Identification of the protonation and oxidation states of the oxygen-evolving complex in the low-dose X-ray crystal structure of photosystem II

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2023
In photosystem II (PSII), the O3 and O4 sites of the Mn4CaO5 cluster form hydrogen bonds with D1-His337 and a water molecule (W539), respectively. The low-dose X-ray structure shows that these hydrogen bond distances differ between the two homogeneous ...

Structural insights into lacto‐N‐biose I recognition by a family 32 carbohydrate‐binding module from Bifidobacterium bifidum

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Bifidobacterium bifidum establishes symbiosis with infants by metabolizing lacto‐N‐biose I (LNB) from human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs). The extracellular multidomain enzyme LnbB drives this process, releasing LNB via its catalytic glycoside hydrolase family 20 (GH20) lacto‐N‐biosidase domain.

On the Hydrogen Bond Strength and Vibrational Spectroscopy of Liquid Water

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2018
In the present work, we introduce two new metrics i.e. hydrogen-bond strength and charge-transfer between the donor/acceptor water molecules as a measure of hydrogen-bond rearrangement dynamics. Further, we also employ a simple model based on energy flux

Peptide‐based ligand antagonists block a Vibrio cholerae adhesin

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The structure of a peptide‐binding domain of the Vibrio cholerae adhesin FrhA was solved by X‐ray crystallography, revealing how the inhibitory peptide AGYTD binds tightly at its Ca2+‐coordinated pocket. Structure‐guided design incorporating D‐amino acids enhanced binding affinity, providing a foundation for developing anti‐adhesion therapeutics ...

2-[(4-Methylbenzoyl)hydrazono]propionic acid monohydrate

open access: yesActa Crystallographica Section E, 2009
In the title compound, C11H12N2O3·H2O, the water molecule is a hydrogen-bond donor to the double-bond amide and the carbonyl O atoms of two acid molecules; it is also a hydrogen-bond acceptor to the acid –OH and amide –NH– groups ...

Regulation of protein-ligand binding affinity by hydrogen bond pairing

open access: yesScience Advances, 2016
Receptor-ligand H-bond pairings have evolved to promote high-affinity binding by reducing competitive interference with water. Hydrogen (H)-bonds potentiate diverse cellular functions by facilitating molecular interactions.

Substrate specificity of Burkholderia pseudomallei multidrug transporters is influenced by the hydrophilic patch in the substrate‐binding pocket

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Multidrug transporters BpeB and BpeF from the Gram‐negative pathogen Burkholderia pseudomallei have a hydrophilic patch in their substrate‐binding pocket. Drug susceptibility tests and growth curve analyses using an Escherichia coli recombinant expression system revealed that the hydrophilic patches of BpeB and BpeF are involved in the substrate ...

Methyl 2-amino-4,5-dimethoxybenzoate

open access: yesActa Crystallographica Section E, 2013
The title compound, C10H13NO4, is essentially planar, with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.049 Å. An intramolecular C—H...O hydrogen bond occurs and the amino group forms an intramolecular N—H...Oester hydrogen bond; the other H atom ...

An upstream open reading frame regulates expression of the mitochondrial protein Slm35 and mitophagy flux

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals how the mitochondrial protein Slm35 is regulated in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The authors identify stress‐responsive DNA elements and two upstream open reading frames (uORFs) in the 5′ untranslated region of SLM35. One uORF restricts translation, and its mutation increases Slm35 protein levels and mitophagy.

Triol-promoted activation of C–F bonds: Amination of benzylic fluorides under highly concentrated conditions mediated by 1,1,1-tris(hydroxymethyl)propane

open access: yesBeilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2013
Activation of the C–F bond of benzylic fluorides was achieved using 1,1,1-tris(hydroxymethyl)propane (2) as a hydrogen bond-donating agent. Investigations demonstrated that hydrogen bond-donating solvents are promoting the activation and hydrogen bond ...
