Shell Proteins

Bacterial microcompartments are large supramolecular structures comprising an outer proteinaceous shell that encapsulates various enzymes in order to optimize metabolic processes. The outer shells of bacterial microcompartments are made of several thousand protein subunits, generally forming hexameric building blocks based on the canonical bacterial microcompartment (BMC) domain. Among the diverse metabolic types of bacterial microcompartments, the structures of those that use glycyl radical enzymes to metabolize choline have not been adequately characterized. Here, six structures of hexameric shell proteins from type I and type II choline-utilization microcompartments are reported. Sequence and structure analysis reveals electrostatic surface properties that are shared between the four types of shell proteins described here.

Porphyrin Analogues

We report here the synthesis and structural characterization of a novel expanded Schiff base oligopyrrolic macrocycle TxLH (i.e. compound 2) along with its smaller congener hemi-TxLH (i.e. compound 1). The solid-state structure of TxLH is reminiscent of the shape of a Texas Longhorn[Formula: see text]. It thus defines a new architectural form for porphyrin analogues. The present study thus underscores the potential of using functionalized oligopyrroles as readily accessible molecular building blocks for the construction of structurally non-trivial molecules.

The incorporation of benzene-l,2-dithiolato building blocks into supramolecular coordination assemblies is the main objective of the investigations described here. Special interest is directed towards dinuclear complexes with bis(benzene-l,2-dithiolato) ligands, which might be able to form helical structures. Bis(benzene-l,2-dithiolato) ligands are accessible byortho-functionalization and subsequent linkage of two benzene-l,2-dithiol units. The preparation of well defined complexes of titanium, cobalt and nickel with bis(benzene-l,2-dithiolato) ligands requires strictly thermodynamic equilibration conditions. In that case the size and shape of the ligand backbone determine if dinuclear double-stranded or mononuclear chelate complexes are obtained. The dinuclear double-stranded complexes with Ni(II) and Ni(III) are characterized by a coplanar non-helical arrangement of the square-planar bis(benzene-l,2-dithiolato)nickelate moieties. The complete structural characterization of the series[M(C6H4S2-1,2)3]n-(n = 0, 1, 2) for molybdenum and tungsten indicates an interesting coordination chemistry of dinuclear triple-stranded complexes.

AbstractHerein, the first example of a co-crystal system formed by an imidazolium nitrate, a carbene precursor, and copper (II) nitrate, {[Cu(NO3)2(H2O)2]L1(NO3)2} (1) (L1 = 1,1′-dibenzyl-3,3′-butyl-diimidazolium-2,2′-diylidene) is reported. These two building blocks are connected in the solid state through hydrogen bonds to generate a three-dimensional supramolecular network.
