Conformationally flexible hexakis-urea 1 was synthesized efficiently by condensing hexakis(aminomethyl)benzene with 4-nitrophenyl-(3,5-di-tert-butylphenyl)carbamate. The hexakis-urea 1 is unexpectedly soluble in organic solvents of low polarity due to intramolecular hydrogen bonding. The hexakis-urea 1 recognizes chloride, bromide, and acetate in a 1:2 host-guest ratio and in a positive allosteric manner in CDCl . The ability of 1 to recognize dihydrogen phosphate is a unique outcome, and the structure of the associated complex, which contains four dihydrogen phosphate ions, was clarified by single-crystal X-ray structural analysis. However, in solution, a complex with three dihydrogen phosphate ions was identified. The dihydrogen phosphate association in CDCl proceeds in an amphoteric allosteric manner; in a positive allosteric manner (K K ) in the subsequent step.

In prokaryotes, the non-bridging oxygen in the DNA sugar-phosphate backbone can be enzymatically replaced by a sulfur atom, resulting in phosphorothioate (PT) modification. However, the mechanism underlying the oxygen-to-sulfur substitution remains enigmatic. In this study, we discovered a hypercompact DNA phosphorothioation system, TdpABC, in extreme thermophiles.
