Control of the cavity size of flexible covalent cages by silver coordination to the peripheral binding sites.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The synthesis of covalent cages consisting of two porphyrins connected by four flexible spacers each incorporating two 1,2,3-triazolyl ligands is reported. Binding of four silver(I) to the peripheral ligands induces conformational changes in solution and locks the porphyrins in a face-to-face disposition.

Molecular dynamics simulation and docking studies on the binding properties of several anticancer drugs to human serum albumin
Disposition and transportation of anticancer drugs by human serum albumin (HSA) affects their bioavailability, distribution and elimination. In this study, the interaction of a set of anticancer drugs with HSA was investigated by molecular dynamics and molecular docking simulations. The drugs' activities were analyzed according to their docking scores, binding sites and structural descriptors. ...
متن کاملGeometric isomerism in coordination cages based on tris-chelate vertices: a tool to control both assembly and host/guest chemistry.
This 'Perspective' article summarises recent work from the authors' research group on the exploitation of the simple fac/mer geometric isomerism of octahedral metal tris-chelates as a tool to control the chemistry of coordination cages based on bis(pyrazolyl-pyridine) ligands, in two different respects. Firstly this geometric isomerism plays a major role in controlling the guest binding propert...
متن کاملIdentification of RNA-binding sites in artemin based on docking energy landscapes and molecular dynamics simulation
There are questions concerning the functions of artemin, an abundant stress protein found in Artemiaduring embryo development. It has been reported that artemin binds RNA at high temperatures in vitro, suggesting an RNA protective role. In this study, we investigated the possibility of the presence of RNA-bindingsites and their structural properties in artemin, using docking energy ...

Coordination of Cu+ ions adsorbed on plausible sites of a silicalite-2 lattice has been investigated computationally via hybrid density functional theory method at the B3LYP/6-311+G* and B3LYP/Def2-TZVP levels of theory using molecular models of the active site. The symmetrical coordination of Cu+ ions to almost five oxygen atoms of the all-silica framework in six-membered ring (6MR) sites of t...
متن کاملSilver Resistance In Acinetobacter baumannii BL54 Occurs Through Binding to a Ag-Binding Protein
The mechanism of plasmid mediated silver (Ag) resistance was investigated in Acinetobacter baumanniiBL54. The intracellular accumulation of Ag in both original strain BL54 and Escherichia coli K12transconjugant containing plasmid pUPI276 began immediately and reached a maximum within 60 minutes.This initial accumulation was followed by net loss of Ag which reached a maximum wi...
