    The ionized methylene transfer from the distonic radical cation +CH2-O-CH2 to heterocyclic compounds. A pentaquadrupole mass spectrometric study

    Ion-molecule reactions of the mass-selected distonic radical cation +CH2-O-CH2 (1) with several heterocyclic compounds have been investigated by multiple stage mass spectro- metric experiments performed in a pentaquadrupole mass spectrometer. Reactions with pyridine, 2-, 3-, and 4-ethyl, 2-methoxy, and 2-n-propyl pyridine occur mainly by transfer of CH2+ to the nitrogen, which yields distonic N-methylene-pyridinium radical cations. The MS3 spectra of these products display very characteristic collision-induced dissociation chemistry, which is greatly affected by the position of the substituent in the pyridine ring. Ortho isomers undergo a δ-cleavage cyclization process induced by the free-radical character of the N-methylene group that yields bicyclic pyridinium cations. On the other hand, extensive CH2+ transfer followed by rapid hydrogen atom loss, that is, a net CH+ transfer, occurs not to the heteroatoms, but to the aromatic ring of furan, thiophene, pyrrole, and N-methyl pyrrole. The reaction proceeds through five- to six-membered ring expansion, which yields the pyrilium, thiapyrilium, N-protonated, and N-methylated pyridine cations, respectively, as indicated by MS3 scans. Ion 1 fails to transfer CH2+ to tetrahydrofuran, whereas a new α-distonic sulfur ion is formed in reactions with tetrahydrothiophene. Unstable N-methylene distonic ions, likely formed by transfer of CH2+ to the nitrogen of piperidine and pyrrolidine, undergo rapid fragmentation by loss of the α-NH hydrogen to yield closed-shell immonium cations. The most thermodynamically favorable products are formed in these reactions, as estimated by ab initio calculations at the MP2/6-31G(d,p)//6- 31G(d,p) + ZPE level of theory

    O estudo de estruturas e interações proteicas é uma importante área de pesquisa para se entender as funções das proteínas. No entanto, essa é também uma das áreas de grandes desafios experimentais, devido à inerente complexidade atômica de proteínas e peptídeos. Os métodos de elucidação estrutural de alta resolução (e.g. difração de raios-X e RMN) são hoje os considerados “padrões-ouro” para esses tipos de estudos. No entanto, uma grande parte das proteínas e seus respectivos complexos não são passíveis de serem resolvidos por esses métodos, motivando o desenvolvimento de novas técnicas para a caracterização estrutural de proteínas e seus complexos. Neste sentido, a espectrometria de massas acoplada à técnica de crosslinking (XL-MS) é uma grande promessa, devido às suas características intrínsecas, tais como alta sensibilidade e ampla aplicabilidade. Neste trabalho, desenvolveu-se um software com aplicações pioneiras, denominado SIM-XL, capaz de identificar peptídeos covalentemente ligados e analisados por espectrometria de massas, a fim de caracterizar estruturas de proteínas, bem como de complexos proteínas-proteínas e proteína-peptídeo. Esse software faz uso de técnicas de reconhecimento de padrões para resolver um gargalo na modelagem proteica e interação proteína-proteína. Portanto, o algoritmo aqui apresentado, traz benefícios imediatos nas áreas de biologia e biotecnologia e indiretamente, em diversas outras áreas, como por exemplo, no desenvolvimento de novos fármacos.Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES); Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq), Programa de Apoio à Pesquisa Estratégica em Saúde (Papes) da Fiocruz, Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP), Microsoft Research.The study of protein structures and interactions is an important area of development for understanding the function of proteins. However, this is also an area of great experimental challenge, due to the inherent atomic complexity of proteins and peptides. The methods of structural elucidation of high-resolution (e.g. X-ray diffraction and NMR) are currently considered the “gold standard” for these types of studies. However, many proteins are not amendable to being solved by these methods; thus motivating the development of new techniques for structural characterization of proteins and their complexes. In this regard, mass spectrometry coupled by crosslinking technique (XL-MS) poses as a promise to overcome these limitations as it provides a high sensitivity and wide applicability. Here we present SIM-XL, a software pioneer in many ways, capable of identifying cross-linked peptides analyzed by mass spectrometry and thus ultimately aiding in structural characterization and in determining protein-protein interactions. Our software uses pattern recognition strategies to address a bottleneck in protein modeling and protein-protein interaction. As such, various fields related to biology and biotechnology suffer an immediate benefit from this work, and other areas, say, the development of new drugs, are indirectly benefited as well

    Mismatch and conciliation: the relation between the narrator and the narrated subject in Jubiabá, by Jorge Amado

    O presente trabalho propõe uma leitura do romance Jubiabá (1935), de Jorge Amado, com base na ideia de \"descompasso conciliador\". Trata-se de uma dinâmica caracterizada pela relação ora convergente, ora divergente do narrador em relação à matéria narrada, organizada em torno do herói negro Antônio Balduíno. A pesquisa visa analisar como essa dinâmica reverbera na estrutura da narrativa como um todo, e produz impasses criticamente significativos. Dessa maneira, é possível identificar, por meio das angulações narrativas, o tratamento dispensado pelo autor a temas como candomblé, malandragem, trabalho, escravidão, favor e dependênciaThis paper propounds an interpretation of the novel Jubiabá (1935), by Jorge Amado, based on the idea of a \"conciliatory mismatch\". The concept is a dynamic which is characterized by the relation at times convergent, at times divergent of the narrator in regards to the narrated subject, organized around the Afro-Brazilian hero Antônio Balduíno. The research aims to analyze how this dynamic reverberates in the narrative structure as a whole, producing critically significant impasses. Thus, it is possible to identify through the narrative angles the treatment given by the author to themes such as the Candomblé, trickery, work, slavery, favor and dependenc

The climate of the region is subtropical (Cfa in the Köppen-Geiger classification) with an average annual temperature of 18 °C and annual precipitation of 1919 mm (Alvares et al., 2013). The rainfall is well distributed throughout the year. Please, see the PDF file. Figure 1. Location of the site of data acquisition. Based on Google Earth Pro scenes.
