New System

A new approach to the study of enzyme activity in organic solvents has been developed by using optically transparent reverse vesicles. Polyphenol oxidase was incorporated in an active form into the above ternary system formed by the non-ionic surfactant tetra(ethylene glycol) dodecyl ether/n-dodecane/water. The enzyme in this microenvironment, surprisingly, showed an apparent positive co-operativity which has never before been described either in aqueous solution or in reverse micelles. In addition, the Vmax. expressed was similar to that in water and twice that displayed in reverse micelles.

The formose reaction in reverse micelles of aerosol-OT (AOT), triton X-100 (TX), and hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) was investigated. Time–conversion data have indicated that the interfacial water layer of AOT reverse micelles is a medium that accelerates formation of glycolaldehyde in the formose reaction. The 13C NMR spectra for the products of the formose reaction using formaldehyde-13C as starting material are indicative of the formation of ethylene glycol as a major product.
