چکیده

The inhibition of ribonuclease Bi by 3'-N-hydroxyurea-3'-deoxythymidine 5'-phosphate is enhanced by 30-fold in the presence of Zn(2+). Thus, an N-hydroxyurea nucleotide can recruit Zn(2+) to inhibit the enzymatic activity of a ribonuclease. This result engenders a general strategy for the inhibition of non-metalloenzymes by metal complexes.

Zinc(II)-mediated inhibition of ribonuclease Sa by an N-hydroxyurea nucleotide and its basis.

Ribonuclease Sa (RNase Sa) is a secretory ribonuclease from Streptomyces aureofaciens. Herein, 3'-N-hydroxyurea-3'-deoxythymidine 5'-phosphate is shown to be a competitive inhibitor of catalysis by RNase Sa. Inhibition is enhanced by nearly 10-fold in the presence of Zn(2+), which could coordinate to the N-hydroxyurea group along with enzymic residues. The carboxylate of Glu54 is the putative b...

Synthesis of Zinc Dimethyldithiocarbamate by Reductive Disulfide Bond Cleavage of Tetramethylthiuram Disulfide in Presence of Zn2+

The zinc(II) complex [Zn2(dmdtc)2(μ-dmdtc)2] has been synthesized directly from thiram ligand, containing a disulfide bond {dmdtc = N,N-dimethyldithiocarbamate; thiram = N,N-tetramethylthiuram disulfide}, and characterized by elemental analysis and spectroscopic methods. Surprisingly thiram, undergoes a reductive disulfide bond scission upon reaction with Zn2+ in methanolic media to give the [Z...

Acetylacetonate Complexes as New Corrosion Inhibitors in Phosphoric Acid Media: Inhibition and Synergism Study

The corrosion inhibition performance of acetylacetonate complexes of zinc(II), manganese(II), cobalt(II) and copper(II) on the mild steel substrate in 1M H3PO4 was studied using DC polarization. It was seen that the mentioned complexes decreased corrosion rate of mild steel in phosphoric acid media due to the adsorption on metal surface. The potential of mild steel shifted toward more active po...
