The kinetics of plasmin inhibition by alpha 2-antiplasmin (alpha 2AP), alpha 2-macroglobulin (alpha 2M) and leupeptin were studied in the presence of fibrin monomer (Fn) and CNBr fragments of fibrinogen (Fg-CNBr). Active plasmin was detected in continuous and discontinuous assays using the chromogenic substrate D-Val-L-Leu-L-Lys p-nitroanilide hydrochloride (S-2251). The two ‘fibrin-like’ preparations functioned as hyperbolic mixed-type inhibitors of S-2251 hydrolysis. The dissociation constants (KF) for the binding of plasmin to Fn and Fg-CNBr were 22 nM and 17 nM respectively. Fn and Fg-CNBr inhibited the reaction of plasmin with alpha 2AP: the extent of inhibition depended on the fibrin concentration. In the presence of 800 nM-Fn or 800 nM-Fg-CNBr, the experimental second-order rate constant (K″app.) was decreased from 2.4 x 10(7) M-1.s-1 to 1.2 x 10(6) and 5.3 x 10(5) M-1.s-1 respectively. The effect of Fn and Fg-CNBr on the rate of plasmin inhibition by alpha 2M was even greater. The k″app. value was decreased from 4.0 x 10(5) M-1.s-1 to 8.0 x 10(2) and 1.3 x 10(3) M-1.s-1 in the presence of 800 nM-Fn and -Fg-CNBr respectively. By contrast, the fibrin preparations caused only a small change in the rate of plasmin inhibition by leupeptin. The maximum change in k″app. was 3-fold. All plasmin inhibition curves were linear, suggesting that free and fibrin-bound forms of plasmin remained in equilibrium during the course of reaction with proteinase inhibitors. Fn and Fg-CNBr had no effect on the reaction of miniplasmin with S-2251, alpha 2AP or alpha 2M. When 125I-plasmin was incubated with Fg-CNBr and then allowed to react with a premixed solution of alpha 2AP and alpha 2M, the Fg-CNBr did not significantly change the percentage of plasmin bound to alpha 2AP. These experiments demonstrate that the reaction of plasmin with alpha 2M is inhibited by the non-covalent binding of plasmin to fibrin. We propose that plasmin bound to the surface of a clot is protected from inhibition by alpha 2M as well as by alpha 2AP.

Streptokinase-human plasmin complex (Sk-hPm) reacted rapidly with purified mouse alpha 2-macroglobulin (m alpha 2M) in vitro at 37 degrees C. Approx. 98% of the plasmin in Sk-hPm bound covalently to at least one m alpha 2M subunit. Most of the streptokinase dissociated (95%). The rate of Sk-hPm inactivation clearly depended on the m alpha 2M concentration. With 1.2 microM-m alpha 2M, 50% of the Sk-hPm (0.02 microM) reacted in less than 50 s. A double-reciprocal plot comparing pseudo-first-order rate constants (kapp.) and m alpha 2M concentration yielded a second-order rate constant of 2.3 x 10(4) M-1.s-1 (r = 0.97). This value is an approximation, since Sk-hPm preparations are heterogeneous. Sk-hPm reacted with human alpha 2M (h alpha 2M), forming alpha 2M-plasmin complex (98% covalent). More than 99% of the streptokinase dissociated. The rate of reaction of Sk-hPm with h alpha 2M did not clearly depend on inhibitor concentration. The kapp. values determined with 0.6-1.2 microM-h alpha 2M were decreased 10-20-fold compared with m alpha 2M. In order to study the effect of Sk-hPm heterogeneity on the reaction with alpha 2M, the proteinase was incubated for various amounts of time at 37 degrees C before addition of inhibitor. The enzyme amidase activity was maximal within 5 min; however, reaction of Sk-hPm with m alpha 2M or h alpha 2M was most extensive after 20 min and 2 h respectively. After incubation for more than 1 h, Sk-hPm acquired fibrinogenolytic activity, suggesting plasmin dissociation. Therefore the enhanced reaction of h alpha 2M with ‘older’ Sk-hPm preparations may have resulted in part from dissociated plasmin or ‘plasmin-like’ species. By contrast, the reaction of Sk-hPm with m alpha 2M was most rapid when the proteinase preparation was free of plasmin, indicating direct reaction of Sk-hPm with m alpha 2M as the only major mechanism. Finally, streptokinase-cat plasminogen complex reacted more extensively with m alpha 2M than with h alpha 2M, suggesting that m alpha 2M may be a superior inhibitor with this class of plasminogen activators in general.

Hydrogen sulfide is an important acid rain precursor and this led us to investigate the kinetics of its oxidation in aqueous phase by atmospheric oxygen. The kinetics was followed by measuring the depletion of oxygen in a reactor. The reaction was studied under pseudo order conditions with [H2S] in excess. The kinetics followed the rate law: -d[O2]/dt = k[S][O2]t (A) Where [S] represents the total concentration of hydrogen sulfide, [O2]t is the concentration of oxygen at time t and k is the second order rate constant. The equilibria (B - C) govern the dissolution of H2S; the sulfide ion in water forms different species: H2S K1 HS- + H+ (B) HS- K2 S2- + H+ (C) Where K1 and K2 are first and second dissociation constants of H2S. Although, H2S is present as undissociated H2S, HS- and S2- ions, nature of [H+ ] dependence of reaction rate required only HS- to be reactive and dominant. The rate law (A) on including [H+ ] dependence became Equation (D). -d[O2]/dt = k1K1[H+ ][S][O2]t / ([H+ ] 2 + K1[H+ ] + K1K2) (D) Our results indicate anthropogenic VOCs such as acetanilide, benzene, ethanol, aniline, toluene, benzamide, o-xylene, m-xylene, p-xylene and anisole to have no significant effect on the reaction rate and any observed small effect is within the uncertainty of the rate measurements.

