In this paper, we describe the design and synthesis of a novel hybrid foldamer, derived from a conformationally constrained aliphatic-aromatic amino acid conjugate that adopts a well-defined, compact, three-dimensional structure, governed by a combined conformational restriction imposed by the individual amino acids from which the foldamer is composed. Conformational investigations confirmed the prevalence of a unique doubly bent conformation for the foldamer, in both solid and solution states, as evidenced from single crystal X-ray and 2D NOESY studies, respectively. The findings suggest that constrained aliphatic-aromatic amino acid conjugates offer new avenues for the de novo design of hybrid foldamers with distinctive structural architectures. Furthermore, the de novo design strategy disclosed herein has the potential for significantly augmenting the ‘tool-box’ of the modern day peptidomimetic chemist, as well as providing a novel approach to the field of rational design. 相似文献

Natural kaolinitic clay possessing transition metals such as Fe, Ti in its lattice has been found to catalyze efficiently the protection of a variety of alcohols with 2,3-dihydro-4H-pyran (DHP) and hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) at ambient conditions. 相似文献

Aryl glycosides have been prepared from a range of readily available glycosyl halides by a solvent-free mechanochemical procedure employing a planetary ball mill in excellent yields. Besides being a solvent-free reaction, the procedure has been successful in eliminating the need for employing any phase-transfer catalyst in the reaction. 相似文献

A simple, mild and efficient solvent-free method for the acetylation of carbohydrates, and their partially protected derivatives, as well as non-carbohydrate substances in excellent yields in the presence of 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) is described with the advantage of tolerance to various functional groups, short reaction time and ease of product isolation. 相似文献

Systematically modified octyl galactosides and octyl N-acetyllactosamines were assessed as inhibitors of, and substrates for, T. cruzi trans-sialidase (TcTS) in the context of exploring its acceptor substrate binding site. These studies show that TcTS, which catalyses the α-(2→3)-sialylation of non-reducing terminal β-galactose residues, is largely intolerant of substitution of the galactose 2 and 4 positions whereas substitution of the galactose 6 position is well tolerated. Further studies show that even the addition of a bulky sugar residue (glucose, galactose) does not impact negatively on TcTS binding and turnover, which highlights the potential of 'internal' 6-substituted galactose residues to serve as TcTS acceptor substrates. Results from screening a 93-membered thiogalactoside library highlight a number of structural features (notably imidazoles and indoles) that are worthy of further investigation in the context of TcTS inhibitor development. 相似文献

RNA recognition by proteins is often accompanied by significant changes in RNA dynamics in addition to conformational changes. However, there are very few studies which characterize the changes in molecular motions in RNA on protein binding. We present a quantitative (13)C NMR relaxation study of the changes in RNA dynamics in the pico-nanosecond time scale and micro-millisecond time scale resulting from interaction of the stem-loop SRE-RNA with the VTS1p-SAM domain. (13)C relaxation rates of the protonated carbons of the nucleotide base and anomeric carbons have been analyzed by employing the model-free formalism, for a fully (13)C/(15)N-labeled sample of the SRE-RNA in the free and protein-bound forms. In the free RNA, the nature of molecular motions are found to be distinctly different in the stem and the loop region. On binding to the protein, the nature of motions becomes more homogeneous throughout the RNA, with many residues showing increased flexibility at the aromatic carbon sites, while the anomeric carbon sites become more rigid. Surprisingly, we also observe indications of a slow collective motion of the RNA in the binding pocket of the protein. The observation of increased motions on binding is interesting in the context of growing evidence that binding does not always lead to motional restrictions and the resulting entropy gain could favor the free energy of association. 相似文献

UV-vis absorbance measurements and associated studies of cytochrome P450 BM-3 in complex with N-palmitoylglycine (NPG) indicate that a conformational change occurs in the active site of the complex where the terminal atoms of the ligand move from a site distant from the heme iron, as seen in the low temperature crystal structure to a site proximal to the heme iron at biological temperatures. We employ replica exchange molecular dynamics simulations to study this conformational change. The population of the proximal state is found to increase with temperature in agreement with UV-vis absorbance and NMR measurements. In addition to the conformations characterized by X-ray crystallography and computer modeling, this study shows that a new conformational state is significantly populated at room temperature. The observed increase in the population of conformations where the terminal atoms of NPG are proximal to the heme iron with increasing temperature indicates that the proximal state is stabilized by conformational entropy. A proposal for the origin of this entropic stabilization is provided on the basis of the structure of the newly identified state. We use the temperature weighted histogram (T-WHAM) method to characterize the transition state regions of the conformational ensemble and propose a mechanism of interconversion between these low free energy conformational states. 相似文献

Double-quantum heteronuclear local field NMR is performed on a sample of a 13C2-labeled disaccharide, in which the two 13C spins are located on opposite sides of the glycosidic linkage. The evolution of the double-quantum coherences is found to be consistent with the solid-state conformation of the molecule, as previously determined by X-ray diffraction. The dependence of the double-quantum evolution on the glycosidic torsional angles is examined by using a graphical molecular manipulation program interfaced to a numerical spin simulation module. 相似文献
