The reactions of cobalt(II) chloride with racemic malic acid (H3mal = C4H6O5) result in the isolation of monomeric, dimeric and tetrameric cobalt malato complexes: (NH4)2[Co(R-Hmal)(S-Hmal)] · 2H2O (1), [Co2(R-Hmal)(S-Hmal)(H2O)4]n · 2nH2O (2), K4[Co4(OH)2(R-mal)2(S-mal)2(H2O)4] · 10H2O (3) and trans-[Co(R-H2mal)(S-H2mal)(H2O)2] · 2H2O (4). The formations of the malato complexes are dependent on the pH value, the molar ratio of the solutions, the reaction temperature and the counterions. In the water-soluble compound 1, the CoII ion is octahedrally coordinated by two tridentate malates via their α-hydroxy, α-carboxy and β-carboxy groups. The malate ligands in 2 coordinate with the cobalt ion via their α-hydroxy and α-carboxy groups, while the β-carboxy group acts as a bridging ligand for the other two cobalt ions, forming a novel dimeric unit [Co2(R-Hmal)(S-Hmal)(H2O)4], which further connects into a layered structure through links from the oxygen atoms of the β-carboxy groups. Complex 3 is a tetranuclear mixed-valence species. Both of the CoII ions exist in trans-[Co(R-mal)(S-mal)(H2O)2] units, which are linked by a CoIII2(OH)2 unit with bridging α-alkoxy and β-carboxy groups. Compound 4 is the main product of reaction between cobalt chloride and excess malate under weakly acidic conditions. 相似文献

Because of the central role of Concanavalin A (Con A) in the study of protein-carbohydrate interactions, a thorough understanding of the multivalent functions of Con A is imperative. Here, the association of monomeric and dimeric derivatives of Con A with mannose-functionalized generation two through six PAMAM dendrimers is reported. Hemagglutination assay results indicate relatively low activity of the dendrimers for monomeric Con A, with small increases as the dendrimer generation increases. Isothermal titration microcalorimetry experiments indicate monovalent binding by the dendrimers with monomeric Con A and divalent binding by the dendrimers with dimeric Con A. Continuous (and comparable) but narrowing increases in enthalpy and entropy and the slight increase in association constants with monomeric Con A as the dendrimer generation increases suggest favorable proximity effects on binding. Both the hemagglutination assay and the calorimetry experiments suggest that statistical binding enhancements can be observed with monomeric Con A. The results described here should allow for a more quantitative evaluation of the enhancements that are often observed in protein-carbohydrate interactions for glycosylated frameworks binding to Con A. 相似文献

The prion protein (PrP) binds Cu2+ in its N-terminal octarepeat domain. This unusual domain is comprised of four or more tandem repeats of the fundamental sequence PHGGGWGQ. Previous work from our laboratories demonstrates that at full copper occupancy, each HGGGW segment binds a single Cu2+. However, several recent studies suggest that low copper occupancy favors different coordination modes, possibly involving imidazoles from histidines in adjacent octapeptide segments. This is investigated here using a combination of X-band EPR, S-band EPR, and ESEEM, along with a library of modified peptides designed to favor different coordination interactions. At pH 7.4, three distinct coordination modes are identified. Each mode is fully characterized to reveal a series of copper-dependent octarepeat domain structures. Multiple His coordination is clearly identified at low copper stoichiometry. In addition, EPR detected copper-copper interactions at full occupancy suggest that the octarepeat domain partially collapses, perhaps stabilizing this specific binding mode and facilitating cooperative copper uptake. This work provides the first complete characterization of all dominant copper coordination modes at pH 7.4. 相似文献

Human prion protein (hPrP) fragments encompassing the 91-120 region, namely hPrP92-100 (SP1), hPrP106-113 (SP2), hPrP91-120 (LP1), and hPrP91-114 (LP2), were considered for delineation of the Cu(II)-binding site(s). NMR and EPR spectroscopy results obtained from LP1 or LP2 were compared with those obtained from SP1 and SP2. The coexistence of two binding sites, one centered at His96 and the other at His111, was evidenced and ratified by ESI mass spectrometry at low and high metal:peptide ratios. While room-temperature NMR spectroscopy data were consistent with the binding site centered on His111 being approximately fourfold stronger than that centered on His96, low-temperature EPR spectroscopy results yielded evidence for the opposite trend. This disagreement, which has also occurred in the literature, was clarified by temperature-dependent molecular dynamics runs that demonstrated Met112 approaching the metal at room temperature, a process that is expected to stabilize the His111-centered binding site through hydrophobic shielding of the metal coordination sphere. 相似文献

