36 Degrees Step Size Of Proton-Driven C-Ring Rotation In Fof1-Atp Synthase, Monika Düser, Nawid Zarrabi, Daniel Cipriano, Stefan Ernst, Gary Glick, Stanley Dunn, Michael Börsch

Synthesis of adenosine triphosphate ATP, the 'biological energy currency', is accomplished by F(o)F(1)-ATP synthase. In the plasma membrane of Escherichia coli, proton-driven rotation of a ring of 10 c subunits in the F(o) motor powers catalysis in the F(1) motor. Although F(1) uses 120 degrees stepping during ATP synthesis, models of F(o) predict either an incremental rotation of c subunits in 36 degrees steps or larger step sizes comprising several fast substeps. Using single-molecule fluorescence resonance energy transfer, we provide the first experimental determination of a 36 degrees sequential stepping mode of the c-ring during ATP synthesis.

A variety of Group 10 metal complexes [MXY(dfppp)], M = Ni, X, Y = Cl, Br, M = Pd, Pt, X, Y = Cl or CH3, containing the recently reported highly fluorous diphosphine ligand, dfppp, 1,3-bis[di(fluoroponytail)phosphino]propane, {(p-F13C6C6H4)2P}2(CH2)3 have been synthesised. They have been characterised by NMR, mass spectrometry and microanalysis, with two platinum complexes, [PtCl2(dfppp)] and [PtClMe(dfppp)], structurally characterised by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The highly fluorous nature of the ligands affords the complexes good supercritical CO2 solubility as measured by supercritical fluid extraction (SFE), and has allowed for the copolymerisation of CO and ethylene using [PdClMe(dfppp)] as the …

In this paper we report enhanced reactivity of the D5h isomers in comparison with the more common Ih isomers of Sc3N@C80 and Lu3N@C80 toward Diels−Alder and 1,3-dipolar tritylazomethine ylide cycloaddition reactions. Also, the structure of the D5h isomer of Sc3N@C80 has been determined through single-crystal X-ray diffraction on D5h-Sc3N@C80·Ni(OEP)·2benzene (OEP = octaethylporphyrin). The Sc3N portion of D5h-Sc3N@C80 is strictly planar, but the plane of these four atoms is tipped out of the noncrystallographic, horizontal mirror plane of the fullerene by 30°. The combination of short bond length and high degree of pyramidization for the central carbon atoms of the pyracylene …
