Structures inference

A striking feature of the formulas (4.68a)-(4.68c) is that the coordination number (CN) of ligands bonded to Co is six (CN = 6) in each case. Werner conjectured that such six-fold coordination corresponds to idealized octahedral geometry about the central Co ion, which leads to unique structures for [Co(NH3)6]3+ and [Co(NH3)5C1]2+ but distinct cis and trans isomers for [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+, as observed. X-ray studies subsequently confirmed the accuracy of Werner s brilliant structural inferences. 

Altogether, the identification of the coordinating residues in the endogenous hDAT Zn2+ binding site followed by the engineering artificial sites have defined an important series of structural constraints in this transporter. This includes not only a series of proximity relationships in the tertiary structure, but also secondary structure relationships. The data also provided information about the orientation of TM7 relative to TM8. A model of the TM7/8 microdomain that incorporates all these structural constraints is shown in Fig. 4 (36). The model is an important example of how structural inferences derived from a series of Zn2+ binding sites can provide sufficient information for at least an initial structural mapping of a selected protein domain.

Initial protein folding intermediates formed as a consequence of nonlocal interactions on the reaction path from unfolded to partially folded states. These loops are likely to determine the trajectory of later folding steps. The character of nonlocal interactions is likely to be much different than structures inferred from the results... 

All fragments listed bear +1 charges. To be used in conjunction with Appendix C. Not all members of homologous and isomeric series are given. The list is meant to be suggestive rather than exhaustive. Appendix II of Hamming and Foster (1972), Table A-7 of McLafferty s (1993) interpretative book, and the high-resolution ion data of McLafferty (1982) are recommended as supplements. Structural inferences are listed in parentheses. ... 

The fundamental vibrations have been assigned for the M-H-M backbone of HM COho, M = Cr, Mo, and W. When it is observable, the asymmetric M-H-M stretch occurs around 1700 cm-1 in low temperature ir spectra. One or possibly two deformation modes occur around 850 cm l in conjunction with overtones that are enhanced in intensity by Fermi resonance. The symmetric stretch, which involves predominantly metal motion, is expected below 150 cm l. For the molybdenum and tungsten compounds, this band is obscured by other low frequency features. Vibrational spectroscopic evidence is presented for a bent Cr-H-Cr array in [PPN][(OC)5Cr-H-Cr(CO)5], This structural inference is a good example of the way in which vibrational data can supplement diffraction data in the structural analysis of disordered systems. Implications of the bent Cr-H-Cr array are discussed in terms of a simple bonding model which involves a balance between nuclear repulsion, M-M overlap, and M-H overlap. The literature on M-H -M frequencies is summarized.

You compare the simulation to a published structure inferred from chemical probing. Often, probing data do not uniquely determine the s true litre. Unfortunately, there is no convenient tool (as yet) to compute all thermodynamically reasonable structures that are consistent with a collection of probing data.

Advances in petroleum characterization at the molecular structure level by GC-MS methods renewed interest in OSC. Within the past few years, at least one-thousand new and novel OSC that previously were not known to be present in petroleum and bitumens have been reported. Tentative molecular structures inferred from GC-MS and other techniques have been confirmed in many cases by synthesis of authentic reference-compounds. The difficult and time-consuming synthetic work has been crucial in validating many of the novel structures. Another key finding has been that immature bitumens and crude oils (samples that have not received significant thermal stress) differ markedly from the previously known OSC in that they have carbon-skeletons resembling ubiquitous biomarker hydrocarbons (e.g., n-alkanes, isoprenoid alkanes, steranes, and hopanes). This similarity, of course, suggests that the hydrocarbons and OSC have common biogenic precursors.

Wilkes and Emerson (97) studied the time-dependent behavior of a polyester polyurethane (MDI-BD based 40% hard segment) which was heated to 160°C for 5 min, then rapidly quenched to room temperature. To monitor changes in phase separation, SAXS intensity values (at a fixed angle) were recorded as a function of time. Furthermore, the elastic modulus and soft-segment Tg were followed with time. The results, shown in Figure 14, reveal an approximately exponential decay toward equilibrium with a good correlation between properties (Tg and modulus) and structure (inferred by SAXS intensities). 

There are relatively few direct transmission, electron microscopy (TEM) studies of domain structures in polyurethanes (3-7,13,14,15). No distinct micelle-lamellae platelets have been observed in the urethane systems thus studied. Instead, the domain structures which have been observed generally appear as isolated equiaxed grains 30-500 A in diameter (4,13,14,15). Randomly oriented fibrils with lateral dimensions of 300-600 A have been observed in a polyether/MDI/BDO system (3,6). It remains to be seen what relation the equiaxed grains (domains) and the fibrils observed by transmission electron microscopy have with the micelle-lamellae structures inferred from WAXS and SAXS (12,16). 

In fact, a tremendous amount of information is available on the structures of biological macromolecules descriptions of structures of proteins and nucleic acids make up major portions of modern textbooks in biochemistry and molecular biology. The Protein Data Bank and the Nucleic Acid Database are online archives that contain sequence and structural data on thousands of specific molecules and complexes of molecules. This structural information comes from in vitro experiments, with structures inferred from the x-ray diffraction patterns of crystallized molecules, spectroscopic measurements using multi-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance, and a host of other methodologies. 

Abstract Methods, evolutionary and systematic search approaches, and applications of crystal structure prediction of closest-packed and framework materials are reviewed. Strategies include developing better cost functions, used to assess the quality of the candidate structures that are generated, and ways to reduce the set of candidate structures to be assessed. The crystallographic coordinates for new materials, available only as a powder sample, are often intractable from diffraction data alone. In recent years, steady progress has been made in the ability to solve previously unknown crystal structures of such compounds, the generation of known structures (inferring more confidence in such approaches) and the prediction of hypothetical yet-to-be-synthesised structures. 

The exact wavelength necessary to effect the w — v transition in a jugoted molecule depends on the enenev cap between HOMO and LUHOj which in turn -dependa on the nature of the conjugated system. Thus, measurliig the OV spectrum of an unknown, we can derive structural infer-[nation about the nature of any conjugated w electron system present.

Crystal structures of many NHEJ proteins have tremendously supported the discussions above. Also, electron microscopy revealed the overall shape of the large and complex DNA-PKcs structure (23). For most other domains, structural inferences can be drawn by mapping NHEJ proteins onto crystallized enzymes of the same class. However, no published structures show two DSB ends engaged together, which I argue defines the unique functions of NHEJ proteins. Similarly, poor insight exists into the intercoimected assembly of the full NHEJ repair complex. Furthermore, crystal structures are static, whereas NHEJ is dynamic with multiple different reactions.
