Primary severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus infection limits replication but not lung inflammation upon homologous rechallenge.

Our knowledge regarding immune-protective and immunopathogenic events in severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) infection is limited, and little is known about the dynamics of the immune response at the primary site of disease. Here, an African green monkey (AGM) model was used to elucidate immune mechanisms that facilitate viral clearance but may also contribute to persistent lung inflammation following SARS-CoV infection. During primary infection, SARS-CoV replicated in the AGM lung for up to 10 days.

Remodeling the isoprenoid pathway in tobacco by expressing the cytoplasmic mevalonate pathway in chloroplasts.

Metabolic engineering to enhance production of isoprenoid metabolites for industrial and medical purposes is an important goal. The substrate for isoprenoid synthesis in plants is produced by the mevalonate pathway (MEV) in the cytosol and by the 2-C-methyl-d-erythritol 4-phosphate (MEP) pathway in plastids. A multi-gene approach was employed to insert the entire cytosolic MEV pathway into the tobacco chloroplast genome.

Synthesis and coordination chemistry of macrocyclic ligands featuring NHC donor groups.

Poly-NHC (NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene) ligands emerged almost immediately after the first stable NHCs had been described. Macrocyclic ligands, featuring NHC donor groups and their metal complexes, however, remained rare until recently. This perspective highlights modern developments in the fields of synthesis and coordination chemistry of macrocyclic poly-NHC ligands.

Stepwise formation of a molecular square with bridging NH,O-substituted dicarbene building blocks.

The β,β'-bis(triisopropylsiloxy)phenyl-1,4-diisocyanide 3 and [Ir(Cp*)Cl(2)](2) were used for the stepwise assembly of the [Ir(Cp*)Cl] cornered molecular square [6](Cl)(4). Synthesis of the tetrakis(diisocyanide) bridged molecular square [Ir(Cp*)Cl(3)](4)(BF(4))(4) [5](BF(4))(4) followed by cleavage of the O-Si(i-Pr)(3) bonds of the diisocyanide bridges with HCl/i-PrOH led to an intramolecular attack of the liberated hydroxyl groups at the isocyanide carbon atoms with formation of molecular square [6](Cl)(4) featuring four dicarbene linkers.

Palladium and platinum complexes of a benzannulated N-heterocyclic plumbylene with an unusual bonding mode.

Reaction of the N,N'-diisobutyl-substituted benzannulated N-heterocyclic plumbylene (NHPb) 1 with [Pd(PPh(3))(4)] and [Pt(PPh(3))(4)] gave the complexes [M(NHPb)(PPh(3))(3)] (M = Pd [2], Pt [3]). X-ray diffraction studies of both complexes showed an angle of ~125° between the plumbylene plane and the transition-metal-Pb axis, indicating coordination of the transition metal to the empty π orbital of the plumbylene Pb atom. The experimentally determined metric parameters of complexes [2] and [3] are discussed on the basis of DFT calculations.

The measured distributions include jets with transverse momenta up to 1.
