Lysine is a ubiquitous residue on protein surfaces. Post translational modifications of lysine, including methylation to the mono-, di- or trimethylated amine result in chemical and structural alterations that have major consequences for protein interactions and signalling pathways. Small molecules that bind to methylated lysines are potential tools to modify such pathways. To make progress in ...

quantum chemical calculations, based on density functional theory (dft) method, were performed on calix[4]arene and polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (pcdds) in gas and liquid phases for comparison purposes. the simulation results show the 1,2,3,4, 6,7,8,9-octachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (ocdd) is quite a reactive dioxin. this paper attempts to examine the possibility of dioxin adsorption by calix[n...

Spectropholornetrie technique is used to evaluate binding of the vanadium(1U) ion to a water solublecaruc[4] arene molecule in aqueous solution. On the basis of the calculated value formation constant at25rC.we found that the eomplexation of this metal on is very favored towards 25, 26, 27, 2Stetrahydroxy-5, 11, 17, 23-tetnmulphonalic acid-calix[0]areneGaussian 03 package.

The acid dissociation constants of the hydroxyl groups in 25, 26, 27, 28-tetrahydroxy-5, 11, 17, 23-tetrasulphonic-calix[4]arene (SC4) were determined at 25οC by a combination of potentiometric and spectrophotometric titration method. The first and second acid dissociation constants (pKa1, pKa2) were found to be 3.19 and 12.1, which demonstrated pKa shift due to intramolecular hydrogen bonding ...

Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have been surface-functionalized with choline moieties encircled by sulfonatocalix[4]arenes. Two enzyme cleavable sites are incorporated in the stalks for specific enzymes to regulate the release of loaded cargos from MSNs. These gated materials show a clear enzymatic response and proven orthogonality.

the conformational behavior of monosubstituted tri-methylsilyle ethynyl derivative of cal ix[4]arene as a newgeneration of caliarene was compared with tetra alkylated calyx[4]arene. the most important conformationalphenomena in these compounds which are pinched cone interconversion process were done by semi-empiricalmethod and ab initio calculations with gaussian 98w programming.

The aim of research the synthesis 5,11,17,23-tetra(t-butyl)-25-monohydroxy-26,27,28-tribenzoyloxycalix[4]arene (TBMTCA) material were by one-step synthesized benzoylation reaction 5,11,17,23-tetra(t-butyl)-25,26,27,28-tetrahydroxycalix[4]arene (TBCA) and benzoyl chloride is (1: 3,7) mol refluxing 3 hours at room temperature predicted mechanism models. product was carried out means FTIR 1H-NMR s...

Cationic calix[6]arene and calix[4]arene derivatives non-covalently bind into a DNA minor groove or RNA major form tweezer-like complexes with nucleotides.

A photoresponsive ion carrier based on calix[4]arene was synthesized for the control of Na+ flux across lipid bilayer membranes by visible light. Calix[4]arene was chosen as a basic skeleton of a photoresponsive ion carrier because its ether derivatives are known to act as Na+ ion carriers in lipid bilayer membranes. For the synthesis of a photoresponsive carrier, dimethylaminoazobenzene was in...
