AbstractKnoevenagel condensation of phenylacetonitrile with 4-diphenylaminophenylacetonitrile in the presence of piperidine was carried out to obtain a novel conjugated compound. In addition to the expected compound 2-(phenyl)-3-(4-diphenylaminophenyl)acrylonitrile (I), the 3-((4-diphenylamino)phenyl)-2,4-diphenylpentanedinitrile (II) was also obtained with a good yield. Compound II was obtained as a result of the Michael addition of phenylacetonitrile with 2-(phenyl)-3-(4-diphenylaminophenyl)acrylonitrile (I). Conversely, when the same reaction was performed in the presence of KOH as catalyst, only the α,β-unsaturated nitrile (I) was afforded with a 92 % yield. The structures were confirmed with IR, EI-MS and NMR spectroscopy. Single crystals I and II were formed and their structures were determined by X-ray single-crystal diffraction analysis. Crystal I belongs to the monoclinic system with space group P21/n having unit cell parameters of a = 16.8589(5) Å, b = 6.68223(17) Å, c = 19.8289(7) Å, β = 111.133(4)○ and Z = 4. Crystal II belongs to the same monoclinic system with space group P21/c, having unit cell parameters of a = 10.8597(4) Å, b = 24.7533(10) Å, c = 9.7832(4) Å, β = 91.297(3)○ and Z = 4. In addition to the structural data analysis, some theoretical calculations that reveal the nature of relevant structure-property relationships are also reported.

Gluconate 5-dehydrogenase (Ga5DH; EC 1.1.1.69) from Lentibacter algarum (LaGa5DH) was recombinantly expressed in Escherichia coli and purified to homogeneity. The protein was crystallized and the crystal structure was solved at 2.1 Å resolution. The crystal belonged to the monoclinic system, with space group P1 and unit-cell parameters a = 55.42, b = 55.48, c = 79.16 Å, α = 100.51, β = 105.66, γ = 97.99°. The structure revealed LaGaDH to be a tetramer, with each subunit consisting of six α-helices and three antiparallel β-hairpins. LaGa5DH has high structural similarity to other Ga5DH proteins, demonstrating that this enzyme is highly conserved.

X-ray diffraction investigations of two phenol derivatives - 2,2′-Thiobis(4-methyl-6-tert-butylphenol) and 2,2′-Methylenebis(4-methyl-6-tert-butylphenol) were carried out. Both compounds at room temperature have similar cell volume and the same number of molecules in an unit cell. However, 2,2′-Thiobis(4-methyl-6-tert-butylphenol) crystallizes in the monoclinic system with unit cell parameters refined to a=0.8278(2) nm, b=1.2968(4) nm, c=1.9493(7) nm, β=90.93(2)°, space group P21∕n(14), whereas 2,2′-Methylenebis(4-methyl-6-tert-butylphenol) crystallizes in the orthorhombic system with unit cell parameters refined to a=1.6203(5) nm, b=1.2827(5) nm, c=1.0197(3) nm, space group Pna21(33). The investigated C22H30O2S turned out to be a new polymorph of 2,2′-Thiobis(4-methyl-6-tert-butylphenol).

Adenylate kinases (AdKs; EC 2.7.3.4) play a critical role in intercellular homeostasis by the interconversion of ATP and AMP to two ADP molecules. Crystal structures of adenylate kinase fromStreptococcus pneumoniaeD39 (SpAdK) have recently been determined using ligand-free and inhibitor-bound crystals belonging to space groupsP21andP1, respectively. Here, new crystal structures of SpAdK in ligand-free and inhibitor-bound states determined at 1.96 and 1.65 Å resolution, respectively, are reported. The new ligand-free crystal belonged to space groupC2, with unit-cell parametersa= 73.5,b= 54.3,c= 62.7 Å, β = 118.8°. The new ligand-free structure revealed an open conformation that differed from the previously determined conformation, with an r.m.s.d on Cαatoms of 1.4 Å. The new crystal of the complex with the two-substrate-mimicking inhibitorP1,P5-bis(adenosine-5′-)pentaphosphate (Ap5A) belonged to space groupP1, with unit-cell parametersa= 53.9,b= 62.3,c= 63.0 Å, α = 101.9, β = 112.6, γ = 89.9°. Despite belonging to the same space group as the previously reported crystal, the new Ap5A-bound crystal contains four molecules in the asymmetric unit, compared with two in the previous crystal, and shows slightly different lattice contacts. These results demonstrate that SpAdK can crystallize promiscuously in different forms and that the open structure is flexible in conformation.
