Mechanism-based design of labile precursors for chromium(I) chemistry.

ABSTRACT: Dinitrogen complexes of the type Tp(R,R)Cr-N2-CrTp(R,R) are not the most labile precursors for Cr(i) chemistry, as they are sterically protected from obligatory associative ligand substitution. A mononuclear alkyne complex - Tp(tBu,Me)Cr(?(2)-C2(SiMe3)2) - proved to be much more reactive.

A chemistry-based orthogonal enzyme-substrate design strategy for discovery of substrates of protein palmitoyltransferases

Project description:Attachment of lipids to proteins is a key form of protein modification which intersects with all areas of cellular physiology 1 . Of these, the most pervasive form of protein lipidation is protein S-acylation, also commonly known as protein palmitoylation. Protein palmitoylation is a post-translational modification whereby long chain fatty acids, most typically the 16-carbon palmitic acid, is attached to a cytosol-facing cysteine through a thioester linkage. More than 10% of the proteome is targeted by this modification2, which is catalyzed by members of the zDHHC family of integral membrane enzymes. In humans, there are 23 members of the zDHHC family localized at a variety of organellar membranes as well as the plasma membrane that catalyze protein palmitoylation. Despite having been discovered more than twenty years ago 3 4 the chemistry and biology of many of the zDHHC members remain poorly understood and for several members, few substrates have been characterized. Intriguingly, there are no primary sequence determinants that dictate sites of protein palmitoylation. Cysteines that are proximal to the membrane have a high propensity of being palmitoylated.

Chemistry Design Towards a Stable Sulfide-Based Superionic Conductor Li4 Cu8 Ge3 S12.

Project description:Sulfide-based superionic conductors with high ionic conductivity have been explored as candidates for solid-state Li batteries. However, moisture hypersensitivity has made their manufacture complicated and costly and also impeded applications in batteries. Now, a sulfide-based superionic conductor Li4 Cu8 Ge3 S12 with superior stability was developed based on the hard/soft acid-base theory. The compound is stable in both moist air and aqueous LiOH aqueous solution. The electrochemical stability window was up to 1.5?V. An ionic conductivity of 0.9×10-4 ?S?cm with low activation energy of 0.33?eV was achieved without any optimization. The material features a rigid Cu-Ge-S open framework that increases its stability. Meanwhile, the weak bonding between Li+ and the framework promotes ionic conductivity. This work provides a structural configuration in which weak Li bonding in the rigid framework promotes an environment for highly conductive and stable solid-state electrolytes.

Robust Chromium Precursors for Catalysis: Isolation and Structure of a Single-Component Ethylene Tetramerization Precatalyst.

Project description:We have introduced a new class of stable organometallic Cr reagents (compounds 1-4) that are readily prepared, yet reactive enough to serve as precursors. They were used for ethylene tetramerization catalysis following stoichiometric activation by in situ protonation. This study highlights the importance of balancing stability with reactivity in generating an organometallic precursor that is useful in catalysis. Moreover, precursor 4 allowed for the isolation and crystallographic characterization of a room-temperature stable cationic species, (PNP)CrR2+ (R = o-C6H4(CH2)2OMe, PNP = iPrN(PPh2)2). This complex (5) may be used as a single component precatalyst, without any alkylaluminum reagents. This result provides an unprecedented level of insight into the kind of structures that must be produced from more complicated activation processes.

Ruthenium-Based Catalytic Systems Incorporating a Labile Cyclooctadiene Ligand with <i>N</i>-Heterocyclic Carbene Precursors for the Atom-Economic Alcohol Amidation Using Amines.

Project description:Transition-metal-catalyzed amide-bond formation from alcohols and amines is an atom-economic and eco-friendly route. Herein, we identified a highly active in situ N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)/ruthenium (Ru) catalytic system for this amide synthesis. Various substrates, including sterically hindered ones, could be directly transformed into the corresponding amides with the catalyst loading as low as 0.25 mol.%. In this system, we replaced the p-cymene ligand of the Ru source with a relatively labile cyclooctadiene (cod) ligand so as to more efficiently obtain the corresponding poly-carbene Ru species. Expectedly, the weaker cod ligand could be more easily substituted with multiple mono-NHC ligands. Further high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) analyses revealed that two tetra-carbene complexes were probably generated from the in situ catalytic system.

Antisite occupation induced single anionic redox chemistry and structural stabilization of layered sodium chromium sulfide.

