Network Formation via Anion Coordination: Crystal Structures Based on the Interplay of Non-Covalent Interactions.

ABSTRACT: We describe the synthesis and the structural characterization of new H?L(CF?CO?)? (1) and H?L(Ph?PO?)? (2) compounds containing the diprotonated form (H?L2+) of the tetrazine-based molecule 3,6-di(pyridin-4-yl)-1,2,4,5-tetrazine. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis of single crystals of these compounds showed that H?L2+ displays similar binding properties toward both anions when salt bridge interactions are taken into account. Nevertheless, the different shapes, sizes and functionalities of trifluoroacetate and diphenyl phosphate anions define quite different organization patterns leading to the peculiar crystal lattices of 1 and 2. These three-dimensional (3D) architectures are self-assembled by a variety of non-covalent forces, among which prominent roles are played by fluorine-? (in 1) and anion-? (in 2) interactions.

Non-Covalent Interactions in the Crystal Structures of Perbrominated Sulfonium Derivatives of the closo-Decaborate Anion.

Project description:A new series of compounds based on perbrominated disubstituted sulfonium derivatives of the closo-decaborate anion (n-Bu4N)[2-B10Br9SR2] (R = n-Pr, i-Pr, n-Bu, n-C8H17, n-C12H25, n-C18H37) was obtained, characterised by modern physicochemical methods of analysis. According to the results of an X-ray diffraction study, some of the anions and solvate molecules were disordered. The cations (n-Bu4N)+ and anions [2-B10Br9SR2]- were associated via C-H…Br and H…H contacts. In addition, Br…Br interactions between anions were revealed. The role of these contacts was analysed in terms of Hirshfeld surface analysis, QTAIM theory and the NCI method using quantum chemical calculations. An increase in the size of the alkyl R moiety led to significant strengthening of the total energy of H…H interactions. In the case of R = -n-C18H37, a parallel mutual orientation of alkyl moieties was established that was similar to the packing of salts of fatty acids. The nature of C-H…Br and Br…Br interionic interactions was found to be attractive, in contrast to the repulsive nature of intermolecular Br…Br interactions.

Crystal structures of coordination polymers from CaI2 and proline.

Project description:Completing our reports concerning the reaction products from calcium halides and the amino acid proline, two different solids were found for the reaction of l- and dl-proline with CaI2. The enanti-opure amino acid yields the one-dimensional coordination polymer catena-poly[[aqua-μ3-l-proline-tetra-μ2-l-proline-dicalcium] tetra-iodide 1.7-hydrate], {[Ca2(C5H9NO2)5(H2O)]I4·1.7H2O} n , (1), with two independent Ca(2+) cations in characteristic seven- and eightfold coordination. Five symmetry-independent zwitterionic l-proline mol-ecules bridge the metal sites into a cationic polymer. Racemic proline forms with Ca(2+) cations heterochiral chains of the one-dimensional polymer catena-poly[[di-aquadi-μ2-dl-proline-calcium] diiodide], {[Ca(C5H9NO2)2(H2O)2]I2} n , (2). The centrosymmetric structure is built by one Ca(2+) cation that is bridged towards its symmetry equivalents by two zwitterionic proline mol-ecules. In both structures, the iodide ions remain non-coordinating and hydrogen bonds are formed between these counter-anions, the amino groups, coordinating and co-crystallized water mol-ecules. While the overall composition of (1) and (2) is in line with other structures from calcium halides and amino acids, the diversity of the carboxyl-ate coordination geometry is quite surprising.

Formation of TbPc2 Single-Molecule Magnets' Covalent 1D Structures via Acyclic Diene Metathesis.

Project description:We present here a reaction scheme to connect TbPc2 single-molecule magnets into 1D architectures using acyclic diene metathesis. To investigate the impact of the bonding through aliphatic chains on the magnetic properties of TbPc2, we isolate and characterize the dimeric species obtained as one of the products of the reaction. Remarkably, the magnetic properties are only slightly modified after the formation of the bond between molecules, enlightening the great potential of this reaction scheme.

A Comprehensive Analysis of Anion-Quadrupole Interactions in Protein Structures.

