordinating site, i.e., a pyridine ring, and a tridentate coordinating site, i.e., a pyridine moiety bearing at the 2 and 6 positions either two thioether groups or two dimethylamino units (PySMe and PyN(Me₂)₂ type, resp.), a terpyridine, or a pyridine ring bearing two optically pure dihydrooxazole units, are combined.     

Syntheses and crystal structures of 3-tert-butyl-4-cyano pyrazole and its complexes with cobalt(II), manganese(II), and copper(II)

A new pyrazole ligand, 3-tert-butyl-4-cyano pyrazole (Hpz^t-Bu,4CN), has been synthesized. The crystal structure of this pyrazole, along with the syntheses and crystal structures of Co, Cu, and Mn complexes of this ligand, are reported. The uncoordinated pyrazole shows the formation of a cyclic hydrogen-bound dimer. The Co complex is octahedral, with four coordinated pyrazoles and two coordinated waters. The Mn complex is octahedral, with two coordinated pyrazoles, two coordinated triflates and two coordinated waters. A hydrogen bonding network involving the triflates and waters results in a linear double chain of Mn complexes. The Cu complex has two coordinated pyrazoles and two coordinated chlorides in a slightly distorted square-planar geometry, with a long bond to the cyano N atom of a neighboring Cu complex, forming a pseudodimer.     

Spectroscopy behavior of diiodofluorescein and tetrabromofluorescein

The luminescence behavior of diiodofluorescein (DIF) and tetrabromofluorescein (TBF) have been investigated including the solid surface room temperature phosphorescence (SS-RTP) and the room temperature fluorescence (RTF). The luminescence intensities of the two compounds are strongest in alkaline solution. RTP lifetime of the two compounds are in the range of 130-140 ms. The RTP and RTF polarization was in the range of 0.01-0.05. The two analytical methods--SS-RTP and RTF, of the two compounds have been established.     

Sesquiterpenes and Flavonoids from Serratula Strangulata

Phytochemistry investigation of the whole plants of Serratula strangulata has led to the isolation of two sesquiterpenes, six flavonoids, and two isoflavonoids. Among these, a sesquiterpene and two flavonoids are new compounds. The structures of these new compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic methods and 2D NMR techniques.     

Mercury Cyanides and Isocyanides: NCHgCN and CNHgNC as well as NCHgHgCN and CNHgHgNC: Simple Molecules with Short,Strong Hg−Hg Bonds

Mercury atoms, laser‐ablated from an amalgam dental filling target, react with cyanogen in excess argon during condensation at 4 K to form two major products in the 2200 cyanide M?C?N stretching region of the IR spectrum, which were assigned to NCHgCN and NCHgHgCN from their antisymmetric C?N stretching mode absorptions at 2213.8 and 2180.1 cm^?1. Two broader bands in the isocyanide region at 2098.2 and 2089.6 cm^?1 were assigned to CNHgNC and CNHgHgNC. The N‐bonded isomers were computed to be 603/33 and 823/69 times more intense IR absorbers than the C‐bonded isomers at the CCSD level of theory. The dissociation energy for the NCHg?HgCN molecule into two HgCN molecules was calculated to be 296 kJ mol^?1 and that for CNHg?HgNC into two HgNC molecules is 304 kJ mol^?1. These simple molecules with two cyanide or two isocyanide ligands have two of the shortest and strongest known Hg?Hg single bonds as the two electronegative CN ligands withdraw antibonding electron density from the bonding region.     

The microstructure of hybrid silica gels and its modification by evaporative and supercritical dryings

The effect of evaporative drying on the pore size of two series of hybrid silica gels is investigated by combining beam bending on the gels and mercury porosimetry on the aerogels and xerogels with transmission electron microscopy on the xerogels. It is shown that the shrinkage of the pores during drying is different in the two series: in one series the pores shrink proportionally to their volume, in the other the pores collapse until they all reach the same size. The experimental data enable us to discuss the relation between these two different behaviours and the different morphology of the two series of gels.

