The reactions between 2-chloro-5-nitro pyrimidine with a serie of α-nucleophile derivatives were kinetically evaluated. The kinetic study was carried out in aqueous media and the data shown an unusual split on the Brønsted type-plot, opening a controversial discussion based on reactivities and possible reaction pathways. These split Brønsted type-plots are discussed over the hypothetical transition state (TS) structures associated to concerted or stepwise mechanisms with emphasis on hydrogen bond interactions between electrophile/nucleophile pair able to determine the reactivities and the plausible reaction routes.

Despite the great potential of electrochemical nitrate reduction as a hydroxylamine production method, this strategy has not been sufficiently examined, and the effects of electrode material type on the selectivity and efficiency of this reduction remain underexplored. To bridge this gap, the present study evaluated six metals (Ag, Cu, Ni, Sn, Ti, and Zn) as cathode materials for the electrochemical reduction of nitrate to hydroxylamine, showing that the selectivity of hydroxylamine production was maximal for Sn, while the corresponding faradaic and energy utilization efficiencies were maximal for Ti. Although all tested materials favored nitrate reduction over hydrogen evolution, the disparity in the onset potentials of these reactions did not adequately explain the variations in nitrate removal efficiency, which was found to be influenced by material resistance and charge-transfer properties.

Using deuteron spin-lattice and spin-spin relaxometry, the reorientational dynamics of ethaline (choline chloride/ethylene glycol) and reline (choline chloride/urea) are studied in a component-selective, isotope-edited manner over a wide temperature range, thereby complementing previous work on glyceline (choline chloride/glycerol). Differences in the hydrogen bond propensities effectuate that in reline and glyceline, the choline ions move faster than the hydrogen bond donors, glycerol and urea; in ethaline, the ethylene glycol molecules are reorienting faster. For glyceline and reline, the increase in the corresponding time scale ratio indicates a pronounced strengthening of the glycerol and urea networks upon cooling, while in ethaline, the time scale ratio remains essentially constant.

Protein structure, both at the global and local level, dictates function. Proteins fold from chains of amino acids, forming secondary structures, α-helices and β-strands, that, at least for globular proteins, subsequently fold into a three-dimensional structure. Here, we show that a Ramachandran-type plot focusing on the two dihedral angles separated by the peptide bond, and entirely contained within an amino acid pair, defines a local structural unit.

Irreversible enzyme inhibitors bind covalently to their target and permanently limit its function. The redox-sensitive thiol group on the side chain of cysteine (Cys) residues is often the nucleophilic group that is targeted for reaction with the electrophilic warhead of irreversible inhibitors. While the acrylamide group is the warhead applied most frequently currently in the design of inhibitors with therapeutic potential, the chloroacetamide group offers a comparable reactivity profile.

Nucleophilic cysteine (Cys) residues are present in many enzyme active sites and represent the target of many different irreversible enzyme inhibitors. Given its fine balance between aqueous stability and thiolate reactivity, the acrylamide group is a particularly popular warhead pharmacophore among inhibitors designed for biological and therapeutic application. The acrylamide group is well known to undergo thiol addition, but the precise mechanism of this addition reaction has not been studied in as much detail.