Project description:The edgewise interactions of anions with phenylalanine (Phe) aromatic rings in proteins, known as anion-quadrupole interactions, have been well studied. However, the anion-quadrupole interactions of the tyrosine (Tyr) and tryptophan (Trp) rings have been less well studied, probably because these have been considered weaker than interactions of anions hydrogen bonded to Trp/Tyr side chains. Distinguishing such hydrogen bonding interactions, we comprehensively surveyed the edgewise interactions of certain anions (aspartate, glutamate, and phosphate) with Trp, Tyr, and Phe rings in high-resolution, nonredundant protein single chains and interfaces (protein-protein, DNA/RNA-protein, and membrane-protein). Trp/Tyr anion-quadrupole interactions are common, with Trp showing the highest propensity and average interaction energy for this type of interaction. The energy of an anion-quadrupole interaction (-15.0 to 0.0 kcal/mol, based on quantum mechanical calculations) depends not only on the interaction geometry but also on the ring atom. The phosphate anions at DNA/RNA-protein interfaces interact with aromatic residues with energies comparable to that of aspartate/glutamate anion-quadrupole interactions. At DNA-protein interfaces, the frequency of aromatic ring participation in anion-quadrupole interactions is comparable to that of positive charge participation in salt bridges, suggesting an underappreciated role for anion-quadrupole interactions at DNA-protein (or membrane-protein) interfaces. Although less frequent than salt bridges in single-chain proteins, we observed highly conserved anion-quadrupole interactions in the structures of remote homologues, and evolutionary covariance-based residue contact score predictions suggest that conserved anion-quadrupole interacting pairs, like salt bridges, contribute to polypeptide folding, stability, and recognition.

Synergistic Interplay of Covalent and Non-Covalent Interactions in Reactive Polymer Nanoassembly Facilitates Intracellular Delivery of Antibodies.

Project description:The primary impediments in developing large antibodies as drugs against intracellular targets involve their low transfection efficiency and suitable reversible encapsulation strategies for intracellular delivery with retention of biological activity. To address this, we outline an electrostatics-enhanced covalent self-assembly strategy to generate polymer-protein/antibody nanoassemblies. Through structure-activity studies, we down-select the best performing self-immolative pentafluorophenyl containing activated carbonate polymer for bioconjugation. With the help of an electrostatics-aided covalent self-assembly approach, we demonstrate efficient encapsulation of medium to large proteins (HRP, 44 kDa and β-gal, 465 kDa) and antibodies (ca. 150 kDa). The designed polymeric nanoassemblies are shown to successfully traffic functional antibodies (anti-NPC and anti-pAkt) to cytosol to elicit their bioactivity towards binding intracellular protein epitopes and inducing apoptosis.

Crystal structures of Mycobacterium tuberculosis GlgE and complexes with non-covalent inhibitors.

Project description:GlgE is a bacterial maltosyltransferase that catalyzes the elongation of a cytosolic, branched α-glucan. In Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb), inactivation of GlgE (Mtb GlgE) results in the rapid death of the organism due to a toxic accumulation of the maltosyl donor, maltose-1-phosphate (M1P), suggesting that GlgE is an intriguing target for inhibitor design. In this study, the crystal structures of the Mtb GlgE in a binary complex with maltose and a ternary complex with maltose and a maltosyl-acceptor molecule, maltohexaose, were solved to 3.3 Å and 4.0 Å, respectively. The maltohexaose structure reveals a dominant site for α-glucan binding. To obtain more detailed interactions between first generation, non-covalent inhibitors and GlgE, a variant Streptomyces coelicolor GlgEI (Sco GlgEI-V279S) was made to better emulate the Mtb GlgE M1P binding site. The structure of Sco GlgEI-V279S complexed with α-maltose-C-phosphonate (MCP), a non-hydrolyzable substrate analogue, was solved to 1.9 Å resolution, and the structure of Sco GlgEI-V279S complexed with 2,5-dideoxy-3-O-α-D-glucopyranosyl-2,5-imino-D-mannitol (DDGIM), an oxocarbenium mimic, was solved to 2.5 Å resolution. These structures detail important interactions that contribute to the inhibitory activity of these compounds, and provide information on future designs that may be exploited to improve upon these first generation GlgE inhibitors.

Covalent modifications of hemoglobin by nitrite anion: formation kinetics and properties of nitrihemoglobin.

