Wild-type and site-specific mutants C166S and C166A (Cys-166 → Ser and Cys-166 → Ala respectively) of the amidase (acylamide amidohydrolase, EC 3.5.1.4) from Pseudomonas aeruginosa were expressed in Escherichia coli by using the vector pKK223-3. Both mutant proteins were catalytically inactive but showed complete cross-reactivity with polyclonal antiserum raised against the wild-type enzyme, as well as CD spectra identical with that of the wild-type enzyme, which were indicative of correct folding. Cys-166 is therefore implicated as the active-site nucleophile. Titration of free thiol groups with 5,5ʹ-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) indicated that Cys-166 is not a rapidly reacting residue. Crystals of both wild-type and C166S amidase grew with identical, rhombohedral morphology; X-ray diffraction analysis established the unit cell dimensions (a = b = c = 84 Å; α = β = γ = 75 °) and space group (R3 or R32). These results imply a quaternary structure of six subunits, with most probably 32 symmetry; the existence of a hexameric structure was supported by molecular mass determinations based on gel filtration and electrophoretic mobility.

The methanol-soluble part of Salvia nubicola has yielded a new germacranolide and a new ceramide named nubtrienolide and nubenamide, respectively. Structures of both the isolated constituents were elucidated with the aid of spectroscopic techniques; the nubtrienolide structure was further confirmed via single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Among both the metabolites, nubtrienolide showed strong growth inhibition against Pseudomonas aeruginosa while during phytotoxicity testing, the same compound promoted the growth of Lemna minor L. instead to inhibit it.

Thermolysis of [8,8-(PMe2Ph)2-nido-8,7-PtCB9H11] in boiling toluene solution results in an elimination of the platinum centre and cluster closure to give the ten-vertex closo species [6-(PMe2Ph)-closo-1-CB9H9] in 85% yield as a colourles air stable solid. The product is characterized by NMR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Crystals (from hexane-dichloromethane) are monoclinic, space group P21/c, with a = 903.20(9), b = 1 481.86(11), c = 2 320.0(2) pm, β = 97.860(7)° and Z = 8, and the structure has been refined to R(Rw) = 0.045(0.051) for 3 281 observed reflections with Fo > 2.0σ(Fo). The clean high-yield elimination of a metal centre from a polyhedral metallaborane or metallaheteroborane species is very rare.

Dinuclear rhodium(I) η2:η2-cycloocta-1,5-diene (series a) and η2:η2-norborna-2,5-diene (series b) complexes with μ-RCOO- ligands, where R is linear C21H43 (complexes 1a, 1b), CH2CMe3 (2a, 2b), 1-adamantyl (3a, 3b) and benzyl (4a, 4b), have been prepared and characterized by spectroscopic methods. Structures of complexes 2b, 3a and 4a were determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. Complexes prepared show low to moderate catalytic activity in polymerization of phenylacetylene in THF giving high-cis-transoid polymers, but they show only oligomerization activity in dichloromethane.