The present paper shows how theoretically determined electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) parameters can help in assigning the most favorable structure of Cu(ii) complexes in octarepeat (OR) regions (PHGGGWGQ) of the prion protein (PrP). This could contribute to a better understanding of the molecular structure of the Cu(OR) complexes, as some features of such species in solution are still unclear. The present theoretical investigation on [Cu(ii)(HGGG)] and [Cu(ii)(HGGGW)] complexes was carried out to confirm the stability of relevant isomers, and in particular, to evaluate the hyperfine coupling constants (hcc) with (63)Cu, (14)N and (17)O nuclei, as well as the g values. The hcc (and to a lesser extent the g components) are useful probes for checking whether the computed EPR parameters for specific isomers fit the experimental data, thus permitting the association of the observed spectra with a specific complex structure. The results obtained suggest that the Cu(ii) ion in the [Cu(HGGG)] isomers prefers a square pyramidal coordination with three nitrogen atoms of the peptide and one carbonyl oxygen atom in the basal plane. Also the Cu(ii) ion in the [Cu(HGGGW)] complex is penta-coordinated. The penta-coordination does not actually involve the tryptophan residue but an additional water molecule, forced to occupy the axial coordination position by a rather extended hydrogen-bond network, promoted by the tryptophan residue.The comparison between the calculated and experimental values of EPR parameters allows one to suggest the assignment of the coordination mode of the Cu(ii) ion in the considered peptide ligands. The computed values of the g components seem to be little affected by a particular coordination mode. In particular, the g( parallel) component is always underestimated by about 0.1 with respect to the experiment. The calculated values of the hcc, in contrast, are in acceptable agreement with the experimental values, in spite of the fact that the large size of the species under consideration forced us to accept a certain level of approximation in the computational procedure. Nevertheless, the present study must be considered as one of the first examples of truly ab initio calculations of EPR parameters for systems as large as the Cu(OR)-type complexes. 相似文献

This study was carried out to investigate the antioxidant activity of propofol (2,6-diisopropylphenol) and its related compounds, butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), 2,6-dimethylphenol, 2,6-di-t-butylphenol, and their dimeric compounds. The degree of antioxidant activity was evaluated based on the degree of peroxidation induced with Fe-ascorbic acid in egg phosphatidylcholine through the determination of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) formed during peroxidation. Their antioxidant activities were in the order of dipropofol>di(2,6-di-t-butylphenol)>diBHA>di(2,6-dimethylphenol). Dipropofol, a dimeric compound of propofol, showed the highest antioxidant activities. Dimeric compounds had higher activities than monomeric compounds, and the 1,1-diphenyl-p-picryhydrazyl-trapping ability of dimeric compounds was also greater than those of monomeric compounds (4-10-fold). These results suggest that dimeric phenols may increase their antioxidant activities along with increments in the conjugation system and play a inhibitory role in the propagation of free radical chain reactions. 相似文献

Since the inhibitory effect of eugenol (a), which was isolated as an antioxidative component from plant, Caryopylli flos, on lipid peroxidation was less than that of alpha-tocopherol, we synthesized the eugenol-related compounds dieugenol (b), tetrahydrodieugenol (c), and dihydroeugenol (d), to find new strong antioxidants and assessed them for their inhibitory effect on lipid peroxidation and scavenging ability for superoxide and hydroxyl radicals. The antioxidative activities were in the order: (b)>(c)>(d)>(a) for the thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) formation. These results suggest that the dimerized compounds have higher antioxidant activities than that of the monomers. Electron spin resonance (ESR) spin trapping experiments revealed that eugenol and its dimer, having allyl groups in the structure, scavenged superoxide, and that only eugenol trapped hydroxyl radicals under the conditions used. These finding suggest that eugenol and dieugenol have a different mechanism of antioxidation, i.e. eugenol may inhibit lipid peroxidation at the level of initiation, however, the related dimeric compounds may inhibit lipid peroxidation at the level of propagation of free radical chain reaction like alpha-tocopherol. 相似文献

Deuterium NMR spectra are reported in powder samples of discotic monomer and dimer as a function of temperature in their column Col(ho) phases. To simulate the observed powder patterns, a threefold jump model is used in the monomer, while in the related dimer the libration motion of the monomeric core is described using the infinitesimal jump method under a restricting potential due to the spacer. By comparing the diffusive rates for the two samples, it is concluded that the planar motion in the dimer is at least 30 times smaller than that of the monomer. This could lead to an enhancement of charge and energy transport in discotic dimer systems. 相似文献

