In this research, the interaction of [CuL(DMF)], [NiL(DMF)] and [VOL(DMF)] (where L = ((E)-4-((2-amino-5-nitrophenylimino)methyl)benzene-1,3-diol)) complexes derived from tridentate Schiff base ligand with bovine serum albumin (BSA) and DNA was investigated via electronic absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. The Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis) spectra exhibited an isosbestic point for the com...

In the title compound, [RuCl(2)(C(4)H(4)N(2))(4)]·2CH(2)Cl(2), the Ru(II) atom occupies a position of 222 symmetry and the C atom of the solvent mol-ecule occupies a site with twofold symmetry. The Ru(II) atom has a slightly distorted octa-hedral geometry. The pyrazine rings are propeller-like and rotated 45.1 (1)° from the RuN(4) plane. In the crystal, the complex and solvent mol-ecules are br...

The description of the interactome represents one of key challenges remaining for structural biology. Physiologically important weak interactions, with dissociation constants above 100 muM, are remarkably common, but remain beyond the reach of most of structural biology. NMR spectroscopy, and in particular, residual dipolar couplings (RDCs) provide crucial conformational constraints on intermol...

Posttranslational modifications offer a dynamic way to regulate protein activity, subcellular localization, and stability. Here we estimate the effect of phosphorylation on protein binding and function for different types of complexes from human proteome. We find that phosphorylation sites tend to be located on binding interfaces in heterooligomeric and weak transient homooligomeric complexes. ...

The effect of fluorine substitution on the hydrogen bond strength in alcohol-amine molecular complexes was investigated, with a combination of vapour phase infrared spectroscopy and theoretical calculations. The complexes were combined from methanol (MeOH), ethanol (EtOH) and trifluoroethanol (TFE) as the hydrogen bond donor, and either dimethylamine (DMA) or trimethylamine (TMA) as the accepto...

In the present study we have performed electron collision experiments with copper carboxylate complexes: [Cu2(t-BuNH2)2(µ-O2CC2F5)4], [Cu2(s-BuNH2)2(µ-O2CC2F5)4], [Cu2(EtNH2)2(µ-O2CC2F5)4], and [Cu2(µ-O2CC2F5)4]. Mass spectrometry was used to identify the fragmentation pattern of the coordination compounds produced in crossed electron - molecular beam experiments and to measure the dependence o...

The synthesis and characterization of some new binuclear copper (II) complexes, based on the use of large, pyrole-containing macrocycles, the so called "expanded porphyrins", [Cu2(macrocycle)]+4 is described. Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) studies indicate a weak "half-field line", which is characteristic of the Cu(II)-Cu(II) dimer, is observed at about 1600G. The obser...

in this study, the role of interaction of pi electrons on the strength of simultaneous σ-hole interactions (pnicogen, chalcogen and halogen bonds) is investigated using the quantum chemical calculations. x-ben||taz∙∙∙y1,y2,y3 complexes (x = cn, f, cl, br, ch3 , oh and nh2, taz= s-triazine and y1,y2 and y3 denotes ph2f, hsf, and clf molecules) is introduced as a model. the results show that inte...
