Abstract

Mass spectrometry has become an essential tool in delineating the structural properties of a new series of amino acid functionalized acyclic diene metathesis (ADMET) polymers known as bioolefins. These measurements, coupled with the measurement of the polymers chemical and physical properties, assist in the determination of their utility as biomaterials. In the present study, a set of five polymers with different bulk size and electronic properties were chosen for structural analyses by MALDI-TOF, MALDI-FTICR, and DIOS-TOF. The obtained data show that due to the competing metathesis and isomerization during ADMET, depending on their structural properties, the olefins display different selectivity toward main metathesis or isomerized products.

Mechanistic investigations of 1-aminocyclopropane 1-carboxylic acid oxidase with alternate cyclic and acyclic substrates.

The behavior of three cyclic and three acyclic analogues of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) with ACC oxidase has been analyzed with regard to turnover rates, product distribution, and O(2) uncoupling. The cyclic analogues all form ethylene, and the acyclic analogues all undergo decarboxylation. The degree of uncoupling varies from almost none (ACC) to 21-fold (glycine), while turnover rates (k(cat)) are all within a factor of 4-fold of that of ACC. The aggregate data point toward a rate-determining formation of an activated iron-oxo intermediate, which partitions between amine oxidation and reductive uncoupling in a manner that is dependent on substrate structure.

Modulation of the morphology of ZnO nanostructures via aminolytic reaction: from nanorods to nanosquamas.

Various diversified morphology-modulated ZnO nanostructures including nanorods, nanotetrahedrons, nanofans, nanodumbbells, and nanosquamas have been successfully prepared via an effective aminolytic reaction of zinc carboxylates with oleylamine in noncoordinating and coordinating solvents. Their shape- and structural defect-dependent optical properties have been investigated as well. Highly crystalline defect-free nanotetrahedrons/nanorods have a sharp band-edge emission, and highly defective nanodumbbells/nanosquamas show a very broad deep-trap emission, resulting from the radiative recombination of electrons with holes in singly ionized oxygen vacancies.

A new class of glucosidase inhibitor: analogues of the naturally occurring glucosidase inhibitor salacinol with different ring heteroatom substituents and acyclic chain extension.

Six chain-extended analogues of the naturally occurring glycosidase inhibitor salacinol, with ring-heteroatom variation, were synthesized for structure-activity studies with different glycosidase enzymes. The syntheses involved the reaction of PMB-protected D- and L- seleno-, thio-, and iminoarabinitol with a benzylidene- and isopropylidene-protected 1,3-cyclic sulfate, derived from commercially available D-sorbitol, in 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol containing potassium carbonate. Deprotection of the products afforded the novel selenonium, sulfonium, and iminium analogues of salacinol containing polyhydroxylated, monosulfated, extended acyclic chains of 6-carbons, differing in stereochemistry at the stereogenic centers and ring-heteroatom constitution. Four of these compounds inhibit recombinant human maltase glucoamylase, one of the key intestinal enzymes involved in the breakdown of glucose oligosaccharides in the small intestine, with Ki values in the micromolar range, thus providing lead candidates for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes.
