Query generation to search for inhibitors of enzymatic reactions

A method for the generation of intermediates of enzyme-catalyzed reactions is presented. These intermediates can be used as three-dimensional structural queries for searching for inhibitors of enzymatic reactions. The intermediates can be considered as being structurally quite close to transition-state analogues. For this application, a database containing detailed chemical information on metabolic reactions is used. The likely three-dimensional structure of the intermediates of enzyme-catalyzed reactions can be generated from the information in the database. For three reactions catalyzed by the enzymes AMP deaminase (EC code 3.5.4.6), triose phosphate isomerase (EC code 5.3.1.1), and arginase II (EC code 3.5.3.1), we show how a 3D model of these intermediates can be superimposed onto known inhibitors of these enzymes by a program that uses a genetic algorithm. For this, we test different methods for the superimposition using information on the enzymatic binding site, using information on physicochemical properties calculated from the molecular structure, or without having any information in the superimposition process. We show that these inhibitors are most similar to the corresponding intermediates regarding the 3D structure.     

SANIST: optimization of a technology for compound identification based on the European Union directive with applications in forensic,pharmaceutical and food analyses

Electrospray Ionization and collision induced dissociation tandem mass spectrometry are usually employed to obtain compound identification through a mass spectra match. Different algorithms have been developed for this purpose (for example the nist match algorithm). These approaches compare the tandem mass spectra of the unknown analyte with the tandem mass spectra spectra of known compounds inserted in a database. The compounds are usually identified on the basis of spectral match value associated with a probability of recognition. However, this approach is not usually applied to multiple reaction monitoring transition spectra achieved by means of triple quadrupole apparatus, mainly due to the lack of a transition spectra database. The Surface Activated Chemical Ionization‐Electrospray‐NIST Bayesian model database search (SANIST) platform has been recently developed for new potential metabolite biomarker discovery, to confirm their identity and to use them for clinical and diagnostic applications. Here, we present an improved version of the SANIST platform that extends its application to forensic, pharmaceutical, and food analysis studies, where the compound identification rules are strict. The European Union (EU) has set directives for compound identification (EU directive 2002/657/EC). We have applied the SANIST method to identification of 11‐nor‐9‐carboxytetrahydro‐cannabinol in urine samples (an example of a forensic application), circulating levels of the immunosuppressive drug tacrolimus in blood (an example of a pharmaceutical application) and glyphosate in fruit juice (an example of a food analysis application) that meet the EU directive requirements.

Synthesis and determination of dicarboxylic degradation products of nonylphenol polyethoxylates by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry

The synthesis and determination of persistent dicarboxylic metabolites of alkylphenol polyethoxylates (NPEOs), carboxyalkyl phenoxy ethoxy carboxylates (CAPECs), are investigated. The synthesized CAPECs have three and four carbon atoms and a carboxyl group in the alkyl chain side, and a carboxymethoxy acid group in its para-position (expressed as CA(3)P1EC and CA(4)P1EC in their abbreviation). The synthesis was successfully accomplished via a four-step reaction sequence that started from 4-fluoroanisole. After propylation by a propanol/acetyl chloride procedure, the derivatives of synthesized CA(3)P1EC and CA(4)P1EC were separated and identified by GC-MS with electron impact ionization (EI). The most abundant characteristic ions were produced by benzylic cleavages of carboxyalkyl chain to yield [M-87](+), corresponding to ions of m/z 235 for CA(3)P1EC and m/z 249 for CA(4)P1EC. Recoveries of synthesized CA(3)P1EC and CA(4)P1EC in various spiked water samples ranged from 82 to 92% with relative standard deviations (RSD) lesser than 7%. The limits of quantitation (LOQ) of CA(3)P1EC and CA(4)P1EC were estimated to be 0.005 and 0.01 microg/l in 100ml of water samples, respectively. The concentrations of CA(4)P1EC residues were detected in the aquatic environment ranging from n.d. to 3.24 microg/l. The results show that the synthesized CA(4)P1EC has been successfully applied to more accurately determine the concentrations of CA(4)P1EC residues in water samples.     

Theoretical studies to understand surface chemistry on carbon anodes for lithium-ion batteries: how does vinylene carbonate play its role as an electrolyte additive?