The phase behaviour and the structural characterization of a new series of linear dimeric and cyclic tetrameric molecules which contain three distinct parts, a cyanobiphenyl aromatic core (A), a paraffin chain (P) and a central siloxane group (B) with the A-P-B-P-A sequence, are described. Incompatible with one another, these parts tend to locate themselves in three separate sub-layers superposed in a partially bilayered smectic A structure. Each sub-layer adapts its internal structure in order to be appropriate for superposition, as in the case of organosiloxane molecules with the A-P-B sequence reported previously. 相似文献

A 31-mer polypeptide, which encompasses residues 84-114 of human prion protein HuPrP(84-114) and contains three histidyl residues, namely one from the octarepeat (His85) and two histidyl residues from outside the octarepeat region (His96 and His111), and its mutants with two histidyl residues HuPrP(84-114)His85Ala, HuPrP(84-114) His96Ala, HuPrP(84-114)His111Ala and HuPrP(91-115) have been synthesised and their Cu2+ complexes studied by potentiometric and spectroscopic (UV/Vis, CD, EPR, ESI-MS) techniques. The results revealed a high Cu2+-binding affinity of all peptides, and the spectroscopic studies made it possible to clarify the coordination mode of the peptides in the different complex species. The imidazole nitrogen donor atoms of histidyl residues are the exclusive metal-binding sites below pH 5.5, and they have a preference for macrochelate structure formation. The deprotonation and metal-ion coordination of amide functions take place by increasing the pH; all of the histidines can be considered to be independent metal-binding sites in these species. As a consequence, di- and trinuclear complexes can be present even in equimolar samples of the metal ion and peptides, but the ratios of polynuclear species do not exceed the statistically expected ones; this excludes the possibility of cooperative Cu2+ binding. The species with a (N(im),N,N)-binding mode are favoured around pH 7, and their stability is enhanced by the macrochelation from another histidyl residue in the mononuclear complexes. The independence of the histidyl sites results in the existence of coordination isomers and the preference for metal binding follows the order of: His111>His96>His85. Deprotonation and metal-ion coordination of the third amide functions were detected in slightly alkaline solutions at each of the metal-binding sites; all had a (N(im),N,N,N)-coordination mode. Spectroscopic measurements also made it clear that the four lysyl amino groups of the peptides are not metal-binding sites in any cases. 相似文献

The prion proteins may play a critical role in copper homeostasis and the antioxidant activity in the brain. This review presents the state of art in the studies on Cu2+ prion systems. The proteins discussed are from different species from mammals to fishes. All proteins are His-rich and the research discussed clearly indicates the basic role of imidazole side chains and the adjacent amide nitrogen atoms in metal ion binding. Prions represent the family of proteins with new mode of Cu2+ binding which includes the amide nitrogen coordination. The multi-imidazole coordination is also likely and it can play a critical role in the antioxidant activity of the copper–prion complexes. The combination of the imidazole and amide nitrogen atoms to Cu2+ ions could also be relevant in histidine-rich peptide antibiotics including demegen. The impact of peptide sequence and His positions on copper binding ability is also discussed. 相似文献

Aminoboranes are synthesized in situ from the reaction of the corresponding lithium aminoborohydrides (LABs) with methyl iodide, trimethylsilylchloride (TMS-Cl), or benzyl chloride under ambient conditions. In hexanes, the reaction using methyl iodide produces aminoborane and methane, whereas in tetrahydro-furan (THF) this reaction produces amine-boranes (R1R2HN:BH3) as the major product. The reaction of iPr-LAB with TMS-Cl or benzyl chloride yields exclusively diisopropylaminoborane [BH2-N(iPr)2] in THF as well as in hexanes at 25 degrees C. Diisopropylaminoborane and dicyclohexylaminoborane exist as monomers due to the steric requirement of the alkyl group. All other aminoboranes studied are not sterically hindered enough to be monomers in solution, but instead exist as a mixture of monomers and dimers. The dimers are four-membered rings formed through boron-nitrogen coordination. In general aminoboranes are not hydroborating reagents. However, monomeric aminoboranes, such as BH2-N(iPr)2, can reduce nitriles in the presence of catalytic amounts of LiBH4. This BH2-N(iPr)2/LiBH4 reducing system also re-duces ketones, aldehydes, and esters. Diisopropylaminoborane, synthesized from iPr-LAB, can be converted into boronic acids by a palladium-catalyzed reaction with aryl bromides. Aminoboranes derived from heterocyclic amines, such as pyrrole, pyrazole, and imidazole, can be prepared by the direct reaction of borane/tetrahydrofuran (BH3:THF) with these heterocyclic amines. It has been reported that pyrazole-derived aminoborane forms a six-membered dimer through boron-nitrogen coordination, where as, pyrrolylborane forms a dimer through boron-hydrogen coordination. Pyrrolylborane monohydroborates both alkenes and alkynes at ambient temperatures. Hydroboration of styrene with pyrrolylborane followed by hydrolysis gives the corresponding boronic acid, 2-phenylethylboronic acid, in 40% yield. Similarly phenylacetylene is mono-hydroborated by pyrrolylborane, to give E-2-phenylethenylboronic acid in 50% yield. 相似文献

