Substrate Transformations Promoted by Adjacent Group 8 and 9 MetalsSamant, Rahul G. 11 1900 (has links)
The use of transition metal catalysts - either homogeneous (discrete well-defined metal complexes) or heterogeneous (more poorly-defined metal surfaces) - play an important role in the transformations of small substrates into larger, value-added compounds. Although heterogeneous catalysts have the greater industrial applicability, there has been enormous interest in homogeneous transition metal systems for effecting selective transformations of small substrate molecules. The bulk of these homogeneous systems are mononuclear. Perhaps surprisingly, very little research has focuses on systems with adjacent metal centres. Binuclear systems possess adjacent metals that may interact and possibly lead to transformations not observed in monometallic systems. It is this opportunity for adjacent metal involvement in substrate activation that is the focus of this dissertation. the goal of this research is to gain an increased understanding of metal-metal cooperativity and adjacent metal involvement in substrate transformations; how can adjacent metal involvement lead to substrate activation not seen in monometallic counterparts, and what role does each metal play in these interactions, particularly when the two metals are different.
Throughout this dissertation examples of transformation unique to systems with at least two metals are presented and examined with a particular focus on the roles of the two metals and any associated binding modes in these transformations. In addition, by comparing the RhOs, RhRu and IrRu systems, the influence of metal substitution is also examined. For example, diazoalkane activation and C-c bond formation promoted by the Rh-based systems is investigated, the roles of the adjacent metals of the IrRu system in the conversion of methylene groups to oxygenates is examined, and the unusual geminal C-H bond activation of olefinic substrates is explored.
Overall, the work presented within this thesis adds to the growing understanding of adjacent metal cooperativety, leading us toward a more rational approach to the design of homogeneous homo- and heterobimetallic catalysts, heterogeneous catalyst and nanoparticle catalysts for selective substrate transformations.

Investigation of the post-polyketide synthase (PKS) modifications during spinosyn A biosynthesis in Saccharopolyspora spinosaKim, Hak Joong 13 November 2013 (has links)
Diverse biological activities of polyketide natural products are often associated with specific structural motifs, biosynthetically introduced after construction of the polyketide core. Therefore, investigation of such "post-polykektide synthase (PKS)" modifications is important, and the accumulated knowledge on these processes can be applied for combinatorial biosynthesis to generate new polyketide derivatives with enhanced biological activities. In addition to the practical value, a lot of unprecedented chemical mechanisms can be found in the enzymes involved therein, which will significantly advance our understanding of enzyme catalysis. The works described in this dissertation focus on elucidating a number of post-PKS modifications involved in the biosynthesis of an insecticidal polyketide, spinosyn A, in Saccharopolyspora spinosa. First, three methyltransferases, SpnH, SpnI, and SpnK, responsible for the modification of the rhamnose moiety, have been investigated to verify their functions and to study how they are coordinated to achieve the desired level of methylation of rhamnose. In vitro assays using purified enzymes not only established that SpnH, SpnI, and SpnK are the respective rhamnose 4ʹ-, 2ʹ-, and 3ʹ-O-methyltransferase, but also validated their roles in the permethylation process of spinosyn A. Investigation of the order of the methylation events revealed that only one route catalyzed by SpnI, SpnK, and SpnH in sequence is productive for the permethylation of the rhamnose moiety, which is likely achieved by the proper control of the expression levels of the methyltransferase genes involved in vivo. The key structural feature of spinosyn A is the presence of the unique tetracyclic architecture likely derived from the monocyclic PKS product. To elucidate this "cross-bridging" process, which had been hypothesized to involve four enzymes, SpnF, SpnJ, SpnL, and SpnM, the presumed polyketide substrate was chemically synthesized using Julia-Kocienski olefination, Stille cross-coupling, and Yamaguchi macrolactonization as key reactions. Incubation of the synthesized substrate with SpnJ produced a new product where the 15-OH group of the substrate is oxidized to the ketone. Next, it was demonstrated that incubation of this ketone intermediate with SpnM produces a tricyclic compound, via a transient monocyclic intermediate with high degree of unsaturation. Whereas it was initially thought that SpnM