When structural and electronic analogy leads to reactivity: the unprecedented phosphodiesterase activity of vanadates.

چکیده
The interaction between an RNA model phosphodiester and oxovanadate complexes results in a purely hydrolytic cleavage of a phosphodiester bond under physiological pH and temperature: a comparison of the rate-pH profile with the species distribution diagram indicates that the negatively charged tetravanadate [V(4)O(12)](4-), which forms at toxic vanadium levels, is the hydrolytically active species.

In this investigation, the structural, electronic properties, 13C and 1H NMR parameters and firsthyperpolarizability of Z-Ligustilide were explored. As well, the solvent effect on structural parameters, frontier orbital energies, electronic transitions, and 13C and 1H NMR parameters was illustrated based on Polarizable Continuum Model (PCM).These consequences specify that the polarity of solven...
متن کاملNovel Bi-allelic PDE6C Variant Leads to Congenital Achromatopsia
Background: The clinical phenotyping of patients with achromatopsia harboring variants in phosphordiesterase 6C (PDE6C) has poorly been described in the literature. PDE6C encodes the catalytic subunit of the cone phosphodiesterase, which hydrolyzes the cyclic guanosine monophosphate that proceeds with the hyperpolarization of photoreceptor cell membranes, as the final step of the phototransduct...
