Transcriptional Feedback

Temporal dynamics in many biomolecular circuits can change with temperature because of the temperature dependence of underlying reaction rate parameters. It is generally unclear what circuit mechanisms can inherently facilitate robustness in the dynamics to variations in temperature. Here, we address this issue using a combination of mathematical models and experimental measurements in a cell-free transcription-translation system. We find that negative transcriptional feedback can reduce the effect of temperature variation on circuit dynamics. Further, we find that effective negative feedback due to first-order degradation mechanisms can also enable such a temperature robustness effect. Finally, we estimate temperature dependence of key parameters mediating such negative feedback mechanisms. These results should be useful in the design of temperature robust circuit dynamics.

First order rate constants of the reaction of a series of SH-, imidazole- and imidazole/SH-compounds with FDNB as well as their pH- and temperature dependence were determined. Some of the tested imidazole/SH-compounds exhibit a higher nucleophilic reactivity as is expected on the basis of their pKSH-values. This enhanced reactivity is caused by an activation of the SH-groups by a neighbouring imidazole residue. The pH-independent rate constants were calculated using the Lindley equation.The kinetics of DNP-transfer from DNP-imidazole to SH-compounds were investigated. The pH-dependence of the reaction displays a maximum curve. Donor in this reaction is the DNP-imidazolecation and acceptor the thiolate anion.The reaction rate of FDNB with imidazole derivatives is two to three orders of magnitude slower than with SH-compounds.No inter- or intra-molecular transfer of the DNP-residue from sulfure to imidazole takes place.

Bisulfite reacted with aflatoxin B1 and G1 resulting in their loss of fluorescence. The reaction was first order with rate depending on bisulfite (or the bisulfite and sulfite) concentration(s). Aflatoxin G1 reacted more rapidly with bisulfite than did aflatoxin B1. In the presence of 0.035 M potassium acid phthalate-NaOH buffer (pH 5.5) plus 1.3% (vol/vol) methanol at 25 C, the reaction rate constant for degradation of aflatoxin G1 was 2.23 × 10−2h− and that for aflatoxin B1 was 1.87 × 10−2h− when 50 ml of reaction mixture contained 1.60 g of K2SO3. Besides bisulfite concentrations, temperature influenced reaction rates. The Q10 for the bisulfite-aflatoxin reaction was approximately 2 while activation energies for degrading aflatoxin B1 and aflatoxin G1 were 13.1 and 12.6 kcal/mole, respectively. Data suggest that treating foods with 50 to 500 ppm SO2 probably would not effectively degrade appreciable amounts of aflatoxin. Treating foods with 2000 ppm SO2 or more and increasing the temperature might reduce aflatoxin to an acceptable level.

Polyoxyethylene Oxide – 300 (POE) is a well-known biodegradable pharmaceutical polymer. In order to understand the stability of POE and to derive the reaction rate law, the title reaction was carried out in aqueous alkaline medium, Reaction was found to be first order dependent on the concentration oxidant (periodate) and independent of substrate (POE) concentration. A retardation of reaction rate with an increase in hydroxide concentration shows an inverse fractional order in it. Based on the studies of the temperature dependence of reaction, evaluated the activation parameters.

The effect of temperature on the rate of reaction catalysed by crude muscle AMP-aminohydrolase from two species of elasmobranch and two species of teleost fish has been investigated at low substrate concentration in the range of temperature 5–50 °C.The enzyme from teleost fish shows a very broad temperature optimum around 30 °C. The reaction rate of the enzyme from elasmobranch fish is strongly dependent on temperature. The optimum temperature for the enzyme from thornback ray lies around 40 °C. Both crude and 500-fold purified AMP-aminohydrolase from thornback ray show the same temperature-dependence.

Abstract The aim of this study was to verify first-order kinetic reaction rate model performance in predicting of leaching of atrazine and inorganic compounds (K+1, Fe+3, Mg+2, Mn+2, NH4 +, NO3 - and PO4 -3) from tilled and orchard silty loam soils. This model provided an excellent fit to the experimental concentration changes of the compounds vs. time data during leaching. Calculated values of the first-order reaction rate constants for the changes of all chemicals were from 3.8 to 19.0 times higher in orchard than in tilled soil. Higher first-order reaction constants for orchard than tilled soil correspond with both higher total porosity and contribution of biological pores in the former. The first order reaction constants for the leaching of chemical compounds enables prediction of the actual compound concentration and the interactions between compound and soil as affected by management system. The study demonstrates the effectiveness of simultaneous chemical and physical analyses as a tool for the understanding of leaching in variously managed soils.

The effect of temperature (103 K < T < 303 K) upon the limiting fluorescence anisotropy r0 of POPOP was investigated in a cellulose acetate film. A slow increase in r0 was observed when reducing the temperature. Based on the Jabłoński theory, the frequency of the torsional vibrations of POPOP was determined to be w = 1.3 x 1012s−1. The depolarization due to these torsional vibrations was found to occur immediately following excitation during the thermal relaxation of the luminescent centre, thus somewhat lowering the value of the fundamental fluorescence anisotropy rf to the limiting r0 value.

Abstract We describe a simple, highly reproducible kinetic technique for precisely measuring temperature in spectrophotometric systems having reaction cells that are inaccessible to conventional temperature probes. The method is based on the temperature dependence of pseudo-first-order rate constants for the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of N-o-tolyl-D-glucosylamine. Temperatures of reaction cuvette contents are measured with a precision of +/- 0.05 degrees C (1 SD).

An alternative method of determining exothermic reactor model parameters which include first order reaction rate constant is described in this paper. The method is based on known in reactor temperature development and is suitable for processes with changing quality of input substances. This method allows us to evaluate the reaction substances composition change and is also capable of the reaction rate constant (parameters of the Arrhenius equation) determination. Method can be used in exothermic batch or semi- batch reactors running processes based on the first order reaction. An example of such process is given here and the problem is shown on its mathematical model with the help of simulations.
