SummaryVarious investigators have separated the coagulation products formed when fibrinogen is clotted with thrombin and identified fibrinopeptides A and B. Two other peaks are observed in the chromatogram of the products of coagulation, but these have mostly been dismissed by other workers. They have been identified by us as amino acids, smaller peptides and amorphous material (37). We have re-chromatographed these peaks and identified several amino acids. In a closed system of fibrinogen and thrombin, the only reaction products should be fibrin and peptide A and peptide B. This reasoning has come about because thrombin has been reported to be specific for the glycyl-arginyl peptide bond. It is suggested that thrombin also breaks other peptide linkages and the Peptide A and Peptide B are attacked by thrombin to yield proteolytic products. Thrombin is therefore probably not specific for the glycyl-arginyl bond but will react on other linkages as well.If the aforementioned is correct then the fibrinopeptides A and B would cause an inhibition with the coagulation mechanism itself. We have shown that an inhibition does occur. We suggest that there is an autoinhibition to the clotting mechanism that might be a control mechanism in the human body.The experiment was designed for coagulation to occur under controlled conditions of temperature and time. Purified reactants were used. We assembled an apparatus to record visually the speed of the initial reaction, the rate of the reaction, and the density of the final clot formed after a specific time.The figures we derived made available to us data whereby we could calculate and plot the information to show the mechanism and suggest that such an inhibition does exist and also further suggest that it might be competitive.In order to prove true competitive inhibition it is necessary to fulfill the criteria of the Lineweaver-Burk plot. This has been done. We have also satisfied other criteria of Dixon (29) and Bergman (31) that suggest true competitive inhibition.

The kinetics of methane-oxidizing bioreactors for the degradation of toxic organics are modeled. Calculations of the fluxes of methane and toxic chlorinated hydrocarbons were made using a biofilm model. The model simulated the effects of competition by toxics and mediane on their enzymatic oxidation by the methane monooxygenase. Dual-competitive-substrate/diffusion kinetics were used to model biofilm co-metabolism, integrating equations of the following form:where S1 and S2 are the local concentrations of methane and toxic compound, respectively, and r and K are the maximum uptake rates and Monod coefficients, and x is the distance into the biofilm.

Kinetics have been studied of the reaction system taking place during the reaction of thiophene on the cobalt-molybdenum catalyst in a gradientless circulation flow reactor at 360 °C and atmospheric pressure. Butane has been found present in a small amount in the reaction products even at very low conversion. In view of this, consecutive and parallel-consecutive (triangular) reaction schemes have been proposed. In the former scheme the appearance of butane is accounted for by rate of desorption of butene being comparable with the rate of its hydrogenation. According to the latter scheme part of the butane originates from thiophene via a different route than through hydrogenation of butene. Analysis of the kinetic data has revealed that the reaction of thiophene should be considered to take place on other active sites than that of butene. Kinetic equations derived on this assumption for the consecutive and the triangular reaction schemes correlate experimental data with acceptable accuracy.

Kinetics of CO methanation on a commercial Ni/SiO2 catalyst was evaluated at atmospheric pressure, between 528 and 550 K and for hydrogen to carbon monoxide molar ratios ranging from 3 : 1 to 200 : 1. The effect of reaction products on the reaction rate was also examined. Below 550 K, only methane was selectively formed. Above this temperature, the formation of carbon dioxide was also observed. The experimental data could be described by two modified Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetic models, based on hydrogenation of surface CO by molecularly or by dissociatively adsorbed hydrogen in the rate-determining step. Water reversibly lowered catalyst activity and its effect was more pronounced at higher temperature.

Abstract The etherification of phenolic groups has been found to inhibit photodegradation in wood and lignin rich pulps. The precise understanding of kinetics of chemical reaction between lignins or their model compounds and the etherifying agent is the first step for developing a viable modification procedure. In this study, we have investigated the reaction of lignin model compounds (namely, phenol and guaiacol) with propylene oxide in aqueous media. The kinetics of etherification reaction was studied under varying pH conditions in the temperature range 30–60°C. The etherified reaction products were characterized by gas chromatogram-mass spectrum (GC-MS). The extent of etherification of phenols and the rate of chemical reaction was followed by UV-Visible absorption spectroscopy. The reaction between lignin model compounds and propylene oxide was indicated by a rapid reduction in the absorbance accompanied by the development of a new band corresponding to etherified products. The reaction kinetics was investigated at pH ∼12 under the condition of excess concentration of propylene oxide. The reaction followed first order kinetics and rate constants increased linearly with an increase in the temperature and concentration of propylene oxide. The MS fragment data of reaction product support the proposed reaction scheme. The activation energy of the reaction of propylene oxide with phenol and guaiacol, calculated with the Arrhenius equation, was 56.2 kJ mol-1 and 45.4 kJ mol-1, respectively.

ABSTRACTStresses are introduced in crystals at interphase boundaries where steps improve the registry of atoms. A model and mathematical analysis based on an approach previously taken by van der Merwe and Shiflet1–4 of the problem incorporating a coherent step are presented. Computed distributions of stresses, strains, dilatation and energy density in the form of contours and nets are given for a coherent monatomic step. It is concluded that the maximum stresses are quite large and the fields decay fairly rapidly with distance from the steps, the gradient of dilatation around steps will significantly affect diffusion kinetics of impurities and the strain energy seems too low to significantly enhance chemical processes.
