Metal detoxification is essential for bacteria’s survival in adverse environments and their pathogenesis hosts. Understanding the underlying mechanisms crucial devising antibacterial treatments. In Gram-negative bacterium Escherichia coli , membrane-bound sensor CusS its response regulator CusR together regulate transcription of cus operon that plays important roles cells’ resistance to copper/silver, they belong two-component systems (TCSs) are ubiquitous across various organisms diverse...

A series of quaternary cocrystals (R4N)2[L(X)2]·Sol (1–6) have been obtained through a combination halogen bond (XB) and hydrogen (HB) interactions between dihalide foldamer (formed by tetrakis(urea) ligand L halide ions Cl–, Br–, or I–), tetraalkylammonium cation, halogenated alkane. Using anions as the halogen- hydrogen-bond acceptor is favorable because they are spherical, symmetric electronegative. The HB donors include L, which has strong binding affinity toward anions, while...

Raman scattering is a powerful tool for revealing the vibrations of molecules, but as nonlinear optical phenomenon, its signals can change via mechanisms like resonance enhancement that have no direct analogue in infrared spectroscopy. In this work, complementary measurements conducted on 4-nitrophenol and conjugate base allow students to directly control variables responsible enhancement. Changing sample UV–vis absorbance with pH excitation color addition diode laser allows explore criteria...

Abstract The Wagner‐Jauregg reaction, despite its potential utility, has remained largely unexplored since discovery in 1930. Utilizing density functional theory (DFT) calculations and experimental 1 H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) kinetics data to generate a Hammett plot, the reaction is shown proceed via highly asynchronous, concerted mechanism, analogous Diels–Alder reaction. Our development of milder, more reliable conditions for will facilitate synthesis novel, structurally complex,...
