The kinetics of the formation of the bidentate monocomplex of 1,10-phenanthroline and nickel (II) have been examined spectrophotometrically at ionic strength 0.5 over the range of temperatures 8 to 37 °C and over the range of hydrogen ion concentrations 0.01 to 0.30 molar. The kinetic behavior over the range of conditions is consistent with that found at 25 °C by Margerum, Bystroff, and Banks. The limiting values for the second-order rate constant for the reaction at high acidities have been assessed and imply associated values of ΔH≠and ΔS≠ of 9.5 kcal mol−1 and −5.3 e.u. respectively.

Total Ionic Strength

The rate of decomposition of dichromate, Cr2O72-, to form chromate, CrO42-, is very dependent upon the choice of cation, and its concentration. At a total ionic strength of 1.0 mol l-1 and at 25.0°C, the second-order rate constant decreases in the order Ca2+ (2600 mol-1 l. s-1) >> K+ + (960) > Na+ (920) >Li+ (700)>> bistet2+ (410) >> Me4N+ (125) >> Et4N+ (35) where bistet2+ is the N,N,N,N',N',N'-hexamethylethylene-1,2-diammonium ion. In the presence of sodium chloride the second-order rate constant increases as the ionic strength increases (200 and 1900 mol-1 l. s-1 at ionic strengths of 0 and 2.7 mol l-1 respectively), whereas in tetramethylammonium chloride a maximum is reached at intermediate ionic strengths. The equilibrium between dichromate and hydrogen chromate is shifted towards the dichromate side in the presence of tetraalkylammonium ions, and towards the hydrogen chromate side in the presence of calcium ion.

In order to investigate the nature of compounds I and II of horseradish peroxidase, the kinetics were studied of ferrocyanide oxidation catalyzed by these compounds which were prepared from three different oxidizing agents. The pH dependence of the apparent second-order rate constant for ferrocyanide oxidation by compound I, prepared from ethyl hydroperoxide and m-chloroperbenzoic acid, was interpreted in terms of an ionization on the enzyme with a pKa = 5.3, identical to that reported previously for hydrogen peroxide. The second-order rate constant for the compound II-ferrocyanide reaction also showed the same pH dependence for the three oxidizing substrates. However, with more accurate results, the compound II-ferrocyanide reaction was reinterpreted in terms of a single ionization with pKa = 8.5. The same dependence of ferrocyanide oxidation on pH suggests structurally identical active sites for compounds I and II prepared from the three different oxidizing substrates.

SummaryA viscosity perturbation method allowed to compute the second order rate constant, k±15 for the formation of thrombin-Protein C complex, both in the absence and presence of thrombomodulin (TM) at pH 8.00 and 37° C. In the absence of TM the second order rate constant was found equal to 7.9 ± 0.6 × 103 M-1 sec-1, whereas it was enhanced to 9.9 ± 0.4 × 104 M-1 s-1 by a saturating (100 nM) TM concentration. Addition of 5 mM Ca++ to solution containing 100 nM TM induced a further increase of k+1 value up to 7.3 ± 0.5 × 105 M-1 s-1. Moreover, it was demonstrated that the thrombin-PC complex undergoes the acy-lation reaction more rapidly than it dissociates to form free thrombin and substrate (stickiness ratio = 2.4 ± 0.9). This tendency is even favored when thrombin is bound to TM both in the absence and presence of Ca++ (stickiness ratio = 9 ± 6 in the absence of Ca++ and 16 ± 10 in the presence of Ca++). Altogether these results demonstrate that TM is able to positively affect both the molecular encounter and the kinetics of the early catalytic events of the thrombin-Protein C interaction.

The kinetics of the reaction of alpha 2-macroglobulin (alpha 2M) with human thrombin were studied by recording the appearance of thiol groups spectrophotometrically and by measuring the distribution of protein species by denaturing non-reducing gel electrophoresis. The goals were to study the relation between the formation of various covalent enzyme-inhibitor complex species and the appearance of free thiol, and from the kinetic analysis, to try to characterize the chemical nature of the protein complexes. The kinetics of thiol-group release were observed to be biphasic, the early phase showing second-order behaviour, results consistent with previous reports in the literature. The observed second-order rate constant for thiol-group release was found to be faster than the second-order rate constant for the disappearance of the band corresponding to native alpha 2M on gel electrophoresis. This may be a reflection of the multiple products formed from the thioester. Alternatively, it is possible that covalent-bond formation is slower than some enzyme-induced change in the thioester centre, and this may be suggestive evidence for a reactive alpha 2M centre that does not contain an intact thioester. The kinetics of covalent-bond formation were found to be consistent with the internal cross-link of several alpha 2M chains by the bound proteinase, providing further evidence that the very-high-Mr species seen on gels may arise from dimers of the alpha 2M molecule held together by covalent bonds to the enzyme.

1. The number of reactive thiol groups in mammalian liver protein disulphide-isomerase (PDI) in various conditions was investigated by alkylation with iodo[14C]acetate. 2. Both the native enzyme, as isolated, and the urea-denatured enzyme contained negligible reactive thiol groups; the enzyme reduced with dithiothreitol contained two groups reactive towards iodoacetic acid at pH 7.5, and up to five reactive groups were detectable in the reduced denatured enzyme. 3. Modification of the two reactive groups in the reduced native enzyme led to complete inactivation, and the relationship between the loss of activity and the extent of modification was approximately linear. 4. Inactivation of PDI by alkylation of the reduced enzyme followed pseudo-first-order kinetics; a plot of the pH-dependence of the second-order rate constant for inactivation indicated that the essential reactive groups had a pK of 6.7 and a limiting second-order rate constant at high pH of 11 M-1.s-1. 5. Since sequence data on PDI show the presence within the polypeptide of two regions closely similar to thioredoxin, the data strongly indicate that these regions are chemically and functionally equivalent to thioredoxin. 6. The activity of PDI in thiol/disulphide interchange derives from the presence of vicinal dithiol groups in which one thiol group of each pair has an unusually low pK and high nucleophilic reactivity at physiological pH.

