Gallium Corrole

Gallium corrole is a synthetic coordination compound in which a gallium ion is held within a corrole macrocycle, a nitrogen-rich, ring-shaped ligand related to porphyrins. Its properties arise from metal–ligand coordination: the corrole framework stabilizes gallium, while its conjugated structure governs light absorption, electronic behavior, and interactions with surrounding molecules. In bioengineering, these compounds provide tunable platforms for studying molecular recognition, imaging, and light-activated biological processes. Their adjustable substituents may support the design of biological probes or therapeutic materials, although performance depends on solubility, cellular compatibility, and delivery to the intended biological target.

Gallium(III) 5,10,15-(tris)pentafluorophenylcorrole and its freebase analogue exhibit low micromolar cell cytotoxicity. This manuscript describes an RNA transcription reaction, imaging RNA with an ethidium bromide-stained gel, and quantifying RNA with UV-Vis spectroscopy, in order to assess transcription inhibition by corroles and demonstrates a straightforward method of evaluating anticancer candidate properties.

Base Excision Repair

0 Views •

2020

One of the common DNA damages is the chemical alteration of single bases by alkylation, oxidation, or deamination. The altered bases cause mispairing and strand breakage during replication. This type of damage causes minimal change to the DNA double helix structure and can be repaired by the base excision repair (BER) pathways. BER corrects damaged DNA sequences by removing the damaged base and restoring the original base sequence using the complementary strand as a template. The first step of...

Acids and Bases An Arrhenius acid produces hydrogen ions when it is dissolved in water: HA + H2O → H+(aq) + A-(aq) Here, HA is the non-dissociated acid, H+ is the hydrogen cation, and A- is the solvated anion — called the conjugate base. An Arrhenius base produces hydroxide ions when dissolved in water: BOH + H2O → B+(aq) + OH-(aq) Here, BOH is the non-dissociated base, OH- is the hydroxide ion, and B+ is the solvated cation — called the conjugate acid. A conjugate base is formed when an acid...
