https://www.selleckchem.com/products/go6976.html The interactions between glutathione disulfide, GSSG, the redox partner and dimer of the intracellular detoxification agent glutathione, GSH, and hexavalent uranium, U(VI), were extensively studied by solution NMR (in D2O), complemented by time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence and IR spectroscopies. As expected for the hard Lewis acid U(VI), coordination facilitates by the ligands' O-donor carboxyl groups. However, owing to the adjacent cationic α-amino group, the glutamyl-COO reveal monodentate binding, while the COO of the glycyl residues show bidentate coordination. The log K value for the reaction UO22+ + H3GSSG- → UO2(H3GSSG)+ (pH 3, 0.1 M NaClO4) was determined for the first time, being 4.81 ± 0.08; extrapolation to infinite dilution gave log K⊖ = 5.24 ± 0.08. U(VI) and GSSG form precipitates in the whole pD range studied (2-8), showing least solubility for 4 less then pD less then 6.5. Thus, particularly GSSG, hereby representing also other peptides and small proteins, affects the mobility of U(VI), strongly depending on the speciation of either component.Stereodivergent catalysis is of great importance, as it can allow efficient access to all possible stereoisomers of a given product with multiple stereocenters from the same set of starting materials. We report herein the first diastereodivergent [3 + 2] annulation of aromatic aldimines with alkenes via C-H activation by half-sandwich rare-earth catalysts. This protocol provides an efficient and general route for the selective synthesis of both trans and cis diastereoisomers of multisubstituted 1-aminoindanes from the same set of aldimines and alkenes, featuring 100% atom efficiency, excellent diastereoselectivity, broad substrate scope, and good functional group compatibility. The diastereodivergence is achieved by fine-tuning the sterics or ligand/metal combination of the half-sandwich rare-earth metal complexes.Early diagnosis of the highly pathogenic H5
