The (1)H and (13)C NMR spectra of 10-deoxymethynolide (1), 8.9-dihydro-10-deoxymethynolide (2) and its glycosylated derivatives (3-9) were analyzed using gradient-selected NMR techniques, including 1D TOCSY, gCOSY, 1D NOESY (DPFGSENOE), NOESY, gHMBC, gHSQC and gHSQC-TOCSY. The NMR spectral parameters (chemical shifts and coupling constants) of 1-9 were determined by iterative analysis. For the first time, complete and unambiguous assignment of the (1)H NMR spectrum of 10-deoxymethynolide (1) has been achieved in CDCl(3), CD(3)OD and C(6)D(6) solvents. The (1)H NMR spectrum of 8,9-dihydro-10-deoxymethynolide (2) was recorded in CDCl(3), (CD(3))(2)CO and CD(3)OD solutions to determine the conformation. NMR-based conformational analysis of 1 and 2 in conjugation with molecular modeling concluded that the 12-membered ring of the macrolactones may predominantly exist in a single stable conformation in all solvents examined. In all cases, a change in solvent caused only small changes in chemical shifts and coupling constants, suggesting that all glycosylated methymycin analogs exist with similar conformations of the aglycone ring in solution.

We developed a technique allowing the direct observation of photoinduced charge-transfer states (CTSs)-the weakly coupled electron-hole pairs preceding the completely separated charges in organic photovoltaic (OPV) blends. Quadrature detection of the electron spin echo (ESE) signal enables the observation of an out-of-phase ESE signal of CTS. The out-of-phase Electron-Electron Double Resonance (ELDOR) allows measuring electron-hole distance distributions within CTS and its temporal evolution in the microsecond range.

-(tetra-aryl) picket calix[4]pyrrole 1 featuring -fluorophenyl groups at all four -positions in a -configuration has been synthesized and characterized unambiguously using single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. This pre-organized system possesses a deep binding pocket created by the four aryl groups so that anions can be accommodated through anion-π interactions and four-point N-H⋯anion hydrogen bonds. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of the CsF and TEAF (TEA = tetraethylammonium) complexes of receptor 1 unequivocally confirms the formation of 1 : 1 complexes, revealing the binding modes in the solid state.

Searching for a serial killer on a hospital ward.

Tampere University, Faculty of Social Sciences, Arvo building, Arvo Ylpon katu 34, Tampere, Finland.

Article Synopsis
  • The case of Lucy Letby illustrates the difficulty of identifying serial killers in healthcare settings, emphasizing the need for improved statistical methods in legal investigations.
  • A nurse was convicted for injecting an infant with insulin, and an analysis of 29 suspicious deaths in a geriatric unit revealed a significant correlation between her night shifts and the incidents.
  • While statistical methods can enhance investigative targeting, they must complement thorough investigations to accurately determine the causes of death in suspicious cases.

Molecular protocol for genome-wide and cell-type-selective profiling of in vivo small noncoding RNA:target RNA interactions by CIMERA-seq.

Small noncoding RNAs (sncRNAs) can regulate gene expression by guiding the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) to targeted transcripts for translational repression and/or target destabilization. Here, we present a robust benchtop protocol, termed CIMERA-seq, for the unambiguous profiling of sncRNA:target RNA interactions in a genome-wide and cell-type-selective manner. We describe steps for in vivo crosslinking and harvesting tissue, immunoprecipitation and covalent ligation of sncRNAs to target RNAs within the RISC, and sequencing of the resulting chimeric sncRNA:target RNA interactions.
