Kinetics Of

The kinetics of a branched-pathway mechanism for a simple enzymic reaction were studied. In this mechanism there is reversible formation of an inactive form of the second complex along the pathway. This substrate-induced inactivation typically results in the progress curve showing a burst. Three parameters can be obtained from the progress curve: the initial rate, the final rate and the rate constant characterizing the transient. The rate constant for the conversion of the inactive form of the complex into the active form can be obtained either from these parameters or by measuring the regain of enzymic activity. The partition ratio can also be obtained from the three parameters; this is the ratio of the rate of conversion of complex into product to the rate of conversion of complex into inactive form. Simulations give guidance to the conditions required for accurate determinations of the rate constants.

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.

Vanadium Ion

The kinetics of the oxidation of phenylphosphinic acid by quinquevalent vanadium ion have been investigated in aqueous perchlorate media under pseudo-first order conditions (phenylphosphinic acid in excess). The reaction has a first order dependence in [V(V)] and [phenylphosphinic acid] and the observed pseudo-first order rate constant kobs is given by kobs = a + b[H+].The acid-independent path is considered to be due to the reaction between VO2+ (aq.) and C6H5P:(OH)2, the active form of phenylphosphinic acid, while the reaction between V(OH)32+ (aq.) and C6H5P(O)(OH)H, the inactive form of phenylphosphinic acid, is considered to explain the acid-dependent path. Phenylphosphinic acid in aqueous acidic solution is known to exist as an equilibrium mixture of the active and inactive forms. The composite activation and thermodynamic parameters associated with the constants a and b are reported.

A comparison of the rate constants and activation energies for the hydrolysis of cellobiose, cellotriose, cellotetraose, and cellopentaose by Myrothecium cellulase showed that while the rate constant was increased by a factor of about 450 as the degree of polymerization (D.P.) of the substrate was increased from two to five, the activation energy remained at about 12,000 cal. The results are interpreted, in terms of classical collision theory, as indicating that the increase in rate constant with D.P. is determined by an increase in the steric factor with D.P. Addition of a β-linked sorbityl group to an oligoglucoside increased the rate constant; the increase was less than that from addition of an anhydroglucose unit and, relative to the latter, diminished as the D.P. of the chain undergoing addition was increased. Exposing the enzyme to conditions favoring thermal or surface denaturation caused varying losses in enzymic activity towards the four oligoglucosides; wherever the loss in activity towards one oligoglucoside differed substantially from the loss in activity towards any other oligoglucoside, the greater loss was shown towards the substrate of lower D.P. The results are discussed.

Indirect micromethods were designed for the assay of human renin (lower limit 0.25 times 10-4 U and of antirenin to human renin (lower limit 3 times 10-4 U), with the rat used for the bioassay of the angiotensin produced by the action of renin on renin substrate. This made possible the assay of unusually small amounts (0.01 mu1) of serum for antirenin. The Michaelis-Menten concept of a dissociating complex can be applied to the antireninrenin reaction: the rate constants for the formation and for the breakdown of the complex were k1 equal to 1.65 (ml/U antirenin per min) and k3 equal to 1.97 times 10-3 (U inactivated renin/U antirenin per min), respectively; the apparent Michaelis constant was 12 times 10-4 (U renin/ml). A second method of analysis was also applied by assuming the formation of a rather tight complex, with antirenin functioning as an irreversible inactivator of renin. Both methods of analysis yielded practically the same rate constant (k1 equal to 1.65 and k1 equal to 1.71), but the treatment according to the Michaelis-Menten equation affords a slightly better fit of the experimental data (accuracy equal to plus or minus 15.5 percent) than the second method of calculation (accuracy equal to plus or minus 21.6 percent).

Unlike metal-ion-catalyzed hydrolysis processes, metal-ion-catalyzed methanolysis processes have received scant attention in the literature particularly from the standpoint of mechanistic studies. La3+, introduced into methanol solution as its triflate or perchlorate salt, is particularly effective in promoting methanolysis reactions of unactivated and activated esters, phosphate triesters, and activated amides such as acetyl imidazoles and lactams. Studies of the kinetics of methanolysis of these substrates as a function of solution pH and [La3+] indicate that the solution comprises lanthanum dimers with one to five associated methoxides (La23+(–OCH3)1–5), the most catalytically active form being La23+(–OCH3)2, which is produced at near neutral pH in methanol (8.4). Mechanisms for all the acyl and phosphoryl transfer reactions are proposed where the metal ion serves a dual role of acting as a Lewis acid to activate the C=O or P=O system to nucleophilic attack by a metal-coordinated methoxide nucleophile. In cases where direct comparisons can be made, the La23+ catalyst system is more active for the methanolysis of nonactivated substrates than for activated substrates. Another general characteristic of this system is that the catalytic rate constant for the metal complex exceeds the second-order rate constant for free methoxide, in some cases by as much as 4600-fold. Overall the catalytic effects exhibited by the La23+ system is spectacular for such substrates as paraoxon, where as little as 2 mmol L–1 La(OTf)3 in the presence of equimolar NaOCH3 accelerates the methanolysis by 109-fold relative to the background reaction at neutral pH and ambient temperature.Key words: kinetics of methanolysis, metal ion catalysis, lanthanides, methanolysis of carboxylate esters and phosphate esters.

