1. Chemical modification of the Ca2+-ATPase with phenylglyoxal, as a modifier of arginine residues, leads to an almost total loss of the ATPase activity. The presence of nucleotides in the reaction medium protects against the binding of 18 nmol of phenylglyoxal/mg of protein and this reduction in the binding of phenylglyoxal is accompanied by a substantial retention of ATPase activity. The incorporation of phenylglyoxal to the protein alters neither calcium binding nor phosphorylation from inorganic phosphate. Nevertheless the binding of nucleotides is dramatically inhibited and, consequently, so is phosphorylation from ATP. Fluorescein 5´-isothiocyanate labelling of the phenylglyoxal-modified ATPase is not affected but, on the other hand, phenylglyoxal is not able to modify the fluorescein 5´-isothiocyanate-prelabelled ATPase. The way in which ATPase inhibition depends on the presence of phenylglyoxal indicates that this process occurs in a pseudo-first-order reaction. However, the dependence of the apparent first-order rate constant on phenylglyoxal concentration appears to be more complex and an inhibition mechanism of two steps, with phenylglyoxal binding, has to be taken into account. 2. We have found that phenylglyoxal labels both A and B tryptic fragments, but only B fragment labelling is prevented by ATP. The sequencing of peptides from mild acid hydrolysis of phenylglyoxal-labelled ATPase shows that phenylglyoxal is located in the Ala506–Gly595 peptide that is a part of the B fragment. 3. We conclude that phenylglyoxal inactivates the calcium pump in a two-step mechanism in which the second step is irreversible. Phenylglyoxal labels an arginyl residue in the Ala506–Gly595 peptide that can be protected by the binding of ATP to its site.

Carboxylesterases from different strains of Myzus persicae were examined to try to understand their contribution to insecticide resistance. Preliminary evidence that they are involved comes from the good correlation between the degree of resistance and the carboxylesterase and paraoxon-degrading activity in aphid homogenates. Furthermore the carboxylesterase associated with resistance could not be separated from the insecticide-degrading enzyme by electrophoresis or ion-exchange chromatography. Homogenates of resistant aphids hydrolysed paraoxon 60 times faster than did those of susceptible aphids, yet the purified enzymes from both sources had identical catalytic-centre activities towards this substrate and also towards naphth-1-yl acetate, the latter being hydrolysed by both 2×106 times faster than paraoxon. These observations provide evidence that the enzyme from both sources is identical, and that one enzyme hydrolyses both substrates. This was confirmed by relating the rate of paraoxon hydrolysis to the rate at which paraoxon-inhibited carboxylesterase re-activated. Both had the same first-order rate constant (0.01min−1), showing clearly that the hydrolysis of both substrates is brought about by the same enzyme. Its Km for naphth-1-yl acetate was 0.131mm, and for paraoxon 75pm. The latter very small value could not be measured directly, but was calculated from substrate-competition studies coupled with measurements of re-activation of the diethyl phosphorylated enzyme. Since the purified enzymes from resistant and susceptible aphids had the same catalytic-centre activity, the 60-fold difference between strains must be caused by different amounts of the same enzyme resulting from mutations of the regulator gene(s) rather than of the structural gene.

Treatment of barley alpha-amylase/subtilisin inhibitor (BASI) with reagents specific for arginine, histidine, methionine and tyrosine residues and amino and carboxyl groups indicates that an arginine residue(s) is essential for its action on the target enzyme barley alpha-amylase 2. Phenylglyoxal modified eight out of 12 arginine residues in BASI. Kinetic analysis shows that the inactivation of BASI follows a pseudo-first-order reaction and is due to reaction with one molecule of phenylglyoxal; the second-order rate constant is determined to be 2.95 M-1.min-1. At pH 8.0, BASI and barley alpha-amylase 2 form an inactive 1:1 complex. The Ki value of this association is 2.2 x 10(-10) M. The alpha-amylase protects four arginine residues and also the alpha-amylase inhibitory activity of BASI against phenylglyoxal. When BASI from the phenylglyoxal-modified target enzyme-inhibitor complex is isolated and subjected to a second treatment with phenylglyoxal, four additional arginine residues are modified, with concomitant loss of the inhibitory activity. These results are discussed in relation to a three-dimensional model of BASI based on the known structure of the corresponding inhibitor from wheat.

Experiments were conducted to investigate the decolorization of methyl orange simulated wastewater in order to assess the effectiveness and feasibility of ultrasound(US) enhanced high-purity chlorine dioxide(ClO2) oxidation process. The results showed that in ClO2/US system the decolorization rate of methyl orange was up to 96%, which was increased by 8% as compared to ClO2treatment alone. The decolorization of methyl orange with/without ultrasonic irradiation follows apparent pseudo-first-order reaction kinetics. The apparent pseudo-first-order rate constant kappwas 0.19min-1in the ClO2/US system, which was a little higher than 0.13min-1of rate constant achieved in ClO2treatment alone. It shows that ClO2/US system can be an effective technology for the decolorization of azo dyes in wastewater.

