A new (NNN) tridentate ligand was prepared, and its ability to coordinate ruthenium(II) was evaluated. The presence of different functional groups on the ligand allows bi- or tri-coordinated complexes to be obtained depending on complexation conditions. The catalytic activity of both bidentate and tridentate complexes was studied in asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of different aryl ketones, showing a comparable behavior of the two complexes in terms of efficiency and stereoselectivity.

A practical and efficient method for the synthesis of alcohols in one pot from readily available alkynes via a tandem process by formic acid promoted hydration and metal-ligand bifunctional iridium-catalyzed­ transfer hydrogenation under mild conditions has been described. This transformation is simple, efficient, and can be performed with a variety of alkynes in good yields and with excellent stereoselectivities. Experimental results showed high catalytic activity, and turnover frequency (TOF) up to 25000. Importantly, this transformation can be conducted in water, and is thus green and environmentally friendly.

Abstract Silencing provides a critical means of repressing transcription through the assembly and modification of chromatin proteins. The NAD+-dependent deacetylation of histones by the Sir2p family of proteins lends mechanistic insight into how SIR2 contributes to silencing. Here we describe three locus-specific sir2 mutants that have a spectrum of silencing phenotypes in yeast. These mutants are dependent on SIR1 for silencing function at the HM silent mating-type loci, display distinct phenotypes at the rDNA, and have dominant silencing defects at the telomeres. Telomeric silencing is restored if the mutant proteins are directly tethered to subtelomeric regions, via a Gal4p DNA-binding domain (GBD), or are recruited by tethered GBD-Sir1p. These sir2 mutations are found within conserved residues of the SIR2 family and lead to defects in catalytic activity. Since one of the mutations lies outside the previously defined minimal catalytic core, our results show that additional regions of Sir2p can be important for enzymatic activity and that differences in levels of activity may have distinct effects at the silenced loci.

To establish an approach for a bulk upscaling of a composit material consisting of calcium carbonate and tunable peptoids we here combined three distinct approaches to thoroughly access the underlying kinetic and thermodynamic driving forces for CaCO3 formation on peptoid polymers. We derived the net interfacial free energy for calcite formation on the nanosheets and self-assemblage monolayers of the sheets constituent functional groups (carboxyl, amine and a 1:1 mix) using: nucleation experiments, dynamic force spectroscopy and theoretical modeling (COSMO-RS). We applied nucleation theory to the results and obtain insight into conditions were we can obtain favorable nucleation conditions on the polymers in a highly controlled manner.
