The coordination chemistry of N-(2,6-di-methylphenyl)-2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldimine (1) with Cu(II) has been investigated by X-ray crystallography, electronic and EPR spectroscopies, as well as by electro- and magnetochemistry. The title complex 2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P212121 (a = 8.1538, b = 17.7466, c =19.8507 Å). The mononuclear square-planar molecules 2 featuring trans-N2O2 coordination are connected via weak intermolecular C-H· · ·π interactions into infinite chains parallel to the a axis. Although the intermolecular Cu· · ·Cu separations within individual chains and between chains are very long (8.154 and 9.726 Å ), the exchange interaction parameter G = 2.03 < 4, estimated from solid state EPR spectra, suggests the existence of long-distance superexchange pathways between adjacent Cu(II) centers. The electronic and electrochemical features of the compound are also discussed.

Aspartate racemase (AspR) is a pyridoxal 5′-phosphate (PLP)-dependent enzyme that is responsible for D-aspartate biosynthesis in vivo. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to report an X-ray crystal structure of a PLP-dependent AspR, which was resolved at 1.90 Å resolution. The AspR derived from the bivalve mollusc Scapharca broughtonii (SbAspR) is a type II PLP-dependent enzyme that is similar to serine racemase (SR) in that SbAspR catalyzes both racemization and dehydration. Structural comparison of SbAspR and SR shows a similar arrangement of the active-site residues and nucleotide-binding site, but a different orientation of the metal-binding site. Superposition of the structures of SbAspR and of rat SR bound to the inhibitor malonate reveals that Arg140 recognizes the β-carboxyl group of the substrate aspartate in SbAspR. It is hypothesized that the aromatic proline interaction between the domains, which favours the closed form of SbAspR, influences the arrangement of Arg140 at the active site.

The conformation of virginiamycin M1 (VM1) in chloroform, determined by high-resolution NMR experiments, differs significantly from that of the X-ray crystal structure of VM1 bound to the 50S ribosome and to the active site of a streptogramin acetyltransferase enzyme. This implies that the binding process to these entities causes a major change in VM1 conformation.

Tetra-1-alkynylsilanes, Si(C≡CR1)4 with R1 = tBu (1) and SiMe3 (2) react with triethylborane, Et3B. by intermolecular 1,1-ethyloboration followed by intramolecular 1,1-vinyloboration, to give the substituted siloles 3 and 5 with two R1C≡C groups linked to silicon. The formation of 5 (R1 = SiMe3) requires exactly one equivalent of Et3B, whereas 3 (R1 = tBu) is formed after ≈ 20 d in boiling toluene in the presence of a large excess of Et3B, and the remaining tBu -C ≡ C groups in 3 do not react with Et3B. The 1,1-organoboration of 2 using one equivalent of 9-ethyl-9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane, Et-9-BBN, proceeds similar to the Et3B-reaction, to give mainly the silole derivative 6, in which the bicyclic ring system is enlarged by two carbon atoms. This product is the result of a kinetically controlled reaction. The single crystal X-ray analysis of 1 has been carried out (space group Pnma; a = 990.0(2), b = 1668.0(3), c = 1479.0(3) pm), and its crystal structure is com pared with that of the corresponding tin compound 1 (Sn).

Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 has sparked interest as an immunotherapeutic target in cancer research. Its structure includes a loop, named the JK-loop, that controls the orientation of the substrate or inhibitor within the active site. However, little has been reported about the crystal structure of this loop. In the present work, the conformation of the JK-loop is determined for the first time in the presence of the heme cofactor in the active site through X-ray diffraction experiments (2.44 Å resolution). Molecular-dynamics trajectories were also obtained to provide dynamic information about the loop according to the presence of cofactor. This new structural and dynamic information highlights the importance of the JK-loop in confining the labile heme cofactor to the active site.
