Bisthioxanthylidene biscrown ethers as potential stereodivergent chiral ligands.
The concept of bisthioxanthylidene biscrown ethers as potential stereodivergent chiral ligands in asymmetric synthesis is introduced. Substituted bisthioxanthylidenes may be chiral and can exist as stable enantiomers due to their folded structure. As a result, both a right-handed helix (P) and left-handed helix (M) are present in this type of molecule. This offers the unique possibility to cons...
متن کاملMolecular Insight into the Mutual Interactions of Two Transmembrane Domains of Human Glycine Receptor (TM23-GlyR), with the Lipid Bilayers
Appearing as a computational microscope, MD simulation can ‘zoom in’ to atomic resolution to assess detailed interactions of a membrane protein with its surrounding lipids, which play important roles in the stability and function of such proteins. This study has employed the molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, to determine the effect of added DMPC or DMTAP molecules on the structure of D...
متن کاملInteractions of polybrominated diphenyl ethers with the aryl hydrocarbon receptor pathway.
Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are brominated flame retardants that have been in use as additives in various consumer products. Structural similarities of PBDEs with other polyhalogenated aromatic hydrocarbons that show affinity for the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), such as some polychlorinated biphenyls, raised concerns about their possible dioxin-like properties. We studied the abi...
متن کاملInvestigations into GABAb receptor surface stability and molecular interactions
Whereas most G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are monomeric in structure, y-Aminobutyric acid type B (GABAb) receptors are heterodimers of two seven transmembrane protein subunits, GABAB(i) and GABAB(2>. GABAb receptor function is dependent upon the co-expression of both these proteins which, when individually expressed, are devoid of receptor activity. Desensitisation of cell surface recept...
متن کاملToward Engineering Synthetic Microbial Metabolism
The generation of well-characterized parts and the formulation of biological design principles in synthetic biology are laying the foundation for more complex and advanced microbial metabolic engineering. Improvements in de novo DNA synthesis and codon-optimization alone are already contributing to the manufacturing of pathway enzymes with improved or novel function. Further development of anal...
