Sui Haixin^*,Ren Gang. Structure and Mechanism of Water Channels[J]. Progress in Chemistry, 2004, 16(02): 145-.

The mechanism of water transport across biological membranes has been a longstanding problem in physiology and cell biology. The discoveiy and characterization of the AQPl water channel protein leads to the identification of the aquaporin family of water channels which is responsible for the water permeability of biological membranes. The atom-ic structure of mammalian AQPl reveals how this family of proteins transports water molecules, but not other small mole-cules and ions (including protons), rapidly across cell membranes. This review summarizes the discovery of water chan-nel proteins and their mechanism of water-specific transport.

Hou Tingjun,Xu Xiaojie^**. Calculations of Free Energies Based on the Combination of Molecular Dynamics Simulations and Continuum Solvation Model[J]. Progress in Chemistry, 2004, 16(02): 153-.

In recent years, the methods of calculating free energies based on the combination of molecular dynamics simulations and continuum solvation models have drawn more and more attention, in which MM/PBSA is the most repre-sentational one. In MM/PBSA, the sum of molecular mechanical energies of the molecules is calculated from molecular mechanics (MM); the polar solvation energy in continuum solvent is usually computed using a finite-difference Poisson-Boltzmann (PB) model; and the nonpolar solvation energy is often obtained from the solvent-accessible surface area (SA). In this paper, the progress and application of MM/PBSA, as well as some research works in our group, are intro-duced.

Photosynthetic water oxidation is one of the most important biochemical processes on Earth. Oxygen-evolving photosynthetic organisms contain two types of photosynthetic reaction center, called photosystem I (PS I) and photosystem II (PS II). The PS II reaction center uses water as a source of electrons, light energy being used to oxidize water to provide protons and oxygen. How water is oxidized is a difficult problem that has already taken many years of work to understand, however, both the structure of oxygen evolving complex (OEC) and the mechanism of water oxidation still remain to be understood. In this review, we collected the current research results on this area and it will hopefully stimulate further work on the structure of oxygen evolving complex and the mechanism of water oxidation.

Ma Linge,Xu Jiaxi^**. Nucleophilic Ring Opening Reaction of Unsymmetric Aziridines and Its Regioselectivity[J]. Progress in Chemistry, 2004, 16(02): 220-.

Nucleophilic ring opening reaction of unsymmetric aziridines and its regioselectivity with various nucleo-philes was reviewed systematically. The regioselectivity is controlled by a balance between steric hindrance and electronic effect in an aziridine ring. Nucleophilic ring opening reaction of non-aryl and non-alkenyl substituted aziridines occurs generally on the less substituted carbon atom in their aziridine rings, controlled by steric hindrance. However, ihe reaction of aiyl and alkenyl substituted aziridines does on arylmethyl and allyl carbon atom, controlled by electronic effect, and the reaction of alkenyl substituted aziridines can also occur on the /3-carbon atom of the alkenyl group. The regiose-lectivity of intramolecular nucleophilic ring opening reaction of aziridines is controlled by the ring size of products, five-membered ring > six-membered ring > seven-membered ring. For a nucleophile, its regioselectivity is also controlled by both steric hindrance and electronic effect. However, a stronger nucleophile is generally just controlled by steric hin-drance. A nucleophile which prefers to form a stable free radical undergoes a single electron transfer mechanism in ring opening reaction of aziridines to generate products which could be obtained via its attacking on more substituted carbon at-om in an aziridine ring.
