Abundant n → π* interactions between adjacent backbone carbonyl groups, identified by statistical analysis of protein structures, are predicted to play an important role in dictating the structure of proteins. However, experimentally testing the prediction in proteins has been challenging due to the weak nature of this interaction. By amplifying the strength of the n → π* interaction via amino acid substitution and thioamide incorporation at a solvent exposed β-turn within the GB1 proteins and Pin 1 WW domain, we demonstrate that an n → π* interaction increases the structural stability of proteins by restricting the ϕ torsion angle. Our results also suggest that amino acid side-chain identity and its rotameric conformation play an important and decisive role in dictating the strength of an n → π* interaction.Amino acid residues adopt a right-handed α-helical conformation with increasing strength of the n → π* interaction. We also demonstrate a direct consequence of n → π* interactions on enhancing the structural stability of proteins. 相似文献

Noncovalent interactions play a pivotal role in regulating protein conformation, stability and dynamics. Among the quantum mechanical (QM) overlap-based noncovalent interactions, is the best understood with studies ranging from small molecules to -turns of model proteins such as GB1. However, these investigations do not explore the interplay between multiple overlap interactions in contributing to local structure and stability. In this work, we identify and characterize all noncovalent overlap interactions in the -turn, an important secondary structural element that facilitates the folding of a polypeptide chain. Invoking a QM framework of natural bond orbitals, we demonstrate the role of several additional interactions such as and that are energetically comparable to or larger than . We find that these interactions are sensitive to changes in the side chain of the residues in the -turn of GB1, suggesting that the may not be the only component in dictating -turn conformation and stability. Furthermore, a database search of and in the PDB reveals that they are prevalent in most proteins and have significant interaction energies (∼1 kcal/mol). This indicates that all overlap interactions must be taken into account to obtain a comprehensive picture of their contributions to protein structure and energetics. Lastly, based on the extent of QM overlaps and interaction energies, we propose geometric criteria using which these additional interactions can be efficiently tracked in broad database searches. 相似文献

A facile and practically applied protocol for synthesis of benzil derivatives using styrene and arene diazonium salts is reported. Pd(OAc)2/SeO2 catalytic system was found to be efficient for chemoselective synthesis of benzil. Selenium dioxide works well as an oxidant under milder reaction conditions. Moderate to very good yields of the desired products were obtained. 相似文献

Blends of cardanol-based bisbenzoxazine (BZc) and 4,4′-bisitaconimidodiphenyl ether (BIM) having nine different mass ratios (i.e. 100:0, 90:10, 75:25, 60:40, 50:50, 40:60, 25:75, 10:90 and 0:100) were prepared and their curing behaviour was studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. A curing mechanism comprising two-steps: (1) homopolymerization and co-curing reaction of itaconimide with alkyl side chain double bonds of cardanol BZc at lower temperature (~443 K) and (2) ring-opening polymerization of oxazine at higher temperature (~453–483 K) has been proposed. The T g of the cured resin blends was determined by DSC and the increase in BIM content in the blend resulted in an increase in T g from 408 K BZc to 474 K BIM. Increase in bisitaconimide content resulted in improvement of char yield at 1,073 K as well as an increase in mass loss temperatures (5 and 10 %). Compared to BZc, the blends showed a higher thermal stability. The lap shear strength of these blends in metal–metal joints was investigated at 323, 523 and 573 K. 相似文献

This article describes synthesis, characterization and properties of blends of benzoxazine (Bz) monomers, i.e., m-alkylphenyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-benzoxazine (Bz-C), 6,6′-(propane-2,2-diyl)bis(3-phenyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-benzoxazine (Bz-A) and 3-phenyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-benzoxazine-p-carboxylic acid (Bz-pA). Binary blends of Bz-C with Bz-pA, and Bz-A with Bz-pA were prepared by first synthesizing Bz-C or Bz-A followed by the addition of all the ingredients of Bz-pA. In a similar manner, ternary blends of Bz-C, Bz-A and Bz-pA were prepared by first synthesizing Bz-C and subsequent addition of all the ingredients of Bz-A and Bz-pA in one pot. The Bz monomer blends were characterized by 1H-NMR, FTIR spectroscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry. The temperature of onset of curing (T o), due to ring-opening polymerization of Bz was found to decrease significantly by incorporation of carboxyl groups (Bz-pA) showing thereby the catalytic effect of acid functionality. Bz polymers showed good thermal stability and incorporation of Bz-pA in blends resulted in a highly cross-linked network. The interlaminar shear strength of glass fabric reinforced composites and the lap shear strength of metal–metal joints using these resin blends was also investigated. 相似文献

A radiotracer investigation was carried out in a diesel hydrotreater (DHDT) unit in a refinery for leak detection in a breech-lock heat exchanger system. The main objectives of the study were to identify the leaking heat exchanger in a system with six heat exchangers and estimate the leak rate. Bromine-82 as dibromobiphenyl was selected and used as radiotracer for the investigation. The radiotracer was instantaneously injected into the suction end of the feed pump line to the heat exchanger of the DHDT unit. The movement of the tracer was measured at strategically selected locations using NaI(Tl) scintillation detectors. Based upon the results of the radiotracer investigation, it was found that out of six heat exchangers, exchanger E-1F was leaking. 相似文献

An ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method was developed, optimised and validated for the
quantification of synthetic folic acid (FA), also called pteroyl-l-glutamic acid or vitamin B9 and naturally occurring 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) found in folate-fortified breads. Optimised
sample preparation prior to analysis involved addition of 13C5 labelled internal standards, treatments with α-amylase and rat serum, solid-phase extraction using aromatic-selective cartridges
and ultra-filtration. Analytes were separated on a Waters ACQUITY HSS T3 column during a 6-min run and analysed by positive
ion electrospray selected reaction monitoring MS/MS. Standard calibration curves for the two analytes were linear over the
range of 0.018–14 μg FA/g of fresh bread (r
2 = 0.997) and 9.3–900 ng 5-MTHF/g of fresh bread (r
2 = 0.999). The absolute recoveries were 90% and 76% for FA and 5-MTHF, respectively. Intra-day coefficients of variation were
3% for FA and 18% for 5-MTHF. The limit of detection was 9.0 ng/g for FA and 4.3 ng/g for 5-MTHF, determined using pre-extracted
tapioca starch as the blank matrix. The assay is rugged, fast, accurate and sensitive, applicable to a variety of food matrices
and is capable of the detection and quantification of the naturally occurring low levels of 5-MTHF in wheat breads. The findings
of this study revealed that the FA range in Australian fortified breads was 79–110 μg/100 g of fresh bread and suggest that
the flour may not have the mandated FA fortification level (200–300 μg/100 g of flour), though this cannot be determined conclusively
from experimental bread data alone, as variable baking losses have been documented by other authors. 相似文献

In this paper we propose a model of HIV population through method of phases with non-Markovian evolution of immigration. The analysis leads to an explicit differential equations for the generating functions of the total population size. The detection process of antibodies (against the antigen of virus) is analysed and an explicit expression for the correlation functions are provided. A measure of bunching is also introduced for some particular choice of parameters. 相似文献
