The reference to our website in order to use our image of oligomycin was done without asking us, but never mind, that's OK, I permit that anyway.

- I am convinced that the absolute configuration of oligomycin shown in this image (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/20/Oligomycin.png/584px-Oligomycin.png), 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)
Chemical structure edit
The following conversation about the chemical structure of oligomycins is copied from my user talk page in case it is of interest to anyone here. -- Ed (Edgar181) 20:44, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

Hey Edgar, I'm trying to wrap my head around the image used for Oligomycin A . The old version you uploaded looked more consistent with the Merck Index 15th Ed. minus a few stereo bonds. When looking at the ChemSpider link for the compound, the IUPAC name is different. Unfortunately if Chemspider/Merck Index is correct, this would also change the diagram of the Oligomycins that's on the page. I am unable to access the reference mentioned in the description of the diagram (1995). The references mentioned In the Merck are all prior to 1978. Kinliss (talk) 20:49, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
This is a more recent paper regarding the structure of Oligomycin A that confirms your structure and it's stereochemical bonds.
The 1971 paper you referenced I was able to find online, but it only talked about Oligomycin B and it's crystal structure. Either way, I'll notify the authors of the Merck Index to review and correct it's entry. Thanks! Kinliss (talk) 17:49, 21 April 2016 (UTC) |
