Cell adhesion molecule in the hexactinellid Aphrocallistes vastus
1984
Abstract The Hexactinellida sponge Aphrocallistes vastus contains a soluble aggregation factor (AF) whose purification has been described in this communication. It is characterized by a S° 20.w value of 37 and a buoyant density of 1.45 g/cm 3 . The AF is a glycoporteinaceous particle composed of three major protein species; no core structure could be visualized. In the presence of Ca 2+ , the AF causes secondary aggregation of single cells. The aggregation process is temperature, pH, and ionic strength independent within a broad range. Evidence is presented indicating that two (or more) AF molecules are required for the establishment of a stable cell: cell interaction. In contrast to the AF…
Human neuroglobin: crystals and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis
2002
Neuroglobin, a recently discovered member of the haemoglobin superfamily, is primarily expressed in the brain of humans and other vertebrates, where it has been proposed to enhance O(2) supply in response to hypoxia or ischaemia, protecting the neuron from hypoxic injury. Neuroglobin is the first example of a vertebrate haemoglobin in which a hexacoordinate haem geometry has been detected. A triple mutant (replacing three Cys residues) of human neuroglobin (151 amino acids) has been expressed in Escherichia coli, purified and crystallized in two crystal forms, the best of which diffracts to 1.95 A resolution using synchrotron radiation. The crystals belong to space group P2(1), with unit-ce…
Expanding the 3d-4f heterometallic chemistry of the (py)2CO and pyCOpyCOpy ligands: structural, magnetic and Mössbauer spectroscopic studies of two F…
2011
Complex [Fe(II)Gd(III){pyCO(OEt)pyCOH(OEt)py}(3)](ClO(4))(2) (1) crystallizes in the Cc space group and contains one hexacoordinate ferrous ion and one enneacoordinate Gd(III) ion. Complex [Fe(2)(II)Gd(III){pyCO(OEt)py}(4)(NO(3))(H(2)O)][Gd(NO(3))(5)](0.5)(ClO(4)) (2) crystallizes in the C2/c space group and contains two hexacoordinate ferrous ions and one octacoordinate Gd(III) ion. Both complexes have been prepared by the metal-assisted ethanolysis of ligands di-2,6-(2-pyridylcarbonyl)pyridine (pyCOpyCOpy, dpcp) and di-2-pyridyl ketone ((py)(2)CO, dpk), which exhibit similar structures. Mössbauer spectroscopic studies of 2 revealed the presence of two quadrupole-split doublets of equal in…
Reliable and simple analytical methods for determination of citrulline and metabolically related amino acids by liquid chromatography after derivatiz…
2014
We describe the development of a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for the determination of citrulline and other amino acids relevant to intestinal diseases. The amino acids were derivatized with 9-fluorenylmethylchloroformate (FMOC-Cl) and their derivatives were separated on two different columns, a core-shell column (Halo C18) and a silica-based monolith (Chromolith Performance RP-18). The derivatization reaction was optimized with respect to pH, buffer concentration and reproducibility. The optimal derivatization conditions were achieved with 0.4 M borate buffer at pH 9.20, a constant ratio of FMOC-Cl/total amino acids (10 : 1) and 75 mM tyramine after 1 min (quenching…
Spin crossover in mononuclear and binuclear iron(III) complexes with pentadentate Schiff-base ligands
2000
Abstract A series of mononuclear hexacoordinate iron(III) complexes, [Fe( 5 L )(py)]BPh 4 , and binuclear hexacoordinate iron(III) complexes, [( 5 L )Fe(μ 2 -bpy)Fe( 5 L )](BPh 4 ) 2 , has been prepared and their magnetic properties were investigated; the pentadentate ligands were derivatives of 5 L =saldptn=N,N′-bis(2-hydroxybenzyliden)-1,7-diamino-4-azaheptane. Temperature variation of the effective magnetic moment for them shows that a spin transition from the low-spin to the high-spin state occurs. The magnetic data were fitted to an Ising-like model appropriate for the mono- and binuclear systems.
Macro-micro relationship in nanostructured functional composites
2012
This paper examines the results of the characterization of two functional composites: Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)-Ce:YAG (yttrium aluminium garnet doped with cerium) and PMMA-cobalt hexacyanoferrate (CoHCF). The composites were prepared as possible emitters in the fields of lighting thermal sensors. The prepared composites were char- acterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, thermogravi- metric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) analyses to study the correlation between micro and macro characteristics. We found that the molecular interactions of the two different fill…
Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of dimethyl (1R*, 3aS*, 3a(1)R*, 6aS*, 9R*, 9aS*)-3a(1),5,6,9a-tetrahydro-1H,4H,9H-1,3a:6a,9-diepoxy…
2019
The title diepoxyphenalene derivative, C17H18O6, comprises a fused cyclic system containing four five-membered rings (two dihydrofuran and two tetrahydrofuran) and one six-membered ring (cyclohexane). The five-membered dihydrofuran and tetrahydrofuran rings adopt envelope conformations, and the six-membered cyclohexane ring adopts a distorted chair conformation. Two methyl carboxylate groups occupy adjacent positions (2- and 3-) on a tetrahydrofuran ring. In the crystal, two pairs of C-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds link the molecules to form inversion dimers, enclosing two R-2(2)(6) ring motifs, that stack along the a-axis direction and are arranged in layers parallel …
Crystal structure ofcis-1-phenyl-8-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)dibenzo[1,2-c:2,1-h]-2,14-dioxa-8-aza-1-borabicyclo[4.4.0]deca-3,8-diene
2017
The present work describes the synthesis and crystal structure of the new B-phenyloxazaborocine, C26H23BN2O2. The title compound adopts a zwitterionic form with a significant intramolecular N→B dative bond and intermolecular C—H⋯O interactions connecting molecules parallel to the b axis.
Three phenanthroline-metal complexes with topologically similar but geometrically different conformations.
2016
Two out of the three very similar complexes described present twofold symmetry but not the third one, probably by way of a strong intramolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bond disrupting the symmetry, a fact which is analysed in detail.
A Side-by-Side Single Sex Age-Structured Human Population Dynamic Model: Exact Solution and Model Validation
2008
A side-by-side single sex age-structured population dynamic model is presented in this paper. The model consists of two coupled von Foerster-McKendrick-type quasi-linear partial differential equations, two initial conditions, and two boundary conditions. The state variables of the model are male and female population densities. The solutions of these partial differential equations provide explicit time and age dependence of the variables. The initial conditions define the male and female population densities at the initial time, while the boundary conditions compute the male and female births at zero-age by using fertility rates. The assumptions of the nontime-dependence of the death and fe…
