Ligand Interactions

Heparan sulphate (HS) is an essential co-receptor for a number of growth factors, morphogens and adhesion proteins. The biosynthetic modifications involved in the generation of a mature HS chain may determine the strength and outcome of HS–ligand interactions. These modifications are catalysed by a complex family of enzymes, some of which occur as multiple gene products. Various mutant mice have now been generated, which lack the function of isolated components of the HS biosynthetic pathway. In this discussion, we outline the key findings of these studies, and use them to put into context our own work concerning the structure of the HS generated by the Hs2st-/- mice.

Initial Description

SummaryNative DNA (dsDNA) induces the aggregation of isolated human platelets. Using isotopically labeled dsDNA (125I-dsDNA) and Scatchard analysis, a single class of platelet receptor was detected with a KD = 190 pM and numbering ~275/platelet. This receptor was discriminatory in that heat denatured dsDNA, poly A, poly C, poly C · I and poly C · poly I failed to substantially inhibit either the platelet binding of, or platelet aggregation induced by, dsDNA; by themselves, these polynucleotides were ineffective as platelet agonists. However, poly G, poly I and poly G · I effectively and competitively inhibited platelet binding of the radioligand, independently activated the platelet and when used at a sub-activating concentration decreased the extent of dsDNA stimulated platelet aggregation. These data depict a receptor on human platelets for dsDNA and perhaps certain additional polynucleotides and relate receptor-ligand interactions to a physiologic platelet function.

CO2 is a harmful greenhouse gas, a product of chemical emissions, the combustion of fossil fuels and car exhausts, and it is a widely available source of carbon. The review considers various ways of hydrogenation of carbon dioxide into components of motor fuels - methanol, dimethyl ether, ethanol, hydrocarbons - in the presence of heterogeneous catalysts. At each route of conversion of CO2 (into oxygenates or hydrocarbons) the first stage is the formation of CO by the reverse water gas shift (rWGS) reaction, which must be taken into account when catalysts of process are choosing. The influence of chemical nature, specific surface area, particle size and interaction between catalyst components, as well as the method of its production on the CO2 conversion processes is analyzed. It is noted that the main active components of CO2 conversion into methanol are copper atoms and ions which interact with the oxide components of the catalyst. There is a positive effect of other metals oxides additives with strong basic centers on the surface on the activity of the traditional copper-zinc-aluminum oxide catalyst for the synthesis of methanol from the synthesis gas. The most active catalysts for the synthesis of DME from CO2 and H2 are bifunctional. These catalysts contain both a methanol synthesis catalyst and a dehydrating component, such as mesoporous zeolites with acid centers of weak and medium strength, evenly distributed on the surface. The synthesis of gasoline hydrocarbons (≥ C5) is carried out through the formation of CO or CH3OH and DME as intermediates on multifunctional catalysts, which also contain zeolites. Hydrogenation of CO2 into ethanol can be considered as an alternative to the synthesis of ethanol through the hydration of ethylene. High activation energy of carbon dioxide, harsh synthesis conditions as well as high selectivity for hydrocarbons, in particular methane remains the main problems. Further increase of selectivity and efficiency of carbon dioxide hydrogenation processes involves the use of nanocatalysts taking into account the mechanism of CO2 conversion reactions, development of methods for removing excess water as a by-product from the reaction zone and increasing catalyst stability over time.

Theoretical Evidence

<p>Although solvent-ligand interactions play a major role in nanocrystal synthesis, dispersion formulation and assembly, there is currently no direct method to study this. Here we examine the broadening of <sup>1</sup>H NMR resonances associated with bound ligands, and turn this poorly understood descriptor into a tool to assess solvent-ligand interactions. We show that the line broadening has both a homogeneous and a heterogeneous component. The former is nanocrystal-size dependent and the latter results from solvent-ligand interactions. Our model is supported by experimental and theoretical evidence that correlates broad NMR lines with poor ligand solvation. This correlation is found across a wide range of solvents, extending from water to hexane, for both hydrophobic and hydrophilic ligand types, and for a multitude of oxide, sulfide and selenide nanocrystals. Our findings thus put forward NMR line shape analysis as an indispensable tool to form, investigate and manipulate nanocolloids.</p>
