Notes

This paper uses this system to interrogate the behavior of LH proteins at the micro- and nanoscale and assesses the efficacy of this model
A combination of fluorescence lifetime imaging and atomic force microscopy reveals the differences in photophysical state and lateral organization between native thylakoid and hybrid membranes, the mechanism of LH protein incorporation into the developing hybrid membranes, and the nanoscale structure of the system. The resulting model system within each corral is a high-quality supported lipid bilayer that incorporates laterally mobile LH proteins. Photosynthetic activity is assessed in the hybrid membranes versus proteoliposomes, revealing that commonly used photochemical assays to test the electron transfer activity of photosystem II may actually produce false-positive results.Carbon Nanotubes Labeled with Aptamer and Horseradish Peroxidase as a Probe for Highly Sensitive Protein Biosensing by Postelectropolymerization of Insoluble (Ministry of Education), College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Hunan Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) labeled with aptamer and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) were used as a probe to amplify the impedimetric sensing of the aptamer-protein (with thrombin as the model) interaction. Photobase Generator -biocatalyzed oxidation of 3,3-diaminobenzidine (DAB) in the presence of H2O2 and the postelectropolymerization of insoluble precipitates produced on the electrode supports were used as a signal amplification route for the sensing process. Thrombin was sensed by aptamer 1 immobilized on a glassy carbon electrode.

6-butyl-n-hydroxynaphthimide trifluoromethanesulfonic acid as a Catalyst in Organic Transformations multiwalled CNT-aptamer 2-HRP probe was linked to the aptamer 1-thrombin complex through the thrombin-aptamer 2 interaction. The postelectropolymerization of biocatalyzed precipitates of DAB on the electrode greatly increased the electron-transfer resistance at the electrode-solution interface. Cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were employed to follow the stepwise fabrication of the aptasensor and impedimetric detection of thrombin. Thrombin concentration as low as 05 pM could be detected by this method. In addition, the proposed impedimetric aptasensor exhibits good sensitivity (5195 Ω decade(-1)), selectivity, and reproducibility. The aptasensor also has acceptable recovery for thrombin detection in complex Probing the 'bipolar' nature of the carbonic anhydrase active site: aromatic sulfonamides containing 1,3-oxazol-5-yl moiety as picomolar inhibitors of Prospect, Peterhof, 198504, Russian Federation.

A series of potent inhibitors of human carbonic anhydrase (CA) isoforms I and II has been prepared via a direct, chemoselective sulfochlorination of a range of 1,3-oxazolyl benzenes and thiophenes, followed by primary sulfonamide synthesis. The latter functionality is a known zinc-binding group (ZBG) responsible for anchoring the inhibitors to the CA's zinc metal ion. The compound's periphery as well as the overall scaffold geometry was designed to enable optimal interactions with the two distinct sides of the enzyme's active site, one of which is lined with hydrophobic residues and while the other is predominantly hydrophilic. As a result, several compounds inhibiting the therapeutically important cytosolic CA I and CA II in picomolar range have been identified.

These compounds are one of the most potent CA inhibitors identified to-date. Not only the remarkable (>10 000-fold), cytosolic CA I and CA II selectivity vs. the membrane-bound CA IX and CA XII isoforms, but also the pronounced CA II/I selectivity observed in some cases, allow considering this series as a set of isoform-selective chemical biology tools and promising starting points for drug Insight into 2α-Chloro-2'(2',6')-(Di)Halogenopicropodophyllotoxins Reacting with Carboxylic Acids Mediated by BF3·Et2O.Stereospecific nucleophilic substitution at the C-4α position of 2α-chloro-2'(2',6')-(di)halogenopicropodophyllotoxin derivatives with carboxylic acids mediated by BF3·Et2O was described. Interestingly, this stereoselective products were completely controlled by the reaction time. That is, if the reaction time was prolonged to 24-31 h, the resulting compounds were all transformed into the unusual C-ring aromatization products. Additionally, it demonstrated that BF3·Et2O and reaction temperature were the important factors for C-ring aromatization, and AlCl3 could be substituted for BF3·Et2O as a lewis acid for C-ring aromatization.

Halogenation of E-ring of 2β-chloropodophyllotoxins with NCS or NBS also led to the same C-ring aromatization compounds. Especially compounds 5c, 6g and 7b exhibited insecticidal activity equal to that of toosendanin667.
