Hepatīta B kora antigēna veidoto vīrusveidīgo daļiņu modificēšana vakcīnu prototipa izstrādei

2017

DENV vakcīnu izveide balstās galvenokārt, izmantojot dzīvus novājinātus vīrusus. 2015. gadā tika reģistrēta pirmā tetravalenta novājināta denges vīrusa vakcīna. Kā drošāks vakcīnas veids ir subvienību vakcīnas. Daudzsološākais DENV antigēns subvienību vakcīnas izveidē ir apvalka proteīna III domēns. Lai palielinātu antigēna subvienības imunogenitāti, tiek izmantotas vīrusveidīgās daļiņas (VLP) kā svešu antigēnu nesēji. Tā kā VLP ir pašnereplicējošas, tās tiek uzskatītas par drošākiem kandidātiem vakcīnu izveidē, salīdzinot ar dzīviem novājinātiem vīrusiem. Maģistra darba mērķis bija iegūt 2. serotipa denges vīrusa apvalka III domēnu (DV2-III) prezentējošas mutantās HBc VLP. Pētījumā tika pā…

Theoretical Studies of the Reactivity of Cyclopentadienyl Nitrosyl Alkyl Species of Molybdenum and Tungsten

2000

International audience; The reactivity differences observed experimentally for Cp*W(NO)(CH2CMe3)2 and CpMo(NO)(CH2CMe3)2 have been investigated using density functional theory (DFT) techniques. The reactions of the CpW(NO)(CH2) model complex with NH3 and CH4 are more exothermic and have lower activation barriers than the corresponding processes for CpMo(NO)(CH2). The η2(C,H) methane complex CpM(NO)(CH2)(CH4) (M = Mo, W) can undergo two competitive processes:  C−H activation to afford CpM(NO)(CH3)2 or loss of methane. The relative barrier heights are almost identical for M = W, whereas the formation of CpM(NO)(CH3)2 is significantly disfavored for M = Mo. The activation of C−H and N−H bonds …

Generation and Oligomerization of N-Ferrocenyl Ketenimines via Open-Shell Intermediates

2016

In the presence of oxidant (Ag[SbF6]) and base, N-ferrocenyl thioamide Fc-NHC(S)CH3 (H-1; Fc = Fe(η5-C5H5)(η5-C5H4)) converts in an unexpected multistep reaction sequence to a novel N,S-heterocyclic ring, which initiates an oligomerization reaction. Key intermediates toward the resulting complicated material are Ag6(1)6 silver clusters of the anionic N,S-chelating ligand 1− and EPR-active piano stool complexes resulting from ring-slipped cyclopentadienyl ligands, as well as electrophilic N-ferrocenyl ketenimine Fc-N═C═CH2 (2) and its ferrocenium cation 2•+ formed by hydrosulfide elimination. Mechanistic insight is achieved using X-ray diffraction and mass spectrometry, as well as EPR and NM…

Characterization of the DNA-binding activity of the E1 and E2 proteins and the E1/E2 complex of human papillomavirus type 33.

1997

The E1 and E2 proteins of papillomaviruses are essential for the initiation of viral DNA replication. We have purified the E2 protein of human papillomavirus type 33 (HPV-33) by immunoaffinity chromatography. The purified E2 protein bound with high affinity to all four consensus binding sites of HPV-33 (Kd approximately equal to 2 x 10(-10)M). A putative E2 binding site differing at one position in the second stem of the palindrome was not bound by E2. The E1 protein of HPV-33 purified by affinity chromatography using glutathione S-transferase as tag displayed specific DNA-binding activity in footprint analyses protecting HPV-33 nucleotides 7896 to 7909/1 to 18 from DNasel digestion. Hypers…

Solution and fluorous phase synthesis of β,β-difluorinated 1-amino-1-cyclopentane carboxylic acid derivatives

2008

An efficient protocol for the preparation of β,β-difluorinated 1-amino-1-cyclopentane carboxylic acid derivatives was developed. 2,2-Difluro-4-phenyl-3-butenoic acid 6 was used as substrate for the preparation of the starting vinyl difluoro imino esters 8. The key steps of this methodology rely on the chemo- and diastereoselective addition of allylzinc bromides over the iminic functionality of 8 and subsequent RCM reaction. This synthetic sequence was successfully applied to fluorous synthesis.

Alkyl Complexes of Group 4 Metals Containing a Tridentate-Linked Amido−Cyclopentadienyl Ligand:  Synthesis, Structure, and Reactivity Including Ethyl…

1998

A series of group 4 metal complexes M(η5:η1:η1-C5Me4SiMe2NCH2CH2X)R2 (M = Ti; R = Me, CH2Ph; M = Zr, Hf; R = Me, Et, nPr, nBu, CH2Ph, CH2SiMe3, Ph) containing the tridentate-linked amido−tetramethy...

Chiral Lanthanocene Derivatives Containing Two Linked Amido−Cyclopentadienyl Ligands:  Heterobimetallic Structure and Lactone Polymerization Activity

1997

Reaction of 2 equiv of dilithium amido−cyclopentadienide Li2(C5R4SiMe2NCH2CH2X) (C5R4 = C5Me4, C5H3tBu; X = OMe, NMe2) with anhydrous LnCl3 (Ln = Y, Lu) gave C2-symmetric complexes of the type Li[Ln(η5:η1-C5R4SiMe2NCH2CH2X)2] containing a heterobimetallic core. The molecular structure of Li[Y(η5:η1-C5Me4SiMe2NCH2CH2OMe)2] was determined by single-crystal X-ray structural analysis, which showed it to exhibit both a pseudotetrahedral yttrium as well as a tetrahedral lithium center. In accordance with a formal 20-electron configuration at the rare earth metal center Ln, the amido-nitrogen atoms are shown to be pyramidalized. In the case of Li[Y(η5:η1-C5H3tBuSiMe2NCH2CH2X)2], mixtures of the tw…

Self-organized nanostructures of poly(4-vinylpyridine), polyaniline and polyamides due to metal complexation

2002

Comb-shaped supramolecules are constructed using flexible polymers and semi-rigid conjugated undoped or doped conjugated polymers upon complexing Zinc dodecyl benzene sulphonate, Zn(DBS) 2 . Self-organized nanostructures are formed in the bulk due to competing attractive interactions (coordination or water mediated hydrogen bonding) and repulsive polar/nonpolar interactions, showing characteristic long periods of ca. 30 A.

Fluorine-Containing Functionalized Cyclopentene Scaffolds Through Ring Contraction and Deoxofluorination of Various Substituted Cyclohexenes

2018

1984

Sedimentation coefficients of S of polystyrene covering a broad range of molecular weights M, are measured in toluene and 2-butanone in the semidilute regime. The results are compared with literature data using a plot of S · NA · η/(1 − νρ) = M · η/f versus concentration c, allowing experiments in different solvents of different density ρ and viscosity η to be compared (ν: partial specific volume of polymer; f: friction coefficient; NA: Avogadro number). According to scaling theory for concentrations higher than a critical concentration c, linear plots are to be expected. This is true for the theta-solvent cyclohexane, but for the theta-solvent cyclopentane as well as for the thermodynamica…
