Theoretical Investigation On The Addition Reaction Of The Germylenoid H2gelicl With Acetone, Xiaolin Zhang, Bingfei Yan, Wenzuo Li

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

In this work, theoretical calculations were performed on the addition reaction of the germylenoid H2GeLiCl with acetone. The DFT M06-2X method was used to optimize the geometries of the whole stationary points on the potential energy surfaces and the QCISD method to calculate the single-point energy. The results reveal that the addition reaction of H2GeLiCl with acetone firstly generates an oxagermacyclopropane c-H2GeOC(CH3)2 and then c-H2GeOC(CH3)2 further reacts with acetone along two possible pathways, pathway I and pathway II, in which the 2,4-dioxagermolane is formed at the end of pathway I and 2,5-dioxagermolane is formed at the end of pathway II, …

Preparation Of Ethyl Levulinate From Wheat Stalk Over Zr(So4)2/Sio2, Ding-Kai Wang, Wei Zhao, Ming-Yu Cui, Tian-Tian Guo, Shui-Yuan Fu, Wei-Gang Li Jan 2021

Preparation Of Ethyl Levulinate From Wheat Stalk Over Zr(So4)2/Sio2, Ding-Kai Wang, Wei Zhao, Ming-Yu Cui, Tian-Tian Guo, Shui-Yuan Fu, Wei-Gang Li

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

A series of Zr(SO4)2/SiO2 solid acid catalysts with different Zr(SO4)2 loadings were prepared by water-soluble-impregnation method at room temperature. Then, the prepared catalysts were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectrum, X-ray diffraction, adsorption/desorption of N2, and temperature-programmed desorption of NH3. The results showed that the active component Zr(SO4)2 was successfully adhered to the mesoporous SiO2, and the acid amount of Zr(SO4)2/SiO2 increased with the increasing of the Zr(SO4)2 loadings. Finally, the wheat stalk was used as raw material and depolymerized over Zr(SO4)2/SiO2 to produce ethyl levulinate (EL). The reaction mixture was separated and …

Structural Rearrangement Of Neisseria Meningitidis Transferrin Binding Protein A (Tbpa) Prior To Human Transferrin Protein (Htf) Binding, Gi̇zem Nur Duran, Mehmet Özbi̇l Jan 2021

Structural Rearrangement Of Neisseria Meningitidis Transferrin Binding Protein A (Tbpa) Prior To Human Transferrin Protein (Htf) Binding, Gi̇zem Nur Duran, Mehmet Özbi̇l

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Gram-negative bacterium Neisseria meningitidis, responsible for human infectious disease meningitis, acquires the iron (Fe3+) ion needed for its survival from human transferrin protein (hTf). For this transport, transferrin binding proteins TbpA and TbpB are facilitated by the bacterium. The transfer cannot occur without TbpA, while the absence of TbpB only slows down the transfer. Thus, understanding the TbpA-hTf binding at the atomic level is crucial for the fight against bacterial meningitis infections. In this study, atomistic level of mechanism for TbpA-hTf binding is elucidated through 100 ns long all-atom classical MD simulations on free (uncomplexed) TbpA. TbpA protein underwent conformational …
