Visualizing the Chain‐Flipping Mechanism in Fatty‐Acid Biosynthesis

The acyl carrier protein (ACP) from fatty acid synthases sequesters elongating products within its hydrophobic core, but this dynamic mechanism remains poorly understood. We exploited solvatochromic pantetheine probes attached to ACP that fluoresce when sequestered. The addition of a catalytic partner lures the cargo out of the ACP and into the active site of the enzyme, thus enhancing fluorescence to reveal the elusive chain‐flipping mechanism. This activity was confirmed by the use of a dual solvatochromic cross‐linking probe and solution‐phase NMR spectroscopy. The chain‐flipping mechanism was visualized by single‐molecule fluorescence techniques, thus demonstrating specificity between the Escherichia coli ACP and its ketoacyl synthase catalytic partner KASII.

Water‐Mediated Recognition of Simple Alkyl Chains by Heart‐Type Fatty‐Acid‐Binding Protein

Long‐chain fatty acids (FAs) with low water solubility require fatty‐acid‐binding proteins (FABPs) to transport them from cytoplasm to the mitochondria for energy production. However, the precise mechanism by which these proteins recognize the various lengths of simple alkyl chains of FAs with similar high affinity remains unknown. To address this question, we employed a newly developed calorimetric method for comprehensively evaluating the affinity of FAs, sub‐Angstrom X‐ray crystallography to accurately determine their 3D structure, and energy calculations of the coexisting water molecules using the computer program WaterMap. Our results clearly showed that the heart‐type FABP (FABP3) preferentially incorporates a U‐shaped FA of C10–C18 using a lipid‐compatible water cluster, and excludes longer FAs using a chain‐length‐limiting water cluster. These mechanisms could help us gain a general understanding of how proteins recognize diverse lipids with different chain lengths.     

Regio-and Stereo-selective Synthesis of Peracetylated Carbohydrate Esters of Aromatic Fatty Acid Using p-Toluenesulfonic Acid as Catalyst

This paper describes an efficient synthesis of carbohydrate fatty acid esters based on a highly stereo‐ and regio‐selective esterification. The suitably protected glycosyl was esterified with stearic acid to give mainly the β‐anomer in good yield using p‐toluenesulfonic acid as catalyst. The structures of these compounds were fully confirmed by ¹H, ¹³C NMR, mass spectra and HRMS.     

Selective Synthesis of Glycoside Fatty Acid Esters and Their Antibacterial Structure‐activity Relationship against Bacterial Staphylococcus Aureus and Salmonella Agona

Fatty acid esters of glycosides and glucopyranosiduronides were regioselectively synthesized with tin‐mediated method using dibutyltin dimethoxide as the stannylating agent, these novel esters were investigated for their antibacterial activities against bacterial Staphylococcus Aureus and Salmonella Agona, the essential structural feature as antibacterial agents was probed. Antimicrobial tests showed that some laurates of trans‐ol glycosides are effective inhibitors against S. Aureus, while some laurates and myristates of cis‐ol glycosides are moderate inhibitors against both S. Aureus and S. Agona. Studies on antimicrobial structure‐activity relationship of sugar fatty acid esters showed that both the carbohydrate moiety and the length of fatty acid played a vital role on the antibacterial effect.     

Regioselective Synthesis of Fatty Acid Esters of Glycosides Containing Cis‐diol and Biological Test against Bacterial Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella agona

Regioselectivity of glycoside containing cis‐diol esterification with fatty acid using dibutyltin dimethoxide as stannylating agent was probed, the results showed the equatorial position of cis‐diol has some advantage of being acylated, although the orientation of adjacent groups could affected the regioselectivity. The glycoside fatty acid esters were regioselectively synthesized on optimized condition with this stannyl method, the biological tests against bacterial as Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella agona were carried out with these fatty acid esters, the testing results showed that glycoside esters with 12 or 14 carbon long chain fatty acid have some obvious inhibition against Staphylococcus aureus.

Molecular Recognition of Chiral Zinc Porphyrin with Amino Acid Esters

One kind of novel chiral porphyrin and its zinc complex were synthesized and characterized. The molecular recognition of chiral zinc porphyrin towards amino acid esters in CHCl₃ was investigated by UV‐vis spectral titration method. The associative constants of the molecular recognition reactions were all K_D>K_L and followed the order of K(PheOMe)>K(LeuOMe)>K(ValOMe)>K(AlaOMe) in host (Zn(L‐BocTyr)TAPP). Circular dichroism spectra were used to explain chiral molecular recognition. The minimal energy conformation of host‐guest molecular system was sought by molecular dynamics method. The molecular recognition process of this host‐guest system was calculated by quantum chemistry and the results were explained by the experiments     

An automated approach for the parameterization of accurate intermolecular force‐fields: Pyridine as a case study

An automated protocol is proposed and validated, which integrates accurate quantum mechanical calculations with classical numerical simulations. Intermolecular force fields, (FF) suitable for molecular dynamics (MD) and Monte Carlo simulations, are parameterized through a novel iterative approach, fully based on quantum mechanical data, which has been automated and coded into the PICKY software, here presented. The whole procedure is tested and validated for pyridine, whose bulk phase, described through MD simulations performed with the specifically parameterized FF, is characterized by computing several of its thermodynamic, structural, and transport properties, comparing them with their experimental counterparts. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