catalyzes both dehydration and [4+2] cycloaddition in sequence, detailed kinetic analysis revealed that SpnM is only responsible for the dehydration step, and the [4+2] cycloaddition step is indeed catalyzed by SpnF. Finally, successful conversion of the tricyclic intermediate to the tetracyclic core was demonstrated using SpnL. Proposed chemical mechanisms of SpnF and SpnL, Diels-Alder and Rauhut-Currier reactions, respectively, are interesting because enzymes capable of catalyzing these reactions have yet to be characterized in vitro. This work not only establishes the biosynthetic pathway for constructing the spinosyn tetracyclic core, but also epitomizes the significance of the post-PKS modification as a rich source of new enzyme catalysis. / text

Studies of multicomponent assembliesLong, Samuel Reid 03 March 2014 (has links)
This dissertation is divided into three major sections (one on dendrimers, one on tripodal metal ligands and one on a research oriented chemistry curricula) with a primary focus on different types of multicomponent assemblies. In the first chapter, a system is described that used a multicomponent assembly of AT-PAMAM dendrimers and an indicator, carboxyfluorescein, to detect and identify various polyanions at a low micromolar concentration. The system was able to successfully differentiate twelve anions, many of biological interest, including three tricarboxylates. The tricarboxylates were differentiated based primarily on the regiochemistry of the anionic groups.
In the second chapter, further studies with AT-PAMAM dendrimers were carried out to provide some understanding of the thermodynamic origins of binding. Utilizing isothermal titration calorimetry, the binding of the dendrimers to large polyanionic dendrons with increasing numbers of charges was studied. Through these studies, the thermodynamic values of the binding events were obtained allowing us to explore the properties of the dendrimers. The cooperativity of the system was measured, and primarily negative cooperativity determined by the entropic contributions was uncovered. As the dendrimers increased in size, the thermodynamic origins of binding were determined to a greater extent by the entropy of binding.
In the third chapter, a novel dynamic ligand system for metal binding is described. In the presence of a metal salt, a heterocyclic aldehyde and a secondary amine with two heterocyclic arms reversibly condense to form a hemiaminal with a tripodal metal binding site. This chapter describes studies on the metal binding ability, the variety of metals that will lead to this formation, the effects of anions and the range of aldehydes that can be used are described. Furthermore, the system’s reversibility was explored. Finally, the use of a bistriazole secondary amine was explored. The modular nature of triazole formation could lead to the introduction of additional functionalities.
The fourth chapter discusses how the novel ligand system could be used to study the enantiomeric excess (ee) of chiral thiols. Based upon the system’s ability to form a stable hemiaminal thioether, a CD signal could be generated that is proportional to the amount of a particular enantiomer in solution. Using this system, a calibration curve relating CD signal and ee can be generated giving the ee of an unknown solution.
In the final chapter, a look at the Freshman Research Initiative will be carried out with a focus on the ability to teach basic skills in an introductory laboratory through research. Four different skills or techniques will be explored through three different FRI streams,x and how they teach the four skills. Finally, analysis of the success of the program, particularly students’ success in the next laboratory course in the sequence, is discussed, and a model for adopting this type of teaching at other universities is given. / text

Previous issue date: 2016-02-26 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) / O presente trabalho teve como principal objetivo estudar a atividade catalítica de soroalbumina bovina (BSA) em reações formadoras de uma nova ligação C-C: Reações aldólica, de Henry e Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH). Em todos os casos a BSA atuou como catalisador, visto que quando as reações foram realizadas sem sua presença, não houve formação dos produtos desejados. Os rendimentos obtidos para as reações aldólica (37%), Henry (80%) e MBH (73%), variaram de bons a moderados e não foi observada enantiosseletividade para nenhuma das reações estudadas. As soroalbuminas são proteínas que formam muita emulsão dificultando os processos downstream na separação dos produtos e materiais de partida. Visando minimizar este inconveniente, a BSA foi submetida à imobilização em MCLEA (magnetic cross-linking enzyme aggregates) utilizando nanopartículas magnéticas de óxido de ferro. Nestes casos, o biocatalisador pôde ser facilmente retirado