Fast hydrazone reactants: electronic and acid/base effects strongly influence rate at biological pH.

ABSTRACT: Kinetics studies with structurally varied aldehydes and ketones in aqueous buffer at pH 7.4 reveal that carbonyl compounds with neighboring acid/base groups form hydrazones at accelerated rates. Similarly, tests of a hydrazine with a neighboring carboxylic acid group show that it also reacts at an accelerated rate. Rate constants for the fastest carbonyl/hydrazine combinations are 2-20 M(-1) s(-1), which is faster than recent strain-promoted cycloaddition reactions.

Fast alpha nucleophiles: structures that undergo rapid hydrazone/oxime formation at neutral pH.

Project description:Hydrazones and oximes are widely useful structures for conjugate formation in chemistry and biology, but their formation can be slow at neutral pH. Kinetics studies were performed for a range of structurally varied hydrazines, and a surprisingly large variation in reaction rate was observed. Structures that undergo especially rapid reactions were identified, enabling reaction rates that rival orthogonal cycloaddition-based conjugation chemistries.

pH-Rate profiles establish that polyketide synthase dehydratase domains utilize a single-base mechanism.

Project description:FosDH1 from module 1 of the fostriecin polyketide synthase (PKS) catalyzes the dehydration of a 3-hydroxybutyryl-SACP to the (E)-3-butenoyl-SACP. The steady-state kinetic parameters, kcat and kcat/Km, were determined over the pH range 3.0 to 9.2 for the FosDH1-catalyzed dehydration of the N-acetycsteamine thioester, 3-hydroxybutyryl-SNAC (3), to (E)-3-butenoyl-SNAC (4). The pH rate profiles for both log(kcat) and log(kcat/Km) each corresponded to a single pH-dependent ionization to give an active site general base, with a calculated pKa 6.1 ± 0.2 for kcat and pKa 5.7 ± 0.1 for kcat/Km. These results are inconsistent with the commonly suggested "two-base" (base-acid) mechanism for the dehydratases of PKS and fatty acid biosynthesis and support a simple one-base mechanism in which the universally conserved active site His residue acts as the base to deprotonate C-2 of the substrate, then redonates the proton to the C-3 hydroxyl group to promote C-O bond-cleavage and elimination of water. The carboxylate of the paired Asp or Glu residue is thought to bind and orient the hydroxyl group of the substrate in the stereoelectonically favored conformation.

An Amphiphilic Pyridinoyl-hydrazone Probe for Colorimetric and Fluorescence pH Sensing.

Project description:A new pH sensor based on a substituted aroylhydrazide with a flexible side chain and a terminal trimethyl ammonium group (PHA+) was designed and synthesized. The terminal quaternary ammonium guarantees excellent solubility in water. At the same time, the probe is very soluble in hydrophobic envirornments. The pyridinoyl-hydrazone moiety acts as the pH-sensitive fluorophore/chromophore probe. Extensive physicochemical characterization has been performed on the bromide salt PHABr. DFT calculations, based on single-crystal X-ray data, permitted to rationalize the optical behavior. Molecular dynamics simulations permitted to clarify the mode of interaction with lipid membrane. The ability of the probe to change color and fluorescence in response to different pH and media of different polarity has been investigated. PHABr shows a remarkable pH-dependent behavior in both absorption and fluorescence spectra with high sensitivity and strong on-off switch effect at neutral pH, perceptible even to the naked eye.

Variation of 4 MV X-ray dose rate strongly impacts biological response both in vitro and in vivo.

Project description:Whereas an RBE?>?1 is described for very low-energy X-ray beams (in the range of 25-50?kV), there is a consensus that the RBE of X-rays (from 0.1 to 3?MeV) is equal to 1, whatever the energy or dose rate of the beam. Comparisons of X-ray beam dose rates are scarce even though these beams are widely used in medical diagnosis or radiotherapy. By using two dose rates (0.63 and 2.5?Gy.min-1) of high-energy X-rays on normal endothelial cells (HUVECs), we have studied the clonogenic assay, but also viability/mortality, cell cycle analysis and measured cellular senescence by flow cytometry, and have performed gene analysis on custom arrays. In order to consolidate these data, we performed localized irradiation of exteriorized small intestine at 0.63 and 2.5?Gy.min-1. Interestingly, in vivo validation has shown a significantly higher loss of weight at the higher dose when irradiating to 19?Gy a small fragment of exteriorized small intestine of C57Bl6J mice. Nevertheless, no significant differences were observed in lesioned scores between the two dose rates, while bordering epithelium staining indicated twofold greater severe damage at 2.5?Gy.min-1 compared to 0.63?Gy.min-1 at one week post-irradiation. Taken together, these experiments systematically show that the relative biological effectiveness of photons is different from 1 when varying the dose rate of high-energy X-rays. Moreover, these results strongly suggest that, in support of clonogenic assay, multiparametric analysis should be considered to provide an accurate evaluation of the outcome of irradiated cells.

Vinylboronic Acids as Fast Reacting, Synthetically Accessible, and Stable Bioorthogonal Reactants in the Carboni-Lindsey Reaction.