The kinetics of reduction of ferricytochrome c by hydroquinone have been studied. The reaction does not conform to a simple second-order rate equation and it is demonstrated that the deviations are brought about by the presence of p-quinone, one of the products of the reaction. The accelerating effect of p-quinone is explained tentatively on the basis of an involvement of the semi-quinone. The effects on the reaction of pH, ionic strength, and temperature are reported and used to suggest features of the reaction mechanism.

The kinetics of the reconstitution reaction of apotyrosinase with copper (II) ions are reported. The reaction is pseudo first order with respect to apoenzyme and the values of these pseudo first order rate constants are reported as a function of copper (II) concentration. Two copper ions bind to apoenzyme, and if the second one is rate limiting, the kinetically relevant copper concentration is the copper originally added minus the amount used in binding the first copper ion to enzyme. This modified copper concentration is linearly related to the magnitude of the pseudo first order rate constant, up to a copper concentration of 1.25 × 10−4 M (10-fold excess), giving a second order rate constant of 7.67 × 102 ± 0.93 × 102 M−1∙s−1.Key words: apotyrosinase, copper, tyrosinase.

The kinetics of the hydrogen-ion-independent pathway for the replacement of fluoride in aqueous (NH3)5CoF2+ by H2O have been reinvestigated using a specific fluoride-ion electrode, with due regard for the concomitant autocatalytic loss of the ammine ligands. In perchlorate media of ionic strength 0.1 M, the first-order rate coefficient is 1.22 × 10−6 s−1 at 45°, and the kinetics are represented by ΔH* = 24.4 kcal mole−1 and ΔS* = −9 cal deg−1 mole−1 over the range 35–75° at least. The relationship of these data to those for the aquation of other species of the type ML5Xn+ is discussed.

Abstract Abstract 2211 Introduction: Unfractionated heparin (UFH) is used for the prophylaxis and treatment of thromboembolic diseases. UFH catalyzes inhibition by antithrombin (AT) of the serine proteases in the coagulation cascade. Additionally, UFH has been shown to interact with components of the fibrinolytic pathway in vitro. However UFH has several limitations which impact its utility as a therapeutic agent. Our lab has developed a novel covalent antithrombin-heparin complex (ATH) which inhibits most serine proteases of the coagulation pathway significantly faster when compared to non covalent mixtures of AT and UFH. However, the interactions of ATH with the components of the fibrinolytic pathway have not been studied before. Thus, the present study investigates possible serpin-heparin interactions of AT + UFH vs ATH within the fibrinolytic pathway. Methods: Discontinuous second order rate constant assays under pseudo-first order conditions were carried out to obtain second order rate constant (k2) values for the inhibition of plasmin by AT+UFH versus ATH. Briefly, at specific time intervals 20 nM plasmin was inhibited by 200 nM AT + 0–5000 nM UFH or by 200 nM ATH in the presence of 2.5 mM Ca2+. Reactions were neutralized by the simultaneous addition of a solution containing polybrene and plasmin substrate S-2366™ in buffer. Residual plasmin activity was measured and the final k2 values calculated. For experiments involving tPA, wells containing 40nM tPA and increasing concentrations of AT, UFH or ATH, at mole ratios ranging from 0 to 20:1, were incubated for 15 min. Reactions with tPA were neutralized by simultaneous addition of a solution containing either polybrene and tPA substrate, S-2288™ in buffer, (ATH and UFH) or only the substrate S-2288™ in buffer (AT). Enzyme activity was then determined by measuring rate of substrate cleavage (Vmax). Results: When plasmin was inhibited by AT in the absence of UFH, k2 values of 2.82×105 +/− 4.46×104 M−1 min−1 were observed. The k2 values increased with addition of successively higher concentrations of UFH up to a plateau with maximal k2 of 5.74×106 +/− 2.78×105 M−1 min−1 at a UFH concentration of 3000nM. For inhibition of plasmin by ATH, k2 values of 6.39 × 106 +/− 5.88 × 105 M−1 min−1 were observed. Inhibition of plasmin by ATH was not significantly different when compared to the highest k2 values obtained with UFH. (p=0.36) No statistically significant difference in tPA enzyme activity was observed when Vmax values for tPA alone were compared with those in the presence of AT, UFH or ATH. (p=0.932, p=0.085, p=0.31 respectively) Significance: The characteristic shape of the curve obtained from the k2vs. UFH plot suggests that the mechanism responsible for inhibition of plasmin by AT+UFH involves conformational activation of the serpin. The k2 values in this study for inhibition of plasmin by both AT+UFH and ATH were three orders of magnitude lower than k2 values for inhibition of thrombin or factor Xa. Furthermore these results suggest that tPA is not inhibited by AT + UFH or ATH, and is not influenced by the presence of UFH alone. Cumulatively, this indicates that the fibrinolytic pathway is minimally impacted by AT + UFH or ATH, allowing maximal antithrombotic potential to be achieved during anticoagulation. Overall, the favourable anticoagulant properties of ATH combined with the findings of this study strengthens the utility of the covalent conjugate over conventional UFH for the treatment of thromboembolic disorders.
