Uridine Diphosphate Galactose

The inhibition of lactose synthetase A protein by p-hydroxymercuribenzoate at pH7.5 and 25°C, which involves the reaction of one molecule of inhibitor with each molecule of enzyme, was decreased in rate by UDP-galactose, especially in the presence of Mn2+. Pseudo-first-order rate constants for the reaction between 0.1mm-p-hydroxymercuribenzoate and free enzyme, the enzyme–UDP-galactose complex and the enzyme–Mn2+–UDP-galactose complex were 4.4×10−2, 1.9×10−2 and 0.3×10−2min−1 respectively. The results also indicated that dissociation constants for UDP-galactose in the enzyme–UDP-galactose and enzyme–Mn2+–UDP-galactose complexes were 313 and 16μm respectively, the latter value being similar to the Km for UDP-galactose in the lactose synthetase reaction. The protective effect of UDP-galactose and the role of Mn2+ ions in lactose synthetase are discussed.

The kinetics of TBBPA degradation by ozonation in semi-batch reactor was studied. The reaction rate constants of TBBPA with O3 and •OH were measured by means of direct ozone attack and competition kinetics, and the values of which were 6.10 l/(mol•s), 4.8×109 l/(mol•s), respectively. Results of kinetic studies showed that TBBPA degradation by ozonation under the different conditions tested followed the pseudo-first-order. The values of apparent rate constant of TBBPA degradation increased with the increase of ozone dosage and pH, but decreased with the increase of initial TBBPA concentration.

Rates of oxidation of aqueous o-, and p-hydroxyacetophenone with alkaline hydrogen peroxide to yield catechol and hydroquinone, respectively, have been followed spectrophotometri-cally. Both ketones showed smooth pseudo first-order behaviour, the ortho isomer yielding rate constants in the range 2.6 to 6.6 × 10−2 min−1 at 0 °C, and the para isomer of 0.73 to 7.10 × 10−2 min−1 at 35 °C for the concentrations of hydrogen peroxide and base used. The order in hydrogen peroxide was, unexpectedly, found to be 1.4. A simple test established that this fractional order was probably not the result of hydrogen peroxide involvement in simultaneous first- and second-order processes of differing rates. Other plausible pathways to explain this are proposed.

Abstract We describe a simple, highly reproducible kinetic technique for precisely measuring temperature in spectrophotometric systems having reaction cells that are inaccessible to conventional temperature probes. The method is based on the temperature dependence of pseudo-first-order rate constants for the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of N-o-tolyl-D-glucosylamine. Temperatures of reaction cuvette contents are measured with a precision of +/- 0.05 degrees C (1 SD).

The fate of exogenous ganglioside GM1 labelled in the sphingosine moiety, [Sph-3H]GM1, administered as a pulse, in the isolated perfused rat liver was investigated. When a non-recirculating protocol was employed, the amount of radioactivity in the liver and perfusates was found to be dependent on the presence of BSA in the perfusion liquid and on the time elapsed after the administration of the ganglioside. When BSA was added to the perfusion liquid, less radioactivity was found in the liver and more in the perfusate at each time tested, for up to 1 h. The recovery of radioactivity in the perfusates followed a complex course which can be described by three pseudo-first-order kinetic constants. The constants, in order of decreasing velocity, are interpreted as: (a) the dilution of the labelled GM1 by the constant influx of perfusion liquid; (b) the washing off of GM1 loosely bound to the surface of liver cells; (c) the release of gangliosides from the liver. Process (b) was found to be faster in the presence of BSA, probably owing to the ability of BSA to bind gangliosides. The [Sph-3H]GM1 in the liver underwent metabolism, leading to the appearance of products of anabolic (GD1a, GD1b) and catabolic (GM2, GM3) origin; GD1a appeared before GM2 and GM3 but, at times longer than 10 min, GM2 and GM3 showed more radioactivity than GD1a. At a given time the distribution of the radioactivity in the perfusates was quite different from that of the liver. In fact, after 60 min GD1a was the only metabolite present in any amount, the other being GM3, the quantity of which was small. This indicates that the liver is able to release newly synthesized gangliosides quite specifically. When a recirculating protocol was used, there were more catabolites and less GD1a than with the non-recirculating protocol. A possible regulatory role of ganglioside re-internalization on their own metabolism in the liver is postulated.

The Difference

The reactivity of the phytochrome chromophore and related tetrapyrroles towards ozone and tetranitromethane was investigated. Both oxidizing reagents cause bleaching of the main absorp­tion band of the pigment. The rate constants for this bleaching were determined under conditions of pseudo first order reaction kinetics. The rate constants for the reaction with ozone are similar for native phytochrome and for freely accessible tetrapyrroles (biliverdin, small chromopeptides from phytochrome) indicating that accessibility is not the limiting factor for the reaction with ozone. Under a variety of conditions, the Pfr chromophore reacts by about 10% faster than the Pr chromophore. This may reflect the true difference in reactivity. The rate constants for the reaction with tetranitromethane are much larger for biliverdin, bilirubin and small chromopeptides from phytochrome than for native phytochrome. The limiting factor for this reaction in native phytochrome therefore is the accessibility of the chromophore by the reagent. Previous conclusions on the difference in exposure of the tetrapyrrole chromophore in Pr and Pfr are confirmed.

The pseudo first-order rate constants for the mercury(II)-induced aquation of trans-[Co(Hdmg)2(NH3)Cl] (Hdmg = dimethylglyoximate ion) have been measured in aqueous and aqueous ethanol solutions (ethanol- water mole ratio 1 : 5.1) containing various excess amounts of mercury(II)ion at 273.2 K. Association constants of the complex formed with mercury(II) ion and rate constants for dissociation of the activated complex in both solutions have been calculated. The kinetic results are discussed in terms of formation of an activated complex Co-C1-Hg, followed by a simple rate-determining aquation in which HgCl+ acts as the leaving group.

Rate Controlling Step

The principal reaction of methyl-bis-β-chloroethylamine in methanol is dimerization, which results in one chlorine from each molecule becoming ionic, but this is accompanied by slight alcoholysis. The rate-controlling step is believed to be the first order formation of an ethylenimonium ion which reacts rapidly with one of its kind to form dimer. The rate expression as calculated from initial rate constants is k (initial) = 4.0 × 1013e−19600/RThr.−1.
