The high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) protein has a central role in immunological antitumour defense. Here we show that natural killer cell-derived HMGB1 directly eliminates cancer cells by triggering metabolic cell death. allosterically inhibits the tetrameric pyruvate kinase isoform M2, thus blocking glucose-driven aerobic respiration. This results rapid shift forcing to rely solely on glycolysis for maintenance of energy production. Cancer can acquire resistance increasing using dimeric...
Abstract The present work describes the reaction of triplet dioxygen with porphyrinogenic calix[4]pyrrolato aluminates to alkylperoxido in high selectivity. Multiconfigurational quantum chemical computations disclose mechanism for this spin‐forbidden process. Despite a negligible spin–orbit coupling constant, intersystem crossing (ISC) is facilitated by singlet and state degeneracy spin–vibronic coupling. formed peroxides are stable toward external substrates but undergo an unprecedented...

Abstract Threefold symmetrical chiral podands may simplify the stereochemistry of key catalytic intermediates for cases in which they only act as bidentate ligands. This applies to systems chemical exchange between different κ 2 ‐coordinated forms takes place and non‐coordinated sidearm play a direct or indirect role at some earlier later stage cycle. Palladium(II)‐catalysed allylic substitutions provide appropriate test reactions along these lines. A series neutral dichloropalladium(II)...
Abstract Due to their high basicity, guanidines are versatile ligand systems. In principal, they could use both imino and amino nitrogen establish a dative metal–N bond.
