The tetranuclear heterometallic complex CpMo$Os_3(CO)_{10}({\mu]-H)2[{\mu}3-{\eta}^2-C(O)CH_2Tol]\;(1,\;Cp={\eta}^5-C_5H_5,\;Tol=p-C_6H_4Me)$ has been examined by variable-temperature $^{13}$C-NMR spectroscopy and by a full three-dimensional X-ray structual analysis. Complex 1 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pna2$_1$ with a = 12.960(1) ${\AA}$, b = 11.255(l) ${\AA}$, c = 38.569(10)${\AA}$, V = 5626(2) ${\AA}^3$ and ${\rho}$(calcd) = 2.71 gcm$^{-3}$ for Z = 8 and molecular weight 1146.9. Diffraction data were collectedon a CAD4 diffractometer, and the structure was refined to $R_F$ = 9.7% and $R_{W^F}$ = 9.9% for 2530 data (MoK${\alpha}$ radiation). There are two essentially equivalent molecules in the crystallographic asymmetric unit. The tetranuclear molecule contains a triangulated rhomboidal arrangement of metal atoms with Os(2) and Mo at the two bridgehead positions. The metal framework is planar; the dihedral angle between Os(l)-Os(2)-Mo and Os(3)-Os(2)-Mo planes is 180$^{\circ}$. A triply bridging (${\mu}_3,\;{\eta}^2$) acyl ligand lies above the Os(l)-Os(2)-Mo plane; the oxygen atom spans the two bridgehead positions, while the carbon atom spans one bridgehead position and an acute apical position. The molecular architecture is completed by an ${\eta}^5$-cyclopentadienyl ligand and a semi-triply bridging carbonyl ligand on the molybdenum atom, and nine terminal carbonyl ligands-four on Os(3), three on Os(l), and two on Os(2). The two hydride ligands are inferred to occupy the Os(l)-Os(2) and Mo-Os(3) edges from structural and NMR data.

Quinolone-resistant Salmonella strains were isolated from patient samples, and several quinolone-sensitive strains were used to analyze mutations in the quinolone resistance-determining region (QRDR) of gyrA, gyrB, parC, and parE and to screen for plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance. Among the 21 strains that showed resistance to nalidixic acid and ciprofloxacin (MIC 0.125-2.0 μg/ml), 17 strains had a mutation in QRDR codon 87 of gyrA, and 3 strains had a single mutation (Ser83 → Phe). Another cause of resistance, efflux pump regulation, was studied by examining the expression of acrB, ramA, marA, and soxS. Five strains, including Sal-KH1 and Sal-KH2, showed no increase in relative expression in an analysis using the qRT-PCR method (p < 0.05). In order to determine the genes involved in the resistance, the Sal-9 isolate that showed decreased susceptibility and did not contain a mutation in the gyrA QRDR was used to make the STM (MIC 8 μg/ml) and STH (MIC 16 μg/ml) ciprofloxacin-resistant mutants. The gyrA QRDR Asp87 → Gly mutation was identified in both the STM and STH mutants by mutation analysis. qRT-PCR analysis of the efflux transporter acrB of the AcrAB-TolC efflux system showed increased expression levels in both the STM (1.79-fold) and STH (2.0-fold) mutants. In addition, the expression of the transcriptional regulator marA was increased in both the STM (6.35-fold) and STH (21.73-fold) mutants. Moreover, the expression of soxS was increased in the STM (3.41-fold) and STH (10.05-fold) mutants (p < 0.05). Therefore, these results indicate that AcrAB-TolC efflux pump activity and the target site mutation in gyrA are involved in quinolone resistance.

The reaction of $(CO_5$)M=C(OMe)Tol (M=Cr, Mo, W and $Tol=p-C_6H_4Me)$ and $BBr_3$ followed by treatment with tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA) yields a mixture of two diastereomers, trans, $cis-Br(CO)_2(tmeda)M{\equiv}$CTol [M=Cr(1a), Mo(2a), W(3a)] and cis, $trans-Br(CO)_2(tmeda)M{\equiv}$CTol [M=Cr(1b), Mo(2b), W(3b)], respectively. These compounds have been isolated as crystalline solids and characterized by spectroscopic (infrared, mass, $^1H$ and $^{13}C-NMR)$ data. The trans, cis-Br(CO)2(tmeda)Cr${\equiv}$CTol (1a), has been examine via a single crystal X-ray diffraction study : $BrCrO_2N_2C_{16}H_{23}$, Mr=407.27, triclinic, $P{\bar{1}},\;a=12.792(2),\;b=13.400(5),\;c= 11.645(4)\;{\AA},\;{\alpha}=101.26(2)^{\circ},\;{\beta}=103.04(2)^{\circ},\;{\gamma}=91.88(2)^{\circ},\;{\nu}=1907(1){\AA}^3,\;Z=2,\;{\rho}(calcd)=1.418\;gcm^{-3},\;{\lambda}(MoK{\alpha})=0.71069\;{\AA},\;{\mu}=26.25 cm^{-1},\;F(000)=831.97,\;T=295K,\;R=0.0977$ for 1332 significant reflections $[F_0>5{\sigma}(F_0)]$. There are two essentially equivalent molecules in the crystallographic asymmetric unit.

