  • Mechanistic Studies on the Nickel-Catalyzed Cyclopropanation with...

    University of Auckland
    We report here our mechanistic study of the previously published nickel-catalyzed cyclopropanation reaction using lithiomethyltrimethylammonium triflate as methylene donor. The cyclopropane yield is highly dependent on the olefin substrate and correlates well with the binding affinity of the olefin to Ni(0) as established elsewhere. On the basis of this...

  • Identification of the retinoschisin-binding site on the retinal Na/K-ATPase

    University of Auckland
    X-linked juvenile retinoschisis (XLRS) is a hereditary retinal dystrophy, caused by mutations in the RS1 gene which encodes the secreted protein retinoschisin. In recent years, several molecules have been proposed to interact with retinoschisin, including the retinal Na/K-ATPase, L-voltage gated Ca2+ channels, and specific sugars. We recently showed that...

    FindingsHere, we demonstrate that OP2113 (5-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-3H-1,2-dithiole-3-thione, CAS 532-11-6), synthesized and used as a drug since 1696, does not act as an unspecific antioxidant molecule (i.e., as a radical scavenger) but unexpectedly decreases mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS/H2O2) production by acting as a specific inhibitor of ROS...

    University of Auckland
    Enterococcus faecalis is an opportunistic pathogen with an intrinsically high resistance to lysozyme, a key effector of the innate immune system. This high level of resistance requires a complex network of transcriptional regulators and several genes (oatA, pgdA, dltA and sigV) acting synergistically to inhibit both the enzymatic and cationic...

    University of Auckland
    Although alkynes have been extensively exploited in [2 + 2 + 2] cycloadditions with nitriles to form N-heterocyclic aromatics, the “alkyne-like” metal–carbon triple bond has never been used in [2 + 2 + 2] cycloadditions with nitriles. We demonstrate the synthesis of the first metallapyrazine through [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition reactions of a metal–carbyne...

  • Self-Assembling 2D Arrays with <i>de Novo</i> Protein Building Blocks

    University of Auckland
    Modular self-assembly of biomolecules in two dimensions (2D) is straightforward with DNA but has been difficult to realize with proteins, due to the lack of modular specificity similar to Watson–Crick base pairing. Here we describe a general approach to design 2D arrays using de novo designed pseudosymmetric protein building blocks. A homodimeric helical...
