An ultrathin, ordered, and packed protein film, consisting of the 2-mercaptoacetic acid (MAA), polydimethyldiallylammonium
chloride (PDDA), and wild-type (WT) photosynthetic reaction center (RC; termed as WT-RC) or its pheophytin (Phe)-replaced
counterpart (termed as Phe-RC), was fabricated by self-assembling technique onto gold electrode for facilitating the electron
transfer (ET) between RC and the electrode surface. Near-infrared (NIR)-visible (Vis) absorption and fluorescence (FL) emission
spectra revealed the influence of pigment substitution on the cofactors arrangement and excitation relaxation of the proteins,
respectively. Square wave voltammetry (SWV) and photoelectric tests were employed to systematically address the differences
between the WT-RC films and mutant ones on the direct and photo-induced ET. The electrochemical results demonstrated that
ET initiated by the oxidation of the primary donor (P) was obviously slowed down, and the formed P+ had more population as well as more positive redox potential in the Phe-RC films compared with those in the WT ones. The
photoelectrochemical results displayed the dramatically enhanced photoelectric performances of the mutant ones, further suggesting
the slow-down formation of final charge-separated state in Phe-RC. The functionalized protein films introduced in this paper
provided an efficient approach to sensitively probe the redox cofactors and ET differences resulting from only minor changes
in pigment arrangement in the pigment–protein complex. The favored ET process observed for the membrane proteins RC was potentially
valuable for a deep understanding of the multi-step biological ET process and development of versatile bioelectronic devices. 相似文献
The structure of the dimethylbenzylamine (DMBA)—phenylglyc idyl ether (PGE)—phenol complex was studied by IR and1H NMR spectroscopy under various conditions of its formation. The active catalyst in the cyclotrimerization of isocyanates is a complex of composition DMBA : PGE : PhOH = 1 : 1 : 2, in which the oxygen atom of the zwitter-ion PhCH2N+Me2CH2CH(O–)CH2OPh that forms after opening, of the epoxide cycle is bound to two phenol molecules by a very strong hydrogen bonds. In this complex, the oxygen atom of both the zwitter-ion and the phenolate anion can be catalytic centers. Two schemes of the cyclotrimerization of isocyanate in the presence of the aforementioned catalytic system are suggested, depending on whether the catalytic complex has time to form or not.For Part I, see Ref. 1.Deceased.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

The reaction of atomic radical F with propyne has been studied theoretically using ab initio quantum chemistry methods and
transition state theory. The potential energy surface was calculated at the CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVDZ (single-point) level using
the UMP2/6-311++G(d,p) optimized structures. Two reaction mechanisms including the addition–isomerization–elimination reaction
mechanism and the directed hydrogen abstraction reaction mechanism are considered. For the hydrogen abstraction reactions,
i.e., the most probable evolution pathway in the title reaction, the HF formation occurs via direct abstraction mechanism
dominantly and the H atom picked up by the atomic radical F should come mostly from the methyl group of normal propyne. On
the other hand, for the addition–isomerization–elimination mechanism, the most feasible pathway should be the atomic radical
F attacking on the C≡C triple bond in propyne (CH3C≡CH) to form a weakly-bound adduct A1 with no barrier, followed by F addition to the C≡C triple bond to form the low-lying
intermediate isomer 5. Subsequently, isomer 5 directly dissociates to P3 H2CCCHF + H via transition state TS5/P3. The other reaction pathways on the doublet PES are less competitive due to thermodynamical or kinetic factors. Furthermore,
based on the analysis of the kinetics of all channels through which the addition and abstraction reaction proceed, we expect
that the competitive power of reaction channels may vary with experimental conditions for the title reaction. The present
work will provide useful information for understanding the processes of atomic radical F reaction with other unsaturated hydrocarbons.

The diphosphate ester (ThDP) of thiamin (vitamin B1) is an important cofactor of enzymes within the carbohydrate metabolism. The initial reaction step shared by all ThDP-dependent enzymes is the deprotonation of the C2–H of the thiazolium ring. The replacement of the 4′-amino group by a hydroxyl one in the pyrimidine ring leads to the oxy-ThDP analogue which is known as an antagonist in thiamin catalysis.
Ab initio and DFT calculations on the MP2/6-31G* and B3LYP/6-31G* level were performed to study the proton relay function in thiamin and oxythiamin systems. Both MP2 and B3LYP calculations show significant differences of the reaction coordinate of the ylide formation in the systems. Tautomers, protonated and deprotonated species of both systems show different trends regarding their stability. The influence of correlation effects on the results is discussed by comparison with the HF-SCF/6-31G* data. Frequency calculations on the B3LYP/6-31G* level were performed to characterize the minima and transition state structures, respectively. 相似文献
We describe the redox behaviour in non-aqueous solvents of some cyclopentadienyl(oxo)titanium derivatives. The derivative [Ti4{η5-C5H4(SiMe3)}4(μ-O)6] shows an electrochemically and chemically reversible le reduction process, followed by a multi-electron, chemically complicated reduction at a fairly cathodic potential. On the basis of the overall electrochemical features and the comparison with the redox behaviour of the quasi-planar compound [[Ti{η5-C5H4(SiMe3)}Cl(μ-O)]4] we propose an EECCEE mechanism for the first derivative, where the second electron-transfer induces a cascade of chemical reactions giving rise to irreversible cluster breakdown. The electrochemically induced fragmentation can be viewed as a retrosynthetic pathway. The heterometallic derivative [{Ti(η5-C5H4Me)2(μ2-MoO4)2}2] shows two consecutive reduction processes; the first is chemically reversible, and the second quasi-reversible. The molybdate bridges apparently increase the stability of the electrogenerated anions. However none of these poly-oxo clusters can be considered as good models of electron ‘sinks’. 相似文献
