The oxidation of cyclohexanol to cyclohexanone by ferricyanide in alkaline aqueous solutions is catalysed by the addition of chlororuthenium compounds. In solutions of pH less than 11 the progress of the reaction is limited by the decomposition of the catalyst in its reduced state. The catalyst lifetime can be lengthened by an increase in the concentration of the ferricyanide oxidant. In solutions of pH 11.3-11.9 either of the oxidation or the reduction steps of the catalytic cycle can be made rate determining, by adjustment of the relative concentrations of cyclohexanol and ferricyanide . The decrease in rate with increase in pH is due to the pH dependence of the reaction of the oxidized catalyst. The rate constant decreases from 26 to 15 dm3 mol-1 s-l between pH 11.3 and 11.9. The rate constant for the ferricyanide oxidation of the reduced catalyst is pH-independent at (6 � 2)×102 dm3 mol-1 s-1 at 298 K, over the same pH range.

Oxidation of Ni2+,aq, by S2O82- to nickel(IV) in the presence of molybdate ion, as in the analogous manganese system, involves the formation of the soluble heteropolymolybdate anion [MMogO32]2- (M = Ni, Mn ). The nickel(IV) product crystallized as (NH4)6 [NiMogO32].6H2O from the reaction mixture in the rhombohedra1 space group R3, a 15.922(1), c 12.406(1) � ; the structure was determined by X-ray diffraction methods, and refined to a residual of 0.025 for 1741 independent 'observed' reflections. The kinetics of the oxidation were examined at 80 C over the pH range 3.0-5.2; a linear dependence on [S2O82-] and a non-linear dependence on l/[H+] were observed. The influence of variation of the Ni/Mo ratio between 1:10 and 1:25 on the observed rate constant was very small at pH 4.5, a result supporting the view that the precursor exists as the known [NiMo6O24H6]4- or a close analogue in solution. The pH dependence of the observed rate constant at a fixed oxidant concentration (0.025 mol dm-3) fits dequately to the expression kobs = kH [H+]/(Ka+[H+]) where kH = 0.0013 dm3 mol-1 s-1 and Ka = 4-0x10-5. The first-order dependence on peroxodisulfate subsequently yields a second-order rate constant of 0.042 dm3 mol-1 s-1. Under analogous conditions, oxidation of manganese(II) occurs eightfold more slowly than oxidation of nickel(II), whereas oxidation of manganese(II) by peroxomonosulfuric acid is 16-fold faster than oxidation by peroxodisulfate under similar conditions.

The reaction of elastase with trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid was investigated in the pH range 9–12. Elastase was found to be inactivated by 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid. The pH dependence of the pseudo first-order inactivation rate constant showed a pK of 10.3 and gave a Hill plot coefficient of 1.15. Trinitrophenol did not inactivate the enzyme. These results indicate that the inactivation is due to the covalent reaction of trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid with a single group in the enzyme. This group is not the N-terminal since the loss of N-terminal valine was considerably slower than the loss of activity at pH 10.5. The inactivation of elastase with 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene also showed no correlation with the loss of the N-terminal. When the enzyme was exhaustively treated and fully inactivated with trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid at pH 10.5, the N-terminal valine and two out of three lysine residues were trinitrophenylated. No evidence for the loss of histidine was found. One of the tyrosine residues may be trinitrophenylated as judged from the molar extinction of the trinitrophenylated protein, but it has not been possible to isolate a trinitrophenylated tyrosine-containing peptide. The results can be interpreted in one of two ways: (a) trinitrophenylation of a group with a pK of 10.3, not involved in the activity, inactivates because the introduction of the trinitrophenyl residue causes a denaturation of the enzyme; or (b) a group with a pK of 10.3 controls the active conformation of the enzyme. The results do not exclude the possibility that the N-terminal plays an important role in the activity of the enzyme. Below pH 10.5 the reactivity of the N-terminal is low, indicating that it is buried.At pH 9.0 only the ε-amino group of lysine in position 224 reacted with trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid and full activity was retained. The second-order rate constant for the trinitrophenylation of this group was 25 times higher than that of the ε-amino group of the α-N-benzoyllysine.

The kinetics of the oxidation of iodide ion by horseradish peroxidase compound II have been studied as a function of pH at 25° and ionic strength of 0.11. The logarithm of the second-order rate constant decreases linearly from 2.3 × 105 to 0.1 M−1 s−1 with increasing pH over the pH range 2.7 to 9.0. The pH dependence of the reaction is explained in terms of an acid dissociation outside the pH range of the study.

