Covalent attachment

The bicyclic compound 8.17 also serves as a source of the five-membered ring 8.20 upon reduction with SbPhs. In contrast to the related S or Se systems, 8.11a and 8.11b, both Cl substituents are attached covalently to Te in 8.20. Reaction of 8.20 with an excess of AsFs in SO2 produces the eight-membered cyclic [Tc2S2N4] dication, which exhibits a Te-Te bond length of 2.88 A (cf. 2.70 A for a Te-Te single bond) and no transannular S S bonding J... 

This relatively new class of CSPs incorporates glycopeptides attached covalently to silica gel. These CSPs can be used in the normal phase, reversed phase, and polar organic modes in LC [62]. Various functional groups on the macrocyclic antibiotic molecule provide opportunities for tt-tt complexation, hydrogen bonding, and steric interactions between the analyte and the chiral selector. Association of the analyte... 

The Gram-negative cell envelope (Fig. 1.4) is even more complicated essentially, it contains lipoprotein molecules attached covalently to the oligosaccharide backbone and in addition, on its outer side, a layer of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and protein attached by hydrophobic interactions and divalent metal cations, Ca and Mg. On the inner side is a layer of phospholipid (PL). 

It is first necessary to distinguish the surface organometallic chemistry on metals and on oxides since one deals with a large ensemble of metals, while the others generate dispersed metal atoms attached covalently onto the support.

Strueturally related adduets include the 8-phenol derivatives, 8-(4"-hydroxyphenyl)-dG (8-p-PhOH-dG), and 8-(2"-hydroxyphenyl)-dG (8-o-PhOH-dG) that are generated by reaetion of phenol with excess nitrite.This reaetion generates diazoquinones that break down into hydroxyphenyl radicals that attach covalently to C-8 of dG. Diazoquinones are mutagenic in the Ames test without metabolie aetivation, and it is expected that hydroxyphenyl radicals and the isomeric adducts, 8-p-PhOH-dG and 8-o-PhOH-dG, play a key role in the mutagenie activity of diazoquinones. Careinogenic PAHs, such as benzo[a]pyrene (BP), also form C8-dG adducts (8-BP-dG, Fig. 7). 2,173 hile classical metabolic activation of... 

PCP-phenolic radical that possesses an absorption spectrum in H2O at 440 nm and decays via second-order kineties with k = 9. x 10 /M/s, as evidenced by pulse radiolytie studies. The PCP-phenolic radical can attach covalently to the C8-site of dG to generate the C8-OPCP adductIn the presence of GSH, redox cyeling of the phenoxyl radieal with thiyl radieal generation will yield a GSH disulfide anion radieal that ean reduetively aetivate O2 to generate the superoxide radieal anion (02 ) that ean generate free ferrous iron Free Fe " " may... 

Most reported anthocyanins are monomeric in nature however, new types of flavonoids consisting of an anthocyanin moiety covalently linked to another flavonoid unit have been reported in the period of this review. One class includes one anthocyanin unit and one flavone or flavonol unit attached covalently to each end of a common dicarboxylic acid. The other class involves one anthocyanin moiety covalently linked directly to a flavanol unit. 

Besides these modifications, certain proteins can acquire prosthetic groups (e.g., hemes, flavins, iron-sulfur centers, and others). The prosthetic groups may be attached covalently (usually to amino acid side chains) in some cases, noncovalently... 

It is desirable under certain circumstances to use an enzyme in what is called an immobilized form. The enzyme is attached covalently or by entrapment in a polymer matrix. A contaminated fluid that comes into contact with the polymer is thus acted upon by the enzyme to produce a desired effect. We will discuss the advantages in subsequent chapters. While this technique lowers the efficiency of the enzyme, it extends its useful life by orders of magnitude, and the enzyme is not thrown away with the bathwater. ... 

Entrapping an enzyme within a gel is a common technique, but washout and membrane diffusion are important issues. The most effective system would be an enzyme that attaches covalently to a flow-through medium of high surface area to create a system that would represent an optimal balance of both chemical and engineering attributes. This optimal balance is the basis of several applications for polyurethane and its composites. 

In contrast, chondroitin, dermatan, keratan, and heparan sulfates are attached covalently to the proteins at the reducing ends of the polymer chains (see Section D). 

The fatty acid chains are evidently embedded in the outer membrane as an anchor. About one-third of the lipoprotein molecules are attached covalently to the peptidoglycan through an amide linkage between the side chain amino group of the C-terminal lysine of the protein and a diaminopimelic acid residue of the peptidoglycan (Fig. 8-29). Thus, the protein replaces one of the terminal D-alanine residues of about one in ten of the murein peptides. There are 2.5 x 105 molecules of the bound form of the lipoprotein per cell spread over a surface area of peptidoglycan of 3 pm2. They appear to be associated as trimers located primarily in the periplasmic space.589... 

Another strategy for catalyzing the hydrolysis of an ester or an amide is to replace water by a stronger nucleophilic group that is part of the enzyme s active site. The HOCH2— group of a serine residue is often used in this way. In such cases, the reaction of the serine with the substrate splits the overall reaction into a two-step process. Instead of immediately yielding the free carboxylic acid, the breakdown of the initial tetrahedral intermediate yields an intermediate ester that is attached covalently to the enzyme. 

Other groups that can be attached covalently to enzymes include fatty acids, isoprenoid alcohols such as far-nesol, and carbohydrates. Although such modifications are widespread, our understanding of how cells use them to regulate enzymatic activities is still fragmentary. 

Iron protoporphyrin IX (heme) is found in the b-type cytochromes and in hemoglobin and myoglobin. In heme c, cysteine residues of the protein (R) are attached covalently by thioether links to the two vinyl (—CH=CH2) groups of protoporphyrin IX. Heme c is found in the c cytochromes. In heme A, which is found in the a cytochromes, a 15-carbon isoprenoid side chain is attached to one of the vinyls, and a formyl group replaces one of the methyls. 

Inorganic-organic hybrid POMs have attracted much attention because the electron and steric properties of the POMs significantly affect the catalytic properties of a metal center [88-91]. One hybrid catalyst consisted of a metallo-salen complex attached covalently to a lacunary POM [SiWn039]8- via two propyl spacers. In contrast with an usual Mn(III) salen species, the metallosalen complex modified with the POM afforded a more oxidized Mn(IV) salen-POM or Mn(III) salen cation radical-POM compound [89].
