    Notes: Folding type-specific secondary structure propensities of 20 naturally occurring amino acids have been derived from α-helical, β-sheet, α/β, and α+β proteins of known structures. These data show that each residue type of amino acids has intrinsic propensities in different regions of secondary structures for different folding types of proteins. Each of the folding types shows markedly different rank ordering, indicating folding type-specific effects on the secondary structure propensities of amino acids. Rigorous statistical tests have been made to validate the folding type-specific effects. It should be noted that α and β proteins have relatively small α-helices and β-strands forming propensities respectively compared with those of α+β and α/β proteins. This may suggest that, with more complex architectures than α and β proteins, α+β and α/β proteins require larger propensities to distinguish from interacting α-helices and β-strands. Our finding of folding type-specific secondary structure propensities suggests that sequence space accessible to each folding type may have differing features. Differing sequence space features might be constrained by topological requirement for each of the folding types. Almost all strong β-sheet forming residues are hydrophobic in character regardless of folding types, thus suggesting the hydrophobicities of side chains as a key determinant of β-sheet structures. In contrast, conformational entropy of side chains is a major determinant of the helical propensities of amino acids, although other interactions such as hydrophobicities and charged interactions cannot be neglected. These results will be helpful to protein design, class-based secondary structure prediction, and protein folding. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Biopoly 45: 35-49, 1998

    Notes: DNA branched junctions are analogues of Holliday junction recombination intermediates. Partially mobile junctions contain a limited amount of homology flanking the branch point. A partially mobile DNA branched junction has been incorporated into a synthetic double-stranded circular DNA molecule. The junction is flanked by four homologous nucleotide pairs, so that there are five possible locations for the branch point. Two opposite arms of the branched junction are joined to form the circular molecule, which contains 262 nucleotides to the base of the junction. This molecule represents a system whereby torque applied to the circular molecule can have an impact on the junction, by relocating its branch point. Ligation of the molecule produces two topoisomers; about 87% of the product is a relaxed molecule, and the rest is a molecule with one positive supercoil. The position of the branch point is assayed by cleaving the molecule with endonuclease VII. We find that the major site of the branch point in the relaxed topoisomer is at the maximally extruded position in the relaxed molecule. Upon the addition of ethidium, the major site of the branch point migrates to the minimally extruded position. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Biopoly 45: 69-83, 1998

    Notes: The relatively novel combination of flow field-flow fractionation (FFF) and multiangle light scattering (MALS) was employed to study a nondegraded κ-carrageenan in different 0.1M salt solutions. The applicability of the technique was tested, and the effects of salt type and salt composition on the molar mass and radius of gyration were studied. A conformational ordering was induced at room temperature by switching the solvent from 0.1M NaCl (coil form) to 0.1M NaI (helix form). An approximate doubling of the average molar mass and an increase in radius of gyration was then observed, in agreement with results obtained previously using size exclusion chromatography-MALS. This increase in size was attributed to conformational ordering and to the formation of double helices. Severe aggregation was observed above 40% CsI in the 0.1M mixed salt solution of CsI and NaI. This was ascribed to the association of helices into large aggregates. For these large associates, having molar masses of several millions, a reversal of the elution order in flow FFF was detected. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Biopoly 45: 85-96 1998

    Notes: In this article a conformational analysis of the D-alanyl-D-alanine dipeptide, both charged and neutral, has been carried out. The preferred conformations were determined by means of ab initio and semiempirical quantum, together with empirical force field calculations. The AMBER* force field and the 6-31 + G** and 6-31G** ab initio levels give rise to a coincident minimum energy structure, which, on the other hand, differs from that determined by AM1, 3-21 + G, and 3-21G. The solvent effect on the different charged and neutral conformations have been considered through the AMSOL semiempirical method. A quantification regarding the structural similarities between the different dipeptide conformations and the ampicillin has been performed. The results show that the best overlay is attained by the minimum structure energy obtained by using the 6-31 + G** methodology, which presents a planar amidic nitrogen. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The conformational behavior of different molecular weight fractions of a synthetic C6-oxidized derivative of cellulose were investigated by means of capillary viscometry, CD, and microcalorimetric measurements. Experiments were carried out in the presence of either monovalent or divalent counterions.The experimental data indicated that C6-oxidized cellulose can assume an ordered extended conformation at low ionic strength, induced by the intrachain repulsions of negative charges. This conformation was suggested to be very similar to the fully extended structure of cellulose. In addition to this, upon increasing the ionic strength, a conformational transition of the order-to-disorder type occurred. In fact, the screening of the electrostatic repulsions introduced a number of conformational kinks into the cellulosic backbone, which enabled the polymer to assume a more coiled conformation hence producing less viscous aqueous solutions. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Conformational stability of biological polyelectrolytes: Evaluation of enthalpy and entropy changes of conformational transitions (1998)

    Notes: A new method is proposed for the determination of the enthalpy and entropy changes of nonionic origin upon conformational transition of linear biopolyelectrolytes in solution. For all transition midpoints, defined by given temperature and ionic strength, the total free energy change of the system is zero, which means that the nonionic contribution to the free energy change is equal in value and opposite in sign to the polyelectrolytic one. The counterion condensation theory of linear polyelectrolytes provides for the appropriate analytical expression to be used in such calculations. Linear plots of the proper functions of the calculated free energy changes vs the proper functions of temperature allows for the determination of the enthalpic and entropic terms of the nonionic free energy change of transition.The method has been applied to the extensive available data of the ion-induced conformational change of κ-carrageenan, a linear sulfated galactan extracted from seaweeds. The method has proved very successful, with the results showing a remarkable convergency of the enthalpy values for different monovalent counterions. On the other hand, the above approach has made it possible to explain the known effect of counterion specificity on the transition by a small difference in the nonionic entropic contributions. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Ultraviolet resonance Raman (UVRR) spectra of H2O and D2O solutions of the nucleoside (dA, dG, dC, dT) and aromatic amino acid (Phe, Trp, Tyr) constituents of DNA viruses have been obtained with laser excitation wavelengths of 257, 244, 238, and 229 nm. Using the 981 cm-1 marker of Na2SO4 as an internal standard, Raman frequencies and scattering cross sections were evaluated for all prominent UVRR bands at each excitation wavelength. The results show that UVRR cross sections of both the nucleosides and amino acids are strongly dependent on excitation wavelength and constitute sensitive and selective probes of the residues. The results provide a library of UVRR marker bands for structural analysis of DNA viruses and other nucleoprotein assemblies. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Biopoly 45: 247-256, 1998

    Notes: The quaternary structure of Lumbricus terrestris hemoglobin was investigated by small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS). Based on the SAXS data from several independent experiments, a three-dimensional (3D) consensus model was established to simulate the solution structure of this complex protein at low resolution (about 3 nm) and to yield the particle dimensions. The model is built up from a large number of small spheres of different weights, a result of the two-step procedure used to calculate the SAXS model. It accounts for the arrangement of 12 subunits in a hexagonal bilayer structure and for an additional central unit of cylinder-like shape. This model provides an excellent fit of the experimental scattering curve of the protein up to h = 1 nm-1 and a nearly perfect fit of the experimental distance distribution function p(r) in the whole range. Scattering curves and p(r) functions were also calculated for low-resolution models based on 3D reconstructions obtained by cryoelectron microscopy (EM). The calculated functions of these models also provide a very good fit of the experimental scattering curve (even at h 〉 1 nm-1) and p(r) function, if hydration is taken into account and the original model coordinates are slightly rescaled. The comparison of models reveals that both the SAXS-based and the EM-based model lead to a similar simulation of the protein structure and to similar particle dimensions. The essential differences between the models concern the hexagonal bilayer arrangement (eclipsed in the SAXS model, one layer slightly rotated in the EM model), and the mass distribution, mainly on the surface and in the central part of the protein complex. © John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Conformations of the α-l-Rhap(1-2)-β-d-Glc1-OMe and β-d-Galp(1-3)-β-d-Glc1-OMe disaccharides and the branched title trisaccharide were examined in DMSO-d6 solution by 1H-nmr. The distance mapping procedure was based on rotating frame nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE) constraints involving C- and O-linked protons, and hydrogen-bond constraints manifested by the splitting of the OH nmr signals for partially deuteriated samples. An “isotopomer-selected NOE” method for the unequivocal identification of mutually hydrogen-bonded hydroxyl groups was suggested. The length of hydrogen bonds thus detected is considered the only one motionally nonaveraged nmr-derived constraint. Molecular mechanics and molecular dynamics methods were used to model the conformational properties of the studied oligosaccharides. Complex conformational search, relying on a regular Φ,Ψ-grid based scanning of the conformational space of the selected glycosidic linkage, combined with simultaneous modeling of different allowed orientations of the pendant groups and the third, neighboring sugar residue, has been carried out. Energy minimizations were performed for each member of the Φ,Ψ grid generated set of conformations. Conformational clustering has been done to group the minimized conformations into families with similar values of glycosidic torsion angles. Several stable syn and anti conformations were found for the 1→2 and 1→3 bonds in the studied disaccharides. Vicinal glycosylation affected strongly the occupancy of conformational states in both branches of the title trisaccharide. The preferred conformational family of the trisaccharide (with average Φ,Ψ values of 38°, 17° for the 1→2 and 48°, 1° for the 1→3 bond, respectively) was shown by nmr to be stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen bonding between the nonbonded Rha and Gal residues. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The present study was undertaken to examine the structural features that may be important to explain the immunogenicity of the (110-121) peptide sequence (FWRGDLVFDFQV) of VP3 capsid protein of hepatitis A virus. A conformational analysis of the preferred conformations by CD and molecular mechanics was carried out. Present results suggest that the interaction with liposomes as biomembrane model induces and stabilizes the amphipathic β-structure of the peptide.To study the contribution of amino acid replacements at the RGD tripeptide as well as the influence of the peptide chain length on peptide conformation, solid-phase peptide synthesis of several peptide analogs was carried out and the peptide conformation was studied using CD spectroscopy. The results show that the RGD sequence is necessary to induce the β-structure in the presence of liposomes. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Biopoly 45: 479-492, 1998

