Summary. The performance of three different spin decoupling schemes, CW, TPPM, and SPINAL-64 is compared, by recording proton decoupled 13C NMR spectra of a crystalline glycine sample, with 20% isotopic labelling. At a magnetic field of B
0 = 14.1 T, the two phase modulated pulse schemes, TPPM and SPINAL-64, are shown to give decisively better results than CW decoupling, and the SPINAL-64 sequence is found to perform better than TPPM. It is suggested that in NMR of crystalline solids, SPINAL-64 offers a viable and competitive alternative to the well established TPPM decoupling technique, especially at higher magnetic fields.

The model binding of the glycopeptide antibiotic teicoplanin (Teic) from Actinoplanes teichomyceticus, immobilized on magnetic microspheres, to d-Ala-d-Ala terminus peptides was assessed using microchip capillary electrophoresis (MCE) with continuous frontal analysis (FA).
Teic is closely related to vancomycin (Van), historically, the drug of last resort used to treat many Gram-positive bacterial
infections. Glycopeptide antibiotics inhibit bacterial growth by binding to the d-Ala-d-Ala terminus on the cell wall of Gram-positive bacteria via hydrogen bonds, thereby preventing the enzyme-mediated cross-linking
of peptidoglycan and eventual cell death. In this work direct and competitive bead-based assays in a microfluidic chip are
demonstrated. The binding constants obtained using the technique are comparable with values reported in the literature. 相似文献

Enterococcus faecium, an opportunistic pathogen that causes a significant number of hospital-acquired infections each year, presents a serious
clinical challenge because an increasing number of infections are resistant to the so-called antibiotic of last resort, vancomycin.
Vancomycin and other new glycopeptide derivatives target the bacterial cell wall, thereby perturbing its biosynthesis. To
help determine the modes of action of glycopeptide antibiotics, we have developed a bottom-up mass spectrometry approach complemented
by solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to elucidate important structural characteristics of vancomycin-susceptible
E. faecium peptidoglycan. Using accurate-mass measurements and integrating ion-current chromatographic peaks of digested peptidoglycan,
we identified individual muropeptide species and approximated the relative amount of each. Even though the organism investigated
is susceptible to vancomycin, only 3% of the digested peptidoglycan has the well-known d-Ala-d-Ala vancomycin-binding site. The data are consistent with a previously proposed template model of cell-wall biosynthesis
where d-Ala-d-Ala stems that are not cross-linked are cleaved in mature peptidoglycan. Additionally, our mass-spectrometry approach allowed
differentiation and quantification of muropeptide species seen as unresolved chromatographic peaks. Our method provides an
estimate of the extent of muropeptides containing O-acetylation, amidation, hydroxylation, and the number of species forming cyclic imides. The varieties of muropeptides on
which the modifications are detected suggest that significant processing occurs in mature peptidoglycan where several enzymes
are active in editing cell-wall structure. 相似文献

A single crystal calorimetry of a heptacopper(II) complex of [Cu7(μ3-Cl)2(μ3-OH)6-(d-pen-disulfide)3] which has a double-cubane structure supported by d-penicillaminedisulfides has been performed at low-temperature region below 8 K. This compound is a metal complex which contains
seven Cu(II)s in a cluster unit. These Cu(II)s are magnetically coupled each other by strong intra-complex interactions. The
heat capacities under magnetic fields exhibit Schottky type anomalies explained by the Zeeman splitting of the doublet ground
state of the complex. The g-value of the ground state is evaluated as 1.86 from the systematic analysis of the Schottky peak under magnetic fields. The
first excited state of the cluster seems to be separated at least by several Kelvins, which is consistent with the theoretical
calculations and magnetic susceptibility results. 相似文献

Mixed valency in the high-temperature phases of transition metal molybdates, A MoO4 ( A =Fe, Co, Ni)
Transition metal molybdates of the formulaAMoO4 whereA=Fe, Co or Ni exhibit a first-order phase transition between 670K–970K. An investigation of the lowtemperature (lt) and high-temperature (ht) phases by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, x-ray absorption spectroscopy, magnetic susceptibility and other physical methods
shows that the phase transition is associated with a valence change of the typeA
2++Mo6+αA
3++Mo5+ in the cases of iron and cobalt molybdates.

