Intensive efforts have been made to develop effectively chemotherapeutic agents against the human immunodeficiencv virus (HIV). [1] Nucleoside analogues are widelv used as antiviral agents in the treatments of AIDS and the AIDS related complex.[2]……
In this paper=5′-O-tosyl-2,3′-anhydrothymidine has been synthesized and its crystal structure was analyzed. The crystal belongs to the triclinic system=space group P1=with a=5.397(2)=b=6.1886(18)=c=3.507(5) =α =87.74(2)=β =89.84(4)=γ =73.79(2)°=C17H18N2O6S=Mr=378.39=Z=1=V=432.8(3)3=Dc=1.452 g/cm3=F(000)=198 and Flack =-0.11(14). No intermolecular hydrogen bonds exist in the crystal=and the angle between benzene ring and pyrimidine planes is 32.23°.
Dinucleotide (TpAZT) phosphoramidates were synthesized by Todd reaction of dinucleoside H-phosphonates and amino acid methyl esters, and their diastereomers (Rp and Sp) were separated by crystallization, and the results showed that natural and cheap methyl esters of alanine and phenylalanine can be used for large-scale synthesis of dinucleotide analogs.
The mononuclear macrocyclic polyamine metal complexes 5a-5e have been shown to form stable 1 : 1 complexes with bases and nucleosides. Their binding constants (K) were determined by UV-visible spectrometric titration. The results show that recognition ability of the complexes 5a--5e for uracil, U (Uridine), dT (Thymidine) is higher than that for the other bases or nucleosides (such as Cytidine, Guanosine, Adenosine). The metal ion also plays an important role for the recognition ability of complexes.
The mechanisms of molecular motors are still unresolved problems. Based on our experiments on amino acids, the activated process of molecular motors was analyzed and original software using the method of penta-coordinated phosphorous structure was designed. Via the software, the hotspots from different molecular motors′ phosphorous activated area were obtained. It was found that the types of hotspots discovered with above methods were highly conserved. This founding provides new perspectives to study the intrinsic relationship of motion in molecular motors and also helps understanding the evolution of molecular motors.
