细胞色素b5突变体(E44A/E48A/E56A/D60A)的溶液结构研究

电子传递反应是光合作用和生物氧化等一系列重要生物过程的基本反应[1],为阐明细胞色素b5和c的静电结合模型,1993年Northrup等[3]用Brownian动态模拟预言的这两个蛋白结合模型有两种几何形态,根据以下模型设计了许多实验,但对两种模型都至关重要的细胞色素b5血红素暴霞棱周围的4个残基E44,48,56T D60对蛋白质复合物的稳定性以及在蛋白质识别中的作用仍然不清楚,为了阐明这4个带负电的残基对细胞色素b5结构的影响,正确地揭示蛋白质相互作用的本质和机理,本文对牛肝微粒体细胞色素b5胰蛋白酶切割后水溶性部分的突变体(E44A/E48A/E56A/D60A)深液结构进行了研究.     

Synthesis of jenamidines A1/A2

[reaction: see text] Addition of the enolate of tert-butyl acetate to cyanamide methyl ester 17 followed by treatment with LHMDS afforded vinylogous urea 19 in 27% yield. Vinylogous urea 19 was also obtained from 37 and tert-butyl cyanoacetate in 50% yield. Acylation of 19 with acid chloride 31d, followed by hydrolysis of the tert-butyl ester and decarboxylation with 9:1 CH2Cl2/TFA and very mild basic hydrolysis of the methoxyacetate ester, afforded jenamidines A1/A2 (3) in 45% yield. This first synthesis confirms our reassignment of the jenamidines A1/A2 structure.     

Total syntheses of 28,29-diepi-arenamide A, 29-epi-arenamide A, and 28-epi-arenamide A

This communication describes the synthesis of stereochemical analogs of arenamide A, a 19-membered cytotoxic depsipeptide isolated from the fermentation broth of a marine bacterial strain Salinispora arenicola. The key steps are diastereoselective aldol reaction, Mitsunobu reaction, and HATU mediated macrolactamization.     

A stereoselective synthesis of (+)-herboxidiene/GEX1A

A stereoselective synthesis of (+)-herboxidiene is described. The convergent synthesis utilized a Suzuki cross-coupling reaction to assemble the key segments. The synthesis of the functionalized tetrahydropyran ring utilized an Achmatowicz reaction as the key step. The synthesis of the C10-C19 segment was accomplished using Brown's crotylboration, asymmetric alkylation, and a stereoselective allylic chlorination reactions.     

A synthesis of 17-epi-calcidiol

The first synthetic approach to 17-epi-calcidiol 4 and congeners is presented. Key steps of the synthesis involve Pd-catalyzed reaction of the androst-16-ene derivative 6 with alkyl diazoacetates producing the respective cyclopropane derivatives 5, and lithium in liquid ammonia reduction of 5 leading to 17α-pregnane-20-carboxylic acid derivatives 9. The side chain was attached to ester 19 in a known manner.

A model for representation of GE and HE

Knox, D.E. and Van Ness, H.C., 1984. A model for representation of G^E and H^E. Fluid Phase Equilibria, 15: 267-285.Based on statistical arguments, a local-composition model for the excess thermodynamic properties G^E and H^E is developed as an alternative to such two-fluid models as the UNIQUAC equation, to which it compares favorably. Application to multicomponent systems requires one species-related parameter for each species present and one energy-related parameter for each pair of species.     

A Synthetic Approach for Constructing the 3/6/6/5‐Fused Tetracyclic Skeleton of Tenuipesine A

An efficient approach toward the 3/6/6/5‐fused tetracyclic skeleton of tenuipesine A has been accomplished. The strategy featured 1) a tandem Mitsunobu and 3,3‐rearrangement reaction yielding the key intermediate 7 with two adjacent all‐carbon quaternary centers with high d.r.; and 2) a tandem DBDMH‐mediated semipinacol rearrangement via a 1,2‐oxygen migration of an allylic hemiketal to construct the highly substituted tetrahydropyran ring.     

A direct route for the preparation of Fmoc/OtBu protected iodotyrosine

Herein the synthesis of an Fmoc/O^tBu orthogonally protected iodotyrosine derivative is reported. This has been achieved via a simple two-step process in an overall 58% yield from commercially available Fmoc-Tyr(^tBu)-OH. The Fmoc/O^tBu orthogonally protected iodotyrosine was also shown to be amenable to Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling to deliver a novel bi-aryl tyrosine derivative.     

