Vivian A . Salazar , Marc Torrent

Molecular docking modelling was performed as previously described (Torrent et al., 2011). Briefl y, the docking simulations were performed using Autodock 4.2 (The Scripps Research Institute, La Jolla, CA, USA). The protein coordinates of the eight human RNases were taken from X-ray crystallography or NMR data. When no three-dimensional structure was available, the protein structures were predic...

1908 Scheme I + - CHOC

A synthetic strategy for the preparation of the quinone antibiotic naphthyridinomycin is outlined. An efficient synthesis of key tricyclic intermediate 6 is described. Naphthyridinomycin (I) is an architecturally interesting broad spectrum antibiotic produced by Streptomyces lusitanus. 9 1 2 The structure elucidation of 1 in I974ia,b revealed its unique hexacyclic structure which shared a quino...