    Notes: The critical volume fractions pertaining to the formation of DNA liquid crystals were obtained from polarization microscopy, 31P-nmr, and phase separation experiments. The DNA length (approximately one to two times the persistence length 50 nm), ionic strength, and counterion variety dependencies are reported. The cholesteric-isotropic transition is interpreted in terms of the coexistence equations, which are derived from the solution free energy including orientational entropy and excluded volume effects. With the wormlike chain as reference system, the electrostatic contribution to the free energy is evaluated as a thermodynamic perturbation in the second virial approximation with a Debye-Hückel potential of mean force. The hard core contribution has been evaluated with scaled particle theory and/or a simple generalization of the Carnahan-Starling equation of state for hard spheres. For sufficiently high ionic strengths, the agreement is almost quantitative. At lower amounts of added salt deviations are observed, which are tentatively attributed to counterion screening effects. The contour length dependence agrees with a DNA persistence length 50 nm. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Biopoly 46: 31-37, 1998

    Notes: Gelation of gelatin under various conditions has been followed by atomic force microscopy (AFM) with the objective of understanding more fully the structure formed during the gelation process. AFM images were obtained of the structures formed from both the bulk sol and in surface films during the onset of gelation. While gelation occurred in the bulk sol, the extent of helix formation was monitored by measurements of optical rotation, and the molecular aggregation was imaged by AFM. Interfacial gelatin films formed at the air-water interface were also studied. Measurements of surface tension and surface rheology were made periodically and Langmuir-Blodgett films were drawn from the interface to allow AFM imaging of the structure of the interfacial layer as a function of time. Structural studies reveal that at low levels of helical content the gelatin molecules assemble into aggregates containing short segments of dimensions comparable to those expected for gelatin triple helices. With time larger fibrous structures appear whose dimensions suggest that they are bundles of triple helices. As gelation proceeds, the number density of fibers increases at the expense of the smaller aggregates, eventually assembling into a fibrous network. The gel structure appears to be sensitive to the thermal history, and this is particularly important in determining the structure and properties of the interfacial films. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: In this review I will outline several chemogenetic approaches used to determine the chemical basis of large ribozyme function and structure. The term chemogenetics was first used to describe site-specific functional group modification experiments in the analysis of DNA-protein interactions. Within the past few years equivalent experiments have been performed on large catalytic RNAs using both single-site substitution and interference mapping techniques with nucleotide analogues. While functional group mutagenesis is an important aspect of a chemogenetic approach, chemical correlates to genetic revertants and suppressors must also be realized for the genetic analogy to be intellectually valid and experimentally useful. Several examples of functional group revertants and suppressors have now been obtained within the Tetrahymena group I ribozyme. These experiments define an ensemble of tertiary hydrogen bonds that have made it possible to construct a detailed model of the ribozyme catalytic core. The model includes a functionally important monovalent metal ion binding site, a wobble-wobble receptor motif for helix-helix packing interactions, and a minor groove triple helix. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: In this review I discuss straightforward and general methods to modify nucleic acid structure with disulfide cross-links. A motivating factor in developing this chemistry was the notion that disulfide bonds would be excellent tools to probe the structure, dynamics, thermodynamics, folding, and function of DNA and RNA, much in the way that cystine cross-links have been used to study proteins. The chemistry described has been used to synthesize disulfide cross-linked hairpins and duplexes, higher order structures like triplexes, nonground-state conformations, and tRNAs. Since the cross-links form quantitatively by mild air oxidation and do not perturb either secondary or tertiary structure, this modification should prove quite useful for the study of nucleic acids. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Divalent cations, like magnesium, are crucial for the structural integrity and biological activity of RNA. In this article, we present a picture of how magnesium stabilizes a particular folded form of RNA. The overall stabilization of RNA by Mg2+ is given by the free energy of transferring RNA from a reference univalent salt solution to a mixed salt solution. This term has favorable energetic contributions from two distinct modes of binding: diffuse binding and site binding. In diffuse binding, fully hydrated Mg ions interact with the RNA via nonspecific long-range electrostatic interactions. In site binding, dehydrated Mg2+ interacts with anionic ligands specifically arranged by the RNA fold to act as coordinating ligands for the metal ion. Each of these modes has a strong coulombic contribution to binding; however, site binding is also characterized by substantial changes in ion solvation and other nonelectrostatic contributions. We will show how these energetic differences can be exploited to experimentally distinguish between these two classes of ions using analyses of binding polynomials. We survey a number of specific systems in which Mg2+-RNA interactions have been studied. In well-characterized systems such as certain tRNAs and some rRNA fragments these studies show that site-bound ions can play an important role in RNA stability. However, the crucial role of diffusely bound ions is also evident. We emphasize that diffuse binding can only be described rigorously by a model that accounts for long-range electrostatic forces. To fully understand the role of magnesium ions in RNA stability, theoretical models describing electrostatic forces in systems with complicated structures must be developed. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Trichorzianin TA VII, Ac0 U1 A2 A3 U4 J5 Q6 U7 U8 U9 S10 L11 U12 P13 V14 U15 I16 Q17 Q18 Fol19, is a nonadecapeptide member of the peptaibol antibiotics biosynthesized by Trichoderma soil fungi, which is characterized by a high proportion of the α,α-dialkylated amino acids, α-aminoisobutyric acid (Aib, U) and isovaline (Iva, J), an acetylated N-terminus and a C-terminal phenylalaninol (Pheol, Fol). The main interest in such peptides stems from their ability to interact with phospholipid bilayers and form voltage-dependent transmembrane channels in planar lipid bilayers. In order to provide insights into the lipid-peptide interaction promoting the voltage gating, the conformational study of TA VII in the presence of perdeuterated sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS-d25) micelles has been carried out. 1H sequential assignments have been performed with the use of two-dimensional homo- and -heteronuclear nmr techniques including double quantum filtered correlated spectroscopy, homonuclear Hartmann-Hahn, nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy, 1H-13C heteronuclear single quantum correlation, and heteronuclear multiple bond correlation. Conformational parameters, such as 3JNHCαH coupling constants, temperature coefficients of amide protons (Δδ/ΔTNH) and quantitative nuclear Overhauser enhancement data, lead to detailed structural information. Ninety-eight three-dimensional structures consistent with the nmr data were generated from 231 interproton distances and six Φ dihedral angle restraints, using restrained molecular dynamics and energy minimization calculations. The average rms deviation between the 98 refined structures and the energy-minimized average structure is 0.59 Å for the backbone atoms. The structure of trichorzianin TA VII associated with SDS micelles, as determined by these methods, is characterized by two right-handed helical segments involving residues 1-8 and 11-19, linked by a β-turn that leads to an angle about 90°-100° between the two helix axes; residues 18 and 19 at the end of the C-terminal helix exhibit multiple conformations. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The binding of 9-hydroxyellipticine to calf thymus DNA, poly[d(A-T)]2, and poly-[d(G-C)]2 has been studied in detail by means of CD, linear dichroism, resonance light scattering, and molecular dynamics. The transition moment polarizations of 9-hydroxyelliptiycine were determined in polyvinyl alcohol stretched film. Spectroscopic solution studies of the DNA/drug complex are combined with theoretical CD calculations using the final 50 ps of a series of molecular dynamics simulations as input. The spectroscopic data shows 9-hydroxyellipticine to adopt two main binding modes, one intercalative and the other a stacked binding mode involving the formation of drug oligomers in the DNA major groove. Analysis of the intercalated binding mode in poly[d(A-T)]2 suggests the 9-hydroxyellipticine hydroxyl group lies in the minor groove and hydrogen bonds to water with the pyridine ring protruding into the major groove. The stacked binding mode was examined using resonance light scattering and it was concluded that the drug was forming small oligomer stacks rather than extended aggregates. Reduced linear dichroism measurements suggested a binding geometry that precluded a minor groove binding mode where the plane of the drug makes a 45° angle with the plane of the bases. Thus it was concluded that the drug stacks in the major groove. No obvious differences in the mode of binding of 9-hydroxyellipticine were observed between different DNA sequences; however, the stacked binding mode appeared to be more favorable for calf thymus DNA and poly[d(G-C)]2 than for poly[d(A-T)]2, an observation that could be explained by the slightly greater steric hindrance of the poly[d(A-T)]2 major groove. A strong concentration dependence was observed for the two binding modes where intercalation is favored at very low drug load, with stacking interactions becoming more prominent as the drug concentration is increased. Even at DNA : drug mixing ratios of 70:1 the stacked binding mode was still important for GC-rich DNAs. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Biopoly 46: 127-143, 1998

    Notes: The surface properties at the air/water interface and the interaction of branched chain polymeric polypeptides with a general formula poly[Lys-(DL-Alam-X1)], where X = Π (AK), Ser (SAK), or Glu (EAK), with phospholipids were investigated. Polylysine derivatives with polycationic (SAK, AK) or amphoteric (EAK) were capable to spread and form stable monomolecular layers. The stability of monolayers at the air/water interface was dependent on the side-chain terminal amino acid residue of polymers and can be described by SAK 〈 AK 〈 EAK order. The area per amino acid residue values calculated from compression isotherms were in the same range as compared to those of linear poly-α-amino acids and proteins. Moreover, these polymers interact with phospholipid monomolecular layers composed of dipalmitoyl phosphatidyl choline (DPPC) or DPPC/PG (PG: phosphatidyl glycerol; 95/5, mol/mol). Data obtained from compression isotherms of phospholipids spread on aqueous polymer solutions at different initial surface pressure indicated that insertion into lipid monolayers for SAK or AK is more pronounced than for EAK. The interaction between branched polypeptides and phospholipid membranes was further investigated using lipid bilayers with DPPC/PG and fluorescent probes located either at the polar surface [1-(4-trimethylammonium-phenyl)-6-phenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (TMA-DPH) sodium anilino naphthalene sulfonate (ANS)] or within the hydrophobic core (DPH) of the liposome. Changes in fluorescence intensity and in polarization were observed when TMA-DPH or ANS, but not DPH were used. Comparative data also indicate that all three polymers interact only with the outer surface of the bilayer, but even the most marked penetration of polycationic polypeptide (SAK) did not result in alteration of the ordered state of the alkyl chains in the bilayer. Taken together, data obtained from mono- or bilayer experiments suggest that the interaction between branched polymers and phospholipids are highly dependent on the charge properties (Ser vs Glu) and on the identity (Ser vs Ala) of side-chain terminating amino acids. The binding of polymers to the model membranes could be mainly driven by electrostatic forces, but the significant role of hydrophilic properties in case of SAK cannot be excluded. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The relationship between the local backbone conformation and bond angles at Cα of symmetrically substituted Cα,α-dialkylated glycines (Cα,α-dimethylglycine or α-aminoisobutyric acid, Aib; Cα,α-diethylglycine, Deg; Cα,α-di-n-propylglycine, Dpg) has been investigated by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation adopting flat bottom harmonic potentials, instead of the usual harmonic restraints, for the Cα bond angles. The MD simulations show that the Cα bond angles are related to the local backbone conformation, irrespectively of the side-chain length of Aib, Deg, and Dpg residues. Moreover, the N-Cα-C′ (τ) angle is the most sensitive conformational parameter and, in the folded form, is always larger and more flexible than in the extended one. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Methionine ligation strategy in the biomimetic synthesis of parathyroid hormones (1998)