A total synthesis of (R,S)S-glucoraphanin

A total synthesis of (R,S)_S-glucoraphanin (GRP) has been completed by a novel, simple and convenient method in high overall yield (17% over seven steps). The study describes a method for the synthesis of natural and unnatural (methylsulfinyl)alkyl glucosinolates (GLs) and also opens useful pathways to synthesize GRP as well as other sulfinyl GLs.     

A convenient synthesis of iminosugar-C-glycosides via organometallic addition to N-benzyl-N-glycosylhydroxylamines

N-Benzyl-N-glycosylhydroxylamines were prepared in very good yield via condensation of furanoses and pyranoses with N-benzylhydroxylamine at 110°C for 30 min under solvent-free conditions. These anomeric sugar-hydroxylamines exist in equilibrium with the open-chain nitrone form. In fact upon treatment with various organometallic reagents, the corresponding adducts were obtained with good to high diastereoselectivity. These adducts were converted into iminosugar-C-glycosides by reductive dehydroxylation and intramolecular cyclization.     

A stereoselective synthesis of the C15-C25 subunit of (+)-lasonolide A

The C₁₅-C₂₅ upper THP segment 2 of (+)-lasonolide A has been synthesized efficiently via diastereomeric differentiation, iodocyclization and Julia-Kocieński's sulfone olefination to install its quaternary chiral center, cis-2,6-disubstituted THP and trans-olefin, respectively.     

A gallium-catalyzed cycloisomerization/Friedel-Crafts tandem

Under noble (Au, Pt, Ru) and group 13 (Ga, In) metals catalysis, 1,6-arenynes rearrange to give 1,2-dihydronaphthalenes in a high yielding, regiocontrolled fashion. When the reaction is carried out in the presence of electron-rich arenes (anisole, phenol, indole derivatives), Friedel-Crafts addition may follow the cycloisomerization step. Only GaX(3) salts proved able to catalyze these two C-C bond formation events. This specificity of gallium has been exploited for the synthesis of valuable polycyclic compounds that would be very difficult to prepare otherwise. For instance, tetrahydroisoquinolines and tetrahydrobenzoazepines have been obtained by selective 6-exo-dig or 7-endo-dig cyclization of N-tethered 1,6-arenynes. DFT calculations were carried out to shed light on the mechanism and provide a rationale for this regiodivergency. Computations also reveal the fundamental role of the tether in the stabilization of carbocationic species. Differential reactivities of other types of substrates in gallium- and gold-catalyzed cascades are also exposed, showing that the two approaches are complementary. In particular, bimolecular Friedel-Crafts additions are facilitated under gallium catalysis.     

A Novel Nitrone Cycloaddition/Rearrangement

Adamantanone-derived nitrone 4 and some other keto-nitrones, when reacted with aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes in refluxing toluene or tetrahydrofuran, formed the corresponding aldonitrones (Z)- 10 , the latter arising from the fragmentation of an initially formed 1 , 4 , 2 -dioxazolidine 6 to adamantan-2-one and an oxaziridine intermediate 11 , which then rearranges to (Z)- 10 .     

A radiofrequency ESR spectrometer/imager

A Radiofrequency ESR spectrometer/imager is described. Modified from a Surrey Medical Imaging Systems NMR spectroscopy/imaging console, it uses a PC with associated waveform controller cards to perform CW ESR. Digital phase-sensitive detection is provided by a vector processor. The “target-field”-designed magnet and gradients are driven by audio amplifiers. The dual-channel broad-band RF bridge has a reflection homodyne configuration. Birdcage coils have been built that resonate near 200 MHz. Spectra and images of lossy samples of up to 4 cm diameter have been acquired.     

Structure of small TiCn clusters: A theoretical study

A theoretical study of the TiC_n (n = 1–8) clusters has been carried out at the B3LYP/6-311+G(d) level. Molecular properties for three different isomers, namely linear, cyclic, and fan species, have been determined. The fan isomers, where the titanium atom is essentially side-bonded to the entire C_n unit, are predicted to be more stable than both linear and cyclic isomers. Only for the largest studied species, TiC₈, the cyclic isomer is located lower in energy. An even–odd parity effect in the incremental binding energies is observed for the three isomers, n-even species being in general more stable for linear and fan isomers, whereas for the cyclic species n-odd clusters are favoured. A topological analysis of the electronic charge density shows that all cyclic isomers correspond to true monocyclic rings, whereas for the fan species a variety of different connectivities has been observed.
