Absence of mutation at the GAP-related domain of the neurofibromatosis type 1 gene in sporadic neurofibrosarcomas and other bone and soft tissue sarc…
1995
The NF1 gene encodes neurofibromin, a GTPase-activating protein containing a GAP-related domain (NF1-GRD) that is capable of downregulating ras by stimulating ras intrinsic GTPase activity. We tested 44 sarcomas, nine of which corresponded to sporadic neurofibrosarcomas, for mutations at the NF1-GRD by the polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) technique, finding no mutation in every sample tested. We suggest that inactivation of the NF1-GRD by gene mutation seems not to be an important event in the tumorigenesis of sarcomas.

Methionine in a protein hydrophobic core drives tight interactions required for assembly of spider silk
2019
Web spiders connect silk proteins, so-called spidroins, into fibers of extraordinary toughness. The spidroin N-terminal domain (NTD) plays a pivotal role in this process: it polymerizes spidroins through a complex mechanism of dimerization. Here we analyze sequences of spidroin NTDs and find an unusually high content of the amino acid methionine. We simultaneously mutate all methionines present in the hydrophobic core of a spidroin NTD from a nursery web spider’s dragline silk to leucine. The mutated NTD is strongly stabilized and folds at the theoretical speed limit. The structure of the mutant is preserved, yet its ability to dimerize is substantially impaired. We find that side chains of…

Crystal structure of 2-[chloro(4-methoxyphenyl)methyl]-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-dione
2016
One of the methyl groups and the 4-methoxyphenyl substituent are in axial positions and the chloro(4-methoxyphenyl)methyl substituent is in the equatorial position of the cyclohexane ring which adopts a chair conformation. The packing features inversion-symmetric dimeric units and strands along [100] and [010] established by weak C—H⋯O and C—H⋯Cl contacts.
Crystal structure of 1-(2-fluorobenzoyl)-2,7-dimethoxynaphthalene
2014
The asymmetric unit of the compound contains two independent conformers. Each conformer is stacked along the a axis to form columns through van der Waals interactions only.
Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of 3-octyl-4-oxo-2,6-bis(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)piperidinium chloride
2018
The title compound was synthesized by a one-pot Mannich condensation reaction. In the crystal, centrosymmetric dimers are linked into layers parallel to (011) by N—H⋯Cl and C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds. A Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that O—H (20.5%) interactions make the largest contribution to the crystal packing.

The complex nickel(II) anion comprises a pseudomacrocyclic hydrazide-based ligand with an L shape. In the crystal, such anions are connected with the potassium cations and the water solvent molecules, forming a three-dimensional polymeric framework, which is stabilized by an extensive system of hydrogen bonds.
