Zinc-67 NMR study of tetrahedral and octahedral zinc sites with symmetrical oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur ligands
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a 67Zn nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) study of compounds containing zinc ions coordinated by oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur ligands. New information concerning 67Zn nuclear quadrupole coupling constants (NQCC) and chemical shift was obtained from magic-angle spinning (MAS) spectra of solid compounds containing both natural abundance and enriched 67Zn isotopes. Rapid ligand exchange processes of [Zn(thiourea)4] 2+ in aqueous solutions were also observed.

Zinc and Health: Current Status and Future Directions Function and Mechanism of Zinc Metalloenzymes
Zinc is required for the activity of . 300 enzymes, covering all six classes of enzymes. Zinc binding sites in proteins are often distorted tetrahedral or trigonal bipyramidal geometry, made up of the sulfur of cysteine, the nitrogen of histidine or the oxygen of aspartate and glutamate, or a combination. Zinc in proteins can either participate directly in chemical catalysis or be important for...
متن کاملSynthesis and characterization of mono- and heterodinuclear complexes of dinucleating macrocyclic ligand bearing hexa- and pentadentate coordination sites
Macrocyclic heterobinuclear Zn(II)–Cu(II) complexes with phenol based dicompartmental ligands possessing contiguous hexa- and penta-coordination sites were prepared by a stepwise procedure. The ligands include similar N4O2 and dissimilar N(imine)3O2 and N(amine)3O2 coordination sites sharing two phenolic oxygen atoms. The six-coordination site comprises two pyridyl pendant arms on the amine nit...

A zinc complex of the 2-benzoylpyridine thiosemicarbazone (Hbpt) ligand, Zn(bpt)2 ·DMF, has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The molecular structure has a Zn2+ cation bonded to two perpendicular bpt ligands in a distorted octahedral geometry through two sulfur and four nitrogen atoms. The crystal contains a disordered DMF...
متن کاملNMR studies of zinc binding in a multi-histidinic peptide fragment.
A multi-histidinic peptide and its minimal models have been investigated for Zn(ii) binding. We have used NMR spectroscopy to probe the binding of zinc to the three repeats (T(1)R(2)S(3)R(4)S(5)H(6)T(7)S(8)E(9)G(10))(3) and to its mono-histidinic minimal models, the 9- and 10-aminoacid fragment. (1)H-(1)H TOCSY, (1)H-(13)C HSQC, (1)H-(1)H NOESY and (1)H-(1)H ROESY multidimensional NMR technique...
متن کاملProbing a Homoleptic PbS3 Coordination Environment in a Designed Peptide Using Pb NMR Spectroscopy: Implications for Understanding the Molecular Basis of Lead Toxicity**
Lead is a ubiquitous environmental contaminant; nearly 5% of American children are affected by lead poisoning (a blood lead level (BLL) of 10 mgdL 1 or higher). Even lower BLLs have been shown to cause many subtle health effects in children. Lead, which is found in paint and soil, causes toxicity by several possible mechanisms. Pb interacts with several zinc enzymes or proteins (such as carboni...
