- Description: Unexpected substituent-dependent regioselectivty challenges in the synthesis of C-benzylated (N-arylcarbamoyl)phosphonate esters have been resolved. The C-benzylated N-furfurylcarbamoyl derivative showed low micromolar PfLDH inhibition, while one of the C-benzylated N-arylcarbamoyl analogues was active against Nagana Trypanosoma brucei parasites which are responsible for African trypanosomiasis in cattle.

- Description: The Auxiliary Activity family 9 (AA9) proteins are Cu2+ coordinating enzymes which are crucial for the early stages of cellulose degradation. In this study, the force field parameters for copper-containing bonds in the Type 1 AA9 protein active site were established and used in a molecular dynamics simulation on a solvated, neutralized system containing an AA9 protein, Cu2+ and a β-cellulose surface. The copper to cellulose interaction was evident during the dynamics, which could also be accelerated by the use of high Cu O van der Waals parameters. The interaction of AA9, Cu2+ and cellulose is described in detail.
