Insight Into

There are two aspects of enzyme specificity: recognition of the substrate by the formation of an enzyme-substrate compound and recognition of the transition state by catalysis of the reaction. Kinetic studies with inactive substrate analogues as potential competitive inhibitors, and structural studies of their compounds with enzymes, give information about the first of these specificity elements. Comparative kinetic studies with alternative substrates give information about both. There is a great deal of information from kinetic studies of dehydrogenases about the coenzyme specificities, substrate specificities and stereospecificities and mechanisms of these enzymes, particularly alcohol dehydrogenases. Recent X-ray diffraction studies of dehydrogenases have given insight into the molecular basis of some of their specificity elements. An attempt is made to correlate the available kinetic and structural data for alcohol and lactate dehydrogenases.

Poorly Soluble

Abstract1,3-Di̲aza-2-s̱ila-4-c̱yclopentenes 1 (DISC), which are electron-rich and easily oxidizable ole­ fins, form strongly coloured, but poorly soluble 1:1 adducts with cuprous halides, while silver trifluoromethylsulfonate oxidizes 1. Much more soluble and again strongly coloured complexes of stoichiometry LPdX2, (L)1.5PdX2 and L 2PdX2 are formed from 1 and palladium halides. The well-crystallizing adduct (PdCl2 · L)2 3a was chosen for an X-ray structure analysis (monoclinic, space group P2/c; a = 10.215(3), b = 14.681(3), c =23.642(5) Å , β = 101.31(2)°; Z = 8 ; R = 0.054), which revealed an almost planar DISC ligand in an oblique η2(C=C)-coordination relative to the π-plane. Structural data and rather peculiar spectroscopic properties encourage a comparison of 3a with complexes, in which an electron-rich olefin is split to give a bis(carbene) ligand system. The electronic reasons for the splitting of electron-rich olefins at d8 metals are discussed under symmetry considerations.

Tubulin Structure

Microtubules are involved in a host of critical cell activities, many of which involve transport of organelles through the cell. Different sets of microtubules appear to form during the cell cycle for different functions. Knowledge of the structure of tubulin will be necessary in order to understand the various functional mechanisms of microtubule assemble, disassembly, and interaction with other molecules, but tubulin has so far resisted crystallization for x-ray diffraction studies. Fortuitously, in the presence of zinc ions, tubulin also forms two-dimensional, crystalline sheets that are ideally suited for study by electron microscopy. We have refined procedures for forming the sheets and preparing them for EM, and have been able to obtain high-resolution structural data that sheds light on the formation and stabilization of microtubules, and even the interaction with a therapeutic drug.Tubulin sheets had been extensively studied in negative stain, demonstrating that the same protofilament structure was formed in the sheets and microtubules. For high resolution studies, we have found that the sheets embedded in either glucose or tannin diffract to around 3 Å.

Starting Compound

The 6-N(CH3)3-6-CB9H11 carbaborane reacts with sodium in liquid ammonia with the formation of 6-CB9H12- which was used as a starting compound for preparing the 4-CB8H14, 9-L-6-CB9H13 (L = (CH3)2S, CH3CN and P(C6H5)3), 1-(η5-C5H5)-1,2-FeCB9H10-, and 2,3-(η5-C5H5)2-2,31-Co2CB9H10- carboranes. The 4-CB8H14 compound was dehydrogenated at 623 K to give 4-(7)-CB8H12 carborane. Base degradation of 6-N(CH3)3-6-CB9H11 in methanol resulted in the formation of 3,4-μ-N(CH3)3CH-B5H10. The structure of all compounds was proposed on the basis of their 11B and 1H NMR spectra and X-ray diffraction was used in the case of the transition metal complexes.

Salen Aluminum

Bimetallic bis-urea functionalized salen-aluminum catalysts have been developed for cyclic carbonate synthesis from epoxides and CO2. The urea moiety provides a bimetallic scaffold through hydrogen bonding, which expedites the cyclic carbonate formation reaction under mild reaction conditions. The turnover frequency (TOF) of the bis-urea salen Al catalyst is three times higher than that of a μ-oxo-bridged catalyst, and 13 times higher than that of a monomeric salen aluminum catalyst. The bimetallic reaction pathway is suggested based on urea additive studies and kinetic studies. Additionally, the X-ray crystal structure of a bis-urea salen Ni complex supports the self-assembly of the bis-urea salen metal complex through hydrogen bonding.

This article presents a versatile easy-to-use electrochemical cell suitable forin operando,in situmeasurements of battery materials during electrochemical cycling using a variety of X-ray techniques. Argonne's multi-purposein situX-ray (AMPIX) cell provides reliable electrochemical cycling over extended periods owing to the uniform stack pressure applied by rigid X-ray windows and the formation of a high-fidelity hermetic seal. The suitability of the AMPIX cell for a broad range of synchrotron-based X-ray scattering and spectroscopic measurements has been demonstrated with studies at eight Advanced Photon Source beamlines to date. Compatible techniques include pair distribution function analysis, high-resolution powder diffraction, small-angle scattering and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. These techniques probe a broad range of electronic, structural and morphological features relevant to battery materials. The AMPIX cell enables experiments providing greater insight into the complex processes that occur in operating batteries by allowing the electrochemical reactions to be probed at fine reaction intervals with greater consistency (within the charge–discharge cycle and between different methodologies) with potential for new time-dependent kinetic studies or studies of transient species. Representative X-ray and electrochemical data to demonstrate the functionality of the AMPIX cell are presented.

Membered Heterocycle

Pentacarbonyl(thietane)tungsten complexes react with thiocyanate, [SCN]-, and SiO2/H2O by insertion of the CN group into a S—C bond of the four-membered heterocycle, 1,3-migration of the pentacarbonyltungsten fragment and protonation of the nitrogen atom to give tungsten-coordinated thiazinthione complexes. Analogously, the reactions of a thietane tungsten complex with [SeCN]- and SiO2/H2O affords a thiazinselone complex. A selenazinthione complex is obtained from a selenetane complex and [SCN]- (+ SiO2/H2O). The insertions are regiospecific and stereoselective. The structure of the trans-isomer of a pentacarbonyl-(thiazinthione) complex has been established by X-ray structure analysis.