Project description:Bioorthogonal reactions are widely used for the chemical modification of biomolecules. The application of vinylboronic acids (VBAs) as non-strained, synthetically accessible and water-soluble reaction partners in a bioorthogonal inverse electron-demand Diels-Alder (iEDDA) reaction with 3,6-dipyridyl-s-tetrazines is described. Depending on the substituents, VBA derivatives give second-order rate constants up to 27 m(-1) s(-1) in aqueous environments at room temperature, which is suitable for biological labeling applications. The VBAs are shown to be biocompatible, non-toxic, and highly stable in aqueous media and cell lysate. Furthermore, VBAs can be used orthogonally to the strain-promoted alkyne-azide cycloaddition for protein modification, making them attractive complements to the bioorthogonal molecular toolbox.

Syntheses, characterization, and biological activity of novel mono- and binuclear transition metal complexes with a hydrazone Schiff base derived from a coumarin derivative and oxalyldihydrazine.

Project description:Abstract:A hydrazone Schiff base ligand was synthesized by the condensation of 3-formyl-4-hydroxycoumarin and oxalyldihydrazide in the molar ratio 2:1. The Schiff base ligand acts as a mono-, bi-, tri- or even tetradentate ligand with metal cations in the molar ratios 1:1 or 2:1 (M:L) to yield either mono- or binuclear complexes as keto or enol isomers, where M = Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), VO(IV), and Fe(III). The ligand and its metal complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, IR, 1H NMR, mass, and UV-Vis spectroscopy. Furthermore, the magnetic moments were calculated from the measured electric conductivities of the complexes. According to the received data, the dihydrazone ligand contains one or two units of ONO domains and can bind to the metal ions via the azomethine nitrogen, the carbonyl oxygen atoms, and/or the phenolic oxygen atoms. Electronic spectra and the magnetic moments of all complexes show that the complexes' geometries are either octahedral, tetrahedral, square planar, or square pyramidal. Cyclic voltammograms of the mononuclear Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes show quasi-reversible peaks. Tests against two pathogenic bacteria as Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria for both, the Schiff base ligand and its metal complexes were carried out. In addition, also one kind of fungi was tested. The synthesized complexes demonstrate mild antibacterial and antifungal activities against these organisms. Graphical abstract:

Transcription Rate Strongly Affects Splicing Fidelity and Co-transcriptionality in Budding Yeast

Project description:The functional consequences for alternative splicing of altering the transcription rate have been the subject of intensive study in mammalian cells but less is known about effects on splicing of changing the transcription rate in yeast. We present several lines of evidence showing that slow RNA polymerase II elongation increases both co-transcriptional splicing and splicing efficiency and faster elongation reduces co transcriptional splicing and splicing efficiency in budding yeast, suggesting that splicing is more efficient when co-transcriptional. Moreover, we demonstrate that altering RNA polymerase II elongation rate in either direction compromises splicing fidelity, and we reveal that splicing fidelity depends largely on intron length together with secondary structure and splice site score. These effects are notably stronger for the highly expressed ribosomal protein coding transcripts. We propose that transcription by RNA polymerase II is tuned to optimise the efficiency and accuracy of ribosomal protein gene expression, while allowing flexibility in splice site choice with the nonribosomal protein transcripts.

Fast-moving soft electronic fish.

Project description:Soft robots driven by stimuli-responsive materials have unique advantages over conventional rigid robots, especially in their high adaptability for field exploration and seamless interaction with humans. The grand challenge lies in achieving self-powered soft robots with high mobility, environmental tolerance, and long endurance. We are able to advance a soft electronic fish with a fully integrated onboard system for power and remote control. Without any motor, the fish is driven solely by a soft electroactive structure made of dielectric elastomer and ionically conductive hydrogel. The electronic fish can swim at a speed of 6.4 cm/s (0.69 body length per second), which is much faster than previously reported untethered soft robotic fish driven by soft responsive materials. The fish shows consistent performance in a wide temperature range and permits stealth sailing due to its nearly transparent nature. Furthermore, the fish is robust, as it uses the surrounding water as the electric ground and can operate for 3 hours with one single charge. The design principle can be potentially extended to a variety of flexible devices and soft robots.

All Your Base: a fast and accurate probabilistic approach to base calling.

Project description:The accuracy of base calls produced by Illumina sequencers is adversely affected by several processes, with laser cross-talk and cluster phasing being prominent. We introduce an explicit statistical model of the sequencing process that generalizes current models of phasing and cross-talk and forms the basis of a base calling method which improves on the best existing base callers, especially when comparing the number of error-free reads. The novel algorithms implemented in All Your Base (AYB) are comparable in speed to other competitive base-calling methods, do not require training data and are designed to be robust to gross errors, producing sensible results where other techniques struggle. AYB is available at http://www.ebi.ac.uk/goldman-srv/AYB/.

A theory for colors of strongly correlated electronic systems.

Project description:Many strongly correlated transition metal insulators are colored, even though they have band gaps much larger than the highest energy photons from the visible light. An adequate explanation for the color requires a theoretical approach able to compute subgap excitons in periodic crystals, reliably and without free parameters-a formidable challenge. The literature often fails to disentangle two important factors: what makes excitons form and what makes them optically bright. We pick two archetypal cases as examples: NiO with green color and MnF2 with pink color, and employ two kinds of ab initio many body Green's function theories; the first, a perturbative theory based on low-order extensions of the GW approximation, is able to explain the color in NiO, while the same theory is unable to explain why MnF2 is pink. We show its color originates from higher order spin-flip transitions that modify the optical response, which is contained in dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT). We show that symmetry lowering mechanisms may determine how 'bright' these excitons are, but they are not fundamental to their existence.
