Reductive activation of nitrate reductases

Protein film voltammetry of Paracoccus pantotrophus respiratory nitrate reductase (NarGH) and Synechococcus elongatus assimilatory nitrate reductase (NarB) shows that reductive activation of these enzymes may be required before steady state catalysis is observed. For NarGH complementary spectroscopic studies suggest a structural context for the activation. Catalytic protein film voltammetry at a range of temperatures has allowed quantitation of the activation energies for nitrate reduction. For NarGH with an operating potential of ca. 0.05 V the activation energy of ca. 35 kJ mol-1 is over twice that measured for NarB whose operating potential is ca. -0.35 V.     

Insights into the phosphoryl-transfer mechanism of cAMP-dependent protein kinase from quantum chemical calculations and molecular dynamics simulations

To investigate the molecular details of the phosphoryl-transfer mechanism catalyzed by cAMP-dependent protein kinase, we performed quantum mechanical (QM) calculations on a cluster model of the active site and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of a ternary complex of the protein with Mg(2)ATP and a 20-residue peptide substrate. Overall, our theoretical results confirm the participation of the conserved aspartic acid, Asp(166), as an acid/base catalyst in the reaction mechanism catalyzed by protein kinases. The MD simulation shows that the contact between the nucleophilic serine side chain and the carboxylate group of Asp(166) is short and dynamically stable, whereas the QM study indicates that an Asp(166)-assisted pathway is structurally and energetically feasible and is in agreement with previous experimental results.

Quinazolines and 1,4-benzodiazepines. XLVI. Photochemistry of nitrones and oxaziridines

The cyclic nitrones 7-chloro-1,3-dihydro-5-phenyl-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one 4-oxide ( 5a ) and 1,3-dihydro-7-methylthio-5-phenyl-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one 4-oxide ( 5b ) are photoisomerized to readily isolable oxaziridines, 7-chloro-4,5-epoxy-5-phenyl-1,3,4–5-tetrahydro-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one ( 6a ) and 4,5-epoxy-5-phenyl-1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-7-methylthio-2H-1,4-benzo-diazepin-2-one ( 6b ). Oxaziridine 6b upon further irradiation gave ring expansion and ring contraction products, 4,6-dihydro-2-phenyl-9-methylthio-5H-1,3,6-benzoxadiazocin-5-one ( 7b ) and 4-benzoyl-3,4-dihydro-6-methylthioquinoxalin-2(1H)-one ( 8b ) respectively. The ring contraction product, 4-benzoyl-6-chloro-3,4-dihydroquinoxalin-2(1H)-one ( 8a ), was obtained from irradiation of oxaziridine 6a .     

Optical-optical double-resonance spectroscopy of BaO: The low-lying states

Optical-optical double-resonance (OODR) induced photoluminescence into the lowest excited electronic states of BaO—a³Σ⁺, A¹Σ⁺, b³Π, and $\text{A′}{}^1\text{Π}$—from C¹Σ⁺ is described. These low-lying states are deperturbed to obtain spectroscopic constants and potential energy curves:

Hybrid microgels photoresponsive in the near-infrared spectral range   总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4  

Gorelikov I  Field LM  Kumacheva E 《Journal of the American Chemical Society》2004,126(49):15938-15939

We report for the first time a photothermally responsive composite material based on polymer microgel particles doped with gold nanorods. We used the dependence of the longitudinal surface plasmon of the gold nanorods on their aspect ratio to synthesize nanoparticles with strong absorption in the near-IR spectral range (in the "water window"). The nanoparticles were incorporated in the interior of temperature-responsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-acrylic acid) microgels. Upon irradiation at lambda = 810 nm, hybrid microgel particles doped with Au nanorods underwent a strong deswelling phase transition. These photothermally responsive microgels can be used to carry and release small molecules (e.g., small protein molecules and drugs).

The reduction of methylene blue by sulfide ion in the absence and presence of oxygen: Simulation of the methylene blue-O₂?HS^?-CSTR oscillations     

Peter Resch  F. W. Schneider  Richard J. Field  Mária Burger 《Reaction Kinetics and Catalysis Letters》1990,42(2):189-200

A mechanism is discussed which reproduces in simulations the oscillations during the methylene-blue catalyzed reduction of O₂ by HS^– in a continuous-flow, strirred tank reactor (CSTR). It contains 14 reactions and is based on experiments and simulations of simpler reactions including the reduction of MB⁺ by HS^– in the absence and presence of O₂ and the reactions of H₂O₂ and O₂ with HS^–. All experiments on component reactions as well as the CSTR oscillations can be simulated by the same set of reactions and rate constants. The major dynamic feature of the mechanism is the competition for MB^. by the oxidizing agents O₂ and H₂O₂ and the reducing agents HS^– and HS^.. The species MB^. is the radical intermediate between the colored (MB⁺) and colorless (MBH) forms of methylene blue.

Synthesis of the branched-chain sugar aceric acid: a unique component of the pectic polysaccharide rhamnogalacturonan-II     

Jones NA  Nepogodiev SA  MacDonald CJ  Hughes DL  Field RA 《The Journal of organic chemistry》2005,70(21):8556-8559

Described herein is the synthesis of 3-C-carboxy-5-deoxy-L-xylose (aceric acid), a rare branched-chain sugar found in the complex pectic polysaccharide rhamnogalacturonan-II. The key synthetic step in the construction of aceric acid was the stereoselective addition of 2-trimethylsilyl thiazole to 5-deoxy-1,2-O-isopropylidene-alpha-L-erythro-pentofuran-3-ulose (2), which was prepared from L-xylose. The thiazole group was efficiently converted into the required carboxyl group via conventional transformations. Aceric acid was also synthesized by dihydroxylation of a 3-C-methylene derivative of 2 followed by oxidation of the resulting hydroxylmethyl group. The C-2 epimer of aceric acid was also synthesized using thiazole addition chemistry, starting from L-arabinose.
