Equilibrium study on complex formation of L-histidine with Pb(II), Cd(II), and Hg(II) has been investigated pH metrically in DMSO-water mixtures (0–60% v/v) at 303 K and 0.16 mol L−1 ionic strength. The predominant species detected for Pb(II) and Cd(II) are ML2H4, ML2H3, ML2H2, ML2H, and ML2 and those for Hg(II) are ML2H4, ML2H3, ML2, and ML. The appropriateness of experimental conditions is verified by introducing errors intentionally in the concentrations of ingredients. The models containing different numbers of species were refined by using the computer program MINIQUAD75. The best-fit chemical models were arrived at based on statistical parameters. The trend in variation of stability constants of the complexes with dielectric constant of the medium is attributed to the electrostatic and nonelectrostatic forces. The species distribution and the plausible equilibria for the formation of the species are also presented.

The influence of dioxane and ethanol on the rate of hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl phosphate in the presence of an intestinal alcaline phosphatase can be interpreted as a dielectric constant effect, at high substrate concentration. The dielectric constant effect is a function of the pH of the medium and is maximum around pH 9.4 at 25 °C and pH 9.0 at 15 °C. An interpretation suggesting that the change in diameter of the enzyme molecule becoming an activated complex is minimum at a pH of maximum activity is proposed. The same model can take into account the influence of the ionic strength on the same reaction.

The kinetics of ruthenium(III) catalyzed oxidation of L-valine by permanganate in alkaline medium at a constant ionic strength has been studied spectrophotometrically. The reaction between permanganate and L-valine in alkaline medium exhibits 2:1 stoichiometry (KMnO4:L-valine). The reaction shows first-order dependence on the concentration of permanganate and ruthenium(III) and less than unit-order dependence on the concentrations of L-valine and alkali. The reaction rate increases both with an increase in ionic strength and a decrease in solvent polarity of the medium. Initial addition of reaction products did not significantly affect the rate. A mechanism involving the formation of a complex between catalyst and substrate has been proposed. The activation parameters were computed with respect to the slowest step of the mechanism.Key words: oxidation, L-valine, catalysis, ruthenium(III), kinetics.

Protonation equilibria ofL-proline and L-valine in varying compositions (0.0-60.0% v/v) of 1, 2-Propanediol-water mixtures were investigated pH-metrically. Titrations were performed at 303.0 K and the ionic strength of the medium was maintained at 0.16 mol L-1using sodium chloride. The best fit chemical models of the protonation equilibria were based on crystallographic R-factor, Χ2, skewness, and kurtosis. All the protonation constants of proline and valine increased with increasing propanediol content. This is attributed to the dielectric constant of the medium.

The kinetics of oxidation of glutamic acid (Glu) withN-bromophthalimide (NBP) was studied in perchloric acid medium at 30°C by potentiometric method. The reaction is first order each in NBP and glutamic acid and is negative fractional order in [H+]. Addition of KBr or the reaction product, phthalimide had no effect on the rate. Similarly variation of ionic strength of the medium did not affect the rate of the reaction. Also the rate increased with decrease in dielectric constant of the reaction medium. The thermodynamic parameters were computed from Arrhenius and Eyring plots. A suitable mechanism consistent with the kinetic results has been proposed.
