The solution structure of d(CGCGAATTCGCG)(2) has been determined on the basis of an exceptionally large set of residual dipolar couplings. In addition to the heteronuclear (13)C-(1)H and (15)N-(1)H and qualitative homonuclear (1)H-(1)H dipolar couplings, previously measured in bicelle medium, more than 300 quantitative (1)H-(1)H and 22 (31)P-(1)H dipolar restraints were obtained in liquid cryst...

A catalytic asymmetric double (1,3)-dipolar cycloaddition reaction has been developed. Using a chiral silver catalyst, enantioenriched pyrrolizidines can be prepared in one flask from inexpensive, commercially available starting materials. The pyrrolizidine products contain a variety of substitution patterns and as many as six stereogenic centers.

The structural characterization of a (13)CO-labeled Ir(I) complex bearing an P,N-donor ligand (1-[2-(diphenylphosphino)ethyl]pyrazole), [Ir(PyP)((13)CO)Cl] is demonstrated using a series of tailored solid-state NMR techniques based on ultrafast (60 kHz) Magic Angle Spinning (MAS), which facilitates correlations with narrow proton line-widths. Our 1D (1)H MAS and 2D (13)C and (31)P CP-MAS NMR sp...

The reactivity of 2-oxindoles bearing a C=X double bond (X=C<, N?, O) in the 3-position towards variety 1,3-dipolar species has been reviewed systematic way according to type 1,3-dipole, 2-oxindole dipolarophile, and racemic or asymmetric nature cycloaddition. Because great resulting spiro-2-oxindole skeletons, developments occurred 2010–2020 decade were taken into account.

The global fold of maltose-binding protein in complex with the substrate beta-cyclodextrin was determined by solution NMR methods. The two-domain protein is comprised of a single polypeptide chain of 370 residues, with a molecular mass of 42 kDa. Distance information in the form of H(N)-H(N), H(N)-CH(3) and CH(3)-CH(3) NOEs was recorded on (15)N, (2)H and (15)N, (13)C, (2)H-labeled proteins wit...
