Data from two assay systems show that the kinetics of the hydrolysis of cytidine 2′:3′-cyclic monophosphate by bovine pancreatic RNAase (ribonuclease) is not consistent with conventional models. An allosteric model involving a substrate-dependent change in the equilibrium between two enzyme conformations is proposed. Such a model gives rise to a calculated curve of velocity versus substrate concentration which fits the experimental data. The model is also consistent with the results of an examination of the tryptic digestion of RNAase. Substrate analogues are able to protect RNAase against hydrolysis by trypsin and the percentage of RNAase activity which remains after digestion increases sigmoidally as the analogue concentration is increased. The model also explains the pattern seen in the Km values quoted in the literature and is consistent with strong physical evidence for a ligand-induced conformational change for RNAase reported in the literature.

By using a conductometric method, the kinetics of the basic hydrolysis of benzyl benzoate in water-alcohol medium has been investigated. The second order rate constant follows the equation K = A exp {-E/RT} with A = 1.35·1010 l mol-1 min-1 and E = 14.5 kcal mol-1. A reaction mechanism is postulated, which is consistent with the experimental data.

Evidence is presented from three experimental systems to support the allosteric model of Walker et al. (1975) (Biochem. J. 147, 425-433) which explains the substrate-concentration-dependent transition observed in the RNAase (ribonuclease)-catalysed hydrolysis of 2‘:3’-cyclic CMP (cytidine 2‘:3’-cyclic monophosphate). 1. Kinetic studies of the initial rate of hydrolysis of 2‘:3’-cyclic CMP show that the midpoint of the transition shifts to lower concentrations of 2‘:3’-cyclic CMP in the presence of the substrate analogues 3′-CMP, 5′-CMP, 3′-AMP, 3′-UMP and Pi; 2′-CMP and 2′-UMP do not cause such a shift. 2. Trypsin-digestion studies show that a conformational change in RNAase to a form less susceptible to tryptic inactivation is induced in the presence of the substrate analogues 3′-CMP, 5′-CMP, 3′-AMP, and 3′-UMP. 2′-CMP, 2′-AMP and 2′-UMP do not induce this conformational change. 3. Equilibrium-dialysis experiments demonstrate the multiple binding of molecules of 3′-CMP, 3′-AMP and 5′-AMP to a molecule of RNAase. 2′-CMP binds the ratio 1:1 over the analogue concentration range studied.

Temperature dependence of kinetics of non-catalyzed hydrolysis of substituted 3-(N-methylcarbamoyl)-1,3-diphenyltriazines has been measured. An optimized calculation method has been suggested for calculation of the isokinetic temperature and the experimental data have been evaluated. In all the cases it has been found that the hypothesis of common intersection of the straight lines log k vs1/T is rejected at the significance level α = 0.05, but, within approximate validity of the isokinetic hypothesis the isokinetic relation can be considered to be fulfilled in the given reaction series. The change of the reaction constant ρ connected with the change of the reaction mechanism shows a statistically significant correspondence with the change of the isokinetic temperature.

Kinetic data of 1-pentanol dehydration on γ-alumina catalyst modified by potassium hydroxide were obtained using a continuous reactor with an internal recirculation. The conversion of 1-pentanol on this catalyst in the temperature range 300 - 390 °C and space velocity 1 - 8 kg (h kg)-1 (molar fraction of water in the feed was in the range 0 - 0.56) was 50 - 98% and the selectivity with respect to 1-pentene was 50 - 84%. The following six reactions have been taken into account to describe the catalytic dehydration of 1-pantanol: direct formation of 1-pentene from 1-pentanol, formation of bis(1-pentyl) ether from 1-pentanol, disproportionation of the ether to 1-pentanol and 1-pentene, formation of 1-pentene from the ether, isomerization of 1-pentene to 2-pentene and hydrolysis of the ether to 1-pentanol. Treatment of experimental data by Langmuir-Hinshelwood models showed that the model involving adsorption of 1-pentanol accompanied by dissociation is the most suitable one.

Chitosan is a polymer that can be used as adsorbent material. In this work, chitosan was synthesized via alkaline hydrolysis of chitin. The chemical structure was characterized by IR spectroscopy and the degree of deacetylation (% DG) of the acetamido groups present in the polymer matrix by neutralization titration. The most suitable adsorption model for analysis of experimental data was Langmuir. The maximum adsorption capacity of the microspheres (Ns) of chitosan was 3.36 x 10-6 mol g-1 adsorbent. The rate of adsorption is governed by the kinetics of the pseudo-second order, where the saturation of adsorption sites occurred after two hours of contact between the adsorbent and the adsorbate. By analyzing data across the isotherm model Dubinin-Radushkevich (DR) it was found that this process adsorption is physical in nature.

This study focuses on kinetics of straw hydrolysis using sulfuric acid catalyst to produce fermentable sugars. The result shows the degradation of sugars is encountered during the hydrolysis of straw biomass. A consecutive first-order reactions kinetic model is proposed and the kinetic model well agrees with the experimental data. It turns out that rate of sugar formation and degradation is small at lower experimental temperature. The reactions rates constant k1 including the formation of sugar begins to increase rapidly when the Fe2+concentration increases from 0.125 to 0.500molL-1. However, the rate constant k2 relevant with the degradation of sugar varies unsensibly below 0.375molL-1 Fe2+and it is accelerated as the Fe2+concentration increases to 0.500molL-1. Thus the optimum yield is obtained at 0.375molL-1 Fe2+concentration.

Kinetics of alkaline hydrolysis of methyl hydrogen malonate in water-methanol, water-dioxane, water-tert-butyl alcohol and water-ethylene glycol mixtures was examined. The valuse of the transfer functions of the activated complex δmμ≠ from water to the first two mixed media were calculated from the measured solubilities of tetrabutylammonium hydrogen malonate, the activation Gibbs energies and the known values of transfer functions for tetrabutylammonium and hydroxide ions. Some conclusions concerning the effect of a nonaqueous component of the solvent on solvation of the reactants and the activated complex have been drawn from the experimental data obtained.
