AbstractCrystals of green to bluish green rosasite from Tsumeb, Namibia are monoclinic, space group P21/a, with refined unit-cell parameters a = 12.873 (3), b = 9.354 (3), c = 3.156 (2) A, β = 110.36 (3)°, V = 356.3 (5) A3 and a:b:c = 1.3762:1:0.3374, with Z = 4 and Dx = 4.15 g./cm.3. Crystals are twinned by 180° rotation about a*. A fully indexed powder pattern is presented. Electron-microprobe analyses, average (wt. %): Cu 32.9, Zn 23.7; this suggests an analytical formula of (Cu1·18 Zn0·82) (CO3) (OH)2. The rosasite is optically biaxial negative, α = 1.673 (1), β = 1.796 (3), γ = 1.811 (3), 2Vx = 33 (5)° (calc. 36.4°), with X = c, Y = a* and Z = b.

AbstractTabular untwinned crystals of colorless transparent armstrongite from the Strange Lake Alkalic Complex, on the Quebec – Labrador boundary, Canada are monoclinic, space group choices I2/m, I2, Im (diffraction aspect I*/*), with refined unit-cell parameters a = 13.599 (9), b = 14.114(9), c = 7.833 (4) Å, β = 103.41 (5)°, V = 1462.4 (±3.0) Å3. a:b:c = 0.9635:1:0.5550, Z = 4 and D(x) = 2.696 g/cm3. A fully indexed X-ray powder pattern is presented. Averaged electron-microprobe analyses suggest a theoretical formula of CaZrSi6O15 · 3 H2O. The Strange Lake armstrongite is biaxial negative, α = 1.567 (1), β = 1.576 (1), γ = 1.577 (1), 2V (meas.) = 39 (1)°, 2V (calc.) = 37°, Z∥b, X Λc = +4°, with no absorption and weak dispersion r < v.

Abstract The crystal structure of a copper(II) complex of protonated sildenafil, CuCl3C22H31N6O4S⋅2H2O was studied by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n with the unit cell parameters a = 15.4292(2), b = 9.06735(12), c = 21.1752(2) Å, V = 2945.48(7) Å3, Z = 4. The Cu atom is coordinated by the sildenafil ligand via the N2 atom of the pyrazolopyrimidine ring and by three chloride anions. Sildenafil is protonated at the methylated N6 atom of the piperazine ring and it is cation ligand with a 1+ charge.

The bromodomain-PHD finger protein 1 (BRPF1) is an essential subunit of the monocytic leukemia zinc (MOZ) histone acetyltransferase (HAT) complex and is required for complex formation and enzymatic activation. BRPF1 contains a structurally conserved bromodomain, which recognizes specific acetyllysine residues on histone proteins. The MOZ HAT plays a direct role in hematopoiesis, and deregulation of its activity is linked to the development of acute myeloid leukemia. However, the molecular mechanism of histone-ligand recognition by the BRPF1 bromodomain is currently unknown. The 117-amino-acid BRPF1 bromodomain was overexpressed inEscherichia coliand purified to homogeneity. Crystallization experiments of the BRPF1 bromodomain in complex with its H4K12ac and H2AK5ac histone ligands yielded crystals that were suitable for high-resolution X-ray diffraction analysis. The BRPF1 bromodomain–H4K12ac crystals belonged to the tetragonal space groupP43212, with unit-cell parametersa= 75.1,b= 75.1,c= 86.3 Å, and diffracted to a resolution of 1.94 Å. The BRPF1 bromodomain–H2AK5ac crystals grew in the monoclinic space groupP21, with unit-cell parametersa= 60.9,b= 55.6,c= 82.1 Å, β = 93.6°, and diffracted to a resolution of 1.80 Å. Complete data sets were collected from both crystal forms using synchrotron radiation on beamline X29 at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL).

