Influence of amino acid side chain packing on Fe-methionine coordination in thermostable cytochrome C

Paramagnetic NMR and optical studies of the oxidized forms of mesophile Pseudomonas aeruginosa cytochrome c(551) and its quintuple mutant (F7A/V13M/F34Y/E43Y/V78I), and thermophile Hydrogenobacter thermophilus cytochrome c(552) demonstrated that the amino acid side chain packings in the protein interior influence the coordination bond between the heme iron and the axial methionine in the proteins. The strength of heme axial coordinations was found to correlate with the overall protein thermostability.     

Controlled ring‐opening polymerization of propylene oxide catalyzed by double metal‐cyanide complex

A double metal‐cyanide catalyst based on Zn₃[Co(CN)₆]₂ was prepared. This catalyst is very effective for the ring‐opening polymerization of propylene oxide. Polyether polyols of moderate molecular weight having low unsaturation (<0.015 meq/g) can be prepared under mild conditions. The molecular weight of polymer is entirely controlled by a reacted monomer‐to‐initiator ratio. The polymers prepared with stepwise addition of monomer exhibit a narrower molecular weight distribution as compared with those prepared with one‐step addition of monomer. Various compounds containing active hydrogen, except basic compounds and low‐carbon carboxylic acid, may be used as initiators. The reaction rate increases with increasing catalyst amount and decreases with rising initiator concentration. Polymerization involves a rapid exchange reaction between the active species and the dormant species. It was also proven that, to a certain extent, the chain termination of this catalytic system is reversible or temporary. ¹³C NMR analysis showed that the polymer has a random distribution of the configurational sequences and head‐to‐tail regiosequence. It is assumed that the polymerization proceeds via a cationic coordination mechanism. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 40: 1142–1150, 2002     

Electronic gel protein transfer and identification using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-mass spectrometry

An electronic protein transfer technique is described for achieving the rapid and efficient recovery of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-protein complexes from polyacrylamide gels. This process involves the use of small-dimension capillaries in physical contact with a resolved protein band within the polyacrylamide gel, providing a large potential drop and high electric field strength at the capillary/gel interface. Several factors controlling the electronic protein transfer, including the applied electric field strength, the electrophoresis buffer concentration, and the capillary dimension, are studied to further enhance the use of field-amplification for sample stacking of extracted SDS-protein complexes. As a result of sample stacking, the extracted proteins from a 50 ng gel loading are present in a narrow ( approximately 80 nL) and highly concentrated (0.46 mg/mL or 3.3 x 10(-5) M for cytochrome c) solution plug. Three model proteins with molecular mass ranging from 14 kDa (cytochrome c) to 116 kDa (beta-galactosidase) are stained by Coomassie blue and electrophoretically extracted from gels with protein loadings as low as 50 ng. The capillary format of the electronic protein transfer technique allows direct deposition of extracted proteins onto a matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) target. Various matrices and solvent compositions are evaluated for the analysis of extracted and concentrated SDS-protein complexes using MALDI-MS. The electronic protein transfer technique, when operated under optimized conditions, is demonstrated for the effective (>70% recovery), speedy (less than 5 min), and sensitive MS identification of gel resolved proteins (as low as 50 ng).     

Synthesis of hollow spherical silica with MCM-41 mesoporous structure

Hollow spherical mesoporous silica was synthesized by using sodium silicate as a precursor and a low concentration of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) (0.154 mol dm^–3). The resulting hollow spherical particles were characterized with scanning electron microcopy (SEM), small-angle X-ray diffraction (SXRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and N₂ gas adsorption and desorption techniques. The results showed that regular spherical mesoporous silica could be obtained only if the molar ratio of propanol to CTAB was in the range of approximately 8:1–9:1. The spherical particles were hollow (inside), and the shell consisted of smaller particles with a pore structure of hexagonal symmetry. With an increase of the molar ratio of propanol to CTAB, the distance (a value) between centers of two adjacent pores increased, and the pore structure of mesoporous silica became less ordered. N₂ adsorption–desorption curves revealed type IV isotherms and H1 hysteresis loops; with an increase of the molar ratio of propanol to CTAB, the pore size with Barrett–Joyner–Halenda (BJH) diameter of the most probable distribution decreased, but the half peak width of the pore size distribution peak increased     

Study of a fluorescence quenching mechanism of enoxacin and its determination in human serum and urine samples

The maximum emission wavelength of dopamine is 317 nm with excitation at 290 nm. The relative fluorescence intensity of dopamine decreased in the presence of enoxacin, which showed that fluorescence quenching occurred. The Stern-Volmer (S-V) plot showed a nonlinear relationship between the relative fluorescence intensity of dopamine and the concentration of enoxain. The quenching mechanism was studied and the results suggested that both dynamic and static quenching processes were responsible for the observed positive deviation in the S-V plot. When the S-V plot was modified by logarithm, the linear relationship was obtained between logF ₀/F and C in the range of 0.10 to 13.0 μg/mL (where F ₀ is the relative fluorescence intensity of dopamine, F is the relative fluorescence intensity of dopamine in the presence of enoxacin, and C is the concentration of enoxacin). The fluorescence quenching method for the determination of enoxacin was developed. The linear regression equation of the calibration graph of enoxacin was C = 13.70 (logF ₀/F) − 0.5836, with the correlation coefficient 0.9984. The detection limit was 2.0 ng/mL and the relative standard deviation was 2.52%. The effects of pH, the stability of dopamine in the presence of enoxacin, and foreign ions on the determination of enoxacin have been examined. The recovery of enoxacin was from 94.9 to 103.0% in a human serum sample and from 94.9 to 108.0% in a urine sample. The method is simple, rapid, and can be used for the determination of enoxacin in human serum and urine samples with satisfactory results. The text was submitted by the authors in English.     

Highly Regioselective Sequential 1,1‐Dihydrosilylation of Terminal Aliphatic Alkynes with Primary Silanes

A regioselective double 1,1‐hydrosilylation of terminal aliphatic alkynes with primary silanes catalyzed by one cobalt catalyst has been developed. gem‐Bis(dihydrosilyl)alkanes containing four silicon‐hydrogen bonds are efficiently constructed in an atom‐economical manner. Tolerated substrates include simplest alkyne‐ethyne, a complicated drug derivative and various functionalized terminal aliphatic alkynes. Asymmetric approach using two catalysts is achieved with excellent enantioselectivities to access corresponding chiral products. The transformations of Si—H bonds into Si—C, Si—O, and Si—F bonds and the synthesis of enantioriched α‐hydroxysilane show synthetic utility.     

A Facile Method of Synthesis of a Calix[4]arene Amide and the Crystal Structure of a Self-assembled Calix[4]arene Amide via van Der Waals Interaction

A new facile method of synthesis of calix[4]arene amide via the aminolysis of the calix[4]arene esters was reported. One ethyl ester of the compound (2) was aminolysized byn-butylamine. The crystal structure of compound (1)shows that one ethyl ester of compound (1) enters into thecavity of another compound (1) forming a long chainhost-guest supramolecule. From the 2D NMR data, the compound(1) does not assemble in THF or CHCl₃ solution. The CH- interaction and crystallization energy might be theimportant driving forces for forming the self-assembledcalix[4]arene.
