CHEMICAL MODIFICATION OF SULFHYDRYL GROUPS OF E.coli LEUCYL-tRNA SYNTHE-TASE AND SEQUENCING OF [~(14)C]NEM-LABELED PEPTIDES

The chemical modification of the sulfhydryl groups of E. coli Leucyl--tRNA synthetase(LeuRS) by DTNB, NEM and IAA resulted in a time-dependent loss of both amino-acid acti-vation and aminoacylation activities in parallel. The second-order reaction constants of DTNB,NEM and IAA were 1700, 150 and 0.46 mol/L~(-1) min~(-1) respectively. Chemical stoichiometryshowed that only one sulfhydryl group of LeuRS was essential for both activities. Substratesleucine and Leu-AMP protected the active sulfhydryl group from modification, suggestingthat the modified sulfhydryl group is located in or near the active site region responsiblefor amino-acid activation. [~(14)C]NEM--labeled LeuRS was subjected to tryptic digestion, andpeptides were separated and sequenced. 179 Cys~*-Asp-Thr-Leu182 was identified as the major[~(14)C]NEM-labeled site in LeuRS. This result is consistent with the previous observationthat the region for Leu--AMP formation was located at the N--terminal part of LeuRS.

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of 1-H-Pyrrole-2-carboxylic Acid [2-(Naphthalen-1-ylamino)-ethyl]-amide

1 INTRODUCTION Pyrrole based compounds are frequently observed as hosts for neutral molecules[1] and anionic spe- cies[2]. Meantime, it is found that these compounds also have the ability to form higher order self-assem- bled ensembles and aggregates in solid state through hydrogen bonds[3]. In previous work, we have re- ported the crystal structures of two pseudopoly- morphs of o-di-(pyrrole-2-carboxamides)-phenylene 1[4]. A helical assembly is observed when 1 forms specific hydrogen bon…     

SYNTHESIS OF 2,2-DISUBSTITUTED-1,3-PROPANE-DITHIOLS

Abstract

A method for the preparation of 2,2-disubstituted-1,3-propanedithiols from the corresponding diols is described. The success of the synthesis is governed by the solvent in which the nucleofilic substitution, dimesylate to dirhodanide, is performed. The proposed reaction sequence is tested out for several diols and the overall yields are very good with respect to the strongly hindered[sbnd]sterically ‐neopentyl-structure. All compounds are identified by ¹H-nmr.

The Effect of Oligo(Ethylene Oxide) Side Chains: A Strategy to Improve Contrast and Switching Speed in Electrochromic Polymers

Solution-processable electrochromic polymers (ECPs) with high performance are urgently needed for extensive applications. Nevertheless, they suffer from slow switching speed because of low ionic conductivities. Herein, we present an effective strategy to improve the contrast and switching speed in ECPs via facile side-chain engineering. A novel electrochromic thieno[3,2-b]thiophene-based polymer (PmOTTBTD) is designed and successfully synthesized by introducing oligo(ethylene oxide) side chains with high ionic conductivity. Compared to the counterpart POTTBTD without modification by oligo(ethylene oxide) chains, PmOTTBTD demonstrates nearly double contrast (42 % vs. 24 %) with a fast oxidation switching process that just takes half of the time when detected under 400 nm, as well as much higher coloration efficiencies (e. g. 239.04 cm² C⁻¹ vs. 226.26 cm² C⁻¹ @ 400 nm and 314.04 cm² C⁻¹ vs. 174.00 cm² C⁻¹ @ 650∼700 nm). Besides, PmOTTBTD exhibits excellent stability with negligible decay after 3000 cycles. Our work suggests a facile strategy that could be adopted to realize high-performance ECPs via molecular design tuning.

Under excitation of 380nm, strong green light-emitting locating at 517nm with the fluorescence quantum yield of 0.88 in CH2Cl2 has been obtained.In the presence of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD), strong blue-emitting at 456nm in DMF was also recorded.     

REDOX DISSOCIATION OF MELTED TETRAPHOSPHORUS DECASULFIDE

Abstract

P₄S₁₀ suffers a fast oxido-reductive dissociation when melted, losing one of its four terminal S atoms to yield P₄S₉, which is characterized by nmr, irand Raman spectroscopy. This dissociated state is largely retained in the cooled melts, which appear to be made up of unaltered P₄S₁₀ crystals embedded in an amorphous matrix containing the dissociation products; such melts give rise easily to supersaturated solutions in CS₂, from which crystals of pure P₄S₉—form I separate on standing.

The same holds true for commercial “P₂S₅,” for which a definite positive correlation was found between the P and P₄S₉ contents.

Examples of redox dissociation of other P/S compounds are quoted for the sake of comparison.     

THE PHOTOTOXIC EFFECT OF BENOXAPROFEN AND ITS ANALOGS ON HUMAN ERYTHROCYTES AND RAT PERITONEAL MAST CELLS

Abstract— Benoxaprofen [2-(4-chlorophenyl)-α-methyl-5-benzoxazoleacetic acid] is a phototoxic non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent. Irradiation of human erythrocytes in the presence of benoxaprofen (8 μ M ) and oxygen resulted in rapid cell lysis which began after 10 min and was complete within 30 min. While photohemolysis was also observed under anerobic conditions, its onset was delayed for more than 20 min and it took nearly 100 min for complete lysis to occur. Photohemolysis was also delayed by butylated hydroxyanisole but was unaffected by reduced glutathione. 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane, D₂O. β-carotene, or superoxide dismutase. The main photoproduct of benoxaprofen, 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-ethylbenzoxazole, was almost as effective in causing photohemolysis as benoxaprofen itself. In the presence of UV irradiation, benoxaprofen (10 (μ M ) caused the degranulation of rat peritoneal mast cells and the release of histamine. The release of mast cell histamine may provide a reasonable explanation for the urticarial response to benoxaprofen and irradiation seen in human subjects.

ELECTROREDUCTION MECHANISM OF Ni(DMG)-2 COMPLEX STUDIED WITH QUANTUM CHEMICAL METHOD

The electronic structures of the species Ni(DMG)_2, (Ni(DMG)_2)~- and (Ni(DMG)_2)_(2-) have been studied by INDO quantum chemical method. The results have clearly shown that in the first stage of the electroreduction of Ni(DMG)_2, one electron interacts with the d orbitals on the nickel atom, while in the further stage the second electron interacts with the p orbitals on the nitrogen atoms. It conforms with our electrochemical experimental studies which showed that not only Ni(Ⅱ) is reduced but also DMG is catalytically reduced during the reduction of Ni(DMG)_2.
