Ab initio calculations were carried out on the gas phase acid-catalyzed hydrolysis reactions of sulfinamide using the 3-21G* basis sets. Single point calculations were also performed at the MP2/6-31G* level. The first step in the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of N-methylmethanesulfinamide, Ⅰ, involves protonation. The most favorable form is the O-protonated one, Ⅱ, which is then transformed into a sulfurane intermediate, Ⅲ, by addition of a water molecule. The reaction proceeds further by an intramolecular proton transfer from O to N (TS2), which is followed by N-S bond cleavage (TS3) leading to the final products. The rate determining step is the N-S bond cleavage (TS3) at the RHF/3-21G* level, whereas it becomes indeterminable at the MP2/6-31G*//3-21G* level of theory. However, the substituent effect studies with N-protonated N-arylmethanesulfinamide, ⅩⅢ, at the MP2/6-31G*//3-21G* level support the N-S bond breaking step as rate limiting.

The chemisorption of CO molecules on polycrystalline nickel surface has been studied by investigating the resulting chemisorbed species with the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy at temperatures between 300K through 433K. It is found that the adsorbed CO molecules are dissociated by the simple C-O bond cleavage as well as by the disproportionation reaction at temperatures above 373K. The former type dissociation is more favored at low coverages and at elevated temperatures. The isotherms of CO chemisorption are obtained from the xps intensities of C 1s peaks, and then the activation energy of the dissociative adsorption is estimated as a function of the CO exposure. These activation energies are extrapolated to zero coverage to obtain the activation energy of chemisorption in which thermal C-O bond cleavage takes place. The value obtained is 38.1 kJ/mol.

The purpose of this paper is to introduce the simplified linkage position determination method using tandem mass spectrometry combined with molecular modeling study. Using low energy tandem mass spectrometric experiments and molecular modeling, it has been suggested that significant differences in glycosidic bond cleavage may occur due not only to ionic considerations but also may have contributions from steric hindrance of the absorbance of collision energy, leading to a statistically higher bond cleavage for sterically crowded linkages. Permethylated derivatives of the linkage-isomeric trisaccharides give useful fragmentation ratios and productions, including a 3-linkage specific ion. The ratios of fragment ions are related to the ability of each linkage position in the oligosaccharide to absorb collisional energy.

Vitamin K-related analogs induce growth inhibition in various cancer cell lines. We report that 2,3-dichloro-5,8-dihydroxy-1, 4-naphthoquinone (DDN), a naphthoquinone analog, induces mitochondria-dependent apoptosis in human promyeloid leukemic HL-60 cells. DDN induced cytochrome c release, cleavage of Bid, and activation of caspases -8, -9 and -3. Cleavage of Bid, the caspase-8 substrate, was inhibited by the broad caspase inhibitor zVAD-fmk, whereas cytochrome c release was not affected by zVAD-fmk. (omitted)

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a multifactorial, heterogeneous disease characterized by persistent inflammation of the sinonasal mucosa and tissue remodeling, which can include basal/progenitor cell hyperplasia, goblet cell hyperplasia, squamous cell metaplasia, loss or dysfunction of ciliated cells, and increased matrix deposition. Repeated injuries can stimulate airway epithelial cells to produce inflammatory mediators that activate epithelial cells, immune cells, or the epithelial-mesenchymal trophic unit. This persistent inflammation can consequently induce aberrant tissue remodeling. However, the molecular mechanisms driving disease within the different molecular CRS subtypes remain inadequately characterized. Numerous secreted and cell surface proteins relevant to airway inflammation and remodeling are initially synthesized as inactive precursor proteins, including growth/differentiation factors and their associated receptors, enzymes, adhesion molecules, neuropeptides, and peptide hormones. Therefore, these precursor proteins require post-translational cleavage by proprotein convertases (PCs) to become fully functional. In this review, we summarize the roles of PCs in CRS-associated tissue remodeling and discuss the therapeutic potential of targeting PCs for CRS treatment.

On nitrobenzene oxidation of aspen, spruce, and knauf wood meals gave rise to vanilline, syrigaldehyde, p-hydroxybenzoaldehyde, vanillic acid, and other minor oxidation products. The phenolic aldehydes (p-hydroxybenzaldehyde, vanilline, and syringaldehyde) are derived from oxidative degradation of the corresponding 4-hydroxyphenylpropane units and their ethers. The lignin content of knauf wood meals was different as the concentration of NaOH solution and cooking temperature. The lignin contents of aspen, spruce, and knauf wood meals were decreased as laccase treatment. The laccase caused C-oxidation, demethylation, cleavage in phenolic groups and C-C cleavage in syrigyl structures.

This study compares the efficiency of weak acid hydrolysis (WAH) using formic acid (FA) and hydrochloric acid (HCl) in the analysis of myoglobin peptides. WAH using 2% and 5% formic acid resulted in the identification of 32 peptides, with varying degrees of cleavage at the C-terminus of aspartic acid residues. HCl WAH with different concentrations demonstrated an increase in the total number of identified peptides but a decrease in fully cleaved peptides as the HCl concentration increased. Notably, deamidation was observed during HCl WAH but not in FA WAH. The addition of HCl WAH after FA WAH provided a similar pattern to HCl WAH, with slightly higher levels of hydrolysis. These findings highlight distinct cleavage patterns and deamidation effects between FA and HCl in the context of WAH.