1-Methyl- (Ia - Id) and 1-dodecyl-2-, 3- and 4-hydroxyiminomethylpyridinium salts (Ie - Ih), as well as 1-methyl- (IIa) and 1-dodecyl-3-hydroxyiminomethylpyridazinium salts (IIb, IIc), were synthesized as catalysts for hydrolytic cleavage of organophosphates. The activities of the prepared catalysts were evaluated by measuring rate constants of hydrolysis of 4-nitrophenyl diphenyl phosphate (PNPDPP) under conditions of a pseudo-first-order reaction. The observed reactivity of pyridinium aldoximes Ia - Ih towards PNPDPP in neutral or slightly basic aqueous solutions (pH 7.2 and 7.8) depends on the acidity of the hydroxyimino group. The cleavage of PNPDPP is strongly accelerated in solutions of 1-dodecylhydroxyiminomethylpyridinium salts Ie - Ih above their critical micellar concentration (CMC). Considerable effect on the velocity of PNPDPP cleavage was observed when quaternary pyridinium aldoximes Ie - Ih were comicellized with inert cationic tenside hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). 1-Dodecyl-3-hydroxyiminomethylpyridazinium salts IIb and IIc were unstable in aqueous solutions under the above-mentioned conditions.

Ligand-mediated effects on the inactivation of pure wheat-germ aspartate transcarbamoylase by trypsin were examined. Inactivation was apparently first-order in all cases, and the effects of ligand concentration on the pseudo-first-order rate constant, k, were studied. Increase in k (labilization) was effected by carbamoyl phosphate, phosphate and the putative transition-state analogue, N-phosphonoacetyl-L-aspartate. Decrease in k (protection) was effected by the end-product inhibitor, UMP, and by the ligand pairs aspartate/phosphate and succinate/carbamoyl phosphate, but not by aspartate or succinate alone up to 10 mM. Except for protection by the latter ligand pairs, all other ligand-mediated effects were also observed on inactivation of the enzyme by Pronase and chymotrypsin. Ligand-mediated effects on the fragmentation of the polypeptide chain by trypsin were examined electrophoretically. Slight labilization of the chain was observed in the presence of carbamoyl phosphate, phosphate and N-phosphonoacetyl-L-aspartate. An extensive protection by UMP was observed, which apparently included all trypsin-sensitive peptide bonds. No significant effect by the ligand pair succinate/carbamoyl phosphate was noted. It is concluded from these observations that UMP triggers an extensive, probably co-operative, transition to a proteinase-resistant conformation, and that carbamoyl phosphate similarly triggers a transition to an alternative, proteinase-sensitive, conformation. These antagonistic conformational changes may account for the regulatory kinetic effects reported elsewhere [Yon (1984) Biochem. J. 221, 281-287]. The protective effect by the ligand pairs aspartate/phosphate and succinate/carbamoyl phosphate, which operates only against trypsin, is concluded to be due to local shielding of essential lysine or arginine residues in the aspartate-binding pocket of the active site, to which aspartate (or its analogue, succinate) can only bind as part of a ternary complex.

Mechanism Of The Reaction

Dimethyl acetylphosphonate (DAP) is rapidly cleaved in water to acetate and dimethylphosphonic acid. The half time for reaction at pH 7, 25 °C is estimated to be 3 s. The reaction is first order in hydroxide ion concentration and first order in DAP concentration. Rates of reaction were measured over the pH range 3.8 to 6.5 at 25 °C, 6.5 and 7.0 at 5 °C, 4.5 to 6.5 at 35 °C, and 4.5 to 6.0 at 45 °C. The average observed second-order rate constant at 25 °C is 2.4 × 106M−1 s−1. DAP is converted rapidly to a hydrated carbonyl adduct. The mechanism for the formation of the observed products is proposed to be analogous to cleavage reactions of other carbonyl hydrates, proceeding from a monoanion conjugate in this case. The estimated rate constant for the unimolecular cleavage of the carbonyl hydrate anion is 2 × 103 s−1. The rapid hydrolysis of DAP results from energetically favourable formation of a hydrate due to the electronic effect of the phosphonate diester. This effect also promoles ionization of the hydrate. The ionized hydrate readily expels the phosphonate diester to achieve the overall rapid hydrolysis.

The kinetics of acid hydrolysis of bis(2,2';6',2''–terpyridyl) iron(II) complex has been studied in CTAB/Hexane/Chloroform reverse micelles. The reaction obeys first order kinetics with respect to each of the reactants at all values of W, {W= [H2O]/[CTAB]}. In the reverse micellar medium, the reaction is much slower compared to aqueous medium due to low micropolarity of the water pools which does not facilitate a reaction between reactants of same charge. The effect of variation of W {W=[H2O]/[CTAB]} at constant [CTAB] and variation of [CTAB] at fixed W has been studied. The second order rate constant (k2) of the reaction increases as the value of W increases up to W = 8.88 and remains constant thereafter and it is independent of concentration of [CTAB] at constant W. The variation of rate of reaction with W has been explained by considering variation of micropolarity and ionic strength of water pools of reverse micelles with W. Copyright © 2020 BCREC Group.

