Direct Evidence of Active-Site Reduction and Photodriven Catalysis in Sensitized Hydrogenase Assemblies

Synthetic [FeFe] Hydrogenase Active Site Model Complexes

O2 reduction and O2-induced damage at the active site of FeFe hydrogenase

FeFe hydrogenases are the most efficient H2 producing enzymes, but inactivation by O2 is an obstacle to using them in biotechnological devices. Here we combine electrochemistry, sitedirected mutagenesis, molecular dynamics and quantum chemical calculations to uncover the molecular mechanism of O2 diffusion within the enzyme and its reactions at the active site. We find that the partial reversib...

synthesis of 3-aryl-2h-benzo[b]-1,4-oxazines in [omim]bf4 and reduction of organic compounds in methylimidazolium formate

در این پروژه ترکیبات 3-آریل-2h-بنزو[b]-4،1-اکسازین ها از مواد اولیه تجاری مشتقات دو آمینو فنول و ?-هالو کتون های آروماتیک در مایع یونی 1-اکتیل-3-متیل ایمیدازولیوم تترا فلورو بورات([omim]bf4) سنتز شده است. این واکنش توسط باز پتاسیم کربنات محلول از طریق o-آلکیلاسیون و سپس یک واکنش آمیداسیون درون مولکولی خود بخود در مدت زمان کوتاه انجام می شود. ترکیبات 4،1-بنزوکسازین به این روش با بهره خوب تا آلی ...

Synthetic Active Site Model of the [NiFeSe] Hydrogenase

A dinuclear synthetic model of the [NiFeSe] hydrogenase active site and a structural, spectroscopic and electrochemical analysis of this complex is reported. [NiFe('S2Se2')(CO)3] (H2'S2Se2' = 1,2-bis(2-thiabutyl-3,3-dimethyl-4-selenol)benzene) has been synthesized by reacting the nickel selenolate complex [Ni('S2Se2')] with [Fe(CO)3bda] (bda = benzylideneacetone). X-ray crystal structure analys...

Evidence of Tryptophan at or near Active Site of Glucoamylase I of Arthrobotrys amerospora

Arthrobotrysamerospora (ATCC 34468) produced glucoamylase in a semi-synthetic medium containing starch as a sole carbon source. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of crude glucoamylase showed three isoenzymes. They were designated as glu I, glu II and glu III according to their electrophoretic mobility. These iso-glucoamylases were purified by column chromatography using DEAE-Sephadex A-50. The...