Project description:The green nitrihemoglobin (α(2)β(2) tetramer, NHb) was prepared by the aerobic reaction of excess nitrite with human hemoglobin A(0) under mildly acidic conditions. A rate equation was determined and found to depend on nitrite, hydrogen ion, and oxygen concentrations: -d[HbNO(2)]/dt = [k(1) + k(2)(K(a)[HNO(2)])[O(2)](1/2)][HbNO(2)], where k(1) = (2.4 ± 0.9) × 10(-4) s(-1), k(2) = (1 ± 0.2) × 10(5) M(-5/2) s(-1), and K(a) is the acid dissociation constant for nitrous acid (4.5 × 10(-4) M). Also, the chemical properties of NHb are compared to those of the normal hemoglobin (including the addition products of common oxidation states with exogenous ligands, the alkaline transitions of the ferric forms, and the oxygen binding characteristics of the ferrous forms) and were found to be nearly indistinguishable. Therefore, the replacement of a single vinyl hydrogen with a nitro group on the periphery of each macrocycle in hemoglobin does not significantly perturb the interaction between the hemes and the heme pockets. Because nonphotochemical reaction chemistry must necessarily be most dependent on electronic ground states, it follows that the clearly visible difference in color between hemoglobin A(0) and NHb must be associated primarily with the respective electronic excited states. The possibility of NHb formation in vivo and its likely consequences are considered.

Intermolecular Interactions in Crystal Structures of Imatinib-Containing Compounds.

Project description:Imatinib, one of the most used therapeutic agents to treat leukemia, is an inhibitor that specifically blocks the activity of tyrosine kinases. The molecule of imatinib is flexible and contains several functional groups able to take part in H-bonding and hydrophobic interactions. Analysis of molecular conformations for this drug was carried out using density functional theory calculations of rotation potentials along single bonds and by analyzing crystal structures of imatinib-containing compounds taken from the Cambridge Structural Database and the Protein Data Bank. Rotation along the N-C bond in the region of the amide group was found to be the reason for two relatively stable molecular conformations, an extended and a folded one. The role of various types of intermolecular interactions in stabilization of the particular molecular conformation was studied in terms of (i) the likelihood of H-bond formation, and (ii) their contribution to the Voronoi molecular surface. It is shown that experimentally observed hydrogen bonds are in accord with the likelihood of their formation. The number of H-bonds in ligand-receptor complexes surpasses that in imatinib salts due to the large number of donors and acceptors of H-bonding within the binding pocket of tyrosine kinases. Contribution of hydrophilic intermolecular interactions to the Voronoi molecular surface is similar for both conformations, while π...π stacking is more typical for the folded conformation of imatinib.

Crystal structures of three lead(II) acetate-bridged di-amino-benzene coordination polymers.

Project description:Poly[tris-(acetato-?(2) O,O')(?2-acetato-?(3) O,O':O)tetra-kis-(?3-acetato-?(4) O,O':O:O')bis-(benzene-1,2-di-amine-?N)tetra-lead(II)], [Pb4(CH3COO)8(C6H8N2)2] n , (I), poly[(acetato-?(2) O,O')(?3-acetato-?(4) O,O':O:O')(4-chloro-benzene-1,2-diamine-?N)lead(II)], [Pb(CH3COO)2(C6H7ClN2)] n , (II), and poly[(?(2) O,O')(?3-acetato-?(4) O,O':O:O')(3,4-di-amino-benzo-nitrile-?N)lead(II)], [Pb(CH3COO)2(C7H7N3)] n , (III), have polymeric structures in which monomeric units are joined by bridging acetate ligands. All of the Pb(II) ions exhibit hemidirected coordination. The repeating unit in (I) is composed of four Pb(II) ions having O6, O6N, O7 and O6N coordination spheres, respectively, where N represents a monodentate benzene-1,2-di-amine ligand and O acetate O atoms. Chains along [010] are joined by bridging acetate ligands to form planes parallel to (10-1). (II) and (III) are isotypic and have one Pb(II) ion in the asymmetric unit that has an O6N coordination sphere. Pb2O2 units result from a symmetry-imposed inversion center. Polymeric chains parallel to [100] exhibit hydrogen bonding between the amine and acetate ligands. In (III), additional hydrogen bonds between cyano groups and non-coordinating amines join the chains by forming R 2 (2)(14) rings.

Cell-cell interactions via non-covalent click chemistry.

Project description:Metabolic glycoengineering with unnatural sugars became a valuable tool for introducing recognition markers on the cell membranes via bioorthogonal chemistry. By using this strategy, we functionalized the surface of tumor and T cells using complementary artificial markers based on both β-cyclodextrins (β-CDs) and adamantyl trimers, respectively. Once tied on cell surfaces, the artificial markers induced cell-cell adhesion through non-covalent click chemistry. These unnatural interactions between A459 lung tumor cells and Jurkat T cells triggered the activation of natural killer (NK) cells thanks to the increased production of interleukin-2 (IL-2) in the vicinity of cancer cells, leading ultimately to their cytolysis. The ready-to-use surface markers designed in this study can be easily inserted on the membrane of a wide range of cells previously submitted to metabolic glycoengineering, thereby offering a simple way to investigate and manipulate intercellular interactions.
