Water-Soluble Class C β-Lactamase Catalytic Residue Mimic: Effect of Proximally Positioned Functional Groups on their pKa Values
摘要:
Molecules mimicing class C beta-lactamase catalytic residues were synthesized to study the effect of proximal positioning of serine, lysine and tyrosine side chains on their pKa values. The three amino acid side chains were mimicked by hydroxymethyl group, alkyl ammonium group and phenol which were linked by a short skeleton to ensure interaction among these functionalities. Comparison of the mimics in water showed a phenolic pKa decrease of up to 3.6 units. The finding supports the possible role of tyrosine as a general acid/base catalyst in acylation of class C beta-lactamase. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Disclosed herein are an ionic conductor including a proton conductor, a process for production thereof, and an electrochemical device (such as fuel cell) with said ionic conductor, said ionic conductor being superior in ionic conductivity, water resistance, and film forming properties. The ionic conductor is formed from a polymer in which carbon clusters having ion dissociating functional groups are bonded to each other through connecting groups. The polymer is less water-soluble and more chemically stable than a derivative composed solely of carbon clusters; therefore, it permits many ion dissociating functional group to be introduced thereinto. Moreover, if ion dissociating functional groups are introduced into also the connecting group, it is possible to prevent the concentration of ion dissociating functional groups from decreasing as the result of polymerization. The polymer can be easily synthesized by simple condensation, substitution, and hydrolysis. Therefore, the process is suitable for mass production in high yields.
