1. The deoxyfluoro-d-glucopyranose 6-phosphates are substrates for both yeast and rat liver glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase. 2. The Vmax. values (relative to d-glucose 6-phosphate) were determined for a series of d-glucose 6-phosphate derivatives substituted at C-2. The Vmax. values decreased with increasing electronegativity of the C-2 substituent. This is consistent with a mechanism involving hydride-ion transfer. 3. 2-Deoxy-d-arabino-hexose 6-phosphate (2-deoxy-d-glucose 6-phosphate) showed substrate inhibition with the yeast enzyme but not with the rat liver enzyme. 4. 2-Amino-2-deoxy-d-glucose 6-phosphate (d-glucosamine 6-phosphate) was a substrate for the yeast enzyme but a competitive inhibitor for the rat liver enzyme. 5. Lineweaver–Burk plots for the d-glucose 6-phosphate derivatives with yeast glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase were biphasic.

The oxidation of benzaldehyde by oxo(salen)manganese(v) complexes proceeds via either a hydride-ion transfer or a hydrogen-atom transfer from the aldehyde to the manganese(v) complex.

The dehydrogenation of 1,4-dihydronaphthalene by tetrachloro-p-benzoquinone in phenetole solution has been investigated. The present work does not fully confirm earlier studies which report that the reaction follows second-order kinetics and that the hydride ion transfer is rate determining. In the investigations described in this paper second-order kinetics are only observed in the later stages of the reaction and a 1:1 stoichiometry of the reactants in the process is not obtained. Substitution of tritium in the 1,4-positions of the hydrocarbon appears to not significantly affect the reaction rate. The present results indicate that charge-transfer complexes are formed in the reaction and it is suggested that electron transfer within these complexes could be the rate-determining step in the dehydrogenation.

The oxidation of substituted benzylamines by oxo(salen) Mn(V) complexes, to the corresponding aldimine, proceeds through a hydride ion transfer from the amine to the oxidant.

1. Cytoplasmic acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase was highly purified in good yield from rat liver extracts. 2. Mg2+ inhibits the rate of acetoacetyl-CoA thiolysis but not the rate of synthesis of acetoacetyl-CoA. Measurement of the velocity of thiolysis at varying Mg2+ but fixed acetoacetyl-CoA concentrations gave evidence that the keto form of acetoacetyl-CoA is the true substrate. 3. Linear reciprocal plots of velocity of acetoacetyl-CoA synthesis against acetyl-CoA concentration in the presence or absence of desulpho-CoA (a competitive inhibitor) indicate that the kinetic mechanism is of the Ping Pong (Cleland, 1963) type involving an acetyl-enzyme covalent intermediate. In the presence of CoA the reciprocal plots are non-linear, becoming second order in acetyl-CoA (the Hill plot shows a slope of 1.7), but here this does not imply co-operative phenomena. 4. In the direction of acetoacetyl-CoA thiolysis CoA is a substrate inhibitor, competing with acetoacetyl-CoA, with a Ki of 67μm. Linear reciprocal plots of initial velocity against concentration of mixtures of acetoacetyl-CoA plus CoA confirmed the Ping Pong mechanism for acetoacetyl-CoA thiolysis. This method of investigation also enabled the determination of all the kinetic constants without complication by substrate inhibition. When saturated with substrate the rate of acetoacetyl-CoA synthesis is 0.055 times the rate of acetoacetyl-CoA thiolysis. 5. Acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase was extremely susceptible to inhibition by an excess of iodoacetamide, but this inhibition was completely abolished after preincubation of the enzyme with a molar excess of acetoacetyl-CoA. This result was in keeping with the existence of an acetyl-enzyme. Acetyl-CoA, in whose presence the overall reaction could proceed, gave poor protection, presumably because of the continuous turnover of acetyl-enzyme in this case. 6. The kinetic mechanism of cytoplasmic thiolase is discussed in terms of its proposed role in steroid biosynthesis.