The one-pot reaction of 2,6-bis(diphenylmethyl)-4-methoxyaniline with tert-butylnitrite, BTEAC and DABSO in the presence of CuCl2 provided an unexpected 3H-indazole product 8. The structure of the compound was determined by HRMS, IR, NMR and further confirmed by single crystal X-ray crystallography. The compound crystallises in the triclinic P-1 space group, with unit cell parameters a = 9.2107 (4), b = 10.0413 (5), c = 14.4363 (6) Å, α = 78.183 (2), β = 87.625 (2), γ = 71.975 (2)°. The formation of 8 proceeded through a facile intramolecular [2 + 3] cycloaddition of the diazo intermediate 9. The molecules of 8 are organised by edge–face Ar–H···π, face–face π···π, and bifurcated OCH2–H···N interactions. In addition to these, there are Ar–H···H–Ar close contacts, (edge–edge and surrounding inversion centres) arranged as infinite tapes along the a direction.

The crystal structure of Ru(2,2′-bipyridine)2(imidazole)(His83)azurin (RuAz) has been determined to 2.3 Å resolution by X-ray crystallography. The spectroscopic and thermodynamic properties of both the native protein and [Ru(2,2′-bipyridine)2(imidazole)2]2+ are maintained in the modified protein. Dark-green RuAz crystals grown from PEG 4000, LiNO3, CuCl2 and Tris buffer are monoclinic, belong to the space group C2 and have cell parameters a = 100.6, b = 35.4, c = 74.7 Å and β =  106.5°. In addition, [Ru(2,2′-bipyridine)2(imidazole)2]SO4·10H2O was synthesized, crystallized and structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. Red–brown crystals of this complex are monoclinic, space group P21/n, unit-cell parameters a = 13.230 (2), b = 18.197 (4), c = 16.126 (4) Å, β = 108.65 (2)°. Stereochemical parameters for the refinement of Ru(2,2′-bipyridine)2(imidazole)(His83) were taken from the atomic coordinates of [Ru(2,2′-bipyridine)2(imidazole)2]2+. The structure of RuAz confirms that His83 is the only site of chemical modification and that the native azurin structure is not perturbed significantly by the ruthenium label.

ArylamineN-acetyltransferases (NATs) are xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes (XMEs) that catalyze the acetylation of arylamines. All functional NATs described to date possess a strictly conserved Cys-His-Asp catalytic triad. Here, the purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray characterization ofBacillus cereusarylamineN-acetyltransferase 3 [(BACCR)NAT3], a putative NAT isoenzyme that possesses a unique catalytic triad containing a glutamate residue, is reported. The crystal diffracted to 2.42 Å resolution and belonged to the monoclinic space groupC121, with unit-cell parametersa= 90.44,b= 44.52,c = 132.98 Å, β = 103.8°.

Reactions of the Schiff base N,N-dimethyl-N'-((5-methyl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)methylene) ethane-1,2-diamine (HL), synthesised in situ, with chloride or thiocyanate copper (II) salt; afforded two new mononuclear complexes, [Cu(HL)Cl2]·H2O (1) and [Cu(HL)(SCN)2] (2). These compounds have been studied and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and UV-Vis spectroscopies, electrochemistry, molar conductivity and room temperature magnetic measurements. Single crystal X-ray structure determination of the complexes revealed the presence of neutral moieties in the asymmetric unit. The mononuclear (1) crystallises in the monoclinic space group P21/c with the following unit cell parameters a = 7.4355(3) Å, b = 7.2952(3) Å, c = 26.2729(11) Å, β = 93.461(4)°, V = 1422.52(10) Å3, Z = 4, R1 = 0.033 and wR2 = 0.082 and the mononuclear complex (2) crystallises in the monoclinic space group C2/c with the following unit cell parameters a = 26.2578(7) Å, b = 7.4334(2) Å, c = 16.6237(5) Å, β = 99.089(3)°, V = 3203.95(16) Å3, Z = 8, R1 = 0.037 and wR2 = 0.104. In both complexes the ligand acts in tridentate fashion and the coordination environment of the copper atom can be described as distorted square pyramidal. The crystal lattice of the complex 1 is stabilized by electrostatic forces of attraction and O–H···Cl, C–H···O, N–H···Cl, and C–H···Cl, hydrogen bonding interactions while the crystal lattice of the complex 2 is stabilized by N–H···S and C–H···N.