    Notes: In biological systems, both proteolysis and aminolysis of amide bonds produce activated intermediates through acyl transfer reactions either inter- or intramolecularly. Protein splicing is an illustrative example that proceeds through a series of catalyzed acyl transfer reactions and culminates at an O- or S-acyl intermediate. This intermediate leads to an uncatalyzed acyl migration to form an amide bond in the spliced product. A ligation method mimicking the uncatalyzed final steps in protein splicing has been developed utilizing the acyl transfer amide-bond feature for the blockwise coupling of unprotected, free peptide segments at methionine (Met). The latent thiol moiety of Met can be exploited using homocysteine at the α-amino terminal position of a free peptide for transthioesterification with another free peptide containing an α-thioester to give an S-acyl intermediate. A subsequent, proximity-driven S- to N-acyl migration of this acyl intermediate spontaneously rearranges to form a homocysteinyl amide bond. S-methylation with excess p-nitrobenezensulfonate yields Met at the ligation site. The methionine ligation is selective and orthogonal, and is usually completed within 4 h when performed at slightly basic pH and under strongly reductive conditions. No side reactions due to acylation were observed with any other α-amines of both peptide segments as seen in the synthesis of parathyroid hormone peptides. Furthermore, cyclic peptide can also be obtained through the same strategy by placing both homocysteine at the amino terminus and the thioester at the carboxyl terminus in an unprotected peptide precursor. These biomimetic ligation strategies hold promise for engineering novel peptides and proteins. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Biopoly 46: 319-327, 1998

    Notes: Boundary element methods are used to model the free solution electrophoretic mobility of short DNA fragments. The Stern surfaces of the DNA fragments are modeled as plated cylinders that reproduce translational and rotational diffusion constants. The solvent-accessible and ion-accessible surfaces are taken to be coincident with the Stern surface. The mobilities are computed by solving simultaneously the coupled Navier-Stokes, Poisson, and ion-transport equations. The equilibrium electrostatics are treated at the level of the full Poisson-Boltzmann equation and ion relaxation is included. For polyions as highly charged as short DNA fragments, ion relaxation is substantial. At .11 M KCl, the simulated mobilities of a 20 base pair DNA fragment are in excellent agreement with experiment. At .04 M Tris acetate, pH = 8.0, the simulated mobilities are about 10-15% higher than experimental values and this discrepancy is attributed to the relatively large size of the Tris counterion. The length dependence of the mobility at .11 M KCl is also investigated. Earlier mobility studies on lysozyme are reexamined in view of the present findings. In addition to electrophoretic mobilities, the effective polyion charge measured in steady state electrophoresis and its relationship to the preferential interaction parameter γgG is briefly considered. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The utility of the average Boltzmann factor around the active site of an enzyme as the predictor of the electrostatic enhancement of the substrate binding rate is tested on a set of data on wild-type acetylcholinesterase and 18 charge mutants recently obtained by Brownian dynamics simulations. A good correlation between the average Boltzmann factors and the substrate binding rate constants is found. The effects of single charge mutations on both the Boltzmann factor and the substrate binding rate constant are modest, i.e., 〈5 fold increase or decrease. This is consistent with the experimental results of Shafferman et al. but does not support their suggestion that the overall rate of the catalytic reaction is not limited by the diffusional encounter of acetylcholinesterase and its substrate. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: To create ion channel function by synthetic peptides is a challenge in the de novo design of artificial membrane proteins. Amphiphilic α-helical motifs of ∼ 20 amino acid residues to span lipid bilayers are most often used for the creation of peptide ion channels. Template molecules to tether helical peptides have been employed to obtain more organized pore structures. Approaches to form molecular assembly of peptides in the membranes by hydrogen bonding have been also investigated. We have developed approaches to assemble helices with individual amino acid sequences to construct artificial helical proteins. Using one of these approaches, four helices corresponding to the voltage sensor segments (S4 in repeat I-IV) of the sodium channel were assembled on a peptide template to give a protein having ion channel activity with rectification. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Collagen peptidomimetics have been synthesized as an alternative to natural collagen. The incorporation of unnatural residues such as peptoids in the collagen sequences can demonstrate potent and specific biological activity and enhance the biostability against enzymatic degradation. Furthermore, the use of achiral peptoids simplifies synthetic strategies by reducing racemization problems. The peptoid residue N-isobutylglycine (Nleu) has been successfully incorporated into a series of collagen mimetics composed of Gly-Pro-Nleu, Gly-Nleu-Pro, and Gly-Nleu-Nleu. The discovery of template-assembled collagen mimetics and metal binding ability has laid the foundation for new opportunities in the design of novel collagen mimetic complexes. This review summarizes the synthesis and integrated biophysical analyses of the structures of these collagen mimetics. Solid phase segment condensation techniques have been utilized for the synthesis of the single chain and template-assembled analogues. The characterization of the collagen-like structures has been established by temperature-dependent optical rotation measurements, CD, NMR spectroscopy, and molecular modelling simulations. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The electrostatically driven Monte Carlo (EDMC) method has been greatly improved by adding a series of new features, including a procedure for cluster analysis of the accepted conformations. This information is used to guide the search for the global energy minimum. Alternative procedures for generating perturbed conformations to sample the conformational space were also included. These procedures enhance the efficiency of the method by generating a larger number of low-energy conformations.The improved EDMC method has been used to explore the conformational space of a 20-residue polypeptide chain whose sequence corresponds to the membrane-bound portion of melittin. The ECEPP/3 (Empirical Conformational Energy Program for Peptides) algorithm was used to describe the conformational energy of the chain. After an exhaustive search involving 14 independent runs, the lowest energy conformation (LEC) (-91.0 kcal/mol) of the entire study was encountered in four of the runs, while conformations higher in energy by no more than 1.8 kcal/mol were found in the remaining runs with the exception of one of them (run 8). The LEC is identical to the conformation found recently by J. Lee, H.A. Scheraga, and S. Rackovsky [(1998) “Conformational Analysis of the 20-Residue Membrane-Bound Portion of Melittin by Conformational Space Annealing,” Biopolymers, Vol. 46, pp. 103-115] as the lowest energy conformation obtained in their study using the conformational space annealing method. These results suggest that this conformation corresponds to the global energy minimum of the ECEPP/3 potential function for this specific sequence; it also appears to be the conformation of lowest free energy. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: We determined quantitatively the band broadening effect during gel electrophoresis by measuring the longitudinal dispersion coefficient Dx, with a fluorescence recovery after photobleaching setup, coupled to an electrophoretic cell. We carried out measurements as a function of the electric field, the average pore size, and the molecular length of DNA fragments. Our results are in good agreement with the predictions of the biased reptation model with fluctuations described by T. A. Duke et al. [(1992) Physics Review Letters, vol. 69, pp. 3260-3263]. This agreement is observed on single-stranded DNA [persistence length ≅ 4 nm; B. Tinland et al. (1997) Macromolecules, vol. 30, pp. 5763-5765] in polyacrylamide gels and on double-stranded DNA (persistence length ≅ 50 nm) in agarose gels, two systems where the ratio between the average pore size and the Kuhn length is larger than 1. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Four 1.5 ns molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed on the d(GCTATAAAAGGG) · d(CCCTTTTATAGC) double helix dodecamer bearing the Adenovirus major late promoter TATA element and three iso-composition mutants for which physical and biochemical data are available from the same laboratory. Three of these DNA sequences experimentally induce tight binding with the TATA box binding protein (TBP) and induce high transcription rates; the other DNA sequence induces much lower TBP binding and transcription. The x-ray crystal structures have previously shown that the duplex DNA in DNA-TBP complexes are highly bent. We performed and analyzed MD simulations for these four DNAs, whose experimental structures are not available, in order to address the issue of whether inherent DNA structure and flexibility play a role in establishing these observed preferences. A comparison of the experimental and simulated results demonstrated that DNA duplex sequence-dependent curvature and flexibility play a significant role in TBP recognition, binding, and transcriptional activation. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The solution conformation of a number of small, linear alanine oligomers was investigated via ir (or vibrational) CD (VCD). We find that these oligopeptides assume distinct solution conformations that depend primarily on chain lengths, and to a lesser degree on temperature, ionic strength, and pH. As expected, the longer chain oligomers exhibit more distinct VCD features and, presumably, more stable solution structures. At the level of the hexamer, however, aggregation of the peptide occurs. The fast time scale of VCD allows solution structures to be detected that may not be observable using slower techniques such as various forms of nmr spectroscopy. The VCD results reported here confirm that it is generally possible to obtain conformational information for small, linear homo- and heterooligopeptides via VCD spectroscopy. In this respect, the sensitivity of VCD is similar to that of electronic CD. Furthermore, the temperature dependence of the VCD results indicate that at elevated temperatures, the increasing number of conformational states results in a loss of discernible conformers, and consequently, a broadening and weakening of the VCD features. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The present paper highlights and reviews current research in the field of hemoprotein models. Hemoproteins have been extensively studied in order to understand structure-function relationships, and to design new molecules with desired functions. A wide number of synthetic analogues have been developed, using quite different approaches. They differ in molecular structures, ranging from simple meso-substituted tetraaryl-metalloporphyrins and peptide-porphyrin conjugates.In this paper we summarize the state of the art on peptide based hemoprotein models. We also report here the approach used by us to develop a new class of molecules, named mimochromes. They can be regarded as miniaturized hemoproteins, because mimochromes are low molecular weight compounds with some structural and functional properties common to those of the parent high molecular weight protein. The basic structure of mimochromes is a deuteroporphyrin ring covalently linked to two helical peptide chains. Two molecules of this series have been fully characterized. All the information derived from their structural analysis has been applied to the design of new analogues with additional functions. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Biopoly 47: 5-22, 1998

