Kinetics and mechanism of hydrolysis of acetylthiocholine by the enzyme butyrylcholine esterase was studied. The spectrophotometric Ellman’s method and potentiometric pH-stat method were used for continuous determination of the actual concentration of the products thiocholine and acetic acid in the reaction mixture. The validity of the Michaelis-Menten (Briggs-Haldane) equation in the whole course of the reaction under used conditions was proved. The corresponding kinetics parameters (Vm and KM) were calculated from the obtained dependences of concentration of thiocholine or acetic acid vs. time and compared. From this comparison the deciding kinetic role of the step producing thiocholine was derived. The values of initial molar concentration of the enzyme and of the rate constants of the kinetic model were estimated.

This work on organic dental composites was undertaken to determine the role of residual reactive methacrylate functions at the end of the photopolymerization cycle, and to investigate the fate of the residual monomers and oligomers in organic (ethanol) and aqueous (water and artificial saliva) media. The results show that all the methacrylate monomers present in dentine migrate into ethanol (about 1% (w/w)). In aqueous media on the other hand, only the most hydrophilic monomer (UDMA) migrates (0.05% (w/w)) into water and 0.03% into artificial saliva (pH = 9). This desorption in the three media is accompanied by the hydrolysis of monomers, leading to the formation of monohydrolyzed urethane dimethacrylate (UDMA) and bis-phenyl glycidyl dimethacrylate (BISGMA); UDMA and BISGMA are completely hydrolyzed in artificial saliva. The alkalinity of the milieu apparently favours the hydrolysis of methacrylate functions.

Abstract A method has been developed for detecting residues of carbaryl (1-naphthyl methylcarbamate) as well as its hydrolysis product, 1-naphthol, in dead bees. The method is based on extraction of the bees with benzene, followed by a cleanup involving liquid partitioning and chromatography on Florisil. The quantitative determination involves hydrolysis of carbaryl to 1-naphthol and coupling of the latter with p-nitrobenzenediazonium fluoborate in acetic acid to form a yellow substance. For separate analysis, free 1-naphthol is separated from methylene chloride into a basic aqueous solution. The sensitivity of the method is about 0.1 ppm; recoveries averaged 85.6 ± 6.6% for 1- naphthol and 83.8 ± 2.7% for carbaryl.

ABSTRACTZirconium propoxide hydrolysis was performed with the help of an esterification reaction using acetic acid. Products, obtained according to the value of hydrolysis ratio, are successively crystals, sols and gels or precipitates. The similarity of FUR and NMR spectra for crystals and gels allows to think that the arrangements of ligands around the zirconium atoms are close. The crystalline structure determination permits to precise the environment : acetate groups are always bridging and propoxy groups can be bridging or terminal. Clusters containing 9 zirconium atoms, bridged by oxygen atoms, exist in the structure. The colloid size growth was performed by light scattering. A discussion of the role of acetic acid and the competition between the possible reactions is given.
