Biosynthesis of desosamine: construction of a new macrolide carrying a genetically designed sugar moiety

[formula: see text] The appended sugars in macrolide antibiotics are indispensable to the biological activities of these important drugs. In an effort to generate a set of novel macrolide derivatives, we have created a new analogue of methymycin and neomethymycin, antibiotics produced by Streptomyces venezuelae. This analogue 15 carrying a different sugar, D-quinovose, instead of D-desosamine, was constructed by taking advantage of targeted gene deletion combined with a specific pathway-independent C-3 reduction capability of the wild type S. venezuelae.     

A generalized sandwich theorem

It is proved for an arbitrary commutative ring A with identity and any integer n3 that if H is a subgroup of GL_n(A) normalized by E _n(A,q), then there is an ideal of A such that E _n(A,) H GL _n (A, (:q⁴⁰).Furthermore, is uniquely determined up to a certain equivalence relation on the set of ideals of A. The result extends a theorem of Bak, by removing a stability condition he uses on A.

L—半胱氨酸与铁镍锌铅离子配位反应的热力学

L—半胱氨酸(L—Cys)是蛋白质的降解产物之一,在体内除参与蛋白质的合成外,还参与毒物的解毒过程。本文用pH电位滴定法测定L—Cys同Fe~(2+)、Ni~(2+)、Zn~(2+)、Pb~(2+)形成配合物的稳定常数,以温度系数法获得配位反应的焓变,根据所得的热力学参数,对配位反应的推动力和配合物的结构进行讨论,并进一步用红外光谱和电子光谱对Pb~(2+)、Ni~(2+)两体系所得的结果予以证实。     

Synthesis, crystal structure and magnetic properties of a novel complex [Cu(NIT2Py)(PDA)(H2O)]·(CH3OH)(H2O)

A novel complex [Cu(NIT2Py)(PDA)(H₂O)]·(CH₃OH)(H₂O) has been synthesized and structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction methods. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/c. The structure consists of [Cu(NIT2Py)(PDA)(H₂O)] moiety, one solvent methanol molecule and one water molecule. The copper(II) ion is in a distorted octahedral environment: one nitrogen atom and one oxygen atom from the NIT2Py, one nitrogen atom from the PDA (2,6-pyridine dicarboxylic acid) and one oxygen atom from the aqueous in the basal plane; two oxygen atoms from the PDA in the axial position. The units of [Cu(NIT2Py)(PDA)(H₂O)] were connected as one dimension chain by the intermolecular hydrogen bonds. The complex exhibits intramolecular antiferromagnetic interactions between the Cu(II) ion and the NIT2Py.
