Enhanced β-turn conformational stability of tripeptides containing Δphe in cis over trans configuration
2013
Conformations of three pairs of dehydropeptides with the opposite configuration of the Delta Phe residue, Boc-Gly-Delta(Z/E)Phe-Phe-p-NA (Z- p -NA and E- p -NA), Boc-Gly-Delta(Z/E)Phe-Phe-OMe (Z-OMe and E-OMe), and Boc-Gly-Delta(Z/E)Phe-Phe-OH (Z-OH and E-OH) were compared on the basis of CD and NMR studies in MeOH, TFE, and DMSO. The CD results were used as the additional input data for the NMR-based calculations of the detailed solution conformations of the peptides. It was found that Z- p -NA, E- p -NA, Z-OMe, and Z-OH adopt the beta-turn conformations and E-OMe and E-OH are unordered. There are two overlapping type III beta-turns in Z- p -NA, type II' beta-turn in E- p -NA, and type II …
Impact of a Three Amino Acid Deletion in the CH2 Domain of Murine IgG1 on Fc-Associated Effector Functions
2008
Abstract Four murine IgG subclasses display markedly different Fc-associated effector functions because of their differential binding to three activating IgG Fc receptors (FcγRI, FcγRIII, and FcγRIV) and C1q. Previous analysis of IgG subclass switch variants of 34-3C anti-RBC monoclonal autoantibodies revealed that the IgG1 subclass, which binds only to FcγRIII and fails to activate complement, displayed the poorest pathogenic potential. This could be related to the presence of a three amino acid deletion at positions 233–235 in the CH2 domain uniquely found in this subclass. To address this question, IgG1 insertion and IgG2b deletion mutants at positions 233–235 of 34-3C anti-RBC Abs were …
STUDIES ON NORMAL AND DENERVATED SKELETAL MUSCLE CHROMATIN
1980
Publisher Summary This chapter presents studies on normal and denervated skeletal muscle chromatin. It has been reported that the inhibitors of RNA and protein synthesis can prevent the appearance of some biochemical modifications of muscle, generally induced by denervation. This observation suggests that the gene expression of muscle fiber is under motoneuron control. On the other hand, it is well known that in eukaryotic cells exists a close relationship between chromatin properties and the gene expression. In a study, some properties of normal and 7-days denervated muscle chromatin were investigated to establish whether the changes in protein metabolism in denervated skeletal muscle are …
Di- and Tri-organotin(IV) Complexes ofN-Acetyltriglycine andN-Benzoyltriglycine: Synthesis and Spectroscopic Characterization
1996
Di- and tri-organotin(IV) derivatives of N-acetyltriglycine and N-benzoyltriglycine (HA) were obtained by refluxing equimolar mixtures of the ligand and the organotin(IV) oxide or hydroxide in methanol or acetone. According to the spectroscopic data, triorganotin(IV) derivatives adopt a trigonal-bipyramidal structure in which the planar R 3 Sn IV unit is bonded by a monodentate carboxylate group and a donor group, presumably the amide C=O. The reaction of HA with the appropriate diorganotin(IV) compounds gave both dicarboxylates R 2 SnA 2 , with six-coordinated tin, and dimeric tetra-organodistannoxanes {[R 2 SnA] 2 O}2, in which the tin atoms are essentially five-coordinated.
Synthetic, structural and biochemical studies of polynuclear platinum(II) complexes with heterocyclic ligands.
2008
"Non-classical" di- and trinuclear Pt(II) complexes with polydentate nitrogen ligands; ionic [(PtCl(2))(2)(tptz)(2)(mu-PtClNCPh)]Cl (1) [tptz =2,4,6-tris(2-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine], [(PtCl(2))(2)(bptz)(2)(mu-Pt)]Cl(2) (2) [bptz = 3,6-bis(2-pyridyl)-1,2,4,5-tetrazine] and neutral [(PtCl(2))(2)(tptz)(2)(mu-PtCl(2))](H(2)O)(4) (3), [(PtCl(2))(2)(mu-tppz)](CHCl(3)) (4) [tppz = 2,3,5,6-tetra(2-pyridyl)pyrazine] complexes, have been prepared and structurally characterized. The neutral tptz and tppz complexes present three and two separate PtCl(2) moieties, respectively, in a cis position, presumably acting in a bifunctional mode towards DNA; the cationic tptz and bptz complexes contain monofuncti…
Polypyridyl-functionalizated alkynyl gold(i) metallaligands supported by tri- and tetradentate phosphanes
2017
A series of alkynyl gold(I) tri and tetratopic metallaligands of the type [Au3(CuC-R)3(μ3-triphosphane)] (R = 2,2'-bipyridin-5-yl or C10H7N2, 2,2':6',2''-terpyridin-4-yl or C15H10N3; triphosphane = 1,1,1-tris(diphenylphosphanyl) ethane or triphos, 1,3,5-tris(diphenylphosphanyl)benzene or triphosph) and [Au4(CuC-R)4 (μ4-tetraphosphane)] (R = C10H7N2, C15H10N3; tetraphosphane = tetrakis(diphenylphosphanylmethyl)methane or tetraphos, 1,2,3,5-tetrakis(diphenylphosphanyl)benzene or tpbz, tetrakis(diphenylphosphaneylmethyl)-1,2- ethylenediamine or dppeda) were obtained in moderate to good yields. All complexes could be prepared by a Q4 reaction between the alkynyl gold(I) polymeric species [Au(Cu…
Organometallic complexes with biological molecules. IX. Diorgano- and triorgano-tin(IV)[meso-tetra (4-sulfonatophenyl)porphinate] derivatives: solid-…
1997
Diorgano- and triorgano-tin(IV) derivatives of meso-tetra(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphine (H4TPPS) with general formula (R2Sn)2TPPS and (R3Sn)4TPPS (TPPS4−=[meso-tetra(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphinate]4−, R=Me, Bu, Ph) have been obtained and their solid-state configuration inferred on the basis of IR and Mossbauer spectroscopy, while solution-phase studies have been carried out by 1H and 13C NMR in DMSO-d6, together with determination of the in vivo cytotoxicity of the new derivatives towards embryonic development of Ciona intestinalis. In particular, octahedral and trigonal-bipyramidal eq-R3Sn polymeric configurations are proposed, in the solid state, respectively for (R2Sn)2TPPS and (R3Sn)4TPPS co…

One-Pot Synthesis of Trisubstituted 1,2-Amino Alcohols from Deprotonated α-Amino Nitriles
2008
A short synthesis of N,1,2-trisubstituted vicinal amino alcohols by 1,2-addition of deprotonated N-monosubstituted α-amino nitriles to aldehydes and subsequent one-pot reduction of the intermediates with borane–THF is described. This procedure leads to the predominant formation of the anti-configured products. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2008)