Experiments show changes in the carbon-oxygen bond lengths when a carboxylic acid dimerizes. To see how these changes are depicted in the electronic structure, a series of ab initio calculations have been made on monomeric and dimeric formic acid. Both systems have been examined through energy optimalization and through a Mulliken population analysis.The experimental changes can be qualitatively explained by the calculations, however, the quantitative agreement is not as good as desired.The calculations on monomeric formic acid give valuable information on the possibility of separately computing the different structural parameters. 相似文献

Treatment of the secoiridoids oleuropein (4), ligstroside (5) and methyloleoside (6) by beta-D-glucosidase in the presence of ammonium chloride led exclusively to monomeric pyridine alkaloids 7, 1, and 8. Dimeric 3,4,5-trisubstituted pyridines were obtained from methyloleoside (6) when ammonium chloride was generated in the reaction mixture by successive additions of ammonia and hydrochloric acid. The use of ammonium acetate permitted conversion of secoiridoids 4 and 5 into the naphthyridine alkaloid jasminine (3). 相似文献

Reaction of t-BuP(O)(OSiMe(3))(OH) with Me(3)Al leads to the formation of [Me(2)Al(mu-O)(2)P(OSiMe(3))(t-Bu)](2) (1) whereas Me(2)AlCl reacts with Ph(2)P(O)(OH) to yield [(Cl)(Me)Al(mu-O)(2)PPh(2)](2) (2). These compounds represent the first examples of functionalized dimeric four-ring type aluminophosphonate systems. The double four-ring type gallophosphonate, namely, [t-BuPO(3)GaMe](4), reacts with n-Bu(4)NHF(2) under ambient conditions, resulting in the formation of a monomeric gallophosphonate [n-Bu(4)N][MeGa[t-BuPO(2)(OH)](3)] (3). These derivatives have been adequately characterized using various spectroscopic techniques and X-ray diffraction studies. 相似文献

Sn(IV)-protoporphyrin IX (Sn-Pp) in aqueous media exists as a mixture of monomeric and dimeric species, which can be readily distinguished on the basis of their absorption maxima at around 410 and 386 nm respectively. Sn-Pp dimers prevail as the pH is decreased and are characterized by a lower fluorescence quantum yield, a larger tendency to undergo photobleaching and a reduced photosensitizing efficiency compared with the Sn-Pp monomer. The photosensitizing action of Sn-Pp appears to involve the intermediacy of singlet oxygen (1O2) as shown by photo-oxidation studies with N-acetyl-tryptophanamide in light and deuterated water solutions. Using 1,3-diphenyl-isobenzofuran as a substrate, the quantum yield of 1O2 generation by monomeric Sn-Pp was found to be about 0.6. 相似文献

The synthesis of monomeric and polymeric iron-1,5-disubstituted 2,4-dithiobiurets having the general empirical formula (FeCl3·L) where L = 1,5-diphenyl-2,4-dithiobiuret (DPDTB); 1,5-diparatelyl 2,4-dithiobiuret (DpTDTB); 1,5-diorthotolyl 2,4-dithiobiuret (DoTDTB); 1-phenyl 5-paratolyl-2,4-dithiobiuret (PpTDTB); 1-phenyl 5-orthotolyl 2,4-dithiobiuret (PoTDTB) is described. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductance, magnetic susceptibility, IR and UV spectra. The dielectric constant and resistivity of characterized samples were studied as a function of temperature. The data indicate possible transitions at 90 and 185°C for monomeric iron-complexes whereas polymeric iron-1,5-disubstituted-2,4-dithiobiuret shows no breaks. 相似文献
