  • The efficient asymmetric hydrosilylation of imines in the presence of polymethylhydrosiloxane has been investigated by screening chiral diamine-zinc complexes. A series of chiral diamine ligands were prepared from optically pure 1,2-diphenyl-1,2-ethanediamine and screened for effectiveness. N-Benzylic substituents were required for high enantioselectivity; ligands with bulky groups or extra coordinating groups such as OH and S lowered the catalytic activity. The level of asymmetric induction was usually in >90% ee range for aromatic imine substrates. A linear correlation between the ee of the ligand and that of the product was observed, indicating the presence of a 1:1 ratio of ligand to metal coordination in the active catalytic complex.

  • Homologated analogues 3a and 3b of potent and selective A3 adenosine receptor ligands, IB-MECA and dimethyl-IB-MECA were synthesized from commercially available 1-O-acetyl-2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-${\beta}$-D-ribofuranose (4) via $Co_2(CO)_8$-catalyzed siloxymethylation as a key step. Unfortunately, homologated analogues 3a and 3b did not show significant binding affinities at three subtypes of adenosine receptors, indicating that free rotation, resulting from homologation, induced unfavorable interactions in the binding site of the receptor maybe due to the presence of many conformations.

  • Under hydrothermal conditions, a 2-dimensional copper(I) coordination polymer [$Cu_2Cl_2$(4,4'-dipyen)] (1) was prepared from [$Cu(OAc)_2]{\cdot}H_2O$, 4,4'-dipyen, and KCl. In polymer 1, copper atoms are linked by the 4,4'-dipyen ligands approximately along the b-axis and are also linked by the chloro ligands approximately along the a-axis to form a 2-D layer, a network of rectangles.

  • Development of molecular and supramolecular systems showing efficient photoinduced energy or electron transfer are of current research interest due to their applications in various chemical and biological processes. Various polypyridine metal complexes including Ru(II), Ru(III), Os(II), Pt(II), Fe(II), Re(I), Ir(III) and so on as a metal center introduce for expanding some more understanding of molecular-scale photoelectronics. Their complexes are concisely classified by the types of relay ligands as follows; (a) metal-direct ligand-metal system; dinuclear or trinuclear systems, (b) metal-nonconjugated ligand-metal system and metal-nonconjugated ligand system having flexible/rigid ligand, (c) metal-conjugated ligand-metal system, and (d) conjugated ligand-metal-conjugated ligand system and metal-self assembly ligand-metal system. It is pointed out that the role played by the relay ligands is important in constructing the metal complexes.

  • This study was trying to find what physical changes occurred to albumin when it reacted with estrogen and other ligands. Each concentration of human serum albumin with 100$\mu$l estradiol reacted at the highest binding capacity of 280nm. In addition, 1 hr of reaction time showed the highest binding rate. Conformational changes in human serum albumin with dietylstillbesterol and N-ethyl-maleimide produced strong binding capacities. The changes were immediate and they did not increase or decrease over time. Effects of human serum albumin with estriol induced no interaction each other. The binding capacity of human serum albumin with vitamin D$_2$was lower than estradiol. and the highest binding rate showed 1 hr of reaction time. Vitamin D$_2$ was very similar to the binding capacity of estradiol.

  • In this study, nuclease-resistant RNA aptamers that are specific for Jurkat T leukemia cells were selected by a subtractive systemic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX) method. A randomized nuclease-resistant RNA library was incubated with normal peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) in each round to preclude RNAs that recognize the common cellular components on the surface of normal and cancer cells. The precluded RNAs were used for the selection of Jurkat T cell-specific aptamers, and the specific RNAs were then gradually enriched from start to the following selections. After 16 rounds of the subtractive SELEX, the selected aptamers were found to preferentially bind to Jurkat T cells, but not to the normal PBMC, evidenced by fluorescence-activated cell sorting analysis. Thus, the subtractive SELEX can be used to identify ligands to cancer-specific biological markers without prior knowledge of the nature of markers. The aptamers could be applied to specific cell sorting, tumor therapy, and diagnosis, and moreover, to find cancer cell-specific markers.
