The effect of glycine-to-arginine mutations in the alpha 1 (I)-chain on collagen triple-helix structure in lethal perinatal osteogenesis imperfecta was studied by determination of the helix denaturation temperature and by computerized molecular modelling. Arginine substitutions at glycine residues 391 and 667 resulted in similar small decreases in helix stability. Molecular modelling suggested that the glycine-to-arginine-391 mutant resulted in only a relatively small localized disruption to the helix structure. Thus the glycine-to-arginine substitutions may lead to only a small structural abnormality of the collagen helix, and it is most likely that the over-modification of lysine, poor secretion, increased degradation and other functional sequelae result from a kinetic defect in collagen helix formation resulting from the mutation.

Various complexes of DHA with transition-metal cations are known for their antifungal properties. Here, four novel Zn and Cd complexes were prepared via the substitution of water by pyridine andg-picoline using Zn(DHA)2(H2O)2 (2) and Cd(DHA)2(H2O)2 (3) as starting materials. The products were characterized by IR, UV, elemental analysis, TGA and NMR techniques, including correlation times and intermolecular distance measurements using the NULL pulse sequence. The experimental data were compared to the molecular modeling results using DFT and the semiempirical method PM3, confirming that the pentacoordinated Zn complexes have bipyramidal geometry while the Cd complexes have the expected octahedral geometry. These results show that substitution of Zn by Cd leads to an important modification of the coordination structure, especially when strong ligands are involved.

This article develops an inter-disciplinary and trans-disciplinary framework of analysis that relates knowledge, innovation and the environment (natural environments) to each other. For that purpose the five-helix structure model of the Quintuple Helix is being introduced. The Triple Helix model, designed by Etzkowitz and Leydesdorff (2000), focuses on the relations of universities, industry and governments. The Quadruple Helix (Carayannis & Campbell, 2009) blends in the perspective of a media-based and culture-based public. The Quintuple Helix finally frames knowledge and innovation in the context of the environment (natural environments). Therefore, the Quintuple Helix can be interpreted as an approach in line with sustainable development and social ecology. “Eco-innovation” and “eco-entrepreneurship” should be processed in such a broader understanding of knowledge and innovation.
