Small molecules reveal an alternative mechanism of Bax activation.
The pro-apoptotic protein Bax commits a cell to death by permeabilizing the mitochondrial outer membrane (MOM). To obtain small-molecule probes for elucidating the molecular mechanism(s) of Bax activation, we screened for compounds that induced Bax-mediated liposome permeabilization. We identified five structurally different small molecules that promoted both Bax targeting to and oligomerizatio...
متن کاملStudies on the Enantioselective Iminium Ion Trapping of Radicals Triggered by an Electron-Relay Mechanism
A combination of electrochemical, spectroscopic, computational, and kinetic studies has been used to elucidate the key mechanistic aspects of the previously reported enantioselective iminium ion trapping of photochemically generated carbon-centered radicals. The process, which provides a direct way to forge quaternary stereocenters with high fidelity, relies on the interplay of two distinct cat...
متن کاملAn expanded mechanism for rhodanese catalysis.
The kinetic behavior of rhodanese (thiosulfate: cyanide sulfurtransferase, EC 2.8.1.1) was investigated at pH values from 5.0 to 10.8. The binding of thiosulfate was shown to be dependent upon a pK’ of 9.9, with the protonated enzyme binding the substrate much more strongly than the deprotonated form. An enzymic nucleophile displaces sulfite to form the sulfur-substituted enzyme. This reaction ...
متن کاملKinetic Resolution in Asymmetric Epoxidation using Iminium Salt Catalysis
The first reported examples of kinetic resolution in epoxidation reactions using iminium salt catalysis are described, providing up to 99% ee in the epoxidation of racemic cis-chromenes.
متن کاملContribution of cation-π interactions in iminium catalysis.
Ab initio calculations were carried out for a benzyl-substituted iminium cation derived from (E)-crotonaldehyde and a chiral imidazolidinone that was developed as an organocatalyst by MacMillan et al. At the MP2 level of theory it is predicted that the phenyl group is close to the iminium moiety in the most stable conformer, suggesting that the cation-π interaction contributes to the stabilizat...
