  • A 6', 8a-bonded catechin dimer was synthesized by action of phenoloxidase on 2mol (+)-catechins. The same dimer and other two dimers which are also 6', 8a-bonded were isolated from the fresh cortex of Quercus robur. The 4, 8a-bonded and the etherified 4, 8a-bonded dimers were isolated from it. It was discussed about the meaning of the enzymatically produced 6', 8a-bonded dimers in plant cell. The isolated dimers are as following: 1. 6', 8a-bonded dimers: (+)-catechin-(+)-catechin-6', 8a-dimer(IX), (+)-catechin-(+)-gallocatechin-6', 8a-dimar (XIII), (+)-gallocatechin-(+)-catechin-6', 8a-dimer(XIV). 2. 4, 8a-bonded dimers: (+)-catechin-(+)-catechin-4, 8a-dimer(X), (-)-epicatechin-(+)-catechin-4, 8a-dimer (XI), (+) -galloatechin-(+)-catechin-4, 8a-dimer (XII). 3. 4,8a-bonded dimers with ether linkage: etherified(+)-catechin-(+)-catechin-4, 8a-dimer (XV), etherifid (+)-catechin-(+)-gallocatechin-4, 8a-dimer (XVI), etherified (+)-gallocatechin-(+)-catechin-4, 6a-dimer (XVII).

  • We have performed DFT calculations to devise some possible fullerene dimers (from $C_{60}$ and $C_{80}$) connected through $C_{24}$ and $C_{36}$ bridge cages with the face-to-face linking model. The fullerene dimers with $C_{36}$ bridges have lower binding energies and greater HOMO-LUMO gaps than those of the fullerene dimers with $C_{24}$ bridges. Also, the replacement of $C_{60}$ cages with $C_{80}$ ones always leads to an increase in binding energies and HOMO-LUMO gaps in these systems. Dimerization of $C_{60}$ and $C_{80}$ fullerenes with $C_{24}$ and $C_{36}$ results in a significant decrease in antiaromaticity of the antiaromatic cages $C_{24}$ and $C_{80}$, and an increase in the aromaticity of the aromatic cages $C_{36}$ and $C_{60}$. Therefore, DFT results indicate that those fullerene dimers involving the initially harshly antiaromatic $C_{24}$ or $C_{80}$ cages are more energetically favorable configuration than the fullerene dimers involving the aromatic $C_{36}$ and $C_{60}$ cages.

  • Oxindole dimers have been used as intermediates in the synthesis of various cyclotryptamine alkaloids. An efficient direct synthesis of oxindole dimers has been carried out from 3-substituted oxindoles via an oxidative dimerization using manganese(III) acetate or copper acetate/silver acetate system.

  • Medicinal fungi, Phellinus linteus and Inonotus xeranticus, produce a cluster of yellow pigment in their fermentation broth that acts as an important element of biological activity. The pigment is composed of diverse polyphenols with a styrylpyrone moiety, mainly hispidin and its dimers, 3,14'-bihispidinyl, hypholomine B, and 1,1-distyrylpyrylethan. Although dimeric hispidins were proposed to be biosynthesized from two molecules of monomer via oxidative coupling by ligninolytic enzymes, laccase and peroxidase, the details of this process remain unknown. In this preliminary study, we attempted to achieve enzymatic synthesis of the hispidin dimer from hispidin by using commercially available horseradish peroxidase (HRP). Consequently, a hispidin dimer, 3,14'-bihispidinyl, was synthesized, whereas the other dimers, hypholomine B and 1,1-distyrylpyrylethan, were not produced. This result suggested that the oxidative coupling at the C-3 and C-14' positions of hispidins was dominant in the process of dimerization by HRP, and indicated that additional catalysts or substrates would be needed to synthesize other hispidin dimers present in the fungal metabolite.

  • Three photocyclodimers of 5,7-dimethoxycoumarin (DMC) were isolated and characterized from the photolysis of DMC in acetonitrile. The configuration of the dimers was found to be anti head-to-head, syn head-to-head and syn head-to-tail, respectively. The number and the ratio of the products are solvent dependent. The anti head-to-head dimer is favored in nonpolar solvents and the preference decreases as the solvent polarity increases giving almost 100${\%}$ syn dimers and less than 1${\%}$ anti dimer from methanol solution. The overall yields of dimers also increase with the solvent polarity. From sensitization and quenching experiments, anti dimer was found to be formed via excited singlet state while syn dimers were formed via both excited singlet and triplet states.

