Iterative monomer redesign leads to a Kme3-peptide receptor with 10-fold tighter affinity and 5-fold improved selectivity over Kme2 than the original receptor. Thermodynamic analysis provides insight into this improvement.

Amplification of a thermodynamically unfavoured macrocyclic product through the directed shift of the equilibrium between dynamic covalent chemistry library members is difficult to achieve. We show for the first time that during condensation of formaldehyde and <i>cis</i>-<i>N,N'</i>-cyclohexa-1,2-diylurea formation of <i>inverted-cis</i>-cyclohexanohemicucurbit[6]uril (<i>i-cis</i>-cycHC[6]) can be induced at the expense of thermodynamically favoured <i>cis</i>-cyclohexanohemicucurbit[6]uril (<i>cis</i>-cycHC[6]). The formation of <i>i-cis-</i>cycHC[6] is enhanced in low concentration of the templating chloride anion and suppressed in excess of this template. We found that reaction selectivity is governed by the solution-based template-aided dynamic combinatorial chemistry and continuous removal of the formed cycHC[6] macrocycles from the equilibrating solution by precipitation. Notably, the <i>i-cis</i>-cycHC[6] was isolated with 33% yield. Different binding affinities of three diastereomeric <i>i-cis</i>-, <i>cis</i>-cycHC[6] and their chiral isomer (<i>R,R</i>)-cycHC[6] for trifluoroacetic acid demonstrate the influence of macrocycle geometry on complex formation.

ABSTRACT The mechanism of thermostabilization of GH10 xylanase, XynR, from Bacillus sp. strain TAR-1 by the mutation of S92 to E was investigated. Thermodynamic analysis revealed that thermostabilization was driven by the decrease in entropy change of activation for thermal inactivation. Crystallographic analysis suggested that this mutation suppressed the fluctuation of the amino acid residues at position 92-95.

Two different approaches are described for the creation of supramolecular systems potentially capable of recognition and catalysis. Using the design approach, we have been able to accelerate and influence two different Diels­Alder reactions within the cavities of porphyrin dimers and trimers; this is templating from the outside inwards. The selection approach is a synthetic chemical attempt to capture some of the key evolutionary features of biological systems: dynamic combinatorial chemistry is used to create equilibrating mixtures of potential receptors, and then a template is used to select and amplify the desired system. Five potential reactions for such dynamic chemistry are discussed: base-catalyzed transesterification, hydrazone exchange, disulfide exchange, alkene metathesis, and Pd-catalyzed allyl exchange, and preliminary templating results (inside outwards) are presented.

The β-SiH agostic complex (ArN)2Mo{η3-N(tBu)SiMe2–H}H is a pre-catalyst for hydrosilylation of carbonyls. Mechanistic studies revealed a non-hydride mechanism, with the benzoxy complex 8 being the resting state.
