Crystal structure of bis(4-methoxyphenyl) malonate
The complete mol-ecule of the title compound, C17H16O6, is generated by crystallographic twofold symmetry, with the central methyl-ene C atom lying on the rotation axis. The carbonyl O atom is disordered over two adjacent positions in a 0.63 (3):0.37 (3) ratio and the dihedral angle between the benzene rings in the two halves of the mol-ecule is 79.31 (12)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are conne...
متن کاملCrystal structure of human uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase.
Uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase (URO-D) catalyzes the fifth step in the heme biosynthetic pathway, converting uroporphyrinogen to coproporphyrinogen by decarboxylating the four acetate side chains of the substrate. This activity is essential in all organisms, and subnormal activity of URO-D leads to the most common form of porphyria in humans, porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT). We have determined th...
متن کاملOctahedral Tetramer in the Crystal Structure of Leucophos,phite,
The octahedral tetramer involves an edge-sharing dimer which further links at the shared corners to two more octahedra, resulting a center: vertex ratio 1:5. A topologically identical cluster exists in amarantite, although the two structures difier in the ligand groupings and their relative amounts. In leucophosphite, the tetramer is joined to symmetry equivalent tetramers by bridging (Po')t. t...
متن کاملCrystal structure of Aquifex aeolicus σN bound to promoter DNA and the structure of σN-holoenzyme.
The bacterial σ factors confer promoter specificity to the RNA polymerase (RNAP). One alternative σ factor, σN, is unique in its structure and functional mechanism, forming transcriptionally inactive promoter complexes that require activation by specialized AAA+ ATPases. We report a 3.4-Å resolution X-ray crystal structure of a σN fragment in complex with its cognate promoter DNA, revealing the...
متن کاملCrystal Structure and Substrate Specificity of Drosophila 3,4-Dihydroxyphenylalanine Decarboxylase
BACKGROUND 3,4-Dihydroxyphenylalanine decarboxylase (DDC), also known as aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase, catalyzes the decarboxylation of a number of aromatic L-amino acids. Physiologically, DDC is responsible for the production of dopamine and serotonin through the decarboxylation of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine and 5-hydroxytryptophan, respectively. In insects, both dopamine and serotonin ...