    Topics: Chemistry and Pharmacology
    Notes: We have studied electrostatic properties of DNA with a discrete charge model consisting of a cylindrical dielectric core with a radius of 8 Å and a dielectric constant Di = 4, surrounded by two helical strings of phosphate point charges at 10 Å from the axis, immersed in an aqueous medium with dielectric constant Dw = 78.54. Eliminating the dielectric core makes potentials in the phosphate surface less negative by about 0.5 kT/e. Salt effects are evaluated for the model without a dielectric core, using the shielded Coulomb potential. Smearing the phosphate charges increases their potential by about 2.5 kT/e, due mostly to the self-potential of the smeared charge. Potentials in the center of the minor and major grooves vary less than 0.02 kT/e along their helical path. The potential in the center of the minor groove is from 1.0 to 1.7 kT/e, more negative than in the center of the major groove, depending on dielectric core and salt concentration. So multivalent cations and also larger cationic ligands, such as some antibiotics, are likely to adsorb in the minor groove, in agreement with earlier computations by A. and B. Pullman. Dielectric effects on the surface potential and the local potential variations are found to be relatively small. Bending of DNA is studied by placing a multivalent cation, MZ+, in the center of the minor or major groove, curving DNA around it for a certain length, and calculating the free energy difference between the bent and the straight configuration. Boltzmann averaged bending angles, 〈β〉, are found to be maximal in 0.03M monovalent salt, for a length of about 50 or 25 Å of curved DNA when an MZ+ ion is adsorbed in the minor or the major groove, respectively. When the dielectric constant of water is used throughout the calculation, we find maximal bends of 〈β〉 = 11° for M2+ and 〈β〉 = 16° for M3+ in the minor groove, 〈β〉 = 13° for M3+ in the major groove. The absence of bends in DNA adsorbed to mica in the presence of Mg salts supports the role of Mg2+ in “ion bridging” between DNA and mica. The treatment of the effective dielectric constant between two points outside a dielectric cylinder in water is appended. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Biopoly 46: 503-516, 1998

    Notes: The ultimate goal in protein de novo design is the creation of novel macromolecules with tailor-made receptor, sensory, and catalytic functions. Despite considerable progress in understanding basic rules of secondary structure formation and protein stability, the well-known protein folding problem is still far from being solved and, in general, only a limited number of designed proteins are folded uniquely. In this article the state-of-the-art in protein design is demonstrated on some selected examples, indicating that the construction of protein-like macromolecules mimicking some essential features of natural proteins seems to be within reach. Thus, protein design and mimicry has become an interdisciplinary challenge with most intriguing perspectives. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Biopoly 47: 63-73, 1998

    Mode of action of linear amphipathic α-helical antimicrobial peptides (1998)

    Notes: The increasing resistance of bacteria to conventional antibiotics resulted in a strong effort to develop antimicrobial compounds with new mechanisms of action. Antimicrobial peptides seem to be a promising solution to this problem. Many studies aimed at understanding their mode of action were described in the past few years. The most studied group includes the linear, mostly α-helical peptides. Although the exact mechanism by which they kill bacteria is not clearly understood, it has been shown that peptide-lipid interactions leading to membrane permeation play a role in their activity. Membrane permeation by amphipathic α-helical peptides can proceed via either one of the two mechanisms: (a) transmembrane pore formation via a “barrel-stave” mechanism; and (b) membrane destruction/solubilization via a “carpet-like” mechanism. The purpose of this review is to summarize recent studies aimed at understanding the mode of action of linear α-helical antimicrobial peptides. This review, which is focused on magainins, cecropins, and dermaseptins as representatives of the amphipathic α-helical antimicrobial peptides, supports the carpet-like rather the barrel-stave mechanism. That these peptides vary with regard to their length, amino acid composition, and net positive charge, but act via a common mechanism, may imply that other linear antimicrobial peptides that share the same properties also share the same mechanism. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: In this manuscript the catalytic ability of RNA is examined and compared to other biopolymers. Despite having considerably fewer catalytically enabling properties when compared to proteins, the power of in vitro selection has allowed for RNA and DNA catalysts to be isolated. RNA catalysis has been expanded by incorporating modified bases to enrich the structural and functional diversity of RNA. Successful examples of new RNA chemistry using base modifications include carbon-carbon bond forming reactions and creation of highly specific active sites that are capable of recognizing small organic molecules without the need for nucleic acid templating or intercalation. In fact, the scope of functional modifications available for use in the RNA platform may eventually surpass those that are found in proteins and there are already hints that well chosen modifications allow nucleic acid catalysts to take advantage of mechanisms not available to selected protein catalysts for similar reactions. The chemical versatility of RNA is just emerging and future research directions will likely entail more creative methods for functional modification that will lead to new catalysts. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Recently, several high-resolution structures of RNA pseudoknots have become available. Here we review the progress in this area. The majority of the structures obtained belong to the classical or H-type pseudoknot family. The most complicated pseudoknot structure elucidated so far is the Hepatitis Delta Virus ribozyme, which forms a nested double pseudoknot. In particular, the structure-function relationships of the H-type pseudoknots involved in translational frameshifting have received much attention. All molecules considered show interesting new structural motifs. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Biopoly 48: 137-153, 1998

    Notes: To get informations on both the structure and dynamics of hydrogen chelates 1 of heteroaromatic systems, a great variety of quinazoline-2-acetonitrile chelates were synthesized (see 2-4). Similarly to the situation of the corresponding H-chelates in the pyrimidine-2-acetonitrile series, the investigation of these new derivatives 2-4 by NMR spectroscopic methods (DNMR, COSY, NOESY, ROESY, EXSY, HMQC, HMBC) confirms the presence of an equilibrium of the two possible H-chelate structures (two ‘rotamers’ I and II, i.e., (E)/(Z) isomers; see Scheme). The corresponding equilibria I ⇌ II were determined by complete 1H-NMR signal assignment at low temperatures (after freezing the rotational processes). In addition, the tautomer equilibria A ⇌ B (relative energies of the two minima of the nonsymmetrical double-well potential) for both ‘rotamers’ are ascertained by H,H and C,H couplings. The results are an important basis for the interpretation of both the UV/VIS absorptions and the dependence of fluorescence and fluorescence quantum yields on temperature.

    Notes: Stereoselective reactions of phthalimido-substituted radicals derived from (±)-threonine with different radical traps are reported (Scheme 3, Table 1). A strong influence of the nature of the radical trap on the stereoselectivity was noticed. Small nucleophilic radical traps gave preferentially the syn products. The observed selectivities are explained with the A1,3 strain model and depend on steric and electronic effects (Fig. 2). Reactions with electrophilic radical traps such as diphenyl diselenide gave the anti diastereoisomers with moderate stereocontrol, presumably due to stereoelectronic effects. The same stereochemical outcome, i.e., preferential formation of the anti products, was observed for the reactions of the related N-phthaloyliminium ion (Scheme 5, Table 2). The stereochemistry of the ionic reaction is rationalized by a Felkin-Anh model (Fig. 3).

The formation of the novel peri-metallated product 5 containing a six-membered palladacycle strongly depends upon the reaction conditions.

    Notes: The photoisomerization behavior of three mono[(E)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)prop-2-enoyl]spermidines, 1, 2, and 3, and three bis[(E)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)prop-2-enoyl]spermidines, 4, 5, and 6, are investigated. The synthetic product (E)-1 could be almost quantitatively (〉 96%) converted into its isomer (Z)-1 under UV light irradiation. In the cases of (E)-2 and (E)-3, a mixture of (E)/(Z) ca. 1:2 was obtained, when the same conditions were applied. The comparison of their UV spectra provides the possible explanation for these different behaviors. Furthermore, it was noticed that the (Z) → (E) isomerization of the C=C bond took place during the purification by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC), and the (E)/(Z)-mixture is thus inseparable. The same feature could be observed during the isolation of the (Z,Z)-N,N′-bis[3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)prop-2-enoyl]-spermidines, (Z,Z)-4, (Z,Z)-5, and (Z,Z)-6. Nevertheless, the fractions of (Z,Z)-5 and (Z,Z)-6 were in almost pure state collected, and their 1-NMR spectra are presented.

    Notes: (-)-(R)-4,4,4,4′,4′,4′-Hexafluorovaline hydrochloride ((R)-5) of 98% ee is prepared from β,β-bis(trifluoromethyl)acrylic acid (= benzyl 4,4,4-trifluoro-3-(trifluoromethyl)but-2-enoate; 1) in 4 steps with an overall yield of 9.6%. Key step is the separation of the TsOH salts of the diastereoisomers obtained by anti-Michael addition of (+)-(R)-1-phenylethylamine (2) to 1 (→ (R,R)-3). In contrast to the published (S)-chirality, the X-ray structure analysis of (R,S)-6 reveals, that (R)-chirality has to be assigned to the levorotatory (-)-4,4,4,4′,4′,4′-hexafluorovaline hydrochloride.

