RESUMO
An efficient synthesis of different novel 2,5-dimethyl-N-substituted pyrrole derivatives by the Paal-Knorr condensation has been accomplished using uranyl nitrate hexahydrate as catalyst under soft conditions and ultrasonic irradiation. The synthesized compounds were confirmed through spectral characterization using IR, (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR and mass spectra.

Here we investigate the global conformation of the hammerhead ribozyme. Electrophoretic studies demonstrate that the structure is folded in response to the concentration and type of ions present. Folding based on colinear alignment of arms II and III is suggested, with a variable angle subtended by the remaining helix I. In the probable active conformation, a small angle is subtended between helices I and II. Using uranyl photocleavage, an ion binding site has been detected in the long single-stranded region. The folded conformation could generate a preactivation of the scissile bond to permit in-line attack of the 2'-hydroxyl group, with a bound metal ion playing an integral role in the chemistry.