Summary Amino acid complexes of CrCl3Py3 have been prepared and studied by elemental analysis, magnetic susceptibility, vibrational (i.r.), electronic and circular dichroism spectroscopy. Two peaks in the visible spectra are assigned to a d-d transition in pseudo octahedral symmetry. The spectrochemical parameters (Dq, B and
35) for the complexes were calculated which confirm that pyridine nitrogen and/or chlorine are not removed. Prolonged heating or bubbling of air through the solution of CrCl3-Py3 containing l-(-)-histidine or l-(-)-threonine for several hours enhanced formation of chromium (VI). 相似文献

The conditions for the formation of heteroleptic complexes of a lanthanide(iii) ion (Ln = La, Gd, and Tb) with p-sulfonatothiacalix[4]arene and a heteroaromatic chromophore in water were found using X-ray diffraction analysis, pH-metry,
1H NMR and UV—Vis spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic relaxation. In the resulting complexes, the heteroaromatic chromophore
is in the calix[4]arene cavity and the lanthanide ion is coordinated by the electron-donating groups of the upper or lower
calix[4]arene rim. Emission spectroscopic studies revealed changed emission properties of TbIII ions in the terbium(iii)—p-sulfonatothiacalix[4]arene—bipy complex.

A class of novel amphiphilic diblock copolymer of MePEG-b-poly(DL-lactide-co-RS-β-malic acid) has been synthesized via the hydrogenation over palladium on charcoal of MePEG-b-poly(DL-lactide-co-RS-β-benzyl malolactonate), which was prepared by ring-opening copolymerization of DL-lactide and RS-β-benzyl malolactonate (MABz) using methyl-polyethylene glycol (MePEG) as the initiator and stannous octoate as the catalyst. The influence of copolymerization temperature, reaction time, macro-initiator (MePEG-5000) proportion and monomer ratio was studied. Gel permeation chromatography measurements revealed that the molecular weight decreased with increasing MABz feeding dose. The configurational structures of the protected and de-protected copolymers were determined by 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), 1H NMR and Fourier transform infrared. A water-swollen core of the nanospheres formed from the de-protected copolymer was discovered by transmission electron microscopy measurement. Additionally, the degradation experiments indicated that more hydrophilic malic acid content led to higher degradation rate. 相似文献

Teicoplanin (teic) from Actinoplanes teichomyceticus is a glycopeptide antibiotic used to treat many Gram-positive bacterial infections. Glycopeptide antibiotics inhibit bacterial
growth by binding to carboxy-terminal d-Ala-d-Ala intermediates in the peptidoglycan of the cell wall of Gram-positive bacteria. In this paper we report the derivatization
of magnetic microspheres with teic (teic-microspheres). Fluorescence-based techniques have been developed to analyze the binding
properties of the microspheres to two d-Ala-d-Ala terminus peptides. The dissociation constant for the binding of carboxyfluorescein-labeled d-Ala-d-Ala-d-Ala to teic on microspheres was established via fluorimetry and flow cytometry and was determined to be 0.5 × 10−6 and 3.0 × 10−6 mol L−1, respectively. The feasibility of utilizing microparticles with fluorescence methods to detect low levels (the limit of bacterial
detection was determined to be 30 colon-forming units; cfu) of Gram-positive bacteria has been demonstrated. A simple microfluidic
experiment is reported to demonstrate the possibility of developing microsphere-based affinity assays to study peptide–antibiotic
interaction. 相似文献

β-d-Xylosidase from Selenomonas ruminantium is revealed as the best catalyst known (k
cat, k
cat/K
m) for promoting hydrolysis of 1,4-β-d-xylooligosaccharides. 1H nuclear magnetic resonance experiments indicate the family 43 glycoside hydrolase acts through an inversion mechanism on
substrates 4-nitrophenyl-β-d-xylopyranoside (4NPX) and 1,4-β-d-xylobiose (X2). Progress curves of 4-nitrophenyl-β-d-xylobioside, xylotetraose and xylohexaose reactions indicate that one residue from the nonreducing end of substrate is cleaved
per catalytic cycle without processivity. Values of k
cat and k
cat/K
m decrease for xylooligosaccharides longer than X2, illustrating the importance to catalysis of subsites −1 and +1 and the
lack there of subsite +2. Homology models of the enzyme active site with docked substrates show that subsites bey ond−1 are
blocked by protein and subsites bey ond +1 are not formed; they suggest that D14 and E186 serve catalysis as general base
and general acid, respectively. Individual mutations, D14A and E186A, erode k
cat and k
cat/K
m by <103 and to asimilar extent for substrates 4NPX and 4-nitrophenyl-α-l-arabinofuranoside (4NPA), indicating that the two substrates share the same active site. With 4NPX and 4NPA, pH governs k
cat/K
m with pK
a values of 5.0 and 7.0 assigned to D14 and E186, respectively. k
cat (4NPX) has a pK
a value of 7.0 and k
cat (4NPA) is pH independent above pH 4.0, suggesting that the catalytically inactive, “dianionic” enzyme form (D14-E187-) binds
4NPX but not 4NPA.