    Notes: The reaction of CuO'Bu with CO2, and iPr2NH in the presence of PPh3, gives the dialkylcarbamato complex [Cu(O2CNiPr2)(PPh3)2] (1). The CO2/R2NH system (R = Me, Et) in an appropriate organic medium reacts with Ag2O giving the corresponding N,N-dialkylcarbamato complexes of analytical formula [Ag(C2CNR2)] (R = Me, 2; R = Et, 3). The methyl derivative 2 was characterized by X-ray diffraction methods. Crystal data of 2: for [Ag2(O2CNMe2)2], C6H12Ag2N2O4, mol. wt. 391.9; monoclinic, space group P21/c, a = 12.08(1), b = 3.797(2), c = 11.316(7) Å, β = 113.37(6)°, V = 476.3 Å3, Z = 2, Dc = 2.732 g cm-3; μ(MoKα) = 40.64 cm-1, F(000) = 376.0; R = 0.059, Rw = 0.067; g.o.f. 1.27. The structure consists of dinuclear [(Ag2OCNMe2)2] units with slightly distorted linearly two-coordinated Ag-atoms containing bridging carbamato groups to form a substantially planar eight-membered ring with an intra-annular Ag—Ag distance of 2.837(2) Å; the dinuclear units are further joined by Ag—O bonds to form an infinite array. Compound 3, which is presumably dinuclear, as suggested by cryoscopic measurements in benzene, undergoes a structural fission with PPh3, giving the mononuclear triphenylphosphine derivative [Ag(O2CNEt2)(PPh3)2] (4). The amine-catalyzed conversion of Ag2O into Ag2CO3, in the presence of the iPr2NH/CO2 system, is also reported. Cl-Exchange from [AuCl(PPh3)] with [Ag(O2CNEt2)] (3) gives the first N,N-dialkylcarbamato complex of gold, namely [Au(O2CNEt2)(PPh3)] (5), which crystallizes in the monoclinic system: C23H25AuNO2P · 0.5 C7H16, mol. wt. 625.5, space group P21/c; a = 13.212(5), b = 12.25(1), c = 16.795(6) Å, β = 109.09(2)°, V = 2568(2) Å3, Z = 4, Dc, = 1.618 g cm-3; μ(AgKα) = 31.40 cm-1, F(000) = 1236.0; R = 0.058; Rw = 0.064; g.o.f. 2.121. The compound contains two-coordinated Au-atom, namely to the P-atom and to the O-atom of the monodentate carbamato group, the P—Au—O bond angle being 174.7(3)°. The reaction with MeI showed these compounds to react predominantly at the carbamato O-atom giving the corresponding urethanes R2NCO2Me. Evidence was gathered for the transient coordination of CO to Ag in 3.

    1,3-Oxathiole and Thiirane Derivatives from the Reactions of Azibenzil and α-diazo amides with thiocarbonyl compounds (1998)

    Notes: The reactions of α-diazo ketones 1a,b with 9H-fluorene-9-thione (2f) in THF at room temperature yielded the symmetrical 1,3-dithiolanes 7a,b, whereas 1b and 2,2,4,4-tetramethylcyclobutane-1,3-dithione (2d) in THF at 60° led to a mixture of two stereoisomeric 1,3-oxathiole derivatives cis- and trans-9a (Scheme 2). With 2-diazo-1,2-diphenylethanone (1c), thio ketones 2a-d as well as 1,3-thiazole-5(4H)-thione 2g reacted to give 1,3-oxathiole derivatives exclusively (Schemes 3 and 4). As the reactions with 1c were more sluggish than those with 1a,b, they were catalyzed either by the addition of LiClO4 or by Rh2(OAc)4. In the case of 2d in THF/LiClO4 at room temperature, a mixture of the monoadduct 4d and the stereoisomeric bis-adducts cis- and trans-9b was formed. Monoadduct 4d could be transformed to cis- and trans-9b by treatment with 1c in the presence of Rh2(OAc)4 (Scheme 4). Xanthione (2e) and 1c in THF at room temperature reacted only when catalyzed with Rh2(OAc)4, and, in contrast to the previous reactions, the benzoyl-substituted thiirane derivative 5a was the sole product (Scheme 4). Both types of reaction were observed with α-diazo amides 1d,e (Schemes 5-7). It is worth mentioning that formation of 1,3-oxathiole or thiirane is not only dependent on the type of the carbonyl compound 2 but also on the α-diazo amide. In the case of 1d and thioxocyclobutanone 2c in THF at room temperature, the primary cycloadduct 12 was the main product. Heating the mixture to 60°, 1,3-oxathiole 10d as well as the spirocyclic thiirane-carboxamide 11b were formed. Thiirane-carboxamides 11d-g were desulfurized with (Me2N)3P in THF at 60°, yielding the corresponding acrylamide derivatives (Scheme 7). All reactions are rationalized by a mechanism via initial formation of acyl-substituted thiocarbonyl ylides which undergo either a 1,5-dipolar electrocyclization to give 1,3-oxathiole derivatives or a 1,3-dipolar electrocyclization to yield thiiranes. Only in the case of the most reactive 9H-fluorene-9-thione (2f) is the thiocarbonyl ylide trapped by a second molecule of 2f to give 1,3-dithiolane derivatives by a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition.

    Notes: The synthesis of a series of chiral enantiomerically pure C2-symmetric binucleating ligands is reported. Ligands of type 1-4, which consist of a phenolic or heterocyclic unit bridging two chiral dihydrooxazole rings. are readily accessible from chiral amino alcohols. Ligands 5a and 5b are composed of a cyclic urea or thiourea unit, respectively, and two 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrrole rings containing a stereogenic center next to the N-atom. Compounds of this type are readily assembled from ethane-1,2-diamine and an imidothioic ester derived from pyroglutamic acid. These new ligands, which can coordinate two metals in close proximity to each other, are of interest regarding possible applications in asymmetric catalysis.

    Notes: Stability constants have been measured for a series of ligands based on a 2,2′-(pyridine-2,6-diyl)bis[1H-benzimidazole] unit which forms dinuclear double-stranded helical complexes with copper(I). Variation of different structural parameters confirms the importance of the coordinate bond, the stacking interactions, and the weakly bridging pyridine units observed by X-ray crystallography. The stabilities of the complexes depend strongly on the solvent, and in MeCN, which is a good solvent for copper(I), the complexes are less stable and assemble in a stepwise manner. The interconversion of the enantiomers may be followed by 1H-NMR and takes place on a millisecond time scale around room temperature. The trends in lability are similar to those found for the stability of the complexes.

    Notes: Oligodeoxyribonucleotides containing 7-deaza-2′-deoxy-8-methylguanosine (m8c7Gd; 2b) were prepared. For this purpose, the phosphonate 3a and the phosphoramidite 3b were synthesized and employed in solidphase oligodeoxyribonucleotide synthesis. The structures and the thermodynamic data of duplex formation of oligodeoxyribonucleotides containing 2b were investigated by temperature-dependent CD and UV spectra and compared with those containing 7-deaza-2′-deoxy-7-methylguanosine (m7c7Gd) or 7-deaza-2′-deoxy-guanosine (c7Gd; 2a). In general, compound 2b reduces the duplex stability. In case of the sequence d(m8c7G-C)4 (18), the B → Z transition was facilitated by the incorporation of 2b. Moreover, a single 7-deaza-8-methylguanine residue present in an oligodeoxyribonucleotide tract of guanine residues destabilizes the dG quadruplex significantly. This destabilization is more pronounced than in the case of 7-deazaguanine or 7-deaza-7-methyl-guanine.

    Notes: Absolute rate constants and their Arrhenius parameters are obtained for the addition of a cyclic malonyl radical derived from Meldrum's acid to 20 mono- or 1,1-disubstituted alkenes in (±)-propylene oxide and for the addition of the open-chain di(tert-butyl)malonyl radical to six mono- or 1,1-disubstituted alkenes in 1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane by time-resolved electron spin resonance spectroscopy. At room temperature, the radicals add at the unsubstituted C-atoms with rate constants ranging from 1.1. 105 M-1S-1 (acrolein) to 2.4. 106 M-1S-1 (1,1-diphenylethene). The frequency factors are in the narrow ranges of log (A/M-1S-1) = 8.7 ± 0.1 for the cyclic and log (A/M-1S-1) = 8.2 ± 0.2 for the open-chain malonyl species, whereas the activation energies vary from 12.9 kJ/mol (1,1-diphenylethene) to 21.7 kJ/mol (acrylonitrile). They correlate with the alkene ionization potentials and, more weakly, with the reaction enthalpy. No correlation was found between the activation energies and the alkene electron affinities. Hence, the results confirm and quantify the electrophilic nature of malonyl radicals in addition reactions.

The relative configuration of the peroxide/α-methylacetate moiety of 6, 9, and 10, was directly determined from their NMR spectra. The absolute configurations of the peroxide/α-methylacetate moiety was deduced from comparative 1H-NMR data of the (S)- and (R)-phenylglycine methyl ester derivatives 7 and 8 as well as 11/13 and 12/14, all obtained from a mixture of the precursors of 3, 6, and 10. The absolute configuration at the carbobicyclic moiety of enone 9 and of 10, is identical, as established by chemical interconversion, 9 and 10 belong to the normal labdane series according to empirical CD rules, applied either directly to 9 or to the parent (+)-sclareolide-derived enone 20. In contrast, molar rotation additivity rules suggest the ent-labdane configuration for 9 and 10. The epidioxides 1-3, 6, and 10 proved active in vitro against the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum; especially the previously isolated methyl 3-epinuapapuanoate (2) was active against a chloroquine-resistant strain, and this with a good security index.

    Notes: 3-Hydroxy-2-cyanoalk-2-enamides, and 2-cyano-2-(tetrahydrofuran-2-ylidene)- and 2-cyano-2-(tetrahydropyran-2-ylidene)acetamides with N-alkyl and N-aryl substituents have been synthesized in three steps from cyanoacetic acid. Their conformations were investigated by X-ray crystallography and 1H-NMR ROESY spectroscopy at room temperature. The enolic compounds 1-3 adopt an extended conformation stabilized by a strong intramolecular O—H … O=C bond both in the solid state and in (D6)DMSO solution. In contrast, the structure of the cyclic derivatives 5a,b-8a,b is solvent-dependent. In the solid state and in CDCl3 solution, the compounds adopt an extended conformation of type I or III, while, in (D6)DMSO solution, their structures undergo time-dependent (Z)/(E)-isomerization structures (of type II or IV). This observation is compatible with a dipolar transition state of rotation. The kinetics of the isomerization are controlled by the N-substituent, the N-(t-Bu) derivatives 7a and 7b having the highest barrier of rotation around the C=C bond. The whole body of experimental evidence together with the results of molecular-mechanics calculations with I-IV, indicate that, in DMSO, two (E)/(Z)-isomers with two conformations are present, and that they undergo interconversion at room temperature with four different constants. The very fast exchange rates kI,II and kIII,IV in the NMR time-scale might be responsible for the detection of only two isomers.

