File talk:Oligomycin.png

I am convinced that the absolute configuration of oligomycin shown in this image, which is often cited in journal articles, is incorrect. I refer you to recent structure elucidation studies:

Nakata, M., et al., Bull. Chem. Soc. Jpn., 68, 967-989 (1995)

&

Wagenaar, M.S., et al., J. Nat. Prod., 70, 367-371 (2007)

The previous structure which appears to be the one shown here was reported by von Glehn, M., et al., FEBS Lett., 20, 267-269 (1972), and disagrees with the data in the sources cited above, and with my own data as well.Dr.kwan (talk) 13:09, 18 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I have updated the structure to correspond to the data presented in these two papers. -- Ed (Edgar181) 19:51, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
