Facile syntheses, structural characterizations, and isomerization of disiloxane-1,3-diols

In the hydrolysis reaction of dichlorosilanes having an intramolecular coordinating atom, dcisiloxane-1,3-diols, [(OH){o-(CH₃)₂NCH₂-C₆H₄}RSi]₂O(R=CH₂CH (1), C₆H₅ (2), o-(CH₃)₂NCH₂C₆H₄ (3), Me (4)), were obtained in high yields. The results of the crystal structure analyses of meso-2, rac-2a, rac-2b and 3 are reported. They showed strong intramolecular hydrogen bondings between the hydroxy group and the nitrogen atom. We have also found that the diastereomeric isomerization of meso-2 to rac-2 in CDCl₃ solvent containing moisture occurred to result in the 55:45 equilibrium mixtures of the isomers and vice versa.     

Synthesis of chiral γ-lactones via a RuPHOX-Ru catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of aroylacrylic acids

An asymmetric hydrogenation of aroylacrylic acids catalyzed by RuPHOX-Ru catalyst has been developed, affording the corresponding chiral γ-lactones in high yields and with up to 93% ee. The methodology has the advantage of utilizing easily accessible substrates and has therefore expand the scope of the resulting chiral γ-lactones. Furthermore, high catalytic efficiency was achieved in that the reduction of both the CC and CO double bonds was achieved in one step. The current work provides an alternative and convenient pathway for the synthesis of a wide range of chiral γ-lactones.     

Preparation and mass spectrometric study of egg yolk antibody (IgY) against rabies virus

Rabies virus was used as the antigen to immunize laying chickens. Anti-rabies virus immunoglobulin Y(IgY) was isolated from yolks of the eggs laid by these chickens using a two-step salt precipitation and one-step gel filtration protocol. The purified IgY was reduced with dithiothreitol, and heavy chains (HC) and light chains (LC) were obtained. In addition, the purified IgY was digested with pepsin and the fragment with specific antigen binding properties (Fab) was produced. Using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOFMS), the average molecular weights of IgY, HC, LC, and Fab were determined as 167 250, 65 105, 18 660, and 45,359 Da, respectively. IgY has two structural differences compared with mammalian IgGs. First, the molecular weight of the heavy chain of IgY is larger than that of its mammalian counterpart, while the molecular weight of the light chain of IgY is smaller. Second, upon pepsin digestion, anti-rabies virus IgY is degraded into Fab, in contrast to mammalian IgG, which has been reported to be degraded into F(ab')(2) under the same conditions.

Oxidation of heme to beta- and delta-biliverdin by Pseudomonas aeruginosa heme oxygenase as a consequence of an unusual seating of the heme

The origin of the unusual regioselectivity of heme oxygenation, i.e. the oxidation of heme to delta-biliverdin (70%) and beta-biliverdin (30%), that is exhibited by heme oxygenase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa (pa-HO) has been studied by (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR, and resonance Raman spectroscopies. Whereas resonance Raman indicates that the heme-iron ligation in pa-HO is homologous to that observed in previously studied alpha-hydroxylating heme oxygenases, the NMR spectroscopic studies suggest that the heme in this enzyme is seated in a manner that is distinct from that observed for all other alpha-hydroxylating heme oxygenase enzymes for which a structure is known. In pa-HO, the heme is rotated in-plane approximately 110 degrees, so the delta-meso-carbon of the major orientational isomer is located within the HO-fold in the place where the alpha-hydroxylating enzymes typically place the alpha-meso-carbon. The unusual heme seating displayed by pa-HO places the heme propionates so that these groups point in the direction of the solvent-exposed heme edge and appears to originate in large part from the absence of stabilizing interactions between the polypeptide and the heme propionates, which are typically found in alpha-hydroxylating heme oxygenase enzymes. These interactions typically involve Lys-16 and Tyr-112, in Neisseriae meningitidis HO, and Lys-16 and Tyr-134, in human and rat HO-1. The corresponding residues in pa-HO are Asn-19 and Phe-117, respectively. In agreement with this hypothesis, we found that the Asn-19 Lys/Phe-117 Tyr double mutant of pa-HO exists as a mixture of molecules exhibiting two distinct heme seatings; one seating is identical to that exhibited by wild-type pa-HO, whereas the alternative seating is very similar to that typical of alpha-hydroxylating heme oxygenase enzymes and is related to the wild-type seating by approximately 110 degrees in-plane rotation of the heme. Furthermore, each of these heme seatings in the pa-HO double mutant gives rise to a subset of two heme isomeric orientations that are related to each other by 180 degrees rotation about the alpha-gamma-meso-axis. The coexistence of these molecules in solution, in the proportions suggested by the corresponding area under the peaks in the (1)H NMR spectrum, explains the unusual regioselectivity of heme oxygenation observed with the double mutant, which we found produces alpha- (55%), delta- (35%), and beta-biliverdin (10%). Alpha-biliverdin is obtained by oxidation of the heme seated similar to that of alpha-hydroxylating enzymes, whereas beta- and delta-biliverdin are formed from the oxidation of heme seated as in wild-type pa-HO.     

PVA／PVP共混物的聚集态结构

热处理前后不同组份比二元共混物聚乙烯醇(PVA)和聚乙烯吡咯烷酮(PVP)的聚集态结构研究表明,热处理可明显提高共混物的结晶性。热处理前样品仅观察到(101)晶面衍射,热处理后可观察到4个以上衍射晶面。结晶度和微晶大小随共混物中PVP含量增加而降低。第二类晶格畸变则随PVP含量增加而增大。

Ōtsukische Räume mit Einem Zweifach Rekurrenten Metrischen Grundtensor

In this note necessary and sufficient conditions are determined for Weyl—tsukispaces to have a birecurrent metric, i.e., _{m k} g _ij = _km g _ij . It is proved that in this space the metric tensor is an eigen-tensor. The special caseP _j ⁱ = (x) _j ⁱ is examined and we prove that in this case the recurrent metric tensor is likewise birecurrent.
