Correlating structure with function in bacterial multicomponent monooxygenases and related diiron proteins
Article Abstract:
Bacterial multicomponent monooxygenases (BMMs) catalyze the [O.sub.2]-dependent hydroxylation of hydrocarbons at a carboxylate-bridged diiron center similar to those that occur in some dimetallic oxygen-utilizing enzymes. A study seeks to understand, from a structural perspective, aspects of the diiron chemistry that control [O.sub.2] and substrate reactivity and dictate a specific outcome.

Modular and dynamic functionalization of polymeric scaffolds
Article Abstract:
The concepts which utilize noncovalent interactions such as hydrogen bonding, ionic interactions, electrostatic interactions, metal coordination, and [pi]-[pi] stacking in modification of copolymer side-chains to obtain multifunctional polymeric materials, induce polymer morphology changes, and influence bulk-polymer properties, are described.
