Ebulliometric studies have been made on the hydrolysis of some zirconium alkoxides, Zr(OR)4 where R = Et, Prn, Bui, and Bun. The variation of the degree of polymerization of the zirconium oxide alkoxides so produced was determined as a function of the degree of hydrolysis. The results are interpreted in terms of structural models based on octahedrally 6-co-ordinated zirconium.

The hydrolysis of tantalum pentaethoxide has been studied in boiling benzene and in boiling ethanol. Soluble tantalum oxide ethoxides were obtained over a considerable range of hydrolysis. Infrared studies suggest that Ta—OH groups are absent in these products. Ebulliometric studies have shown that the number-average degree of polymerization varies with the degree of hydrolysis in a characteristic manner and this has been quantitatively explained in terms of fundamental structural models based on octahedrally 6-co-ordinated tantalum.

The hydrolysis of zirconium alkoxides with secondary or tertiary alkoxide groups Zr(OR)4, where R = Pri, Bus, Bul, and Amt, has been studied. The relatively low polymers formed by the metal oxide alkoxides have been interpreted on the basis of structural models involving octahedrally 6-co-ordinated zirconium.

Ebulliometric studies on the hydrolysis of tantalum pentaalkoxides Ta(OR)5, where R = Me, Prn, Bun, and Bus, have furnished important data on the polymeric nature of tantalum oxide alkoxides. It is shown from the variation of number-average degrees of polymerization as a function of degree of hydrolysis that the polymers conform to certain structural models. The structural models involve 6-co-ordinated tantalum.

Tetrakis-(trimethylsilyloxy)-titanium Ti(OSiMe3)4 has been hydrolyzed under controlled conditions in dioxane. The initial products of hydrolysis undergo facile disproportionation, e.g. 3Ti2O(OSiMe3)6 → 4Ti(OSiMe3)4 + polymeric Ti2O3(OSiMe3)2. Molecular weight determinations were made on the titanium oxide trimethylsilyloxide polymers (polytrimethylsiloxanotitanoxanes) obtained by thermal disproportionation. Structures have been suggested for the polymers on the basis of the variation of number-average degree of polymerization with the degree of hydrolysis.

The average degree of polymerization [Formula: see text] depends on the average degree of hydrolysis [Formula: see text] as[Formula: see text] over a large range of [Formula: see text] for all metal oxide alkoxides and oxide trialkylsilyloxides that have been formed by hydrolysis and examined in solution. A number of general theoretical models are developed which permit quantitative interpretation of the parameters a and b. Mixtures of linear or branched chains in proportions governed wholly or partly by the degree of polymerization of the unhydrolyzed alkoxide can explain all the data on oxide alkoxides in solution in their corresponding alcohol, and the model leads to a plausible mechanism for disproportionation. Similar models with more complex structure can be involved in the metal oxide trialkylsilyloxides. Heterogeneity in the composition of the repeating units or in the number of metal–oxygen–metal bridges between successive repeating units can also be significant for both oxide alkoxides and oxide trialkylsilyloxides. Models involving cyclic chains are possible, but steric effects make them improbable in many cases. Mixtures of chains with equal average degrees of hydrolysis for each type of chain have been assumed in previous analyses, but are shown to be special cases of the more general model.

A polarographic study of the hydrolysis of [8-lysine]vasopressin and some hormonogens of the vasopressin series with the blood serum of women in the last week of pregnancy was studied. The dependence of hydrolysis on pH (pH optimum: 7.4-7.50, substrate concentration (Km 1.2 . 10-5M), pH stability and thermal stability were determined. The rate of hydrolysis of individual vasopressin analogues decreases in the order: [8-lysine]vasopressin > Nα-glycyl-prolyl[8-lysine]-vasopressin > Nα-leucyl-[8-lysine]vasopressin > Nα-alanyl-[8-lysine]vasopressin > Nα-phenyl alanyl-[8-lysine]vasopressin > Nα-diglycyl-[8-lysine]vasopressin > Nα-prolyl-[8-lysine]vasopressin > Nα-triglycyl-[8-lysine]vasopressin > Nα-sarcosyl-glycyl-[8-lysine]vasopressin. The degree of hydrolysis gradually increases to a multiple with the length of the pregnancy in consequence of the presence of oxytocine. However, vasopressin is also hydrolysed to a small extent with the enzymes from the blood sera of non-pregnant women. Under similar analytical conditions oxytocin was not hydrolysed with the sera of non-pregnant women and therefore oxytocin is a more suitable substrate than vasopressin for polarographic determination of serum oxytocinase.

