Syntheses and characterization of doubly-bidentate bis(carboxyamide) complexes of oxomolybdenum(IV)

Summary Complexes of oxomolybdenum(IV) with doubly-bidentate bis(carboxyamide) ligands, derived by condensing benzidine (Bd) or p-phenylenediamine (PPD) with phthalic anhydride (PAH) and succinic anhydride (SAH), have been synthesized by phosphine oxo abstraction from dioxomolybdenum(VI) complexes via ligand displacement. The structures of the complexes were determined by elemental analyses, i.r. and electronic spectral data, cyclic voltammetry and thermal analysis.     

A facile and efficient method for the incorporation of multiple unnatural amino acids into a single protein

One stone, two birds: Here, we have developed a simple and efficient method for the incorporation of multiple unnatural amino acids in a single protein. This single protein exhibited two different novel functionalities acquired from the genetically incorporated unnatural amino acids, which is an interesting and not an inherent property of the protein.
