Mono-N-arylation of benzamidines 1 with aryl boronic acids 2 was effectively achieved in the presence of a catalytic amount of Cu(OAc)2 and NaOPiv under mild aerobic conditions. Combining this step with an intramolecular direct CH bond functionalization, c ...
The serine hydrolase, fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH), is responsible for the intracellular degradation of anandamide and other bioactive fatty acid ethanolamides involved in the regulation of pain, inflammation, and other pathophysiological processes. T ...
In the presence of a catalytic amount of chiral BINOL-derived phosphoric acid (TRIP), reaction of an α-isocyanoacetate 1, an aldehyde 2, an aniline 3 followed by addition of a toluene solution of α,β-unsaturated acyl chloride 5 afforded oxa-bridged tricycl ...
The MQN-mapplet is a Java application giving access to the structure of small molecules in large databases via color-coded maps of their chemical space. These maps are projections from a 42-dimensional property space defined by 42 integer value descriptors ...
The limited fossil fuel resources and the increasing levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are the driving forces in the research of alternative ways of energy production and storage. The use of solar energy is expected to grow as our society claims ...
Control of the N-glycosylase reaction by the DNA repair enzyme, MutY, entails the organization of solvent molecules. Classical molecular dynamics and QM/MM simulations were used to investigate the solvent and environment effects contributing to catalysis. ...
Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a major mediator in innate immunity and inflammation and a potential therapeutic target in multiple inflammatory, infectious and autoimmune diseases including cancer. Current therapeutic strategies for target ...
Metallo-beta-lactamases (M beta Ls) are Zn(II)-based bacterial enzymes that hydrolyze beta-lactam antibiotics, hampering their beneficial effects. In the most relevant subclass (B1), X-ray crystallography studies on the enzyme from point to either two zinc ...
A Quantum Mechanics/Molecular Mechanics (QM/MM) computational investigation of the catalytic mechanism of the human glutathione transferase A3-3 (hGSTA3-3) has been carried out. The results demonstrate that the isomerization reaction is concerted, but high ...
The imidazolium functionalized bipyridine compounds, {4,4'-bis-[7-(2,3-dimethylimidazolium)heptyl]-2,2'-bipyridine}(2+) (BIHB) and {4,4'-bis[(1,2-dimethylimidazolium)methyl]-2,2'-bipyridine}(2+) (BIMB), were prepared and used as Rh nanoparticle ...