茶多酚在水和N,N-二甲基甲酰胺中的溶解行为及动力学模型

用电导方法研究了茶多酚在水和二甲基甲酰胺(DMF)溶剂中的溶解行为,并导出了溶解动力学模型:dC/dt=k2C2+k1C+k0。结果显示,茶多酚溶液的浓度、溶解温度以及溶剂都会影响其溶解行为。温度升高,有利于茶多酚的溶解;增大茶多酚在溶液中的浓度,反应速率加快,而且茶多酚在H2O中比在DMF中更容易溶解,这跟溶剂本身的酸碱性有关。通过建立溶解动力学模型发现,所有的溶解过程基本上都是零级反应,其次是一级反应,而基本上不发生二级反应。

Vibrational and NMR spectra of mono- and di-chlorothiolacetic acids in relation to rotational isomerism and hydrogen bonding

The vibrational spectra of mono- and di-chlorothiolacetic acids have been measured in liquid and gaseous states and solutions, and vibrational assignments have been proposed. The experimental material shows that these molecules are present as a mixture of two rotational isomers. The energy of the two isomers in the liquid state is almost the same.     

全金属负离子团簇Ga42-、In42-芳香性的磁特征与多重芳香性

The optimized geometries, frequencies, and total electronic energies of two all-metal dianionic clusters Ga42- , In42- are calculated at the B3LYP, B3PW91, and MP2 levels of theory. There are two stable structures for each Ga42- , In42- species. For Ga42- , In42- species the square isomers are the most stable. On the basis of these computed stable structures we focus on two magnetic properties: magnetic susceptibility anisotropy and nucleus-independent chemical shift (NICS) for the square planar Ga42- , In42- isomers, which are calculated with B3LYP and HF methods. The computed results of NICS show that the square planar Ga42- , In42- isomers possess strong aromaticity. The detailed molecular orbital analysis for the two isomers further reveals that the two square planar Ga42- , In42- isomers have multiple-fold aromaticity: one delocalized π MOs and two delocalized σ MOs, which play important role in explaining the special stability of these all-metal square clusters.     

Changes in hemolymph glutathione status after variation in photoperiod and light-irradiance in crayfish Procambarus clarkii and Procambarus digueti

This work studied the effect of light-stressors, irradiance and photoperiod length on the status of hemolymph glutathione in two species of crayfish, Procambarus clarkii and Procambarus digueti. Adult animals of each species were submitted to two experimental approaches: (1) two batches of each species were placed under low or high light irradiant conditions of light-dark (LD) 24 h cycles of two different photoperiod lengths, one normal LD 12: 12 and one extreme LD 20:4 low and high irradiance for 10 weeks. Time-dependent light changes on hemolymph glutathione concentration were determined throughout the entire experimental period; and (2) three batches of the two species were submitted to independent treatments consisting of the same LD 12:12 cycles of high and low irradiance and 20:4 high-irradiance LD cycles. Reduced and oxidized glutathione hemolymph concentrations were determined and total glutathione was calculated. In addition midgut glutathione reductase activity in both species was determined. The two species showed different hemolymph glutathione reactivity and glutathione status for the two light parameters. Dissimilar responses of both species, as well as the rate of mortality of P. digueti represent specific differences in the metabolic responses, as well as tolerance to photo-oxidative stress produced by light. The role of glutathione in the tolerance of crayfish to photo-oxidative stress is discussed.     

IR and NMR time-resolved studies on the hydrolysis and condensation of methacryloxyalkylsilanes

The sol–gel reactions of the two methacrylate-modified silanes methacryloxymethyltriethoxysilane (MAMTES) and methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MAPTMS) were followed by using two independent time-resolved spectroscopic methods, viz., IR ATR and NMR with the aim to optimise their pre-hydrolysis times and consequently their use as precursors for hybrid materials. Time resolved measurements were carried out on the two systems under sol–gel conditions. Whereas the hydrolysis of both siloxanes is very fast, condensation proceeds gradually and is not completely finished within 5 h.
