Complete basis set B3LYP NMR calculations of CDCl3solvent's water fine spectral details
2008
The assignment of singlet at 1.55 ppm and the 1:1:1 triplet at 1.519 ppm to H2O and HOD in the 400 MHz 1H NMR spectrum of CDCl3 solvent were supported by complete basis set (CBS) GIAO-B3LYP calculated chemical shift and the CBS B3LYP estimated 2J(D,H) spin–spin coupling constant (SSCC). The CBS fitting of B3LYP/cc-pCVxZ and B3LYP/pcJ-n predicted SSCC values, the accurate value of 2J(D,H) = − 1.082 ± 0.030 Hz of HOD in chloroform-d1 and the H/D isotopic shift of 0.0307(1) ppm were reported for the first time. The agreement between CBS B3LYP predicted chemical shift, spin–spin values and experiment was good. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Multinuclear 1H, 13C and 15N NMR study of some substituted 2-amino-4-nitropyridines and their N-oxides.
2002
1H, 13C and 15N NMR chemical shift assignments based on pulsed field gradient selected PFG 1H,X (X = 15C and 15N) HMQC and HMBC experiments are reported for three 4-nitropyridine N-oxides and four 4-nitropyridines. It was found that an ortho effect of a methyl group inhibits the deshielding effect of the 4-nitro group and that this effect and the so-called back donation is influenced by electronegativity and position of substituents in the multisubstituted pyridine N-oxides. The shielding effect of N-oxide group is most pronounced in the 15N NMR chemical shifts of the studied compounds. This effect is further modified by methylamino, methylnitramino, 5- or 3-methyl and 4-nitro groups. Among…
Reversibly stable thiopolyplexes for intracellular delivery of genes.
2006
Novel polyaspartamide non-viral carriers for gene therapy were synthesized by introducing, on the same polymer backbone, positively charged groups, for electrostatic interactions with DNA, and thiol groups for the formation of disulfide bridges between polymer chains. The introduction of thiols was aimed to have a vector with low redox potential sensitivity: disulfide crosslinking in fact, being stable in extracellular environment, allowed either to have stable complexes in plasma, that can protect DNA from metabolism, or to be reduced inside the cell, where the excess of glutathion in reduced form maintains a low redox potential. The consequent destabilization of the complex after disulfid…
Spectral and microscopic study of self-assembly of novel cationic spermine amides of betulinic acid
2016
Supramolecular characteristics of two spermine amides of betulinic acid (1 and 2) were studied by measuring and evaluating their UV-VIS-NIR spectra in aqueous acetonitrile and DOSY-NMR spectra in tetradeuteromethanol, accompanied by atomic force microscopy (AFM) images, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) micrographs, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) micrographs. Fibrous supramolecular self-assembly of 1 and 2 was observed by AFM images, as well as by the SEM and TEM micrographs. Bathochromic shifts of the absorbance maximum at 870nm to 1015-970nm in the UV-VIS-NIR spectra were observed with increasing water content in the acetonitrile/water systems, indicating formation of fibrous…
Magnetism and Molecular Nonlinear Optical Second-Order Response Meet in a Spin Crossover Complex
2012
International audience; The quadratic hyperpolarizability of two inorganic Schiff base metal complexes which differ from each other by the nature of the central metal ion (FeII or ZnII) is estimated using hyper-Rayleigh light-scattering (HRS) measurements. The investigated FeII microcrystals exhibit a thermal spin-crossover (SCO) from a diamagnetic to a paramagnetic state centered at T1/2 = 233 K that can be reproduced by the HRS signal whose modest intensity is mainly due to their centrosymmetric packing structure. Diamagnetic ZnII microcrystals even lead to much weaker (∼400 times) HRS intensities which are in addition temperature-independent. These observations allow us to ascribe the ch…
High-elevational occurrence of two tick species, Ixodes ricinus and I. trianguliceps, at their northern distribution range
2021
Abstract Background During the last decades a northward and upward range shift has been observed among many organisms across different taxa. In the northern hemisphere, ticks have been observed to have increased their latitudinal and altitudinal range limit. However, the elevational expansion at its northern distribution range remains largely unstudied. In this study we investigated the altitudinal distribution of the exophilic Ixodes ricinus and endophilic I. trianguliceps on two mountain slopes in Norway by assessing larval infestation rates on bank voles (Myodes glareolus). Methods During 2017 and 2018, 1325 bank voles were captured during the spring, summer and autumn at ten trapping st…
Bainbridge-Ropers syndrome caused by loss-of-function variants in ASXL3: a recognizable condition
2016
International audience; Truncating ASXL3 mutations were first identified in 2013 by Bainbridge et al. as a cause of syndromic intellectual disability in four children with similar phenotypes using whole-exome sequencing. The clinical features - postulated by Bainbridge et al. to be overlapping with Bohring-Opitz syndrome - were developmental delay, severe feeding difficulties, failure to thrive and neurological abnormalities. This condition was included in OMIM as 'Bainbridge-Ropers syndrome' (BRPS, #615485). To date, a total of nine individuals with BRPS have been published in the literature in four reports (Bainbridge et al., Dinwiddie et al, Srivastava et al. and Hori et al.). In this re…
Domain-general neural correlates of dependency formation: Using complex tones to simulate language
2015
There is an ongoing debate whether the P600 event-related potential component following syntactic anomalies reflects syntactic processes per se, or if it is an instance of the P300, a domain-general ERP component associated with attention and cognitive reorientation. A direct comparison of both components is challenging because of the huge discrepancy in experimental designs and stimulus choice between language and ‘classic’ P300 experiments. In the present study, we develop a new approach to mimic the interplay of sequential position as well as categorical and relational information in natural language syntax (word category and agreement) in a non-linguistic target detection paradigm using…
SPRED1, a RAS MAPK pathway inhibitor that causes Legius syndrome, is a tumour suppressor downregulated in paediatric acute myeloblastic leukaemia
2013
Constitutional dominant loss-of-function mutations in the SPRED1 gene cause a rare phenotype referred as neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1)-like syndrome or Legius syndrome, consisted of multiple café-au-lait macules, axillary freckling, learning disabilities and macrocephaly. SPRED1 is a negative regulator of the RAS MAPK pathway and can interact with neurofibromin, the NF1 gene product. Individuals with NF1 have a higher risk of haematological malignancies. SPRED1 is highly expressed in haematopoietic cells and negatively regulates haematopoiesis. SPRED1 seemed to be a good candidate for leukaemia predisposition or transformation. We performed SPRED1 mutation screening and expression status i…
The genomic landscape of the Ewing Sarcoma family of tumors reveals recurrent STAG2 mutation.
2014
The Ewing sarcoma family of tumors (EFT) is a group of highly malignant small round blue cell tumors occurring in children and young adults. We report here the largest genomic survey to date of 101 EFT (65 tumors and 36 cell lines). Using a combination of whole genome sequencing and targeted sequencing approaches, we discover that EFT has a very low mutational burden (0.15 mutations/Mb) but frequent deleterious mutations in the cohesin complex subunit STAG2 (21.5% tumors, 44.4% cell lines), homozygous deletion of CDKN2A (13.8% and 50%) and mutations of TP53 (6.2% and 71.9%). We additionally note an increased prevalence of the BRCA2 K3326X polymorphism in EFT patient samples (7.3%) compared …