We identified and characterized two genes, LAT1 and LAT2, which encode specific l-arabinose transporters. The genes were identified in the l-arabinose fermenting yeast Ambrosiozyma monospora. The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae had only very low l-arabinose transport activity; however, when LAT1 or LAT2 was expressed, l-arabinose transport was facilitated. When the LAT1 or LAT2 were expressed in an S. cerevisiae mutant where the main hexose transporters were deleted, the l-arabinose transporters could not restore growth on d-glucose, d-fructose, d-mannose or d-galactose. This indicates that these sugars are not transported and suggests that the transporters are specific for l-arabinose. 相似文献

Pichia stipitis CBS 6054 will grow on d-xylose, d-arabinose, and l-arabinose. d-Xylose and l-arabinose are abundant in seed hulls of maize, and their utilization is important in processing grain residues. To elucidate
the degradation pathway for l-arabinose, we obtained a mutant, FPL-MY30, that was unable to grow on d-xylose and l-arabinose but that could grow on d-arabinitol. Activity assays of oxidoreductase and pentulokinase enzymes involved in d-xylose, d-arabinose, and l-arabinose pathways indicated that FPL-MY30 is deficient in d-xylitol dehydrogenase (D-XDH), d- and l-arabinitol dehydrogenases, and d-ribitol dehydrogenase. Transforming FPL-MY30 with a gene for xylitol dehydrogenase (PsXYL2), which was cloned from CBS 6054 (Gen Bank AF127801), restored the D-XDH activity and the capacity for FPL-MY30 to grow on
l-arabinose. This suggested that FPL-MY30 is critically deficient in XYL2 and that the d-xylose and l-arabinose metabolic pathways have xylitolas a common intermediate. The capacity for FPL-MY30 to grow on d-arabinitol could proceed through d-ribulose. 相似文献

Glycoclusters were obtained by N-alkylation of N-glycyl-β-d-galactopyranosylamine with N-chloroacetyl derivatives of β-d-galactopyranosylamine and N,N″-iminodiacetyl-di-β-d-galactopyranosylamine. The glycoclusters with two and three galactopyranosylamine residues and the monovalent ligand N-diglycyl-β-d-galactopyranosylamine with an amino group in the spacer are suitable for subsequent conjugation with carboxyl-containing
physiologically active compounds. 相似文献

This work utilizes on-column ligand synthesis and affinity capillary electrophoresis (ACE) to determine binding constants (Kb) of 9-flourenylmethyloxy carbonyl (Fmoc)-amino acid derivatives to the glycopeptide antibiotics ristocetin (Rist) and teicoplanin (Teic). In this technique, two separate plugs of sample are injected on to the capillary column and electrophoresed. The initial sample plug contains a d-Ala-d-Ala terminus peptide and either one or two non-interacting standard(s). The second plug contains a Fmoc-amino acid-N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) ester. The electrophoresis is then carried out with an increasing concentration of Rist or Teic in the running buffer. Upon electrophoresis the initial d-Ala-d-Ala peptide reacts with the Fmoc-amino acid yielding a new Fmoc-amino acid-d-Ala-d-Ala peptide derivative. Continued electrophoresis results in the binding of Rist or Teic to the Fmoc-amino acid-d-Ala-d-Ala peptide derivatives. Analysis of the change in the relative migration time ratio (RMTR) or electrophoretic mobility () of the Fmoc-amino acid-d-Ala-d-Ala peptide derivatives relative to the non-interacting standards, as a function of the concentration of Rist and Teic, yields a value for
Kb. These findings demonstrate the advantage of coupling on-column ligand synthesis to ACE for estimating binding parameters between antibiotics and ligands.Abbreviations Rist

Structures of the micelles which are formed by the chiral oligopeptide surfactant N-dodecanoyl-L-proline tripeptide anions have been examined using small-angle neutron scattering spectral analysis. Results show that the
chiral N-dodecanoyl-L-proline trimeric anions may form a spherical micelle with an aggregation number of 36 and that the oligopeptide portions
with a poly-L-proline I-type helical structure are saturated with water.