Methanolysis of acetylimidazole (1) and N-acetylimidazolepentamine-Co(III) (2) was found to be markedly accelerated in the presence of La(OTf)3. Potentiometric titration of a solution of La3+(OTf-)3 gave a pKa for the metal bound CH3OH of 7.22. The kinetics of methanolysis of 1 and 2 were measured at 25°C at various pH under buffered conditions as a function of increasing La3+. Analysis of both the kinetic and potentiometric data indicates that the catalytically active species is a La3+-dimer, bridged by two methoxides, (CH3OH)nLa3+(CH3O-)2La3+(CH3OH)n. The maximum second-order rate constants for attack of the dimer on 1 and 2 are 1.50 × 103 M-1 s-1 and 1.42 × 102 M-1 s-1 respectively and both processes adhere to titration of a La3+(CH3OH) to generate the active form. The results are explained in terms of a mechanism where the methoxy-bridged La3+ dimer transiently breaks a La3+-OCH3 bond to expose both a CH3O- nucleophile and a La3+ which can act as a Lewis acid. Unlike the situation in water, the methanol results indicate that the medium greatly stabilizes and solubilizes the active dimer without the necessity of creating specially designed ligands to stabilize the dinuclear core.Key words: lanthanum ion, catalysis, methanolysis, activated amide.

The kinetics of the inhibition of the autoxidation of several hydrocarbons by a number of zinc dialkyldithiophosphates and by zinc isopropylxanthate and zinc diethyldithiocarbamate have been studied at 30c and at 50c. The oxidations were generally auto-retarding but initial rate measurements showed that these compounds trapped peroxy radicals and allowed rate constants for this process to be calculated. Rate constants for the reaction of t-butylperoxy radicals with these compounds have been measured by a kinetic e.p.r. method in the temperature range 0c to −90c. Extrapolation of the e.p.r. data to the temperatures of the inhibition studies showed that the various experimental procedures yielded results in satisfactory agreement with one another.It is suggested that the reaction of peroxy radicals with zinc complexes involves reaction at the metal center either by an electron transfer or an SH2 process.

Vibrational circular dichoism spectra recorded for (2S,3S)-1-13C-1,2,3-d3-cyclopropane and for mixtures of it and the three related stereoisomers prepared through gas-phase thermal stereomutation reactions at 407°C lead to the rate constant for racemization: kα = (4k1 + 4k12) = (3.12 ± 0.04) x 10-5 s-1. This and the rate constant measured for geometrical equilibration between the two chiral and the two achiral stereoisomers of 1-13C-1,2,3-d3-cyclopropane, ki = (8k1 + 4k12) = (4.63 ± 0.20) x 10-5 s-1, give two equations in two unknowns, and allow one to solve for one-center (k1) and two-center (k12) epimerization rate constants for cyclopropane stereomutations. They are nearly equal, a clear indication of closely competitive reaction pathways.Key words: cyclopropane stereomutations, thermal epimerizations, chirality through deuterium and carbon-13 labeling, vibrational circular dichroism.

Anation Reaction

The kinetics of formation of the monophenanthroline complex of nickel(II) has been studied spectrophotometrically in water–methanol mixtures of 0 to 97 weight % of methanol, at ionic strength 0.050, at varying acidities at 25 °C. Values for the rate constants for the acid independent and acid dependent reactions together with values for the equilibrium acid ionization quotient of phenanthrolium ion over the range of solvent mixtures have been determined. The values of the acid independent rate constant show little dependence on solvent compositions up to 76% methanol, then decrease and show no correlation with trends in the ionization quotient of phenanthrolium ion. The acid dependent rate constant shows only a modest dependence on solvent composition over most of the range of solvent compositions except in the range of highest methanol content where it is not significantly different from zero.