AbstractStudies on the interaction of biomolecules with inorganic compounds, mainly mineral surfaces, are of great concern in identifying their role in chemical evolution and origins of life. Metal oxides are the major constituents of earth and earth-like planets. Hence, studies on the interaction of biomolecules with these minerals are the point of concern for the study of the emergence of life on different planets. Zirconium oxide is one of the metal oxides present in earth's crust as it is a part of several types of rocks found in sandy areas such as beaches and riverbeds, e.g. pebbles of baddeleyite. Different metal oxides have been studied for their role in chemical evolution but no studies have been reported about the role of zirconium oxide in chemical evolution and origins of life. Therefore, studies were carried out on the interaction of ribonucleic acid constituents, 5′-CMP (cytidine monophosphate), 5′-UMP (uridine monophosphate), 5′-GMP (guanosine monophosphate) and 5′-AMP (adenosine monophosphate), with zirconium oxide. Synthesized zirconium oxide particles were characterized by using vibrating sample magnetometer, X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy. Zirconia particles were in the nanometre range, from 14 to 27 nm. The interaction of zirconium oxide with ribonucleic acid constituents was performed in the concentration range of 5 × 10−5–300 × 10−5 M. Interaction studies were carried out in three mediums; acidic (pH 4.0), neutral (pH 7.0) and basic (pH 9.0). At neutral pH, maximum interaction was observed. The interaction of zirconium oxide with 5′-UMP was 49.45% and with 5′-CMP 67.98%, while with others it was in between. Interaction studies were Langmurian in nature. Xm and KL values were calculated. Infrared spectral studies of ribonucleotides, metal oxide and ribonucleotide–metal oxide adducts were carried out to find out the interactive sites. It was observed that the nitrogen base and phosphate moiety of ribonucleotides interact with the positive charge surface of metal oxide. SEM was also carried out to study the adsorption. The results of the present study favour the important role of zirconium oxide in concentrating the organic molecules from their dilute aqueous solutions in primeval seas.

Based on single factor analysis for the enzymatic hydrolysis of whey protein, papain was selected as the optimal enzyme and its enzymatic hydrolysis conditions were optimized by the quadratic regression orthogonal rotary test. The orthogonal regression model for degree of hydrolysis (DH) to three factors including temperature (X1), time (X2), enzyme dosage (X3) was established as follow: DH=10.40+0.22X1+0.30X2+1.31X3+0.019X1X2+0.011X1X3-0.039X2X3-0.39X12-0.16X22-0.40X32, Verification test showed a DH of 11.7% was obtained at the optimal hydrolysis condition of 56.6°C, 113.8 min and enzyme 8213.7 U /g protein, which basically consisted with the model theoretical value.

Enzymatic hydrolysates of honeybee-collected pollen were prepared using food-grade proteinase and aminopeptidases entirely of plant origin. Bromelain from pineapple stem was applied (8 mAU/g substrate) in the first hydrolysis stage. Aminopeptidase (0.05 U/g substrate) and proline iminopeptidase (0.03 U/g substrate) from cabbage leaves (Brassica oleracea var. capitata), and aminopeptidase (0.2 U/g substrate) from chick-pea cotyledons (Cicer arietinum L.) were involved in the additional hydrolysis of the peptide mixtures. The degree of hydrolysis (DH), total phenolic contents, and protein contents of these hydrolysates were as follows: DH (about 20–28%), total phenolics (15.3–27.2 μg/mg sample powder), and proteins (162.7–242.8 μg/mg sample powder), respectively. The hydrolysates possessed high antiradical scavenging activity determined with DPPH (42–46% inhibition). The prepared hydrolysates of bee-collected flower pollen may be regarded as effective natural and functional dietary food supplements due to their remarkable content of polyphenol substances and significant radical-scavenging capacity with special regard to their nutritional-physiological implications.