The Stability

Although it is known that most of the plasma proteinase inhibitors form complexes with proteinases that are not dissociated by SDS (sodium dodecyl sulphate), there has been disagreement as to whether this is true for alpha 2M (alpha 2-macroglobulin). We have examined the stability to SDS with reduction of complexes between alpha 2M and several 125I-labelled proteinases (trypsin, plasmin, leucocyte elastase, pancreatic elastase and papain) by gel electrophoresis. For each enzyme, some molecules were separated from the denatured alpha 2M chains, but amounts ranging from 8.3% (papain) to 61.2% (trypsin) were bound with a stability indicative of a covalent link. Proteolytic activity was essential for the covalent binding to occur, and the proteinase molecules became attached to the larger of the two proteolytic derivatives (apparent mol.wt. 111 000) of the alpha 2M subunit. We take this to mean that cleavage of the proteinase-susceptible site sometimes leads to covalent-bond formation between alpha 2M and proteinase. Whatever the nature of this bond, it does not involve the active site of the proteinase, as bound serine-proteinase molecules retain the ability to react with the active-site-directed reagent [3H]Dip-F (di-isopropyl phosphorofluoridate). Our conclusion is that the ability to form covalent links is not essential for the inhibitory capacity of alpha 2M. It may, however, help to stabilize the complexes against dissociation or proteolysis.

Abstract Jiangpo is an increasingly popular East Asian spice which is made from Mangnolia officinalis bark and ginger juice. Since it induces bioactive compounds decomposition and has influence on final flavor and fragrance, cooking is regarded as the key operation in preparation of Jiangpo. To evaluate the bioactive compounds content changes of Jiangpo during thermal processing, kinetic parameters including reaction order, rate constant, T1/2 and activation energy of bioactive markers namely honokiol, magnolol and curcumin were determined. Cooking was set at temperatures 60, 90 and 120 °C for selected time intervals. Results displayed the thermal kinetic characteristics of the three compounds. Thermal degradation of Honokiol and magnolol both followed first order kinetic model and the loss of curcumin fitted second order. A mathematical model based on the obtained kinetic parameters has also been developed to predict the degradation of honokiol, magnolol and curcumin in non-isothermal state. All the information in this paper could contribute necessary information for optimizing the existing heat processing of Jiangpo.

The reaction of bacteriophage T4 with 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene resulted in a covalent binding of 2,4-dinitrophenyl (DNP) determinants to the phage. From the kinetics of inactivation reflecting the coupling process it is concluded that attachment of more than one DNP group to the critical site(s) of the phage is required for inactivation (multi-hit reaction). Contrary to this the neutralization of DNP-T4 by anti-DNP antibody turned out to be a first order reaction, until 80 %> neutralization fitting one-hit kinetics. If compared with native T4, the susceptibility of DNP-T4 to neutralization by anti-T4 antibody is considerably higher, indicating that attachment of DNP groups to T4 amplifies the sensitivity to neutralization by anti-T4. Comparing neutralization kinetics of DNP-T4 and native T4 by anti-DNP-T4 antibody it is suggested that native determinants and DNP groups, as well as determinants resulting from alteration due to the coupling process, all together may contribute as targets for neutralization. Three characteristics strengthen the view that the velocity of T4 conjugates in infecting the host strain is markedly decreased if compared with that of native T4: (a) considerable discrepancy between direct plating and decision technique (b) increasing variety of plaque size and (c) decreased velocity of the first step of reproduction. The kinetics of neutralization observed can be reconciled with a model proposed by Krummel and Uhr. The kinetics of reactivation of neutralized DNP-T4 by the presence cf DNP-BSA has been investigated and the problems involved in the reaction are discussed.

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 capnophorin (band 3)-mediated chloride self exchange flux in intact erythrocytes and in resealed erythrocyte ghosts was determined at pH 7.3 by measuring the unidirectional efflux of 36Cl-. The time-dependent irreversible inactivation of the anion transport system by 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (DIDS) was measured as the relative change of the unidirectional 36Cl efflux rate. The rate of covalent DIDS binding under conditions of excess DIDS in solution that ensure a complete irreversible inhibition followed an exponential time course with a rate coefficient Kcov (min-1). The Arrhenius activation enthalpy of Kcov was constant, 114 kJ/mol, at 0-38 degrees C. At 38 and 0 degrees C, Kcov was 0.5 min-1 [half time (T1/2) = ln2/Kcov = 1.3 min] and 0.004 min-1 (T1/2 = 178 min), respectively. The slow irreversible DIDS binding to the anion transport system at 0 degrees C allows a determination of the kinetics of the reversible DIDS reaction. The pseudo first-order rate constant for binding, kon, was 3.5 X 10(5) (M.s)-1. The apparent dissociation constant, KD, determined from the steady-state binding to the erythrocyte membrane was 3.1 X 10(-8) M at an equal internal and external Cl- concentration of 165 mM (0 degrees C). The value of KD shows that DIDS is the most efficient reversible inhibitor among the stilbene derivatives so far studied. Maximum reversible inhibition by DIDS was obtained by binding of a minimum of approximately 10(6) molecules/cell membrane. The number is similar to that obtained from studies of irreversible DIDS binding.
