Microtubules form part of the cytoskeleton of eukaryotic cells. They are hollow libers of about 25 nm diameter made up of 13 protofilaments, each of which consists of a chain of heterodimers of α-and β-tubulin. Microtubules can be assembled in vitro at 37°C in the presence of GTP which is hydrolyzed during the reaction, and they are disassembled at 4°C. In contrast to most other polymers microtubules show the behavior of “dynamic instability”, i.e. they can switch between phases of growth and phases of shrinkage, even at an overall steady state [1]. In certain conditions an entire solution can be synchronized, leading to autonomous oscillations in the degree of assembly which can be observed by X-ray scattering (Fig. 1), light scattering, or electron microscopy [2-5]. In addition such solutions are capable of generating spontaneous spatial patterns [6].In an earlier study we have analyzed the structure of microtubules and their cold-induced disassembly by cryo-EM [7]. One result was that disassembly takes place by loss of protofilament fragments (tubulin oligomers) which fray apart at the microtubule ends. We also looked at microtubule oscillations by time-resolved X-ray scattering and proposed a reaction scheme [4] which involves a cyclic interconversion of tubulin, microtubules, and oligomers (Fig. 2). The present study was undertaken to answer two questions: (a) What is the nature of the oscillations as seen by time-resolved cryo-EM? (b) Do microtubules disassemble by fraying protofilament fragments during oscillations at 37°C?

The polymerization kinetics of isoprene (2-methyl-1,3-butadiene) in benzene with butyllithium as the initiator was investigated by the gas chromatographic method. After completion of the initial period of the reaction, its order with respect to the initial concentration of initiator is negative at the concentrations of the latter between 0.01 and 0.25 mol/l, and positive at higher concentrations. A reaction scheme has been suggested with respect to the "cross" association of butyllithium and of the "living" oligoisoprene.

The author derived theoretical dependences of preasymptotic slopes of the currentless E-t curves (potential of an indicator redox electrode against time) on the number of equivalents, n, of added oxidation agent, assuming a reaction scheme of two consecutive concurrent second-order reactions involving the formation of intermediate products ( a side reaction of the starting compound with the final oxidation product leading to an adduct, which undergoes consecutive bimolecular oxidations leading again to the final product). The dependences enable to determine the type of the relatively stable intermediate products and the ratios of the rate constants. The theory was applied to the oxidation of four symmetrically disulphonated naphthidines with cerium(IV) sulphate in aqueous sulphuric acid and the results were substantiated spectrophotometrically

The effect of small additions of 1-octene, butyl ethyl ether and triethylamine on the polymerization kinetics of isoprene (2-methyl-1,3-butadiene) in benzene initiated with butyllithium was investigated by employing the GLC analysis. The addition of 1-octane was reflected only in a shorter induction period of the reaction; the effect on the propagation rate was insignificant. With the increasing amount of butyl ethyl ether, the polymerization rate increases linearly, while the reaction order with respect to the concentration of triethylamine is variable and increases from 0.33 to 0.66 with the increasing concentration of the initiator. For a constant concentration of triethylamine, the reaction order with respect to the initial concentration of the initiator was found to vary considerably, reaching even negative values. A reaction scheme was suggested, taking into account the competition between two different solvates of alkyllithium.

Aqueous thermal polymerization of acrylonitrile (AN) initiated by peroxomonosulphate (HSO5-, PMS)-thiolactic acid (TLA) and PMS-thiomalic acid (TMA) redox systems has been carried out in the temperature range 30-50 °C. The effect of concentration of monomer, initiator, reducing agent, H+, and ionic strength on rate of polymerization, Rp, has been investigated under deaerated conditions. The Rp has been found to depend on, Rp ~ [AN]01.5 [PMS]0.5 [TLA]0.5 in PMS-TLA system and, Rp ~ [AN]02.0 [PMS]1.0 [TMA]0 in PMS-TMA system. The degree of polymerization (Xn) values and thermodynamic parameters have been evaluated. Suitable reaction scheme has been proposed and expressions for Rp and Xn have been obtained.

Intramolecular interactions are shown to be key for favoring a given structure in systems with a variety of conformers. In ortho-substituted benzene derivatives including a beryllium moiety, beryllium bonds provide very large stabilizations with respect to non-bound conformers and enthalpy differences above one hundred kJ·mol−1 are found in the most favorable cases, especially if the newly formed rings are five or six-membered heterocycles. These values are in general significantly larger than hydrogen bonds in 1,2-dihidroxybenzene. Conformers stabilized by a beryllium bond exhibit the typical features of this non-covalent interaction, such as the presence of a bond critical point according to the topology of the electron density, positive Laplacian values, significant geometrical distortions and strong interaction energies between the donor and acceptor quantified by using the Natural Bond Orbital approach. An isodesmic reaction scheme is used as a tool to measure the strength of the beryllium bond in these systems in terms of isodesmic energies (analogous to binding energies), interaction energies and deformation energies. This approach shows that a huge amount of energy is spent on deforming the donor–acceptor pairs to form the new rings.

We consider a two-step Sal’nikov reaction scheme occurring within a compressible viscous gas. The first step of the reaction may be either endothermic or exothermic, while the second step is strictly exothermic. Energy may also be lost from the system due to Newtonian cooling. An asymptotic solution for temperature perturbations of small amplitude is presented using the methods of strained coordinates and multiple scales, and a travelling wave solution with a sech-squared profile is derived. The method of lines is then used to approximate the full system with a set of ordinary differential equations, which are integrated numerically to track accurately the evolution of the reaction front. This numerical method is used to verify the asymptotic solution and investigate behaviours under different conditions. Using this method, temperature waves progressing as pulsatile fronts are detected at appropriate parameter values.

A classification and characterization of the solid isopolytungstates obtainable from acidified aqueous solutions is given and the relation of the solid isopolytungstates to the isopolytungstate ions in the corresponding solutions is studied. As distinguished from the molybdate system all the polytungstate ions forming a solid exist in solution as well. The reasons for the non-occurrence of insoluble solids of species absent from solution are discussed. For setting up a reaction scheme on the polytungstates only very few of the large number of papers on this subject give evidentiary informations.

Abstract The reactions of diluted aqueous solutions of SO2 resp. HSO3-ions with MnO4-or Ce4+ ions in the pH range 1-4 produce chemiluminescence in the spectral region of 450-600 nm. Measurements of the time course of the light emission and their simulation on an analog computer led to a reaction scheme in which a recombination product of primarily formed HSO3 radicals -of a lifetime of about 1 second -appears as precursor of electronically excited SO2 molecules. The participation of singlet oxygen can be excluded because at least the reaction with Ce4+ ions proceeds also in the absence of oxygen.
