Conjugated Enamino Compounds, a New Molecular Probe for the Mechanism of Photosynthetic Electron Transport
نویسندگان
چکیده
A series of 2-(l-alkylamino)vinylidene-l,3-cyclohexanedione was synthesized and assayed as inhibitors of the Hill reaction in isolated chloroplasts. The pls() value of this series was dramatical ly changed by modification of the peripheral of its hydrophilic moiety and the maximum p l50 value of this series was almost equal to that of DCMU. The results suggest that this series may be a good probe for searching the environment of inhibitors binding site because of its chemical and biologi cal characteristics and its ease of synthesis.

متن کاملFirst Princiles Study of the Electron Transport Properties of Buthane-dithiol Nano-Molecular Wire
We report a first-principles study of electrical transport in a single molecular conductor consisting of a buthane-dithiol sandwiched between two Au (100) electrodes. We show that the current was increased by increasing of the external voltage biases. The projected density of states (PDOS) and transmission coefficients (T(E)) under various external voltage biases are analyzed, and it suggests t...
متن کاملTopological Relationship Between One-Dimensional Box Model and Randić Indices in Linear Simple Conjugated Polyenes
The alternative double bonds and conjugation in the polyene compounds are one of the main properties in these compounds. Each carbon-carbon bonds in a polyene compound along the chain has appreciable double-bond character. The p-electrons are therefore not localized but are relatively free to move throughout the entire carbon skeleton as an one-dimensional box. The skeleton be considered as a r...