do meio reacional com aplicação de um campo magnético externo. Esta metodologia afetou diretamente no rendimento da reação de Henry, passando de 80% para 89%. Porém, para as outras reações a melhoria no rendimento não foi tão expressiva. A imobilização também não foi eficaz para o aumento dos excessos enantioméricos. Até o momento para a reação de MBH com os substratos utilizados, não há relatos na literatura para a síntese do aduto desejado catalisado pela BSA. Sendo assim, optamos por realizar um planejamento fatorial completo dessa reação visando otimizar as condições reacionais bem como os rendimentos. As variáveis estudadas foram: temperatura, concentração do biocatalisador e condição do biocatalisador (livre ou imobilizado). Os resultados obtidos mostraram que a variável com maior influência na reação, é a concentração do biocatalisador. A conversão obtida passou de 30% para 40% utilizando 2,2 μmol de BSA. Em seguida, realizamos um estudo de ascendência da concentração do catalisador visando otimizar este parâmetro. A conversão obtida passou para 73% quando foram utilizadas 3,7 μmol de biocatalisador imobilizado. Realizamos um estudo de reciclagem do biocatalisador imobilizado. Foi possível reutiliza-lo porém com diminuição da conversão a partir do segundo ciclo. Os resultados obtidos nesta dissertação evidenciam o potencial biocatalítico da BSA em reações para a formação de ligação C-C. / This work aimed to study the catalytic activity of bovine serum albumin (BSA) in reactions that form a new C-C bond: aldol reactions, Henry and Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH). In all cases BSA served as the catalyst, whereas when the reactions were carried out without their presence there was no formation of the desired products. The yields obtained for aldol reactions (37%), Henry (80%) and MBH (73%), ranged from good to moderate enantioselectivity and was not observed for any of the studied reactions. The serum albumins are proteins that form the much emulsion difficulting downstream processes in separation of the products and starting materials. To minimize this inconvenience, the BSA was subjected to immobilization in M-CLEA (magnetic cross-linking enzyme aggregates) using magnetic nanoparticles of iron oxide. In these cases the biocatalyst could be easily removed from the reaction medium by applying an external magnetic field. This methodology directly affect the yield of the Henry reaction, from 80% to 89%. However, for other reactions the improvement of yields was less pronounced. The immobilization was also not effective for improving the enantiomeric excess. So far for the MBH reaction with the worked substrates, there are no reports in the literature for the synthesis of the desired adduct catalyzed by BSA. So we decided to study a full factorial design of this reaction to optimize the reaction conditions and yields. The variables studied were: temperature, the biocatalyst concentration and biocatalyst conditions (free and immobilized). The concentration of biocatalyst was the major factor with interference in all reactions. The conversion increased from 30% to 40% using 2.2 μmol of BSA. Then we perform a study of catalyst concentration to optimize this parameter. The conversion increased to 73% when they were used 3.7 μmol immobilized biocatalyst. To evaluate the retention of catalytic activity of BSA immobilized, it was performed a study of the immobilized biocatalyst recycling. It was possible the reuse but with reduced conversion from the second cycle. The results obtained in this work demonstrated the potential of BSA in C-C bond formation reactions.

Mechanisms and applications of disulfide bond formationNguyen, V. D. (Van Dat) 27 January 2015 (has links)
Abstract
About one-third of mammalian proteins are secreted proteins and membrane proteins. Most of these proteins contain disulfide bonds in their native state, covalent links formed between the thiol groups of cysteine residues. In many proteins, disulfide bonds play an essential role in folding, stabilizing structure and the function of the protein. Therefore, understanding the pathways of disulfide bond formation is crucial for a wide range of medical processes and therapies. Disulfide bond formation is catalyzed by the Protein Disulfide Isomerase (PDI) family. To date the mechanisms of the PDIs in disulfide bond formation and pathways for disulfide bond formation have not been fully characterized.
Here the structure of the substrate binding <b>b’x</b> domain of human PDI was determined. The structure shows that the<b> b'</b> domain has a typical thioredoxin fold and that the <b>x</b> region can interact with the substrate binding site of the <b>b'</b> domain. Specifically, the <b>x</b> region of PDI can adopt alternative conformations during the functional cycle of PDI action and that these are linked to the ability of PDI to interact with folding substrates.
