Abstract45Sc NMR chemical shifts, linewidths, and longitudinal relaxation rates have been measured in aqueous solutions of scandium chloride and sulphate as a function of the appropriate acid. A common typical behaviour of these parameters without sudden changes has been observed. Also signals in the basic range have been obtained. H2O -D2O solvent isotope effects on Larmor frequency and relaxation rates are presented.

Synthesis and detailed spectral analysis of a new 4-substituted coumarin-amino acid derivate are presented in this paper. A new glycine derivate of (3-nitro-2-oxo-2H-chromen-4-yl)amino]acetate was prepared by condensation of 4-chloro-3-nitrocoumarin and ethyl glycinate hydrochloride. The complete assignment of 1H and 13C NMR chemical shifts of the synthesized compound was carried out by the aid of a combination of 1D (1H and 13C NMR) and 2D (1H-1H-COSY, NOESY, HSQC and HMBC) NMR experiments.

The amino acid sequence of a short-chain neurotoxin Acanthophis antarcticus c (toxin Aa c) from the venom of an Australian elapid snake, the common death adder (Acanthophis antarcticus, subfamily Acanthophiinae) was elucidated. Toxin Aa c is composed of 62 amino acid residues, including eight half-cystine residues and a cysteine residue. The amino acid sequence of toxin Aa c is homologous with those of other short-chain neurotoxins found in snakes of the family Elapidae, especially with those from snakes of the subfamily Hydrophiinae. The single cysteine residue was located in position 4. Toxin Aa c has a lethal dose (LD50) of 0.08 micrograms/g body weight of mouse on intramuscular injection.

Abstract We report the identification, cloning, heterologous expression and functional characterization of a novel antifungal peptide named lucimycin from the common green bottle fly Lucilia sericata. The lucimycin cDNA was isolated from a library of genes induced during the innate immune response in L. sericata larvae, which are used as therapeutic maggots. The peptide comprises 77 amino acid residues with a molecular mass of 8.2 kDa and a pI of 6.6. It is predicted to contain a zinc-binding motif and to form a random coil, lacking β-sheets or other secondary structures. Lucimycin was active against fungi from the phyla Ascomycota, Basidiomycota and Zygomycota, in addition to the oomycete Phytophtora parasitica, but it was inactive against bacteria. A mutant version of lucimycin, lacking the four C-terminal amino acid residues, displayed 40-fold lower activity. The activity of lucimycin against a number of highly-destructive plant pathogens could be exploited to produce transgenic crops that are resistant against fungal diseases.

The alternative probe pyridine-N-oxide allows the determination of the hydrogen-bond acidity of both neat ionic liquids and their aqueous solutions based on 13C NMR chemical shifts.
