Methods for producing protein derivatives using cryosoak techniques with triiodide solutions are described. The methods have been tested using six different proteins. SAD/SIRAS phasing was attempted for each protein using data measured with conventional Cu Kalpha X-ray equipment and synchrotron radiation. Refinement of all six derivative structures showed that iodine is able to bind as I(-) (as...

The regioselective ring opening of styrene oxide using elemental iodine and bromine in the presence of disulfides as new catalysts was studied. The conductivity titration and UV spectroscopy were used to study the interaction of iodine with these catalysts. The results indicate that disulfide 11 is efficient in polyiodide formation, and can catalyze this reaction in excellent yield and high reg...