Two synthetic approaches for the synthesis of N,N′-di(2-hydroxybenzyl)ethylenediamine-N,N′-diacetic acid (HBED) and derivatives are reported. The first involves conversion of N,N′-di(2-hydroxybenzyl)ethylenediamine to the diamide HBEDDA via reaction with formaldehyde and HCN followed by hydrolysis. Analysis of the species distribution curves of the Cu(II) chelates of N,N′-di(2-hydroxybenzyl)ethylenediamine-N,N′-diacetic acid (HBED) and its diamide, HBEDDA, and of the nature of the coordination in each complex species formed, suggest the selection of the reaction conditions most favorable for the Cu(II)-catalyzed hydrolysis of HBEDDA to HBED. The rate of conversion was found to be low, and the reasons for these findings are described. Iron(III) catalysis of the conversion of HBEDDA to HBED was found to be rapid and complete with a pseudo-first-order rate constant of 3.1 × 10−3 s−1 at 25.0 °C. The results provide the final step of a new method for the synthesis of HBED. The second synthetic approach involves reaction of N,N′-ethylenediamine-diacetic acid (EDDA) with substituted phenols and formaldehyde. These approaches appear to be general for the synthesis of HBED and derivatives.

The complex nickel(II) cation of the bis-diazine macrocycle 3,4,7,9,9,14,14,16-octamethyl-1,2,5,6,10,13-hexaazacyclohexadeca-2,4,6,16-tetraene, omht, is formed by reaction of the complex of 3,3,9,9-tetramethyl-5,8-diazadodecane-2,11-dione dihydrazone with butane-2,3-dione, and the complex of the 7,9,9,14,14,16-hexamethyl-3,4-diphenyl homologue, bzht, is similarly prepared by reaction with 1,2- diphenylethane-1,2-dione. The cation [Cu(hmtd)]2+ is formed by metal ion substitution for a precursor of the nickel(II) cation. Compounds of the nickel(II) cations occur as singlet ground state perchlorate salts, or as triplet ground state octahedral compounds with additional ligands, e.g. [Ni(omht)(NCS)2], [{Ni(omht)(N3)}2](ClO4)2 and [Ni(omht)(en)] (ClO4)2. The singlet ground state [Ni(omht)]2+ cation in dimethyl sulfoxide converts into a triplet ground state species with first-order rate constant of 2.1(2)×10-6 s-1 at 25°C, 5.1(2)×10-5 s-1 at 50°C. The cations are slowly hydrolysed by acid, and pseudo-first-order rate constants in 2 mol l-1 HCl/NaCl for hydrolysis of [Ni(omht)]2+ and [Cu(omht)]2+ at 25° and 50°C are reported. These are of the order of 10-5 (25°C), 10-4(50°C) s-1, with a non-linear dependence on [H+], and with the reactions faster for the nickel(II) cation.

The structure of endo-tricyclo[3,3,0,02,8]octan-4-ol (3; X = OH) has been confirmed by hydrogenolysis which affords the known alcohols endo- (equatorial)-bicyclo[3,2,1]octan-2-(11) and cis-bicyclo[3,3,0]octan- anti-2-ol (12). Hydrolysis of derived p-toluenesulphonate (3; X = OTs) in 70% aqueous acetone at 21.6� proceeds with a first-order rate constant of 6.67�0.21x10-4s-1, and under buffered conditions yields endo- tricyclo[3,3,0,02,8]octan-4-ol (3; X = OH) as the only observable product. The results suggest that ionization of (3; X = OTs) proceeds with participation of the C 1 to C2 bonding electrons to give the intermediate trishomocyclopropenyl cation (4) which suffers stereospecific solvent capture to yield (3; X = OH). The results obtained with the monodeuterated isotopomer (17; X = OTs) are consistent with this mechanism. Hydrolysis of exo- tricyclo[3,3,0,02,8]oct-4-yl p-toluenesulphonate (5; X = OTs) is a little slower than its epimer(3; X = OTs), and proceeds with a first-order rate constant of (1.9�0.04)x 10-4s-1 at 49.9� in 70% aqueous acetone. The mechanism in this instance appears to involve anchimerically assisted ionization and subsequent formation of the intermediate tricyclo[3,2,1,02,7]oct-6-yl cation (24)which yields a characteristic mixture of products consisting of endo-tricyclo[3,2,1,02,7]octan-6-ol(20; X = OH) (mainly), its epimer (21; X = OH), exo-bicyclo[3,2,1]oct-6-en- 2-ol (18; X =OH)and exo-bicyclo[2,2,2]oct-5-en-2-ol (19; X = OH).��� A reinvestigation of the buffered acetolysis of exo- tricyclo[3,2,1,02,7]oct-6-yl p-nitrobenzoate(21; X = OPnb) has shown that, contrary to previous conclusions, there is no leakage from the L series to the G series in this system.