HI0381 of Haemophilus influenzae was investigated by circular dichroism (CD) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. HI0381 is a 153-residue peptidoglycan-associated outer membrane lipoprotein, and a part of the larger Tol/Pal network. Here, we report its backbone $^1H$, $^{15}N$, and $^{13}C$ resonance assignments, and secondary structure predictions. About 97% of all of the $^1HN$, $^{15}N$, $^{13}CO$, $^{13}C{\alpha}$, and $^{13}C{\beta}$ resonances covering 131 non-proline residues of the 134 residue, mature protein, were clarified by sequential and specific assignments. CSI and TALOS analyses revealed that HI0381 contains five ${\alpha}$-helices and five ${\beta}$-strands. To characterize the structure of HI0381, the effects of pH and salt concentration were investigated by CD. In addition, the structural changes occurring when HI0381 was in a membranous environment were investigated by comparing its HSQC spectra and CD data in buffer and in DPC micelles; the results showed that helix ${\alpha}4$ and strand ${\beta}4$ became aligned with the membrane. We conclude that the conformation of HI0381 is affected by the membrane environment, implying that its folded state is directly related to its function.

Vibrio vulnificus is an opportunistic pathogen that causes septicemia in humans. To identify the genes associated with its pathogenicity, in vivo expression technology (IVET) was used to select genes specifically expressed in a host, yet not significantly in vitro. Random lacZ-fusions in the genome of V vulnificus strain MO6-24/O were constructed using an IVET vector, pSG3, which is a suicide vector containing promoterless-aph and -lacZ as reporter genes. A total of ${\sim}18,000$ resulting library clones were then intraperitoneally injected into BALB/c mice using a colony forming unit (CFU) of $1.6{\times}10^6$. Two hours after infection, kanamycin was administered at $200{mu}g$ per gram of mouse weight. After two selection cycles, 11 genes were eventually isolated, which were expressed only in the host. Among these genes, VV20781 and VV21007 exhibiting a homology to a hemagglutinin gene and tolC, respectively, were selected based on having the highest frequency. When compared to wild-type cells, mutants with lesions in these genes showed no difference in the rate of growth rate, yet a significant decrease in cytotoxicity and the capability to form a biofilm.

Pd(II) p-tolylamide Pd(2,6-$(Ph_2PCH_2)_2C_6H_3$)(NH($C_6H_4Me$-p)) (1) was metathetically prepared by the reaction of Pd(2,6-$(Ph_2PCH_2)_2C_6H_3$)Cl with NaNH($C_6H_4Me$-p). Treatment of 1 with carbon dioxide affords the palladium(II) carbamate Pd(2,6-$(Ph_2PCH_2)_2C_6H_3$)(OC(O)NH($C_6H_4Me$-p)) (2), quantitatively. Complex 2 reacts with HX (X = Cl, OTf) to give Pd(2,6-$(Ph_2PCH_2)_2C_6H_3$)X, $NH_2$(p-Tol) and $CO_2$. Reaction of the palladium(II) carbamate with MeI produced Pd(2,6-$(Ph_2PCH_2)_2C_6H_3$)I along with generation of methyl N-tolylcarbamate MeOC(O)NH($C_6H_4Me$-p), exclusively.

폐발포폴리스티렌(WEPS)의 열분해 반응시 부생되는 약 5~15%의 난분해성 스티렌 이량체 유분(SDF, 주성분: 47 wt% 1,3-diphenylpropane)의 열분해방법에 대하여 검토하였다. 가압열분해반응에서는 반응온도 $360^{\circ}C$에서 152~202 kPa이 최적의 조건으로 판단되었다. 이 반응조건에서 오일 수율 73.8%와 벤젠 0.4%, 톨루엔 30.9%, 에틸벤젠 15.0%, 스티렌 19.6%, 알파메틸스티렌 4.2%의 선택율로 얻을 수 있었다. 상압연속 열분해반응에서는 반응온도 $510{\sim}610^{\circ}C$, 접촉시간 2~24 min의 무촉매 반응에 대하여서는 온도와 접촉시간이 증가할수록 상기 생성물의 수율이 증가하였고 촉매 반응에 대하여서는 산촉매, 염기성촉매 및 산화환원촉매의 활성에 대하여 검토한 결과 $Cr_2O_3$ 촉매가 가장 높은 활성을 보여주었다. $Cr_2O_3$ 촉매를 사용하여 $560^{\circ}C$, 접촉시간 24 min의 조건에서 전환율 74.6%와 벤젠 0.4%, 톨루엔 21.6%, 에틸벤젠 9.7%, 스티렌 17.9%, 알파메틸스티렌 3.5%의 수율을 각각 얻을 수 있었다. 이때의 반응 메커니즘은 스티렌이 열에 의해 diradical을 경유하여 에틸벤젠이나 다른 부생성물을 생성시키는 것으로 추측된다.