Project description:The intercalation compounds with various electrochemically active or inactive elements in the layered structure have been the subject of increasing interest due to their high capacities, good reversibility, simple structures, and ease of synthesis. However, their reversible intercalation/deintercalation redox chemistries in previous compounds involve a single cationic redox reaction or a cumulative cationic and anionic redox reaction. Here we report an anionic redox chemistry and structural stabilization of layered sodium chromium sulfide. It was discovered that the sulfur in sodium chromium sulfide is electrochemically active, undergoing oxidation/reduction rather than chromium. Significantly, sodium ions can successfully move out and into without changing its lattice parameter c, which is explained in terms of the occurrence of chromium/sodium vacancy antisite during desodiation and sodiation processes. Our present work not only enriches the electrochemistry of layered intercalation compounds, but also extends the scope of investigation on high-capacity electrodes.The rational design of intercalation electrodes is largely confined to the optimization of redox chemistry of transition metals and oxygen. Here, the authors report the single anionic redox process in NaCrS2 where it is sulfur rather than chromium that works as the electrochemical active species.

Conversion of biosynthetic precursors of RNA to those of DNA by photoredox chemistry.

Project description:Soon after the origin of RNA-based life, depletion of prebiotically synthesised ribonucleotides would have driven the evolution of a biosynthetic pathway to these key building blocks. Ribozyme-catalysed nucleosidation-the key biosynthetic step-requires that ribose and the nucleobases are produced by abiotic chemistry and are relatively stable to the conditions of their synthesis. The most plausible prebiotic synthesis of sugars involves photoreduction of cyanohydrins by hydrogen sulphide in the presence of copper(I) cyanide, and we therefore subjected ribose to these conditions whereupon it was partially converted to 2-deoxyribose. Furthermore, a derivative of uracil is reduced under similar conditions to thymine. Thus, DNA biosynthetic precursors can be formed abiotically from those of RNA allowing for an early evolutionary transition to life based on RNA and DNA.

Design and mechanism of tetrahydrothiophene-based ?-aminobutyric acid aminotransferase inactivators.

Project description:Low levels of ?-aminobutyric acid (GABA), one of two major neurotransmitters that regulate brain neuronal activity, are associated with many neurological disorders, such as epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, and cocaine addiction. One of the main methods to raise the GABA level in human brain is to use small molecules that cross the blood-brain barrier and inhibit the activity of ?-aminobutyric acid aminotransferase (GABA-AT), the enzyme that degrades GABA. We have designed a series of conformationally restricted tetrahydrothiophene-based GABA analogues with a properly positioned leaving group that could facilitate a ring-opening mechanism, leading to inactivation of GABA-AT. One compound in the series is 8 times more efficient an inactivator of GABA-AT than vigabatrin, the only FDA-approved inactivator of GABA-AT. Our mechanistic studies show that the compound inactivates GABA-AT by a new mechanism. The metabolite resulting from inactivation does not covalently bind to amino acid residues of GABA-AT but stays in the active site via H-bonding interactions with Arg-192, a ?-? interaction with Phe-189, and a weak nonbonded S···O?C interaction with Glu-270, thereby inactivating the enzyme.

Photolabile Linkers: Exploiting Labile Bond Chemistry to Control Mode and Rate of Hydrogel Degradation and Protein Release.

Project description:Photolabile moieties have been utilized in applications ranging from peptide synthesis and controlled protein activation to tunable and dynamic materials. The photochromic properties of nitrobenzyl (NB) based linkers are readily tuned to respond to cytocompatible light doses and are widely utilized in cell culture and other biological applications. While widely utilized, little is known about how the microenvironment, particularly confined aqueous environments (e.g., hydrogels), affects both the mode and rate of cleavage of NB moieties, leading to unpredictable limitations in control over system properties (e.g., rapid hydrolysis or slow photolysis). To address these challenges, we synthesized and characterized the photolysis and hydrolysis of NB moieties containing different labile bonds (i.e., ester, amide, carbonate, or carbamate) that served as labile crosslinks within step-growth hydrogels. We observed that NB ester bond exhibited significant rates of both photolysis and hydrolysis, whereas, importantly, the NB carbamate bond had superior light responsiveness and resistance to hydrolysis within the hydrogel microenvironment. Exploiting this synergy and orthogonality of photolytic and hydrolytic degradation, we designed concentric cylinder hydrogels loaded with different cargoes (e.g., model protein with different fluorophores) for either combinatorial or sequential release, respectively. Overall, this work provides new facile chemical approaches for tuning the degradability of NB linkers and an innovative strategy for the construction of multimodal degradable hydrogels, which can be utilized to guide the design of not only tunable materials platforms but also controlled synthetic protocols or surface modification strategies.
