In this work, series of new chalcones derived from indole compounds were synthesized. the first compound 2-(1,1-dimethyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-benzo[e]indol-2-ylidene)malonaldehyde was synthesized reaction 1,1,2-trimethyl-1H-benzo[e]indole with Phosphoryl chloride in presence (DMF). Schiff base (C2) prepared by 2-(1,1-dimethyl-1,3-dihydro-2H-benzo[e]indol-2-ylidene) malonaldehyde 3-amino acetophenone ...

We investigated the biological activity of four new synthetic analogs of lipid A, termed PE-1, PE-2, PE-3, and PE-4. All compounds contain an alpha-oxyethyl-linked (-O-CH2-CH2-) phosphoryl group in position 1 of the reducing glucosaminyl residue (GlcN I) of lipid A. PE-1 is a hexaacylated analog of Escherichia coli lipid A (compound 506). PE-2 differs from PE-1 in carrying two myristic acid res...

Three distinct classes of compounds can effectively protect ATP-citrate lyase from thermal and proteolytic inactivation. For example, the substrate citrate is the prototype of one of these classes, in this case protecting the enzyme by binding apparently to the active site and causing a conformational change. Other compounds with suitably spaced negative charges (e.g. fructose 1,6bisphosphate, ...

Patatin is a non-specific plant lipase and the eponymous member of a broad class of serine hydrolases termed the patatin-like phospholipase domain containing proteins (PNPLAs). Certain PNPLA family members can be inhibited by organophosphorus (OP) compounds. Currently, no structural data are available on the modes of interaction between the PNPLAs and OP compounds or their native substrates. To...

Divalent metal ions play a crucial role in catalysis by many RNA and protein enzymes that carry out phosphoryl transfer reactions, and defining their interactions with substrates is critical for understanding the mechanism of biological phosphoryl transfer. Although a vast amount of structural work has identified metal ions bound at the active site of many phosphoryl transfer enzymes, the numbe...

Pyruvate, phosphate dikinase (EC 2-7-9-1) catalyzes formation of phosphoenolpyruvate, AMP, and inorganic pyrophosphate from pyruvate, ATP, and orthophosphate. A pyrophosphoryl and phosphoryl form of the enzyme is involved in this transfer. The [32P]phosphoryl form of pyruvate, phosphate dikinase was prepared with enzyme isolated from Bacteroides symbiosus. The [32P]phosphoryl enzyme was found t...