In addition, this study showed that two human proteins, GPx7 and GPx8 are involved in disulfide bond formation. The addition of GPx7 or GPx8 to a folding protein along with PDI and peroxide allows the efficient oxidative refolding of a reduced denatured substrate protein.
Finally, this thesis includes the development of a system for the efficient production of disulfide bond containing proteins in the cytoplasm of E. coli. It showed that the introduction of Erv1p, a sulfhydryl oxidase and FAD-dependent catalyst of disulfide bond, allows the formation of native disulfide bonds in the cytoplasm of E. coli even without the disruption of genes involved in disulfide bond reduction. Introduction of Erv1p and a disulfide isomerase, e.g. PDI, allows the efficient formation of natively folded eukaryotic proteins with multiple disulfide bonds in the cytoplasm of E. coli. This system is able to express high levels of complex disulfide bonded eukaryotic proteins. / Tiivistelmä
Noin kolmasosa kaikista nisäkkäiden proteiineista on solun ulkopuolelle eritettäviä proteiineja ja kalvoproteiineja. Monet näistä proteiineista sisältävät natiivissa konformaatiossaan disulfidisidoksia, jotka ovat kovalenttisia sidoksia kysteiinitähteiden tioliryhmien välillä. Useissa proteiineissa näillä disulfidisidoksilla on keskeinen rooli proteiinin laskostumisessa, kolmiulotteisen rakenteen stabiloinnissa sekä proteiinin toiminnassa. Disulfidisidosten muodostumisen taustalla olevien mekanismien tunteminen onkin tärkeää monien lääketieteellisten prosessien ja hoitomenetelmien kannalta. Disulfidisidosten muodostumista katalysoivat proteiinidisulfidi-isomeraasi (PDI) -perheeseen kuuluvat entsyymit. PDI entsyymien toimintamekanismeja ja disulfidisidosten muodostumisen reaktioreittejä ei kuitenkaan vielä tunneta tarkasti.
Tässä väitöskirjassa selvitettiin ihmisen PDI entsyymin substraattia sitovan <b>b’x</b> alayksikön rakenne. Rakenteesta voidaan todeta <b>b’</b> alayksikön laskostuminen tyypilliseen tioredoksiini muotoon sekä <b>x</b> alueen interaktio <b>b’</b> alayksikön substraattia sitovan kohdan kanssa. PDI entsyymin katalysoiman reaktioketjun aikana <b>x</b> alayksikkö voi muuttaa konformaatiotaan mahdollistaen PDI entsyymin interaktion laskostuvien substraattiproteiinien kanssa.
Tässä tutkimuksessa osoitettiin myös kahden ihmisen proteiinin, GPx7 ja GPx8 osallistuminen disulfidisidosten muodostumista katalysoiviin reaktioihin. GPx7 ja GPx8 entsyymien lisäys laskostumisreaktioon yhdessä PDI:n ja vetyperoksidin kanssa mahdollistaa pelkistetyn, denaturoidun substraattiproteiinin tehokkaan, hapettaviin reaktioihin perustuvan uudelleenlaskostumisen natiiviin muotoonsa.
Osana tätä väitöstutkimusta kehitettiin menetelmä, joka mahdollistaa disulfideja sisältävien proteiinien tehokkaan tuoton E.colin solulimassa. Menetelmässä sulfhydryylioksidaasina ja FAD:sta riippuvana disulfidisidosten muodostumisen katalysaattorina toimiva Erv1p mahdollistaa disulfidisidosten muodostumisen E.colin solulimassa myös ilman solun pelkistävien reaktioreittien geneettistä poistamista. Erv1p yhdessä disulfidi-isomeraasin, kuten PDI, kanssa mahdollistaa oikein laskostuneiden, useita disulfidisidoksia sisältävien eukaryoottisten proteiinien tehokkaan tuotannon E.colin solulimassa. Menetelmällä pystytään tuottamaan suuria määriä monimutkaisia disulfidisidoksellisia proteiineja.

