Protonation and Alkylation Induced Multidentate C–H···Anion Binding to Perrhenate

Protonation and sugar binding to LacY.

The effect of bulk-phase pH on the apparent affinity (K(d)(app)) of purified wild-type lactose permease (LacY) for sugars was studied. K(d)(app) values were determined by ligand-induced changes in the fluorescence of either of two covalently bound fluorescent reporters positioned away from the sugar-binding site. K(d)(app) for three different galactopyranosides was determined over a pH range fr...

Binding multidentate ligands to Ni2+: kinetic identification of preferential binding sites.

The kinetics of the reactions between [Ni(MeOH)6](2+) (hereafter Ni(2+)) and a variety of neutral Schiff base multidentate ligands have been measured in methanol at 25.0 °C using stopped-flow spectrophotometry. The ligands contain a variety of different potential donor sites (phenolic OH, imine N, pyridyl N and NH groups), different structural components and substituents. The kinetic studies ex...

The low basicity of phosphabenzenes: first examples of protonation, alkylation, and silylation reactions.

Bis[glycinium(0.5+)] perrhenate

All the residues of the title compound, (C(2)H(5.5)NO(2))(2)[ReO(4)], are located in general crystallographic positions. The glycine mol-ecules have usual conformations [Rodrigues Matos Beja et al. (2006 ▶). Acta Cryst. C62, o71-o72] with the H atom of the carboxylate group half-occupied, thus bearing a formal half-positive charge per molecule. The perrhenate anion has nearly ideal tetra-hedral...

Manganese and Iron Binding to Human Transferrin

The characteristics of manganese and iron binding to human apotransferrin (apo-tf) have been investigated and compared in this study. Both metal ions were taken up by human apo-tf and formed complexes, with the maximum absorbances observed at 410 and 340 nm for manganese-transferrin (Mn-tf) and 465 nm for iron-transferrin (Fe-tf). Addition of manganese (1.5 µg/ml) to the reaction mixture contai...
