    Sodium-mediated Magnesiation of Thiophene and Tetrahydrothiophene: Structural Contrasts with Furan and Tetrahydrofuran Victoria L. Blair, Alan R. Kennedy, Robert E. Mulvey and Charles T. O’Hara* V. L. Blair, Dr. A. R. Kennedy, Prof. R. E. Mulvey, Dr. C. T. O’Hara WestCHEM, Department of Pure and Applied Chemistry University of Strathclyde Glasgow, G1 1XL (U.K.) Fax: (+44) 141 548 4822 E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] Sulfur-containing heterocycles are currently attracting a great deal of interest in several diverse fields. For instance, substituted tetrahydrothiophenes,[1] have received considerable attention due to their extremely wide-ranging chemical and biological applications.[2] These include their use as potent α-glucosidase inhibitors,[3] as an inhibitor of copper amine [4] [5] oxidases and as selective A3 agonists and antagonists. In addition, they have been utilized in chemical transformations, such as catalytic asymmetric epoxidation, catalytic intramolecular cyclopropanation, and asymmetric metal catalysis hydrogenation.[6] From a nanochemical perspective, the adsorption chemistries and physical properties of various thiophenes and tetrahydrothiophenes on gold surfaces have recently come to the fore.[7] Polythiophenes are also key compounds in modern materials research, currently utilised in for example the fabrication of semi-conducting, fluorescent, and electronic and optoelectronic materials.[8]In this work, metallation (exchange of a hydrogen atom with a metal atom) of the parent heterocycles, tetrahydrothiophene (THT) and thiophene is considered. Metallation is one of the most fundamental reactions in modern day synthesis and is a key tool in the preparation of functionalised aromatic and heterocyclic compounds.

  • Three-Dimensional Structure of the Biotin Carboxylase Subunit of Acetyl-Coa Carboxylaset91 Grover L
    Biochemistry 1994, 33, 10249-10256 10249 Three-Dimensional Structure of the Biotin Carboxylase Subunit of Acetyl-coA Carboxylaset91 Grover L. Waldrop,’ Ivan Rayment, and Hazel M. Holden’ Institute for Enzyme Research, Graduate School and Department of Biochemistry, University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wisconsin 53705 Received April 28, 1994; Revised Manuscript Received June 8, 1994” ABSTRACT: Acetyl-coA carboxylase is found in all animals, plants, and bacteria and catalyzes the first committed step in fatty acid synthesis. It is a multicomponent enzyme containing a biotin carboxylase activity, a biotin carboxyl carrier protein, and a carboxyltransferase functionality. Here we report the X-ray structure of the biotin carboxylase component from Escherichia coli determined to 2.4-A resolution. The structure was solved by a combination of multiple isomorphous replacement and electron density modification procedures. The overall fold of the molecule may be described in terms of three structural domains. The N-terminal region, formed by Met l-Ile 103, adopts a dinucleotide binding motif with five strands of parallel @-sheetflanked on either side by a-helices. The “B-domain” extends from the main body of the subunit where it folds into two a-helical regions and three strands of @-sheet. Following the excursion into the B-domain, the polypeptide chain folds back into the body of the protein where it forms an eight- stranded antiparallel @-sheet. In addition to this major secondary structural element, the C-terminal domain also contains a smaller three-stranded antiparallel 0-sheet and seven a-helices. The active site of the enzyme has been identified tentatively by a difference Fourier map calculated between X-ray data from the native crystals and from crystals soaked in a Ag+/biotin complex.