    Notes: A new acylated dimeric secoiridoid glycoside, seemannoside A (2), has been isolated from the aerial parts of Lisianthius seemannii (GRISEB) O. KUNTZE (Gentianaceae). The structure was established by spectroscopic analysis (UV, MS, 1H- and 13C-NMR, and 2D-NMR experiments) and chemical reactions as (E-4′-O-p-coumaroyl)lisianthioside. The structure of the (Z)-isomer (seemannoside B, 3), also present in the plant, was confirmed by LC/UV/1H-NMR analysis. The active principle, 6, responsible for the antifungal activity of the apolar extract against Cladosporium cucumerinum, has been isolated. Its structure has been established by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallographic analysis as a rare type of aglycone monoterpene dimer.

Subsequent as- or trans-dihydroxylation and hydrogenolytic cleavage of the N—O bond led to the 5-amino-5-deoxypentono-δ-lactams 13a, 14, 15a, and 16 in the D-ribose, L-arabinose, D-xylose, and L-lyxose series, respectively, and to the 5-amino-5,6-dideoxyhexono-δ-lactams 13b and 15b in the D-allose and D-glucose series, respectively.

    Notes: The synthesis of the monomeric building block 13 and its constitutional isomer 12 of a new type of DNA analog, distamycin-NA, is presented (Schemes 1 and 2). This building block consists of a uracil base attached to a thiophene core unit via a biaryl-like axis. Next to the biaryl-like axis on the thiophene chromophore, a carboxy and an amino substituent are located allowing for oligomerization via peptide coupling. The proof of constitution and the conformational preferences about the biaryl-like axis were established by means of X-ray analyses of the corresponding nitro derivatives 10 and 11. Thus, the uracil bases are propeller-twisted relative to the thiophene core, and bidentate H-bonds occur between two uracil bases in the crystals. The two amino-acid building blocks 12 and 13 were coupled to give the dimers 15 and 16 using dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) in THF/LiCl and DMF, respectively. While the dimer 15 showed no atropisomerism on the NMR time scale at room temperature, its isomer 16 occurred as distinct diastereoisomers due to the hindered rotation around its biaryl-like axis. Variable-temperature 1H-NMR experiments allowed to determine a rotational barrier of 19 ± 1 kcal/mol in 16. The experimental data were complemented by AM1 calculations.

    Notes: Heating of a mixture of N,N′-(thiocarbonyl)diimidazole (= 1,1′-(carbonothioyl)bis[1H-imidazole]; 1) and 2,5-dihydro-1,3,4-thiadiazole 2a or 2b gave the 1,3-dithiolanes 4a and 4b, respectively, via a regiospecific 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of the corresponding ‘thiocarbonyl methanides’ 3a,b onto the C=S group of 1 (Schemes 1 and 2). The adamantane derivative 4b was not stable in the presence of 1H-imidazole and during chromatographic workup. The isolated 1,3-dithiole 5 is the product of a base-catalyzed elimination of 1H-imidazole from the initial cycloadduct 4b. The formation of the S,N-acetal 6 can be rationalized by a protonation of the ‘thiocarbonyl ylide’ 3b followed by a nucleophilic addition of 1H-imidazole. With the diazo compounds 8a-e (Scheme 3) 1 underwent a regiospecific 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition to give the corresponding 2,5-dihydro-1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives 9, which spontaneously eliminated 1H-imidazole to yield (1H-imidazol-1-yl)-1,3,4-thiadiazoles 10. The structures of 10a and 10d were established by X-ray crystallography. In the case of diazodiphenylmethane (8f), the initial cycloadduct 9f decomposed via a ‘twofold extrusion’ of N2 and S to give 1,1′-(2,2-diphenylethenylidene)bis[1H-imidazole] (11; Scheme 3).

    Notes: The synthesis of new deoxyribose nucleosides by coupling chloropurines with modified D-ribose derivatives is reported. The methyl 2-deoxy-N-methyl-3-O-(p-toluoyl)-α-D-ribofuranosiduronamide (α-D-8) and the corresponding anomer β-D-8 were synthesized starting from the commercially available 2-deoxy-D-ribose (1) (Scheme 1). Reaction of α-D-8 with the silylated derivative of 2,6-dichloro-9H-purine (9) afforded regioselectively the N9-(2′-deoxyribonucleoside) 10 as anomeric mixture (Scheme 2), whereas β-D-8 did not react. Glycosylation of 9 or of 6-chloro-9H-purine (17) with 1,2-di-O-acetyl-3-deoxy-N-methyl-β-D-ribofuranuronamide (13) yielded only the protected β-D-anomers 14 and 18, respectively (Scheme 3). Subsequent deacetylation and dechlorination afforded the desired nucleosides β-D-11, β-D-12,15, and 16. The 3′-deoxy-2-chloroadenosine derivative 15 showed the highest affinity and selectivity for adenotin binding site vs. A1 and A2A adenosine receptor subtypes.

    Notes: (S)-5,5,5,5′,5′,5′-Hexafluoroleucine ((S)-13) of 81 % ee is prepared from hexafluoroacetone (l) and ethyl bromopyruvate (= ethyl 2-oxopropanoate) in 7 steps with an overall yield of 18% (Schemes 1 and 2). Key step in this sequence is the highly enantioselective reduction of the carbonyl group in α-keto ester 4 either by bakers' yeast (91 % ee) or by ‘catecholborane’ 6 utilizing an oxazaborolidine catalyst, yielding hydroxy ester (R)-5 with 99% ee. The absolute configuration was determined by X-ray analysis of the HCl adduct (S,R)-9b of (2S)-N-[(R)- l-phenylethyl]-5,5,5,5′,5′,5′-hexafluoroleucine ethyl ester.

    Notes: N-Fmoc-Protected (Fmoc = (9H-fluoren-9-ylmethoxy)carbonyl) β-amino acids are required for an efficient synthesis of β-oligopeptides on solid support. Enantiomerically pure Fmoc-β3-amino acids β3: side chain and NH2 at C(3)(= C(β)) were prepared from Fmoc-protected (S)- and (R)-α-amino acids with aliphatic, aromatic, and functionalized side chains, using the standard or an optimized Arndt-Eistert reaction sequence. Fmoc-β2- Amino acids (β2 side chain at C(2), NH2 at C(3)(= C(β))) configuration bearing the side chain of Ala, Val, Leu, and Phe were synthesized via the Evans' chiral auxiliary methodology. The target β3-heptapeptides 5-8, a β3- pentadecapeptide 9 and a β2-heptapeptide 10 were synthesized on a manual solid-phase synthesis apparatus using conventional solid-phase peptide synthesis procedures (Scheme 3). In the case of β3-peptides, two methods were used to anchor the first β-amino acid: esterification of the ortho-chlorotrityl chloride resin with the first Fmoc-β-amino acid 2 (Method I, Scheme 2) or acylation of the 4-(benzyloxy)benzyl alcohol resin (Wang resin) with the ketene intermediates from the Wolff rearrangement of amino-acid-derived diazo ketone 1 (Method II, Scheme 2). The former technique provided better results, as exemplified by the synthesis of the heptapeptides 5 and 6 (Table 2). The intermediate from the Wolff rearrangement of diazo ketones 1 was also used for sequential peptide-bond formation on solid support (synthesis of the tetrapeptides 11 and 12). The CD spectra of the β2- and β3-peptides 5, 9, and 10 show the typical pattern previously assigned to an (M) 31 helical secondary structure (Fig.). The most intense CD absorption was observed with the pentadecapeptide 9 (strong broad negative Cotton effect at ca. 213 nm); compared to the analogous heptapeptide 5, this corresponds to a 2.5 fold increase in the molar ellipticity per residue!

    Notes: A new facile synthesis of N,S- and N,Se-acetals starting from aldehydes and primary amines is presented (Schemes 3-5). These acetals are used as precursors for stereoselective radical deuteration and allylation reactions (Schemes 6 and 7, Tables 1 and 2). The stereochemical outcome of the reactions depends on the radical trap and the substituents at the N-atom. Deuterations give always anti products with moderate to high selectivities. The allylation reactions give either syn or anti products with low to moderate selectivities. The observed stereoselectivities can be explained with a model based on minimization of A1,3 strain and are controlled by steric and stereoelectronic effects.

    Notes: Thermal reactions of 1,2,3-trisubstituted aziridines 1 with 1,3-thiazole-5(4H)-thiones 6 in toluene yielded, in general, a mixture of two diastereoisomeric spirocyclic [2+3] cycloadducts. The formation of these products can be explained by a stereoselective electrocyclic ring opening of 1 to give an azomethine ylide 2 as the reactive intermediate, which is trapped immediately by 6 via a stereoselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition. Only in the case of trans-dimethyl 1-(4-methoxyphenyl)aziridine-2,3-dicarboxylate (trans-1a), four diastereoisomeric cycloadducts were formed (Scheme 4). This result is rationalized by an isomerization of the intermediate azomethine ylide cis-2a to trans -2a.

    Notes: Due to their small mass, adjacent protons (or H-atoms) of molecular systems may exhibit quantum entanglement (or quantum correlations), even at ambient conditions. The considerable thermal disturbance and/or manybody interactions of condensed matter and the associated decoherence effect, however, cause this protonic entanglement to be restricted in space and time. Some aspects of entanglement and decoherence are mentioned. Extending our previous theoretical work, in the present paper the focus is on the possible existence of entangled protons belonging to the H-bonds of adjacent base pairs of B-type DNA. Based on the ‘working hypothesis’ that this effect does really exist, the most probable ‘positions’ for the appearance of protonic entanglement in DNA sequences are qualitatively determined. Furthermore, these ‘positions’ appear to correspond uniquely to dimers of adjacent base pairs of DNA. As a consequence, one can straightforwardly search for an enhanced appearance of such entangled H-bonds in DNA sequences of living organisms, using the existing DNA databases. A quantitative analysis of protein-coding DNA sequences of various organisms has been performed, the results of which provide strong evidence for the existence of the considered effect. The most striking finding may be summarized as follows: Quantum entanglement appears preferably between the third base of a codon and the first base of the following one. Quantitative estimates of this and further obtained results are presented. It is also shown that quantum-chemical considerations of stacking energies cannot account for the results. The new findings provide first evidence for the biological significance of entangled H-bonds.

