(c) Transition state for E,C elimination. tion state similar to that shown in Figure 7.5~is expected, since base attacks the molecule backside to the leaving group but frontside to the /3 hydrogen. Let us now turn to the experimental results to see if these predictions are borne out in fact. It has long been known that E2H reactions normally give preferentially anti elimination. For example, reaction of meso-stilbene dibromide with potassium ethoxide gives cis-bromostilbene (Reaction 7.39), whereas reaction of the D,L-dibromide gives the trans product (Reaction 7.40).lo2 A multitude of other examples exist-see, for example, note 64 (p. 355) and note 82 (p. 362). E2H reactions do, however, give syn elimination when: (1) an H-X di- hedral angle of 0" is achievable but one of 180" is not or, put another way, H and X can become syn-periplanar but not trans-periplanar ; (2) a syn hydrogen is much more reactive than the anti ones; (3) syn elimination is favored for steric reasons; and (4) an anionic base that remains coordinated with its cation, that, in turn, is coordinated with the leaving group, is used as catalyst. The very great importance of category 4 has only begun to be fully realized in the early 1970s. lo2 P. Pfeiffer, 2. Physik. Chem.

Stephen McNeil, I. K. Barber School of Arts & Sciences Supervisory Committee Member Kirsten Wolthers, I. K. Barber School of Arts & Sciences Supervisory Committee Member Michael Deyholos, I. K. Barber School of Arts & Sciences University Examiner ii Abstract The ability of radical enzymes to maintain tight control over the high reactive radical intermediates generated in their active sites is not completely understood. In this thesis, we report on a strategy that radical (B12-dependent) enzymes appear to exploit in order to manipulate and control the reactivity of one of their radical intermediate (5'-deoxyadenosyl radical) contained in the active site. The results of quantum mechanical calculations suggest that these enzymes utilize the little known quantum Coulombic effect (QCE), which causes the radical to acquire an electronic structure that contradicts the Aufbau Principle. This effect causes the energy of the singly-occupied molecular orbital (SOMO) of the radical to be well below that of the highest-occupied molecular orbital (HOMO), which renders the radical less reactive. -

[email protected], 19 For Peer Review 20 21 [email protected] 22 23 24 ABSTRACT: 25 26 27 28 Enzymes that proceed through radical intermediates have a rich chemistry that includes 29 30 functionalisation of otherwise unreactive carbon atoms, carbon-skeleton rearrangements, 31 32 aromatic reductions, and unusual eliminations. Especially under anaerobic conditions, 33 34 organisms have developed a wide range of approaches for managing these transformations 35 36 that can be exploited to generate new biological routes towards both bulk and specialty 37 38 39 chemicals. These routes are often either much more direct or allow access to molecules that 40 41 are inaccessible through standard (bio)chemical approaches. This review gives an overview 42 43 of some of the key enzymes in this area: benzoyl-CoA reductases (that effect the enzymatic 44 45 Birch reduction), ketyl radical dehydratases, coenzyme B12-dependant enzymes, glycyl 46 47 radical enzymes, and radical SAM (AdoMet radical) enzymes. -
Functional Characterization of Seven Γ-Glutamylpolyamine Synthetase
JOURNAL OF BACTERIOLOGY, Aug. 2011, p. 3923–3930 Vol. 193, No. 15 0021-9193/11/$12.00 doi:10.1128/JB.05105-11 Copyright © 2011, American Society for Microbiology. All Rights Reserved. Functional Characterization of Seven ␥-Glutamylpolyamine Synthetase Genes and the bauRABCD Locus for Polyamine and -Alanine Utilization in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1ᰔ Xiangyu Yao,1† Weiqing He,1,2† and Chung-Dar Lu1,3* Department of Biology, Georgia State University, Atlanta, Georgia 303031; Institute of Medicinal Biotechnology, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, Beijing 100050, China2; and Department of Medical Laboratory Sciences and Biotechnology, China Medical University, Taichung, Taiwan 404023 Received 16 April 2011/Accepted 13 May 2011 Pseudomonas aeruginosa and many other bacteria can utilize biogenic polyamines, including diaminopropane (DAP), putrescine (Put), cadaverine (Cad), and spermidine (Spd), as carbon and/or nitrogen sources. Tran- scriptome analysis in response to exogenous Put and Spd led to the identification of a list of genes encoding putative enzymes for the catabolism of polyamines. Among them, pauA1 to pauA6, pauB1 to pauB4, pauC, and pauD1 and pauD2 (polyamine utilization) encode enzymes homologous to Escherichia coli PuuABCD of the ␥-glutamylation pathway in converting Put into GABA. A series of unmarked pauA mutants was constructed for growth phenotype analysis. The results revealed that it requires specific combinations of pauA knockouts to abolish utilization of different polyamines and support the importance of ␥-glutamylation for polyamine catabolism in P. aeruginosa. Another finding was that the list of Spd-inducible genes overlaps almost completely with that of Put-inducible ones except the pauA3B2 operon and the bauABCD operon (-alanine utilization). -

Printed on acid-free paper Springer is part of Springer Science+Business Media (www.springer.com) Foreword This book originates from almost 60 years of living in the company of micro- organisms, mainly with Escherichia coli. My scientific life has taken place almost exclusively at the Institut Pasteur in Paris, where many concepts of modern molecular biology were born or developed. The present work emphasizes the interest of microbial physiology, biochemistry and genetics. It takes into account the considerable advances which have been made in the field in the last 30 years by the introduction of gene cloning and sequencing and by the exponential development of physical methods such as X-ray crystallog- raphy of proteins. The younger generation of biochemists is legitimately interested in the problems raised by differentiation and development in higher organisms, and also in neuros- ciences. -

Oxidized Sulfur Functionalized Polymers Via Admet Polymerization
OXIDIZED SULFUR FUNCTIONALIZED POLYMERS VIA ADMET POLYMERIZATION By TAYLOR WILLIAM GAINES A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2015 © 2015 Taylor William Gaines To Mom and Steve ACKNOWLEDGMENTS There are so many who have been contributors to my success and I would like thank all of them. This doctorate involved not only the four years in graduate school, but everything in life up until the degree’s competition. I have always tried to remember life’s little lessons. I cannot mention everyone who deserves thanks; otherwise, this section would comprise the entire document. But I believe those mentioned below have had the most profound effect on my life and especially my education. I must start by first thanking my grandparents, Iris and Tony Pritchard, who were essential to my early upbringing in western North Carolina. These two were hardworking, small town, blue-collar, and family oriented. My grandfather was in the automotive repair industry, and my grandmother worked 47 years for the same furniture company. They grew up in the depression, knew the value of hard work, family, and how to make a little money go a long way. I can honestly say they never met a stranger, and they were kind to everyone. I am most appreciative of the values these two instilled in me, including dedication, the importance of family, and the value of hard work. They loved us unconditionally and spoiled my brother and me, probably too much at times.
