Abstract
20-Hydroxyecdysone (20E) is an insect molting hormone that is also widely spread in various plants. Many chromatographic methods can be used to identify and/or determine 20E content in samples of biological origin and various spectroscopic methods serve to identify its structural elements. We have utilized X-ray crystallography to reveal the stereostructures of 20E. Our data demonstrates that 20E exists in two different crystalline forms that are both orthorhombic modifications. One form is homo-molecular, with a limited freedom of internal rotation of the side chain around the C23-C24 bond and the other, which is a clathrate formed with methanol and water, which minimize the conformational freedom of the side chain.

Chalcogen-modified nucleic acid analogues
Chalcogen-modified nucleosides, nucleotides and oligonucleotides have been of great interest to scientific research for many years. The replacement of oxygen in the nucleobase, sugar or phosphate backbone by chalcogen atoms (sulfur, selenium, tellurium) gives these biomolecules unique properties resulting from their altered physical and chemical properties. The continuing interest in ...read more