To elucidate the role of vinylene carbonate (VC) as a solvent additive in organic polar solutions for lithium-ion batteries, reductive decompositions for vinylene carbonate (VC) and ethylene carbonate (EC) molecules have been comprehensively investigated both in the gas phase and in solution by means of density functional theory calculations. The salt and solvent effects are incorporated with the clusters (EC)nLi+(VC) (n = 0-3), and further corrections that account for bulk solvent effects are added using the polarized continuum model (PCM). The electron affinities of (EC)nLi+(VC) (n = 0-3) monotonically decrease when the number of EC molecules increases; a sharp decrease of about 20.0 kcal/mol is found from n = 0 to 1 and a more gentle variation for n > 1. For (EC)nLi+(VC) (n = 1-3), the reduction of VC brings about more stable ion-pair intermediates than those due to reduction of the EC molecule by 3.1, 6.1, and 5.3 kcal/mol, respectively. This finding qualitatively agrees with the experimental fact that the reduction potential of VC in the presence of Li salt is more negative than that of EC. The calculated reduction potentials corresponding to radical anion formation are close to the experimental potentials determined with cyclic voltammetry on a gold electrode surface (-2.67, -3.19 eV on the physical scale for VC and EC respectively vs experimental values -2.96 and -2.94 eV). Regarding the decomposition mechanisms, the VC and EC moieties undergo homolytic ring opening from their respective reduction intermediates, and the energy barrier of VC is about one time higher than that of EC (e.g., 20.1 vs 8.8 kcal/mol for (EC)2Li+(VC)); both are weakly affected by the explicit solvent molecules and by a bulk solvent represented by a continuum model. Alternatively, starting from the VC-reduction intermediate, the ring opening of the EC moiety via an intramolecular electron-transfer transition state has also been located; its barrier lies between those of EC and VC (e.g., 17.2 kcal/mol for (EC)2Li+(VC)). On the basis of these results, we suggest the following explanation about the role that VC may play as additive in EC-based lithium-ion battery electrolytes; VC is initially reduced to a more stable intermediate than that from EC reduction. One possibility then is that the reduced VC decomposes to form a radical anion via a barrier of about 20 kcal/mol, which undergoes a series of reactions to give rise to more active film-forming products than those resulting from EC reduction, such as lithium divinylene dicarbonate, Li-C carbides, lithium vinylene dicarbonate, R-O-Li compound, and even oligomers with repeated vinylene and carbonate-vinylene units. Another possibility starting from the VC-reduction intermediate is that the ring opening occurs on the unreduced EC moiety instead of being on the reduced VC, via an intramolecular electron transfer transition state, the energy barrier of which is lower than that of the former, in which VC just helps the intermediate formation and is not consumed. The factors that determine the additive functioning mechanism are briefly discussed, and consequently a general rule for the selection of electrolyte additive is proposed.     

Oxidation induced decomposition of ethylene carbonate from DFT calculations - importance of explicitly treating surrounding solvent

The oxidation induced reactions of the common lithium battery electrolyte solvent ethylene carbonate (EC) have been investigated for EC(2) using density functional theory and for selected reaction paths using M?ller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP4). The importance of explicitly treating at least one solvent molecule interacting with EC during oxidation (removal of an electron) on the EC oxidation potential and decomposition reactions was shown by comparing oxidation of EC and EC(2). Accuracy of DFT results was evaluated by comparing with MP4 and G4 values for oxidation of EC. The polarized continuum model (PCM) was used to implicitly include the rest of the surrounding solvent. The oxidation potentials of EC(2) and EC(4) were found to be significantly lower than the intrinsic oxidation potential of an isolated EC and also lower than the oxidation potential of EC-BF(4)(-). The exothermic proton abstraction from the ethylene group of EC by the carbonyl group of another EC was responsible for the decreased oxidative stability of EC(2) and EC(4) compared to EC. The most exothermic path with the smallest barrier for EC(2) oxidation yielded CO(2) and an ethanol radical cation. The reaction paths with the higher barrier yielded oligo(ethylene carbonate) suggesting a pathway for the experimentally observed poly(ethylene carbonate) formation of EC-based electrolytes at cathode surfaces.     

Determination of molecular mass, Stokes' radius, frictional coefficient and isomer-type of non-denatured proteins by time-dependent pore gradient gel electrophoresis

Molecular mass, Stoke's radius, frictional coefficient and isomer-type of non-denatured proteins can be obtained by time-dependent gradient gel electrophoresis by evaluating the resulting data using a two-step mathematical procedure. Provided a histochemical staining procedure is available to locate the position of an enzyme in the gel, crude cell extracts can be used for estimating their molecular size properties. The computation of molecular properties of non-denatured proteins is demonstrated for isozymes of aspartate aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.1), peroxidase (EC 1.11.1.42) and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.49) from current-year needles of spruce. The resulting data as well as those which were calculated for esterase (EC 3.1.1.1), glutamate dehydrogenase (EC 1.4.1.4), isocitrate dehydrogenase (EC 1.4.1.42), and shikimate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.25) are in accordance with those reported in the literature. The method described may be applied to various scientific areas such as genetics or environmental pollution. It could be shown here that current-year needles of injured spruce (damage class 3) contained two more peroxidase isozymes and one more glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase isozyme than those from non-injured trees. These differences may mark two genotypes of spruce of different susceptibilities towards present-day air and soil pollutants.