Structural and functional studies of mitochondrial small Tim proteinsGuo, Liang January 2013 (has links)
Most mitochondrial proteins are encoded by nuclear DNA, and synthesised in the cytosol, then imported into the different mitochondrial subcompartments. To reach their destination, mitochondrial inner membrane proteins require import across the outer mitochondrial membrane, and through the intermembrane space. This passage through the IMS is assisted by the small Tim proteins. This family is characterised by conserved cysteine residues arranged in a twin CX3C motif. They can form Tim9-Tim10 and Tim8-Tim13 complexes, while Tim12 appears to form part of a Tim9-Tim10-Tim12 complex that is associated with the inner membrane translocase TIM22 complex. Current models suggest that the biogenesis of small Tim proteins and their assembly into complexes is dependent on the redox states of the proteins. However, the role of the conserved cysteine residues, and the disulphide bonds formed by them, in small Tim biogenesis and complex formation is not clear. As there is no research about the structural characterisation of Tim12 and double cysteine mutants of Tim9, purification of these proteins was attempted using different methods. To investigate how cysteine mutants affect complex formation, the purified double cysteine mutants of Tim9 were studied using in vitro methods. It showed that the double cysteine mutants were partially folded, and they can form complexes with Tim10 with low affinities, suggesting disulphide bonds are important for the structures and complex formation of small Tim proteins. The effect of cysteine mutants on mitochondrial function was addressed using in vivo methods. It showed that cysteines of small Tim proteins were not equally essential for cell viability, and growth defect of the lethal cysteine mutant was caused by low level of protein. Thus, the conclusion of this study is that disulphide bond formation is highly important for correct Tim9- Tim10 complex formation, and yeast can survive with low levels of complex, but it results in instability of the individual proteins.

Production of New Carbon-Heteroatom Bonds Induced by Visible LightHerrera Luna, Jorge Carlos 05 January 2023 (has links)
[ES] En la presente tesis doctoral se describen metodologías novedosas, simples y rápidas con luz visible para producir compuestos con nuevos enlaces C-heteroátomo como C-B, C-P y C-S que representan estructuras valiosas en la síntesis orgánica moderna. La luz visible se emplea como fuente de energía más suave y sostenible que la tradicional (energía térmica). Por otro lado, también se han empleado nanorreactores espaciales como las redes de gel viscoelástico mediante enfoques 'ascendentes' para mejorar diferentes procesos en comparación con la disolución, en términos de cinética, selectividad o procesabilidad.
Por lo tanto, el Capítulo 3 describe un procedimiento novedoso, directo y rápido para producir tiofenos que contienen boro empleando luz visible en disolución anaeróbica sin el uso de ningún fotocatalizador externo. Este estudio se ha ampliado a la borilación de haluros de heteroareno comerciales en condiciones aeróbicas en un nanorreactor de gel fácil de usar (Capítulo 4). La red de gel proporciona un microambiente estabilizador adecuado para soportar una amplia gama de sustratos, incluidos los ésteres de boronato de furano, tiofeno, selenofeno y de pirrol.
El Capítulo 5 se centra en una nueva estrategia para lograr una fosforilación aeróbica eficiente de heteroarenos de cinco miembros mediante catálisis fotorredox dicromática en un nanorreactor basado en gel. La metodología, que opera mediante un mecanismo de transferencia de electrones fotoinducida consecutiva (ConPET), se ha aplicado con éxito a la síntesis sencilla y limpia de varios fosfonatos de heteroareno diferentes (furano, tiofeno, selenofeno, pirrol, oxazol o tioxazol), extendiéndose a la etapa tardía de la fosforilación del anticoagulante rivaroxabán. Por último, el Capítulo 6 muestra una tiolación (formación enlaces C-S) simple y efectiva, libre de metales, de haluros de heteroareno comerciales usando luz visible. Los resultados experimentales son consistentes con una reacción basada en un complejo aceptor-donador de electrones (EDA) entre una alquilamina y el haluro de heteroareno. El mecanismo del proceso se ha demostrado mediante estudios espectroscópicos, mientras que la robustez se ha demostrado mediante experimentos a escala de gramo y derivatización de última