A range of optically active pyrrole monomers have been synthesized in which a chiral sub- stituent is covalently bonded either to the pyrrole N or C3 ring position, namely (–)-(1R)-4-methyl-N-(1-phenylethyl)pyrrole-3-carboxamide, (+)-(1S)-4-methyl-N-(1-phenylethyl)pyrrole-3-carboxamide, (–)-(1R)-4-methyl-N-(1-naphthylethyl)pyrrole-3-carboxamide, (+)-(1S)-4-methyl-N-(1-naphthylethyl)pyrrole-3-carboxamide, (+)-(2S)-2-(1H-pyrrol-1-yl)propionic acid, (+)-(1S)-N-(1-phenyl-ethyl)pyrrole, and (–)-(1R)-N-(1-phenylethyl)pyrrole. Their chiroptical properties have been established by circular dichroism spectroscopy. Electropolymerization of the three N-substituted pyrrole monomers provided films of chiral conducting polymers, whose electrical and spectroscopic properties are described. Although oxidation of the C3 substituted pyrrole monomers was also facile, electrodeposition was poor and films of the associated polymers could not be obtained.

A novel gadolinium triple-decker sandwich-type complex containing tetrabenzoporphyrin (TBP) ligands-Gd (TBP)3was prepared from porphyrin 1 and Gd (acac)3.nH2O in boiling 1, 2, 4-Tcb for 45~48 h under Ar. Its structure is characterized by Uv-Vis spectroscopy and HR-MS. The spectroscopic properties show that its longest-wavelength visible band (600-800 nm) is obviously red-shifted due to the extension of the π conjugated systems derived from the linear benzoannulation in the TBP ring. The magnetic studies also indicate that there is no magnetic interactions between two Gd (III) ions in the triple-deckers in the range from room temperature down to 20K and very weak antiferromagnetic coupling exists between two Gd (III) ions below 20K.

Abstract Ancestral sequence reconstruction (ASR) is the calculation of ancient protein sequences on the basis of extant ones. It is most powerful in combination with the experimental characterization of the corresponding proteins. Such analyses allow for the study of problems that are otherwise intractable. For example, ASR has been used to characterize ancestral enzymes dating back to the Paleoarchean era and to deduce properties of the corresponding habitats. In addition, the historical approach underlying ASR enables the identification of amino acid residues key to protein function, which is often not possible by only comparing extant proteins. Along these lines, residues responsible for the spectroscopic properties of protein pigments were identified as well as residues determining the binding specificity of steroid receptors. Further applications are studies related to the longevity of mutations, the contribution of gene duplications to enzyme functionalization, and the evolution of protein complexes. For these applications of ASR, we discuss recent examples; moreover, we introduce the basic principles of the underlying algorithms and present state-of-the-art protocols.

Preparative methods have been explored for the synthesis of small, volatile polysilaalkanes, which could serve as starting materials for the production of amorphous silicon a-SiC:H. High yield pathways have been developed for H3SiCH2CH2SiH3 and H3SiCH2CH2CH2SiH3. These compounds can be converted into symmetrically halogen-functional derivatives through the reac­tions with SnCl4 or Br2. The homologous H3SiCH2CH2SiH2CH3 has also been prepared and halogenated, starting from the corresponding vinylsilane via the hydrosilylation route. Allylsilanes were the source of the synthesis of H3SiCH2CH=CH2, CH3SiH2CH2CH=CH, SiH2(CH2CH = CH2)2, SiH2(CH2CH2CH2SiH3)2, or HSi(CH2CH2CH2SiH3)3. Methylated deriva­tives are also available. - Some physical and spectroscopic properties of the new compounds have been investigated. In particular. NMR data were collected and used for an assessment of structure and isomerism.

Magnesium chelatase is the ‘gatekeeper’ multi-subunit enzyme complex that initiates chlorophyll biosynthesis; we present the first characterization of an active thermostable enzyme complex and we use hybrid mesophilic/thermophilic chelatase complexes to reveal that Mg2+ co-operativity resides in the ChlD subunit.
