Etude cinétique du système Cu(II)–adénine
The kinetics of formation and dissociation of Cu(II)–adenine complexes have been studied by stopped flow and relaxation methods.Between pH 3.5 and 5 the formation of Cu(II)•aH is too fast to be measured; formation of Cu(II)•(aH)2 has been studied and rate parameters have been determined. At pH < 3 protonated species make an important contribution to measured reaction rates. In basic media two different complexes have been investigated. The exchange reaction with EDTA proceeds by two parallel reaction paths.The mechanism of these reactions is discussed and compared with that proposed for the Cu(II)–adenosine system.La cinétique de la formation et de la dissociation de divers complexes Cu(II)–adénine a été étudiée par les méthodes de la relaxation thermique et du "flux stoppé".