  • New asymmetric dimers, N,N'-dialkyl-4'-hydroxy-4-oxo-2,2',3,3'-tetrahydro-2,2'-diphenyl-4,4'-quinolones 3a-f were synthesized through the dehydration and dea1coholation of N-alkylanilines and ethyl benzoylacetate. Dimers 3a-f were identified by NMR, IR and GC-MS. A series of dimer 3a-f has been synthesized using acid-catalyzed one-pot reaction that involved the condensation, cyc1ization and dimerization. Similarly, the 6,6'-methoxy (or 7,7'-methoxy) substituted dimers were prepared from N-alkyl-meta-(or para)-anisidines. Formation of dimers was undertaken with p-toluenesulfonic acid (p-TSA) at 90∼11$0^{\circ}C$ in toluene for 2∼6 hours over the Dean-Stark apparatus.

  • In Arabidopsis thaliana, the microtubule-associated protein AtMAP65-1 shows various functions on microtubule dynamics and organizations. However, it is still an open question about whether AtMAP65-1 binds to tubulin dimers and how it regulates microtubule dynamics. In present study, the tubulin-binding activity of AtMAP65-1 was investigated. Pull-down and co-sedimentation exp eriments demonstrated that AtMAP65-1 bound to tubulin dimers,at a molar ratio of 1 : 1. Cross-linking experiments showed that AtMAP65-1 bound to tubulin dimers by interacting with $\alpha$-tubulin of the tubulin heterodimer. Interfering the bundling effect of AtMAP65-1 by addition of salt and monitoring the tubulin assembly, the experiment results indicated that AtMAP65-1 promoted tubulin assembly by interacting with tubulin dimers. In addition, five truncated versions of AtMAP65-1, namely AtMAP65-1 $\Delta$N339 (amino acids 340-587); AtMAP65-1 $\Delta$N494 (amino acids 495-587); AtMAP65-1 340-494 (amino acids 340-494); AtMAP65-1 $\Delta$C495 (amino acids 1-494) and AtMAP65-1 $\Delta$C340 (amino acids 1-339), were tested for their binding activities and roles in tubulin polymerization in vitro. Four (AtMAP65-1 $\Delta$N339, $\Delta$N494, AtMAP65-1 340-494 and $\Delta$C495) from the five truncated proteins were able to co-sediment with microtubules, and three (AtMAP65-1 $\Delta$N339, $\Delta$N494 and AtMAP65-1 340-494) of them could bind to tubulin dimers in vitro. Among the three truncated proteins, AtMAP65-1 $\Delta$N339 showed the greatest activity to promote tubulin polymerization, AtMAP65-1 $\Delta$N494 exhibited almost the same activity as the full length protein in promoting tubulin assembly, and AtMAP65-1 340-494 had minor activity to promote tubulin assembly. On the contrast, AtMAP65-1 $\Delta$C495, which bound to microtubules but not to tubulin dimers, did not affect tubulin assembly. Our study suggested that AtMAP65-1 might promote tubulin assembly by binding to tubulin dimers in vivo.

  • GTP cyclohydrolase I (E.C. 3.5.4.16) is a homodecameric protein that catalyzes the conversion of GTP to 7,8-dihydroneopterin triphosphate (H2NTP), the initial step in the biosynthesis of pteridines. It was proposed that the enzyme complex could be composed of a dimer of two pentamers, or a pentamer of tightly associated dimers; then the active site of the enzyme was located at the interface of three monomers (Nar et al. 1995a, b). Using mutant enzymes that were made by site-directed mutagenesis, we showed that a decamer of GTP cyclohydrolase I should be composed of a pentamer of five dimers, and that the active site is located between dimers, as analyzed by a series of size exclusion chromatography and the reconstitution experiment. We also show that the residues Lys 136, Arg139, and Glu152 are of particular importance for the oligomerization of the enzyme complex from five dimers to a decamer.

  • The detection of jovian hydrogen-hydrogen dimers through the clear telluric 2-micron window(Kim et al. 1995, Trafton et al. 1997( suggests possibility to detect noble gases in the form of dimer with hydrogen in jovian atmospheres. Since noble noble gases do not have spectral structures in the infrared, it has been difficult to derive their abundances in the atmospheres of jovian planets. If there is a significant component of noble gases other than helium in the jovian atmospheres. it might be detected through its dimer spectrum with hydrogen molecule. The relatively sharp spectral structures of hydrogen-argon and hydrogen-neon dimers compared with those of hydrogen-hydrogen dimers are useful for the detection, if an adequate signal-to-noise (S/N) is obtained. If we use a large telescope, such as the Keck telescope, with a long exposure time (>24 hours), then $H_2-Ar$ spectral structure may be detected.
