Identification of Key Residues for Enzymatic Carboxylate Reduction
Carboxylate reductases (CARs, E.C. 1.2.1.30) generate aldehydes from their corresponding carboxylic acid with high selectivity. Little is known about the structure of CARs and their catalytically important amino acid residues.

ALDH2 mediates 5-nitrofuran activity in multiple species [PDF]
Understanding how drugs work in vivo is critical for drug design and for maximizing the potential of currently available drugs. 5-nitrofurans are a class of pro-drugs widely used to treat bacterial and trypanosome infections, but despite relative ...

Aldehyde-mediated inhibition of asparagine biosynthesis has implications for diabetes and alcoholism
Patients with alcoholism and type 2 diabetes manifest altered metabolism, including elevated aldehyde levels and unusually low asparagine levels. We show that asparagine synthetase B (ASNS), the only human asparagine-forming enzyme, is inhibited by ...

RuCl3·3H2O Catalyzed Reactions: Facile Synthesis of Bis(indolyl)methanes under Mild Conditions
RuCl3·3H2O was found to be an effective catalyst for reactions of indoles, 2-methylthiophene, and 2-methylfuran with aldehydes to afford the corresponding bis(indolyl)methanes, bis(thienyl)methanes, and bis(fur-2-yl)methanes in moderate to excellent ...

Chiral Aldehyde Catalysis Enables Direct Asymmetric Substitution Reaction of N-Unprotected Amino Acids with Halohydrocarbons [PDF]
The direct catalytic hydrocarbylation of readily available amino acids with halohydrocarbons is one of the most straightforward methods leading to disubstituted non-proteinogenic amino acid compounds.

A rapid, easy, and efficient method for synthesis of 4,4'-(arylmethylene)-bis-(1H-pyrazol-5-ols), catalyzed by boehmite nanoparticles [PDF]
An efficient and eco-friendly method is introduced for the synthesis of 4,4'-(arylmethylene)-bis-(1H-pyrazol-5-ols) by the condensation reaction of two equivalents of 5-methyl-2-phenyl-2,4-dihydro-3H-pyrazol-3-one with various aromatic aldehydes ...

Interaction of Amines with Ketone Aldehydes and Unsaturated Aldehydes [PDF]
The optical changes occurring during the interaction of amines with ketone aldehydes or unsaturated aldehydes are accompanied by strong electron spin resonance signals, and can thus be explained as due to the transfer of one whole electron in the ground state.