    Notes: The CH2Cl2 extract of Monotes engleri Gilg. (Dipterocarpaceae) showed antifungal activity against the yeast Candida albicans in our bioautographic TLC assays. After a first fractionation of the crude extract, the bioactivity was located in one of the fractions. To perform an efficient targeted isolation of the active compounds, LC/UV/MS and LC/UV/NMR analyses of the crude extract and the active fraction were performed. LC/UV/, LC/MS, and LC/NMR data (1D and 2D) allowed the identification of 1 as (2S)-2,3-dihydro-5,7-dihydroxy-{3-hydroxy-4-[(3-methylbut-2-enyl) oxy]phenyl}-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one, a new prenylated flavanone, named monoteson A. Subsequent isolation of 1 has permitted the determination of its absolute configuration on the basis of CD measurements. Theree other prenylated flavanoes 2-4 were isolated from the same extract. Compound 3 was identified as 2- (3, 5-dihydroxyphenyl) -2,3-dihydro-5, 7-dihydroxy-6, 8-bis (3-methylbut-2-enyl)-4 H-1-benzopyran-4-one, another new natural product, named monotesone B. The structures of 2 and 4 were established as selinone and lonchocarpol A, respectively. The antifungal activity against Candida albicans was determined for all compounds.

    Notes: The disubstituted clusters[Ir4(CO)10(μ2-L—L)] with one edge-bridging ligand have a ground-state geometry with all COs terminal (L—L = (MeS)2CHMe, cluster 1) or with three edge-bridging COs (L—L = (Ph2P)2CHMe, cluste 2; L—L =Ph2P(CH2)3PPh2, cluster 3) in the solid state and in solution. A comparative 13C-NMR study of 1-3 shows that their respective ground-state geometries are merely relative minima of energy in the same kinetic profile of successive fluxional processes consisting of a merry-go-round of six COs about a unique trangular face and the rotation of terminal COs about one Ir-atom. The factors affecting the activation energy of the merry-go-round result from the relative bites of the bidentate ligands in the ground-state geometry, as shown by a comparison of the molecular structures of 2 and 3.

    Notes: The kinetics of the reaction between pyridoxal 5′-phosphate (PLP) with carbidopa, hydralazine, and isoniazid, in aqueous solution at variable pH and constant ionic strength of 0.1M was studied spectrophotometrically. The rate constants of formation and hydrolysis of the resulting Schiff base, and its stability were determined in a wide range of pH. A comparison is made of the formation rate constants with those of PLP with hydrazine. The reactivity shows the sequence isoniazid 〉 hydrazine 〉 carbidopa 〉 hydralazine in the whole range of pH studied. The Schiff bases studied are more stable than those formed by PLP and hexylamine and as stable as those described for the reactions of PLP with poly(L-lysine) or copolypeptides containing L-lysine.

    Notes: The coordination behavior of chiral binucleating ligands of type 1-4 with various transition metals has been investigated. 1H-NMR Titration experiments with zinc(II) salts gave detailed structural information about the structure of the resulting zinc complexes. Ligand 1 forms an unusual C3-symmetric dinuclear zinc complex [Zn2CIL3] (8a) which was characterized by X-ray crystallography. Treatment of complex 8a with various carboxylic acids resulted in ligand-exchange reactions. With ligand 2, a hydroxo-bridged dinuclear copper complex 15 was synthesized and its structure elucidated by X-ray analysis. Solution studies UV and 1H-NMR spectroscopy of the reaction of ligand 3 with ZnII and NII salts revealed the formation of dimeric species of the type [M2X4L2]. Ligand 4 formed well-defined dinuclear complexes with NiII and CuII salts of which the corresponding NiII complex [Ni2(AcO)2(ClO4)2L] (22a) was characterized by crystal-structure analysis.

    Notes: Why Pentose- and Not Hexose-Nucleic Acids? Purine-Purine Pairing in homo-DNA: Guanine,Isoguanine, 2,6-Diaminopurine, and XanthineThis paper concludes the series of reports in this journal [1-4] on the chemistry of homo-DNA, the constitutionally simplifie dmodel system of hexopyranosyl-(6′ → 4′)-oligonucleotide systems stidued in our laboratory as potentially natural-nucleic-acid alternatives in the context of a chemical aetiology of nucleic-acid structure. The report describes the synthesis and pairing properties of homo-DNA oligonucleotides which contain as nucleobases exclusively purines, and gives, together with part III of the series [3], a survey of what we know today about purine-purine pairingin homo-DNA. In addition, the paper discusses those aspects of the chemistry of homo-DNA which, we think, influence the way how some of the structural features of DNA (and RNA) are to be interpreted on a qualitative level.Purine-purine pairing occurs in the homo-DNA domain in great variety. Most prominent is a novel tridentate Watson-Crick pair between guanine and isoguanine, as well as one between 2,6-diaminopurine and xanthinone, both giving rise to very stable duplexes containing the all-purine strands in antiparallel orientation. For the guanine-isoguanine pair, constitutional assignment is based on temperature-dependent UV and CD spectroscopy of various guanine- and isoguanine-containg duplexes in comparison with duplexes known to be paired in the reverse guanine is replaced by 7-carbauguanine. Isoguanine and 2,6-diaminopurine also have the capability of self-pariring in the reverse-Hoogsteen mode, as previously observed for adenine and guanine [3]. In this type of pairing, the interchangeably. Fig. 36 provides an overall survey of the relative strength of pairing in all possible purine-purine combinations.Watson-Crick pairing of isoguanine with guanine demands the former to participate in its 3H-tautomeric form; hitherto this specific tautomer had not been considered in the pairing chemistry of isoguanine. Whereas (cumulative) purine-purine pairing in DNA (reverse-Hoogsten or Hoogsteen) seems to occur in triplexes and tetrapalexes only, its occurrence in duplexes in a characteristic feature of homo-DNA chemistry. The occurrence of purine-purine Watson-Crick base pairs is probably a consequence of homo-DNA's quasi-linear ladder structure [1][4]. In a double helix, the distance between the two sugar C-atoms, on which a base pair is anchored, is expected to be constrained by the dimensions of the helix; in a linear duplex, however, there would be no restrictions with regard to base-pair length. Homo-DNA's ladder-like model also allows one to recognize one of the reasons why nucleic-acid duplexes prefer to pair in antiparallel, rather than parallel strand orientation: in homo-DNA duplexes, (averaged) backbone and base pair axes are strongly inclined toward one another [4]; the stronger this inclination, the higher the preference for antiparallel strand orientation is expected to be (Fig. 16).In retrospect, homo-DNA turns out to be one of the first artificial oligonucleotide systems (cf. Footnote 65) to demonstrate in a comprehensive way that informational base pairing involving purines and pyrimidines is not a capability unique to ribofuranosyl systems. Stability and helical shape of pairing complexes are not necessary conditions of one another; it is the potential for extensive conformational cooperativity of hte backbone structure with respect to the constellational demands of base pairing and base stacking that determines whether or nor a given type of base-carrying backbone structure is an informational pairing system. From the viewpoint of the chemical aetiology of nucleic-acid structure, which inspired our investigations on hexopyranosyl-(6′ → 4′)-oligonucleotide systems in the first place, the work on homo-DNA is only an extensive model study, because homo-DNA is not to be considered a potential natural-nucleic-acid altenratie. In retrospect, it seems fortunate that the model study was carried out, because without it we could hardly have comprehended the pairing behavior of the proper nucleic-acid alternatives which we have studied later and which will be discussed in Part VI of this series.The English footnotes to Fig. 1-49 provide an extension of this summary.

    Notes: ‘Fully chiral’ dendrimers, containing a stereogenic center at each and every branching point, have been prepared using a chiral core triol with aromatic elongating units (cf. 27) and chiral branch diols (cf. 8, 12, and 24) as building blocks. The biggest dendrimer prepared is of the 4th generation (33: 46 building blocks, 93 stereogenic centers, 1028 possible stereoisomers), and has been obtained by a convergent growth approach in 32 steps starting from the biopolymer poly[(R)-3-hydroxybutanoic acid] (P(3-HB)). All compounds were shown to be monodisperse by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Spin-lattice relaxation-time (T1) measurements and size-exclusion chromatography show typical features of structurally related achiral dendrimers. The influence of the chiral building blocks on the shape of the whole dendrimer has been investigated by chiroptical measurements: the specific rotation can be considered as average of all chiroptical properties of its constituent chiral units, independent of the solvent, the concentration, and the temperature. On the other hand, regularity in the circular dichroism (CD) spectra is completely lost with variation of the solvent (cf. Fig. 13).

    Notes: The first steps, believed to be involved in the highly enantioselective copolymerization of styrene and carbon monoxide to poly[1-oxo-2-phenylpropane-1,3-diyl] with phosphinodihydrooxazole-palladium(II) complexes, were investigated. The insertion of carbon monoxide into [Pd(Me)(P^N)(solvent)] TfO (P^N = (S)-2-[2-(5H-benzo[b]phosphindol-5-yl)phenyl]4-benzyl-4,5-dihydrooxazole (1)) and of styrene into [Pd(Me)(P^N)(solvent)] TfO were highly regioselective (alkyl and acyl substituents trans to N); moreover, the olefin insertion took place with essentially complete enantioface discrimination.

    Notes: The difference between the strong inhibition of retaining β-glucosidases by the tetrazole 1 and the weak inhibition by the triazole 3 has been explained by the protonation by the enzymic catalytic acid of N(3) of 1, replaced by CH in 3. One also expects a contribution to the inhibition from the charge-dipole interaction between the enzymic catalytic nucleophile and the azole ring. The extent of this contribution was estimated from the calculated, distance-dependent heats of formation of the acetate-azole complexes. The calculations were validated by comparison of the charge-dipole interaction between phosphate and the inhibitors 1 and 3 in the glycogen phosphorylase b (GPb)-azole-phosphate complexes, as derived from differences in the Ki values for 1 and 3, while the structural invariance of the complexes was demonstrated by X-ray analysis. The difference between the charge-dipole interactions of (dihydrogen) phosphate and 1 or 3 as derived from Δ Ki is 1.1 kcal mol-1, while the calculated difference is 1.3 kcal mol-1. The calculated difference for the interaction of 1 or 3 with acetate, representing the catalytic nucleophile in β-glycosidases, is 2.0 kcal mol-1, while the differences of the binding energies as derived from the Ki values for the inhibition by 1 or 3 of different β-glycosidases range from 2.4 to 5.3 5 kcal mol-1. The calculated difference for 1 and the imidazole 6 is 2.5 kcal mol-1 in favour of 1, whereas the Ki-derived difference is 3.7 kcal mol-1 in favour of 6, equal to the calculated difference between 1 and the protonated imidazole 6. Thus, protonation by the catalytic acid and the charge-dipole interaction with the catalytic nucleophile contribute cooperatively to the binding of inhibitors possessing a trigonal anomeric centre bonded to a heteroatom.

