The paper reports a study of the kinetics of the reaction between phosphoenolpyruvate, ADP and Mg2+catalysed by yeast pyruvate kinase when activated by fructose 1,6-diphosphate and K+. The experimental results indicate that the reaction mechanism is of the Ordered Tri Bi type with the substrates binding in the order phosphoenolpyruvate, ADP and Mg2+. Direct phosphoryl transfer takes place in the quaternary complex, with pyruvate released before MgATP. A dead-end enzyme–pyruvate complex is also indicated. Values have been determined for the Michaelis, dissociation and inhibition constants of the reaction. Several of the rate constants involved have also been evaluated.

The paper reports a study of the kinetics of the reaction between phosphoenolpyruvate, ADP and Mg2+ catalysed by rabbit muscle pyruvate kinase. The experimental results indicate that the reaction mechanism is equilibrium random-order in type, that the substrates and products are phosphoenolpyruvate, ADP, Mg2+, pyruvate and MgATP, and that dead-end complexes, between pyruvate, ADP and Mg2+, form randomly and exist in equilibrium with themselves and other substrate complexes. Values were determined for the Michaelis, dissociation and inhibition constants of the reaction and are compared with values ascertained by previous workers.

The paper reports a study of the reaction between phosphoenolpyruvate, ADP and Mg2+ catalysed by pig liver pyruvate kinase when activated by fructose diphosphate and K+. The experimental results are consistent with two non-sequential mechanisms in which the substrates and products of the reaction are phosphoenolpyruvate, ADP, Mg2+, pyruvate and MgATP. Pyruvate release occurs before ADP binding. Two Mg2+ ions are involved, though the two Mg2+-binding sites cannot be occupied simultaneously. An isomerized enzyme complex forms before release of MgATP. Values were determined for the Michaelis constants of the reaction. Apparent MgATP inhibition constants are also given.

A kinetic study of an ATP–ADP amplification cyclic system involving the enzymes adenylate kinase, pyruvate kinase and l-lactate dehydrogenase has been made. The stoichiometry of the cycle is 2:1, because two molecules of ADP are synthesized from one each of ATP and AMP, and one molecule of ADP is converted back into one of ATP at each turn of the cycle. This results in a continuous exponential increase in the concentrations of ATP and ADP in the reaction medium, according to the equations obtained. This is therefore a substrate cycle that amplifies itself, the cycling rate increasing continuously with time. The background signal of the reagent was reduced by using apyrase to degrade ATP and ADP in the reagent, permitting detection limits as low as 16pmol of ATP and/or ADP in a continuous spectrophotometric assay.

Kinetics of the oxidation of 2-propanol, 1-butanol, and 1-pentanol with tetraalkylammonium permanganates have been investigated as function of temperature. The studied reactions are partly autocatalytic, colloidal manganese dioxide as one of the reaction products has been identified as the autocatalyst.A computerized iterative procedure has been used in order to obtained the rate constants of both non-catalytic and catalytic reaction steps together with the thermodynamic activation parameters.

Abstract Vulcanization of natural rubber with sulfur was studied in presence of six sulfenamides, to determine the effect of the chemical constitution of the sulfenamide on sulfur decrease and on crosslinking. The results can be condensed as follows: (1) The kinetics of sulfur disappearance is in every respect qualitatively independent of the chemical constitution of the sulfenamide. (2) For the sulfenamides investigated, the smallest and largest rate constants for sulfur decrease differed only by a factor of two. (3) Greater differences are encountered in the induction times for sulfur decrease and for crosslinking. The latter are notably longer than those for sulfur disappearance. (4) The same activation energy, 23 kcal/mole, is derived from the temperature dependence of the induction times for all the sulfenamides. (5) The dissociation of sulfenamides in solution and their reaction with mercaptobenzothiazole were investigated further. The results provide the basis for a proposed reaction mechanism, which is presented in detail and can account for a number of the features typical of sulfenamide-accelerated vulcanization. (6) The drop in sulfur concentration goes at practically the same rate, if one introduces, instead of N, N-dicyclohexyl-2-benzothiazolesulfenamide, the corresponding ammonium mercaptide in equimolar concentration.

The kinetics of bromination of the 1,2-dihydro-1,3-dimethyl-2-oxopyrimidinium cation (Q+) in aqueous media (pH 0–5) have been studied using the stopped-flow method. At the higher acidities (pH < 2) the results are consistent with rate determining attack by bromine upon the pseudobase (QOH), whereas at low acidities (pH > 4) it appears that pseudobase formation is rate determining. The change occurs because at high acidity the reversal of the pseudobase QOH to the cation is fast relative to bromine attack, whereas at low acidity the converse is true. Results obtained at intermediate acidities (pH 2–4) are consistent with this interpretation.A separate kinetic study of pseudobase formation (and decomposition) yielded rate constants in good agreement with those derived from the bromination study.

The rate constants for the oxidation of reduced cytochrome c by aquacopper(II) ion, aquachloro- copper(II) ion and aquadichlorocopper(II) were found to be 5.7�0.3 1. mol-1 s-1, 2.3×102 1. mol-1 s-1 and 5.6xl031. mol-1 s-1 respectively at 25�C, ionic strength 0.1 and pH 4.0. At low ratios of aquacopper(II) ion to ferrocytochrome c, when oxygen is required to completely oxidize the cytochrome, the reaction mechanism was found to be complex. No evidence for the involvement of copper bound to the cytochrome was found.

The kinetics of the hydration of propylene oxide was studied using a pressurized batch reactor for both uncatalyzed and heterogeneously catalyzed reactions. Lewatit MonoPlus M500/HCO3 - was used as heterogeneous catalyst, which showed better performance than Dowex Marathon A/HCO3 -. The effects of the parameters, namely internal and external diffusion resistances, temperature, catalyst loading and mole ratios of reactants, on the reaction rate were studied. The uncatalyzed and heterogeneously catalyzed reactions were proven to follow a series-parallel irreversible homogeneous mechanism. The temperature dependencies of the rate constants appearing in the rate expressions were determined.

Rate constants, activation energies, and dissociation constants were determined in a kinetic study of the synthesis and decomposition of a number of N-substituted dithiocarbamates. These data combined with certain spectral evidence are evaluated and reaction mechanisms suggested.

The reaction mechanism was explored at the CCSD(T)/CBS//B3LYP/aug-cc-pVTZ level. Detailed kinetic analysis was firstly carried out using an ME/RRKM rate model with the inclusion of anharmonic and tunneling treatments. 1,3-Cycloaddition is found to be the rate-determining step. Calculated rate constants confirm the latest experimental data.