etapa. / [CA] En la present tesi doctoral es descriuen metodologies noves, simples i ràpides amb llum visible per a produir compostos amb nous enllaços C-heteroàtom com C-B, C-P i C-S que representen estructures valuoses en la síntesi orgànica moderna. La llum visible s'utilitza com a font d'energia mes suau i sostenible que la tradicional (energia tèrmica). D'altra banda, també s'han emprat nanorreactors espacials com les xarxes de gel viscoelàstic mitjançant enfocaments 'ascendents' per a millorar diferents processos en comparació amb la dissolució, en termes de cinètica, selectivitat o procesabilitat. Per tant, el Capítol 3 descriu un procediment nou, directe i ràpid per a produir tiofens que contenen bor emprant llum visible en dissolució anaeròbica sense l'ús de cap fotocatalitzador extern. Aquest estudi s'ha ampliat a la borilació d'halurs d'heteroaré comercials en condicions aeròbiques en un nanorreactor de gel fàcil d'usar (Capítol 4). La xarxa de gel proporciona un microambient estabilitzador adequat per a suportar una àmplia gamma de substrats, inclosos els èsters de boronat de furan, tiofé, selenofé i de pirrol. El Capítol 5 se centra en una nova estratègia per a aconseguir una fosforilació aeròbica eficient de heteroarens de cinc membres mitjançant catàlisis fotorredox dicromàtica en un nanorreactor basat en gel. La metodologia, que opera mitjançant un mecanisme de transferència d'electrons fotoinducida consecutiva (ConPET), s'ha aplicat amb èxit a la síntesi senzilla i neta de diversos fosfonats d'heteroaré diferents (furan, tiofé, selenofé, pirrol, oxazol o tioxazol), estenent-se a l'etapa tardana de la fosforilació de l'anticoagulant rivaroxabán. Finalment, el Capítol 6 mostra una tiolació (formació d'enllaços C-S) simple i efectiva, lliure de metalls, d'halurs d'heteroaré comercials usant llum visible. Els resultats experimentals són consistents amb una reacció basada en un complex acceptor-donador d'electrons (EDA) entre una alquilamina i l'halur d'heteroaré. El mecanisme del procés s'ha demostrat mitjançant estudis espectroscòpics, mentre que la robustesa s'ha demostrat mitjançant experiments a escala de gram i derivatització d'última etapa. / [EN] This thesis doctoral describes novel, simple, and rapid methodologies using visible light to produce compounds with new C-heteroatom bonds such as C-B, C-P and C-S that represent valuable scaffolds in modern organic synthesis. The employment of visible light as energy source highlights the concepts of green and sustainable chemistry considering its mild, safe, and eco-friendly advantages. On the other hand, spatially nanoreactors such as viscoelastic gel networks by 'bottom-up' approaches to improve different processes in comparison to solution, in terms of kinetics, selectivity or processability have been also developed.
Thus, Chapter 3 describes a novel, straightforward, and fast procedure to produce boron-containing thiophenes employing visible light in anaerobic solution. Interestingly, the process does not require the use of any external photocatalyst. This study has been extended to the borylation of commercially available heteroarene halides under aerobic conditions in an easy-to-use gel nanoreactor (Chapter 4). The gel network provides an adequate stabilizing microenvironment to support wide substrate scope, including furan, thiophene, selenophene, and pyrrole boronate esters.
Chapter 5 focus on a new strategy to achieve efficient aerobic phosphorylation of five-membered heteraroenes using dichromatic photoredox catalysis in a gel-based nanoreactor. The methodology, which operates by a consecutive photoinduced electron transfer (ConPET) mechanism, has been successfully applied to the straightforward and clean synthesis of a number of different heteroarene (furan, thiophene, selenophene, pyrrole, oxazole, or thioxazole) phosphonates, extending to the late-stage phosphonylation of the anticoagulant rivaroxaban.
Lastly, regarding the construction of new C-S bonds, Chapter 6 shows a simple and effective metal-free thiolation of commercial heteroarene halides using visible light. The experimental results are consistent with the reaction taking place from an electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complex between an alkylamine and the heteroarene halide. Mechanistic aspects of the whole process have been demonstrated by spectroscopic measurements whereas the strength of this novel method has been proven by gram-scale experiment and late-stage derivatization. / Herrera Luna, JC.
