Molecular Features of the Copper Binding Sites in the Octarepeat Domain of the Prion Protein
Colin S. Burns,Eliah Aronoff-Spencer,Christine M. Dunham,Paula I. Lario,Nikolai I. Avdievich,William E. Antholine,Marilyn M. Olmstead,Alice Vrielink,Gary J. Gerfen,Jack Peisach,William G. Scott,Glenn L. Millhauser +11 more
TL;DR: The structure reveals an unusual complementary interaction between copper-structured HGGGW units that may facilitate molecular recognition between prion proteins, thereby suggesting a mechanism for transmembrane signaling and perhaps conversion to the pathogenic form.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Distorted Tetrahedral Metal Oxide Cluster inside an Icosahedral Carbon Cage. Synthesis, Isolation, and Structural Characterization of Sc4(μ3-O)2@Ih-C80
Steven Stevenson,Mary A. Mackey,Melissa A. Stuart,J. Paige Phillips,Michael L. Easterling,Christopher J. Chancellor,Marilyn M. Olmstead,Alan L. Balch +7 more
TL;DR: The remarkably large cluster Sc4(mu3-O)2 has been obtained trapped inside an Ih-C80 cage by conducting the vaporization of graphite rods doped with copper(II) nitrate and scandium(III) oxide in an electric arc under a low pressure helium atmosphere with an added flow of air.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tb3N@C84: An Improbable, Egg-Shaped Endohedral Fullerene that Violates the Isolated Pentagon Rule
Christine M. Beavers,Tianming Zuo,James C. Duchamp,Kim Harich,Harry C. Dorn,Marilyn M. Olmstead,Alan L. Balch +6 more
TL;DR: Although 24 IPR structures are available to the C84 cage, Nature utilizes one of the 51 568 isomeric structures that do not conform to the IPR for this unusual molecule.
Journal ArticleDOI
Boronic Acid-Based Bipyridinium Salts as Tunable Receptors for Monosaccharides and α-Hydroxycarboxylates
Soya Gamsey,Aaron W. Miller,Marilyn M. Olmstead,Christine M. Beavers,Lacie C. Hirayama,Sulolit Pradhan,Ritchie A. Wessling,Bakthan Singaram +7 more
TL;DR: Several novel diboronic acid-substituted bipyridinium salts were prepared and, using a fluorescent reporter dye, were tested for their ability to selectively bind various monosaccharides and alpha-hydroxycarboxylates in an aqueous medium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation and Crystallographic Characterization of ErSc2N@C80: an Endohedral Fullerene Which Crystallizes with Remarkable Internal Order
Marilyn M. Olmstead,Ana de Bettencourt-Dias,James C. Duchamp,Steven Stevenson,Harry C. Dorn,Alan L. Balch +5 more
TL;DR: ErSc2N@C80 as mentioned in this paper is a mixed metal endohedral, which was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction at 90 K on ErSc2n@C 80·CoII(OEP)·1.5C6H6·0.3CHCl3.
