[Spectral analysis and synthesis of artificial antigen of the organophosphors pesticide methamidophos].

In the present paper, a hapten of methamidophos was synthesized and conjugated with KLH by active ester method, thus the first artificial antigen was obtained. By diazotization method methamidophos conjugated with BSA, and the second artificial antigen was obtained. The synthesized haptens were characterized by MS, IR and 1H NMR, and the two artificial antigens were determined by the method of IR spectrum.

Structures of D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase complexed with coenzyme analogues.

Crystal structures of GAPDH from Palinurus versicolor complexed with two coenzyme analogues, SNAD(+) and ADP-ribose, were determined by molecular replacement and refined at medium resolution to acceptable crystallographic factors and reasonable stereochemistry. ADP-ribose in the ADP-ribose-GAPDH complex adopts a rather extended conformation. The interactions between ADP-ribose and GAPDH are extensive and in a fashion dissimilar to the coenzyme NAD(+).

Structure Determination of Basic Phospholipase A(2) from the Venom of Agkistrodon halys Pallas in A New Monoclinic Crystal Form.

Basic phospholipase A(2) from the venom of Agkistrodon halys Pallas ( Agkistrodin blomhoffii brevicaudus ) exhibits hemolytic and anti-coagulant activities. A new monoclinic crystal form with four molecules per asymmetric unit was grown in the absence of n-octyl beta-o-glucopyranoside (beta-OG). The enzyme structure was determined by the molecular replacement method.

Preliminary Crystallographic Analysis of Phospholipase A(2) from Naja naja kaouthia Lesson Venom.

An acidic phospholipase A(2) isolated from the venom of Naja naja kaouthia Lesson in Guangxi exhibits anticoagulative and hemolytic activities. In this work, the enzyme was crystallized by the method of hanging drop vapor diffusion. Two crystal forms were obtained and characterized by X-ray diffraction.
