Structural Characterization of O‐ and C‐Glycosylating Variants of the Landomycin Glycosyltransferase LanGT2

The structures of the O‐glycosyltransferase LanGT2 and the engineered, C? C bond‐forming variant LanGT2S8Ac show how the replacement of a single loop can change the functionality of the enzyme. Crystal structures of the enzymes in complex with a nonhydrolyzable nucleotide‐sugar analogue revealed that there is a conformational transition to create the binding sites for the aglycon substrate. This induced‐fit transition was explored by molecular docking experiments with various aglycon substrates.     

Surface Treatment of Polyimide Substrates Using Dielectric Barrier Discharge Reactors Based on L-Shaped Electrodes

Exploiting the 1,2,3‐Triazole Moiety to Generate Carbazole Molecular Architectures through Click Approach

Reaction of 3,6‐dichlorocarbazole with propargyl bromide in the presence of a basic medium gave an N‐propargylated carbazole. The latter compound was converted into molecular architectures containing 1,2,3‐triazole moiety through Cu(I)‐catalyzed 1,3‐cycloaddition reaction with different azides. Similarly, 2‐azidomethyl benzothiazole was cliched with N‐Boc‐protected N´‐propargyl glutamate to give the biomolecule 2‐triazolylmethyl product.