1. Evidence is presented for the presence of a stable ubisemiquinone pair in the vicinity of iron-sulphur centre S-3, based on its thermodynamic and spin relaxation properties. 2. These semiquinones are coupled by dipolar interaction; quantitative analysis of the signals of the spin-coupled semiquinones (at pH 7.4) gives midpoint redox potentials E1 (oxidized to semiquinone state) and E2 (semiquinone to fully reduced state) of 140 and 80mV, respectively, for individual ubiquinones. 3. Values of pKS (pK of the semiquinone form) below 6.5 and pKR (pK of the fully reduced ubiquinone) of about 8.0 or above were estimated from the pH-dependence of the midpoint potentials of the spin coupled signals. Thus the ubisemiquinone associated with succinate dehydrogenase (designated as SQS) functions mostly in the anionic form of the physiological pH range. 4. Theonyltrifluoroacetone, a specific inhibitor of the succinate-ubiquinone reductase segment of the respiratory chain, destabilized the intermediate redox state; thus it quenches both the g = 2.00 signal and ubisemiquinone (SQS) and split signals from the spin coupled pair. This inhibitor has no significant effect on another bound ubisemiquinone species present in the cytochrome bc1 region (designated as SQC). 5. The possible function and location of these stabilized ubisemiquinone species were discussed in connection with Site-II energy transduction.

Electrochemical oxidation of [V(IV)O(nta)(H2O)]- (H3nta nitrilotriacetic acid) was studied in aqueous solution by means of cyclic voltammetry, differential pulse polarography, and current sampled DC polarography on mercury as electrode material. In the pH-range under study (5.5-9.0) the corresponding V(V) complex is produced by one-electron oxidation of the parent V(IV) species. The oxidation product is stable within the time scale of cyclic voltammetry. The evaluation of the pH-dependence of the half-wave potentials leads to a pKa value for [V(IV)O(nta)(H2O)]- which is in a good agreement with previous determinations. The measured value for E1/2 is very close to the formal potential E0 calculated via the Nernst equation on the basis of known literature values for log Kox and log Kred, the complex stability constants for the oxidized and reduced form, respectively.

AbstractA potentiometric titration method (PT) and a stopped-flow kinetic technique monitored by a UV−Vis spectroscopy have been used to characterize the stability of series of Co(II)- and Ni(II)-thiodiacetato complexes, M(TDA), in the presence of 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) or 2,2’-bipyridine (bipy) in aqueous solutions. The stability constants of the binary (1:1), ternary (1:1:1) as well as the resulting hydroxo complexes were evaluated and compared to the corresponding oxydiacetate complexes. Based on the species distribution as a function of pH the relative predominance of the species in the system over a pH range was discussed. Furthermore, the kinetic measurements of the substitution reactions of the aqua ligands to phen or bipy in the coordination sphere of the binary complexes M(TDA) were performed in the 288–303 K temperature range, at a constant concentration of phen or bipy and at seven different concentrations of the binary complexes (0.2–0.5 mM). The kinetic stability of the M(TDA) complexes was discussed in relation to the experimental conditions and the kind of the auxiliary ligands (phen/bipy). Moreover, the influence of the type of primary ligand (thiodiacetate/oxydiacetate) on the substitution rate of the auxiliary ligands was also compared.

Two new alkylating reagents, chloro- and bromo-acetylphosphonate, were found to be very effective thiol-blocking reagents. The pH-dependence of the reaction of BAP with 2,4-dinitrothiophenol (25 degrees C, I 0.5) shows a tailing bell-shaped curve (with a plateau at high pH) characteristic of two ionizing groups: the thiol group (pKa 3.2) and the phosphonate group (pKa2 4.6). The rate constant for the reaction of the monoanionic inhibitor with dinitrothiophenolate (k2 = 7 M-1.s-1) is 120 times larger than that of the dianionic species. The haloacetylphosphonates were found to be irreversible inhibitors of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase from a variety of sources. They react with the active-site thiol group (Cys-149) and are half-site reagents with yeast glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. Thus, when two of the identical four subunits are modified the enzyme is catalytically inactive. The effects of pH (7-10), 2H2O and NAD+ on the reaction with the yeast enzyme were examined in detail. NAD+ enhances the alkylation rates. The second-order rate constant does not show a simple sigmoidal dependence on pH but rather a tailing bell-shaped curve (pKa 7.0 and 8.4) qualitatively similar to that obtained with dinitrothiophenol. There is no significant solvent isotope effect on the limiting rate constants and a normal isotope effect on the two pKa values. The results are consistent with the more reactive enzyme species containing a thiolate and an acidic group that may either donate a proton to the dianionic haloacetylphosphonate or orient the inhibitor.

Abstract The reactions of diluted aqueous solutions of SO2 resp. HSO3-ions with MnO4-or Ce4+ ions in the pH range 1-4 produce chemiluminescence in the spectral region of 450-600 nm. Measurements of the time course of the light emission and their simulation on an analog computer led to a reaction scheme in which a recombination product of primarily formed HSO3 radicals -of a lifetime of about 1 second -appears as precursor of electronically excited SO2 molecules. The participation of singlet oxygen can be excluded because at least the reaction with Ce4+ ions proceeds also in the absence of oxygen.
