3-Amino-2-(2-nitrophenyl)diazinyl-3-(morpholin-1-yl)acrylonitrile (ANMA) has been successfully synthesized via conventional solvent method, and its molecular structure has been identified by using various techniques including FTIR, (1)H NMR, MS and elemental analysis. The crystal structure of ANMA is characterized by single crystal X-ray crystallography. Crystallographic data revealed that the spatial structure of ANMA belongs to monoclinic, P21 a space group. ANMA thin films were deposited onto optical flat quartz substrates by using thermal evaporation under vacuum pressure of 2×10(-4) Pa. The optical properties of the films are studied in terms of the measurements of transmittance and reflectance determined at the normal incident of light over the spectral range 200-2400 nm. The absorption coefficient of the films is computed and the optical band gap of the films is estimated. In addition, the complex refractive index for the films has been calculated and described. Single oscillator model is found to be applicable for the films in which the dispersion parameters namely; single oscillator energy, dispersion energy, dielectric constant at high frequency, lattice dielectric constant and the ratio of carrier concentration to the effective mass are estimated.

Background: The present research work was done to evaluate the anatomical differences among selected species of the family Bignoniaceae, as limited anatomical data is available for this family in Pakistan. Bignoniaceae is a remarkable family for its various medicinal properties and anatomical characterization is an important feature for the identification and classification of plants.
Methodology: In this study, several anatomical structures were examined, including stomata type and shape, leaf epidermis shape, epidermal cell size, and the presence or absence of trichomes and crystals (e.

Two undescribed rearranged diterpenoids, lobopaucinoids A and B (1 and 2), along with thirteen undescribed lobane-type diterpenoids lobopaucinoids C-O (3-15) including a C (11) and two C (12 and 13) undescribed norditerpenoids, were isolated from the soft coral Lobophytum pauciflorum Ehrenberg (Sarcophytidae family) collected from Xisha Islands of the South China Sea. Additionally, two undescribed prenyleudesmane-type diterpenoids, lobopaucinoids P and Q (16 and 17), as well as two known lobane diterpenoids (18 and 19), were also obtained. Their structures were elucidated based on comprehensive spectroscopic data, Mosher's method, Mo(OAc) or Rh(OCOCF)-induced circular dichroism experiment, quantum chemical calculations, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction and literature comparison.

Arrestins halt cell signaling by binding to phosphorylated activated G protein-coupled receptors. Arrestin-1 binds to rhodopsin, arrestin-4 binds to cone opsins, and arrestins-2,3 bind to the rest of GPCRs. In addition, it has been reported that arrestin-1 is functionally expressed in mouse cone photoreceptors.

MarE, a heme-dependent enzyme, catalyzes a unique 2-oxindole-forming monooxygenation reaction from tryptophan metabolites. To elucidate its enzyme-substrate interaction mode, we present the first X-ray crystal structures of MarE in complex with its prime substrate, (2S,3S)-β-methyl-L-tryptophan and cyanide at 1.89 Å resolution as well as a truncated yet catalytically active version in complex with the substrate at 2.

Type VI secretion systems (T6SS) are dynamic protein nanomachines found in Gram-negative bacteria that deliver toxic effector proteins into target cells in a contact-dependent manner. Prior to secretion, many T6SS effector proteins require chaperones and/or accessory proteins for proper loading onto the structural components of the T6SS apparatus. However, despite their established importance, the precise molecular function of several T6SS accessory protein families remains unclear.