    Notes: For a comparison with the corresponding α- and β-hexapeptides H-(Val-Ala-Leu)2-OH (A) and H-(β-HVal-β-HAla-β-HLeu)2-OH (B), we have now prepared the corresponding γ-hexapeptide 1 built from the homochirally similar (S)-4-aminobutanoic acid, (R)-4-amino-5-methylhexanoic acid, and (R)-4-amino-6-methylheptanoic acid. The precursors were prepared either by double Arndt-Eistert homologation of the protected amino acids Boc-Val-OH, Boc-Ala-OH, and Boc-Leu-OH (Schemes 1 and 2), or by the superior route involving olefination/hydrogenation of the corresponding aldehydes (Boc-valinal, Boc-alaninal, and Boc-leucinal; Scheme 3). Conventional peptide-coupling methodology (EDC/HOBt) furnished the γ-hexapeptide 1 (through the intermediate γ-di- and γ-tripeptide derivatives 9-11). Analysis of NMR measurements in (D5)pyridine and CD3OH solution (COSY, TOCSY, HSQC, HMBC, ROESY) reveals that the γ-hexapeptide 1 adopts a right-handed helical structure ((P)-2.61 helix of ca. 5-Å pitch, containing 14-membered H-bonded rings) which is to be compared with the left-handed helix of the corresponding β-peptide B ((M)-31 helix of 5-Å pitch, 14-membered H-bonded rings) and with the familiar right-handed, so-called α-helix of α-peptides ((P)-3.61 helix of 5.4-Å pitch, 13-membered rings). Like the helix sense, the helix dipole reverses when going from α-, (N + → C) to β-(C + → N) to γ-peptides (N + → C). The surprising difference between the natural α-, and the analogous β- and γ-peptides is that the helix stability increases upon homologation of the residues.

    Notes: 7-O-Substituted analogs of deaminodeoxycolchinol thiomethyl ether were synthesized and evaluated for their inhibitory effects on tubulin polymerization in vitro. Ketone 9, a key compound in this study, was derived from thiocolchicone 6 by reaction with aniline. Reaction of compound 6 with MeNH2 or BuNH2 gave tetracyclic lactams 7 and 8, respectively. Optically active alcohols 11a and 11b were obtained from racemic 11 by chemical resolution including a separation of the comphanate diastereoisomers 12a and 12b, followed by basic hydrolysis. The (aR,7R)-configuration of 12b was verified by X-ray crystallographic analysis. Almost all racemic and optically active 7-O-acyl or 7-O-aroyl compounds had strong inhibitory effects on the tubulin polymerization reaction, with IC50 values from 1.7 to 5.1 μM. A few agents, such as the lactams 7 and 8, the camphanates 12a and 12b, the cyclohexanecarboxylates 19a and 19b, and, most notably, the (7S)-benzoate 15a, had negligible effects on polymerization, yielding IC50 values greater than 40μM. Ketone 9 showed strong inhibition of tubulin polymerization comparable to that of thiocolchicone (6). Optically active alcohol 11a and acyl esters 13a and 14a with a (7S)-configuration were more active than the (7R)-esters 13b and 14b. However, the esters 15a-17a with a (7S)-configuration were less active than the (7R)-isomers 15b-17b, in which the (7R)-benzoate 15b was at least 15-fold more inhibitory than the (7S)-isomer 15a. For the most part, the agents causing strongest inhibition of polymerization also caused the greatest inhibition of [3H]colchicine binding. NMR and optical rotatory data indicate that, in polar solvents, the equilibrium in esters with a 7-O-aroyl substituent, i.e., 15a,b, 16a,b, and 17a,b, is reversed from (aS) to (aR) or from (aR) to (aS), as compared to nonpolar solvents.

    Notes: As a continuation of our previous studies on the synthesis and antiplatelet activity of quinolin-2(1H)-ones with an α-methylidene-γ-butyrolactone substituted at O(8), the O(6)- and N(1)-substituted isomers were synthesized and evaluated for antiplatelet activity against thrombin (Thr)-, arachidonic acid (AA)-, collagen (Col)-, and platelet-activating-factor (PAF)-induced aggregation in washed rabbit platelets. These compounds were synthesized from 6-hydroxyquinolin-2(1H)-one via alkylation and Reformatsky-type condensation (Schemes 1 and 2). All of them were found to inhibit the platelet aggregation perfectly which was induced by AA and Col. 6-Substituted isomers 5b-g exhibited very strong inhibitory activities against AA- and PAF- induced aggregation and are approximately ten times more potent than their 8-substituted counterparts. However, the 1-substituted (11a and 11b) and the 1,6-disubstituted (6) counterparts were relatively inactive. Their effects on the Ca2+-dependent vasoconstriction induced by high K+, and the phasic and tonic vasoconstrictions induced by norepinephrine (NE) in rat aorta were also evaluated. Except 5g, all of them were found to have significant inhibitory activity on the NE-induced phasic and tonic vasoconstrictions. Compounds 6 and 11b also exhibited strong inhibitory activity on high-K+ medium, Ca2+-induced vasoconstriction.

    Notes: The photolysis of N-alkylpyridinium halides 9a-e in alkaline H2O gave 6-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexenol derivatives 10a-e. N-Substituents bearing ether, acetal, and alcohol functions were found to do not adversely influence the photochemical reaction course. The free OH groups of the N-(3-hydroxypropyl) derivative 10d were protected by benzoylation. The ensuing dibenzoate 14 underwent stereocontrolled opening of the aziridine ring on reaction with MeSH/BF3 to give a thioether 15. With benzoic acid in CHCI3, 10d gave the 4-hydroxy-5-aminocyclopent-2-enyl benzoate 11. The meso-2-aminocyclopent-4-ene-1,3-diol 12 was obtained by hydrolysis of 11. On reaction with Boc2O and NaI, the aziridine ring of 14 was converted to a bicyclic compound 17. Hydrolysis of 17 provided the trans-1,3-diol 18, the epimer of 12. Face-selective dihydroxylation of Boc-protected 12 gave a meso-aminocyclopentanetetrol 23 which was characterized upon peracetylation. Dihydroxylation of 15 provided a racemic analogue of epi-mannostatin A (26).

    Notes: Bicyclic thiohydantoins were synthesized in a stereoselective manner by reacting (2R)/(2S)-diastereoisomer mixtures of 1,3-thiazolidine-2,4-dicarboxylic acids or their dimethyl diesters with PhNCS. 5,5-Dimethyl-1,3-thiazolidine-2,4-dicarboxylic acid with PhNCS led to a cyclization involving the C=O group at the C(2) center of the thiazolidine ring, while the acid's dimethyl diester gave cyclization involving the C=O group at C(4). In contrast, reactions involving unsubstituted 1,3-thiazolidine-2,4-dicarboxylic acid or its dimethyl diester led to thiohydantoins in which the ring closure had taken place only with the COO group at C(4). Independently of the direction of the ring closure, all reactions produce exclusively products with the (R)-configuration at C(2). The configurational assignments were based on 1H- and 13C-NMR studies, and confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analyses.

    Notes: The new, axially chiral bis(4,5-dihydrooxazoles) 4 have been synthesized in a straightforward manner, starting from the substituted, racemic 1,1′-biphenyl-2,2′-dicarboxylic acids 1 and optically active amino alcohols 2. The adducts were resolved by medium-performance liquid chromatography (MPLC; see Scheme 1). Formation of Cu1 complexes of 4 was followed by 1H-NMR spectroscopy. The catalytic behavior of these complexes has been investigated by asymmetric cyclopropanation of styrene with ethyl diazoacetate. Beside the influence of steric factors, a significant electronic effect on asymmetric induction could also be observed (see Scheme 2 and Table).

    Notes: Titanium-dioxide surfaces have been glycosylated with the benzyl-, 4-fluorobenzyl-, and acetyl-protected diazirines 1-3. The modified TiO2 surfaces were characterized by contact-angle measurement, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPES), and time-of-flight secondary-ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS). The main by-products of the glucosidation (mostly azines and trehaloses) were identified. Their physisorption slightly reduces the efficiency of the glucosidation by 1 mM solution of 1 or 2 in CH2Cl2, but this influence is neutralized by repeating the glucosidation, or by using a 100 mM solution of the diazirines. The immobilized, acetylated glucosyl moieties were deacetylated in situ. Calculations based on the XPES peaks of Ti 2p and F 1s for the TiO2 surface modified with 2 indicated 1.5 ± 0.9 immobilized glucosyl moieties per nm2.

    Notes: A Chemotaxonomic survey for biologically active compounds from Malaysian Calophyllum species led to the findings of the four new benzoylcoumarins 1a, 2, 3, and 4a (including the unusual prenylated 6-benzoylcoumann 1a), two uncommon coumarins 5 and 6a with a pyran-4-one moiety fused at C(6) and C(7), and compounds 7a, 9, and 10, all isolated from the bark of C. teysmannii var. inophylloide. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic analysis and chemical transformations. X-Ray crystal-structure determination of 2 provided information on the conformational preferences of substituents in this class of coumarins. The syntheses of the cytotoxic calanone (7a) and of some related coumarins are described.

    Notes: The heme-thiolate protein chloroperoxidase (CPO) catalyzes the chlorination of activated C—H bonds. A reaction mechanism is proposed for this enzymatic transformation (Scheme 1), and a new iron(III) porphyrinate complex 13 is synthesized containing pentafluorophenyl groups at two meso-positions and a thiophenolato ligand coordinating to the Fe-atom (Schemes 2 and 3). Due to the presence of the electron-withdrawing substituents, the catalyst 13 is appreciably resistant to oxidants (HOCl) and chlorinates, e.g., monochlorodimedone (5), with turnover numbers up to 1530. The redox potential of 13, E0 = - 134 mV, and the Soret band (λmax 448 nm) of the CO adduct of the reduced state of 13 are close to the corresponding values of the enzyme CPO.
