Cross-bridge Cycle01:26

Cross-bridge Cycle

124.7K
As muscle contracts, the overlap between the thin and thick filaments increases, decreasing the length of the sarcomere—the contractile unit of the muscle—using energy in the form of ATP. At the molecular level, this is a cyclic, multistep process that involves binding and hydrolysis of ATP, and movement of actin by myosin.

Cooperative Allosteric Transitions

9.4K
Cooperative allosteric transitions can occur in multimeric proteins, where each subunit of the protein has its own ligand-binding site. When a ligand binds to any of these subunits, it triggers a conformational change that affects the binding sites in the other subunits; this can change the affinity of the other sites for their respective ligands. The ability of the protein to change the shape of its binding site is attributed to the presence of a mix of flexible and stable segments in the...

Microbes and Other Elemental Cycles

Microbial activity plays a pivotal role in the biogeochemical cycling of iron and manganese, especially at the redox gradients characteristic of stratified aquatic environments. These cycles are driven by microbial transformations between oxidized and reduced forms of the metals, allowing organisms to exploit them for metabolic energy and structural purposes.Iron Cycling Across Redox GradientsIn neutral, oxygen-rich surface waters, iron is predominantly found in its oxidized, insoluble ferric...

Metal-Ligand Bonds02:51

Metal-Ligand Bonds

25.5K
The hemoglobin in the blood, the chlorophyll in green plants, vitamin B-12, and the catalyst used in the manufacture of polyethylene all contain coordination compounds. Ions of the metals, especially the transition metals, are likely to form complexes.
In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...

Area of Science:

  • Supramolecular Chemistry
  • Nanotechnology
  • Coordination Chemistry

Background:

  • Reversible metal-ligand bonds enable supramolecular nanoarchitecture synthesis.
  • Kinetic instability due to bond dissociation limits stability, especially in dilute conditions or with competing agents.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize a kinetically stabilized metallomacrocycle.
  • To overcome the limitations of reversible metal-ligand bond-based self-assembly.

Main Methods:

  • One-pot synthesis combining metal-mediated self-assembly and oxidative "locking" of coordination bonds.
  • Utilized cobalt (Co) ions and bis-bidentate ligands (L2-).
  • Characterization using X-ray crystallography.

Main Results:

  • A kinetically locked 4:4 cobalt metallomacrocycle with four-fold rotational symmetry was successfully synthesized.
  • The metallomacrocycle demonstrated high stability, resisting dissociation even with excess competitive ligands.
  • X-ray crystallography revealed a columnar assembly forming one-dimensional nanochannels.

Conclusions:

  • Oxidative locking of metal-ligand bonds provides kinetic stabilization for supramolecular architectures.
  • The synthesized metallomacrocycle exhibits exceptional stability and forms ordered nanochannels.
  • This method offers a pathway to robust and stable supramolecular nanoarchitectures.
