A ligand,(N,N′-dibenzylethane-1,2-diamine)(L),and its complex with copper acetate was synthesized and characterized by some spectral analyses.The copper ! ion is six-coordinated and exhibites octahedral coordination geometry,the coordination atoms are four nitrogen atoms from two(L) ligands and two carboxyl oxygen atoms from two acetic acid groups,respectively.After studying the interaction of the complex with calf thymus DNA through UV and fluorescence spectra,we can find that there is a strong binding and a large affinity berween the complex and calf thymus DNA.CCDC: 649416.
The presence of several high affinity binding sites on human serum albumin (HSA) makes it a possible target for many drugs. This study is designed to examine the effect of aloe-emodin on HSA by fluo-rescence, CD spectroscopy and molecular modeling. The results of fluorescence measurements sug-gested that the hydrophobic interaction was the predominant intermolecular force stabilizing the AE-HSA complex, which was in good agreement with the result of molecular modeling study. And the enthalpy change ΔH0 and the entropy change ΔS0 were calculated to be -7.041 kJ·mol-1 and 76.619 J·mol-1·K-1 according to the Van't Hoff equation. The alterations of protein secondary structure in the presence of AE in aqueous solution were quantitatively calculated from CD spectra, and the content of α-helices obviously increased.
The compound reacts with 2-(Methylthio)thiophene (C5H6S2) while refluxing in xylene to afford a methylthio-tetramanganese product 4, in which C5H6S2 is cleaved with loss of thiophene. The crystal structure of 4 has been studied by direct method. Based on the 21 685 unique reflections collected using MoKα of X-ray radiation and a CCD-based detector, it is refined to an agreement index (R1) of 0.079 0. The cell is triclinic with dimensions: a=1.719 49 nm, b=1.959 2 nm, c=2.632 6 nm and α=79.733°, β=71.407°, γ=89.387°. There are 12 unit cells of 4 in the cell, with space group P1.
