The gold(I) phosphinine complexes [AuCl(C5H2P-2,6-Me2-4-Ph)] and [AuCl(C5H2P-2,4,6-Ph3)] were prepared and structurally characterised by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. In the former case, individual molecules are aggregated in the crystal as crossed dimers with an Au···Au distance of 3.60 Å, compatible with a weak aurophilic interaction. In the latter case, intermolecular Au···π inte...

In this paper, the hydrogen bonding (HB) effects on the NMR chemical shifts of selected atoms in serineand serine-nH2O complexes (from one to ten water molecules) have been investigated with quantummechanical calculations of the 15N and 13C tensors. Interaction with water molecules causes importantchanges in geometry and electronic structure of serine.For the compound studied, the most importan...

Storage of proteins is a physiological means to provide a reservoir for regulated utilization by the organism. Examples are the intracellular storage of exportable proteins in secretion granules, e.g., in exocrine glands, and the extracellular deposition of secretory proteins, e.g., of thyroglobulin (TG) in the lumina of thyroid follicles. In all cases, tight packaging of protein molecules is o...
