✦ Synopsis

The purpose of this study is to quantitate the sensitivity of Zn2+ -insulin to oxidation catalyzed by various redox active transition metals, Cu2+, Fe2+, Mn2+, Ni2+, Co2+, Cr3+. Human recombinant insulin (INS) was subjected to oxidation under various conditions in the presence and absence of Zn2+ and ascorbate. The extent of oxidation was monitored by RP-HPLC. Only Cu2+, but none of the other metals or combination thereof, for example, Ni2+/Co2+, Co2+/Cr3+, and Ni2+/Cr3+, catalyzed INS oxidation, for example, to an extent of 45% when 20 microM INS/8.8 microM Zn2+ were exposed to 8 microM Cu2+ and 50 microM ascorbate for 90 min. The Cu2+ -catalyzed oxidation mainly targeted the B chain of INS, where the two histidine residues are located.

Photoluminescence of zinc and copper oxide layers is studied. The results obtained, emission and excitation spectra, with oxide layers (thickness G 1 bm) are similar to reported photoluminescence from largc layers and single crystals. Models for the centers responsible for the emission are proposed.

## Abstract In this DFT study, a mechanism of the oxidation of methionine (Met) amino acid residue catalyzed by the metal (Cu^2+^, Zn^2+^, and Fe^3+^) bound amyloid beta (Aβ) peptide has been proposed. Based on experimental information, two different mechanisms: (1) stepwise and (2) concerted mecha

The reaction of internal 1,2-diols with catalytic n-Bu 2 SnO, p-TsCl (1.05 equiv.) and Et 3 N (1.1 equiv.) led to selective monotosylation. In the case of cyclic substrates, the cis-1,2-diol moiety appeared best suited for optimal results, supporting the intermediacy of a five-membered chelate.
