Calculation of binding energy differences for receptor–ligand systems using the Poisson-Boltzmann method

An approach using the finite difference solution of the Poisson-Boltzmann equation to estimate binding free energy changes for two receptor–ligand systems, arabinose binding protein and sulfate binding protein, is presented. The eight calculated binding free energy changes agree with experiment, showing a correlation coefficient of 0.92 and energy deviations of 1 kcal/mol or less. More importantly, the decomposition of solvation and assembly energies in this approach provides an understanding of binding mechanisms and therefore could suggest directions to alter binding affinities. The method is demonstrated to be useful in analyzing experimental binding structures and predicting binding effects of mutants or modified ligands for macromolecular systems, in which the electrostatic forces dominate the overall interaction and the structural perturbations upon modifications are small. © 1995 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

A comparative study on photo-induced electron transfer from fluorescein to anthraquinone and injection into colloidal TiO2

A dyad-anthraquinone-methyl ester of fluorescein-and its model compound-butyl ester-were synthesized. The effects of photo-induced electron transfer from fluorescein to an organic anthraquinone acceptor and injection into inorganic colloidal TiO(2) were studied respectively. It is found that the photo-induced electron transferring to an organic acceptor is much faster than injecting into inorganic colloidal particles when fluorescein was excited by visible light. While inorganic colloidal TiO(2) was excited by UV, the electron of fluorescein will inject into TiO(2).     

Electrochemical control of CO/NO ligand exchange in a triruthenium cluster monolayer assembled on a gold electrode surface

A highly selective ligand exchange reaction is realized in the self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of a triruthenium cluster on a gold electrode surface under precise electrochemical potential control. CO as well as NO molecules, which are known to play key roles in many chemical, biological, and environmental systems, can be efficiently introduced into the SAM by electrochemically tuning the electronic state of the Ru site. These unique surface reactions are more convenient and efficient than conventional ligand exchange reactions in solution and could be used for the elucidation of the electron-transfer mechanism in a biological system as well as in the development of molecular sensors and devices.

Sensitive HPLC-fluorometric and HPLC-MS determination of diarrhetic shellfish poisoning (SP)-toxins as 4-bromomethyl-7-methoxycoumarin esters

 Extracts containing the diarrhetic shellfish poisoning (DSP) toxins okadaic acid (OA), dinophysistoxin-2 (DTX₂), and dinophysistoxin-1 (DTX₁) were purified on a silica gel cartridge and derivatized with 4-bromomethyl-7 methoxycoumarin (BrMmc). After pre-column derivatization the BrMmc derivatives of the DSP toxins were directly injected into an HPLC system, isocratically eluted, and quantified by fluorescence detection. The signals of the esters showed good linearity in the fluorescence detector within the examined contamination range of 0.03 mg DSP/kg to 2.5 mg DSP/kg. The detection limits for the DSP toxins as 7-Mmc esters were 0.04 ng (corresponding to 0.05 mg DSP/kg). The chromatographic conditions allow to couple the HPLC device with mass spectrometry. The method was tested with various mussel tissue samples. Received: 14 December 1995/Revised: 26 January 1996/Accepted: 30 January 1996

In this paper, ring-opening polymerization of trimethylene carbonate (TMC) with rare earth (Nd, Y, La) p-tert-butylcalix[n]arene (n=4, 6, and 8) complexes as catalysts has been studied. Poly(trimethylene carbonate) (PTMC) with Mv of 21,400 was produced by bulk polymerization under the conditions as follows: [TMC]0/[Nd] (molar ratio)=1000,80℃,8h. Mechanism study reveals that the polymerization proceeds via a coordination mechanism.

Synthesis, characterization and luminescence study of dimethyl(β-ketoiminato)gallium (-indium) complexes: crystal structure of dimethyl[1-phenyl-3-N-(4-methoxyphenylimino)-1-butanonato]gallium

Six dimethylgallium (indium) complexes of type Me₂ML [M = Ga, L = 1-phenyl-3-N-(phenylimino)-1-butanonato (1), 1-phenyl-3-N-(p-methoxyphenylimino)-1-butanonato (2), 1-phenyl-3-N-(o-chloro phenylimino)-1-butanonato (3); M = In, L = 1-phenyl-3-N-(phenyl imino)-1-butanonato (4), 1-phenyl-3-N-(p-methoxyphenylimino)-1-butanonato (5), 1-phenyl-3-N-(o-chlorophenylimino)-1-butanonato (6)] have been synthesized by reaction of trimethylgallium (indium) with appropriate 1-phenyl-3-N-(arylimino)-1-butanones. The complexes obtained have been characterized by elemental analysis, ¹H NMR, IR and mass spectroscopy. Structure of 2 has been determined by X-ray single-crystal analysis, in which Ga atom is four coordinated. Complexes 1-6 emit colors from blue to green (463-491 nm) when irradiated by UV light. The electroluminescent (EL) properties of 1-6 were examined by fabricating EL devices using 1-6 as emitter, respectively. The EL bands are located in the green region (509-522 nm).
