The X-ray crystal structure of carbamoyl phosphate synthetase (CPS) from Escherichia coli has unveiled the existence of two molecular tunnels within the heterodimeric enzyme. These two interdomain tunnels connect the three distinct active sites within this remarkably complex protein and apparently function as conduits for the transport of unstable reaction intermediates between successive activ...

Pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinoline derivatives were synthesized by one-pot three-component reactions starting from isoquinoline, 2-bromoacetophenones and different non-symmetrical acetylenic dipolarophiles using 1,2-epoxypropane as solvent. The structure of the compounds was assigned by IR and NMR spectroscopy.

In the title naphthalimide derivative, C(23)H(26)N(2)O(6), the 1,8-naphthalimide system is essentially planar [maximum deviation = 0.0456 (16) Å]. A characteristic pattern of alternating long and short C-C bond lengths is observed in the 1,8-naphthalimide unit. The mean planes through the methyl carbamate and acetic acid groups form dihedral angles of 42.30 (9) and 61.59 (9)°, respectively, wit...

The simultaneous determination of two carbamate pesticides (carbaryl and carbendazim) and of the degradation product of carbaryl (1-naphthol) in iceberg lettuce was achieved by means of PARAFAC decomposition and excitation-emission fluorescence matrices. A standard addition method for a calibration based on four-way data was applied using different dilutions of the extract from iceberg lettuce ...

The title compound, [Re(C3H6NS2)(C2H3N)(CO)3], features an octa-hedrally coordinated ReI atom within a C3NS2 donor set defined by three carbonyl ligands in a facial arrangement, an aceto-nitrile N atom and two S atoms derived from a symmetrically coordinating di-thio-carbamate ligand. In the crystal, di-thio-carbamate-methyl-H⋯O(carbon-yl) inter-actions lead to supra-molecular chains along [36-...

The carbamate compounds are a class of cholinesterase-inhibiting pesticides (Farage-Elawar, 1990) and bendiocarb (2, 3-isopropyledene-dioxyphenyl methylcarbamate, BC) is the most widely used carbamate insecticide to control disease vectors (mosquitoes, flies, household and agricultural pests). Like other carbamate insecticides, BC is a reversible inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase (AChE). The bl...

The Sn(IV) atom in the title diorganotin dithio-carbamate, [Sn(C(4)H(9))(2)(C(15)H(14)NS(2))Cl], is penta-coordinated by an asymmetrically coordinating dithio-carbamate ligand, a Cl atom and two C atoms of the Sn-bound tert-butyl groups. The resulting C(2)ClS(2) donor set defines a coordination geometry inter-mediate between square pyramidal and trigonal bipyramidal with a slight tendency towar...