A series of 1,4-naphthoquinone O-acetylthioglycosides have been synthesized by the condensation of fully O-acetylated derivatives of 1-thio-d-xylose, 1-thio-L-arabinose, 1-thio-d-galactose, 1-thio-d-mannose, and 1-thiomaltose with 3-chloro-2-methoxy-1,4-naphtho-quinone. Their deacetylation with MeONa/MeOH proceeded with
simultaneous heterocyclization to yield linear carbohydrate-containing tetracyclic quinones. Tetracycles with trans junction of the carbohydrate and quinone rings are poorly soluble in water and organic solvents. 相似文献

The enthalpies of mixing of aqueous solutions have been determined for sucrose with six different amino acids (glycine, l-alanine, l-serine, l-valine, l-proline and l-threonine) at 298.15 K, by using a LKB-2277 flow microcalorimetric system. These results, along with the enthalpies of dilution of these solutes for the initial solutions, were used to determine the enthalpic interaction coefficients (h
xy, h
xyy, h
xxy) of the McMillan–Mayer Theory. The pair-wise cross interaction coefficients of amino acids and sucrose are discussed from the viewpoint of solute–solute interactions. 相似文献

Summary The complexes K[Pt(l-aze)Cl2, [Pt(l-aze)2] and [Pd(l-aze)2] (l-aze = l-azetidine-2-carboxylate) were prepared. X-ray structures show that [Pt(l-aze)2] and [Pd(l-aze)2] are isomorphous, having a planar tetragonal geometry with a trans configuration around the Pt and Pd atoms. Slight puckerings of the MN(1)N(11)O(11) chelate ring (M = Pt or Pd) and the azetidine ring were observed. The circular dichroism (c.d.) spectra of the complexes in aqueous solution agree with the structures found in the solid state as far as the hexadecant rule is concerned, giving, for the trans configuration of [M(l-ia)2] (where ia = imino acid), the profile of the c.d. signs for the three predominant d-d transitions as: +,-,-. I.r., conductivity and n.m.r. measurements are also reported and are in accord with the proposed structures. 相似文献

Vancomycin (Van) from Streptomyces orientalis has been derivatized with polyethylene glycol [PEG; PEG-550 (1), 750 (2), 1,100 (3), 2,000 (4), 5,000 (5), and 8,000 (6) g mol−1] at the N-terminus of the glycopeptide backbone and their binding to d-Ala-d-Ala terminus peptides assessed using affinity capillary electrophoresis (ACE). Utilizing ACE, a plug of Van-PEG and non-interacting
standards are injected and electrophoresed. Analysis of the change in the relative migration time ratio of the Van-PEG species,
relative to the non-interacting standards, as a function of the concentration of peptide, yields a value for the binding constant
(K
b). Values of K
b for N-acetyl-d-Ala-d-Ala, 7 to the Van-PEG derivatives are weaker than those for N
α,N
ε-diacetyl-Lys-d-Ala-d-Ala, 8 (for example, values of K
b for 7-1 and 8-1 are 1.8 and 47.7 × 103 M−1, respectively). These results demonstrate that derivatization of Van with PEG has little effect on the affinity of d-Ala-d-Ala peptide ligands to it. The findings further prove the versatility of ACE and its ability to estimate binding parameters
of ligands to antibiotics. 相似文献

The structural transition of the l- and dl forms of poly(N-(1- hydroxymethyl)propylmethacrylamide (PHMPMA) in aqueous solution was studied by measuring the pressure dependence of the apparent scattering intensity, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and circular dichroism (CD). The thermodynamic implications of the results are discussed in relation to the chiral structure of the side chain, and differences in the thermal and barometric transitions. T-P diagrams of the transition showed characteristic ellipsoid features. Antagonism of the temperature and pressure effects was observed only for P(dl-HMPMA). For P(l-HMPMA), the transition temperature (T
tr) decreased with increasing pressure, and the highest T
tr was observed at atmospheric pressure (0.1 MPa). For both polymers, the highest P
trs were observed at the lowest temperatures. The l polymer showed a specific negative peak in its CD spectrum at around 220 nm in the lower temperature region and the temperature dependence was reproduced by a single-step transition, with the midpoint corresponding to the T
tr obtained from the scattering measurements. Coupled with the results from the DSC, the different behavior between the P(l-HMPMA) and P(dl-HMPMA) could be explained in terms of the chain states before and after the transition. The cooperative factors derived from the DSC measurement revealed that about 4 to 5 polymers of the present size were necessary to perform a thermal transition for P(l-HMPMA), and that P(dl-HMPMA) underwent its transition as an almost single molecular event.This revised version was published online in June 2005 with correction to the article category. 相似文献
