Abstract Background: Insulin is one of the most important versatile hormones that is central to regulating the energy and glucose metabolism in the body. There has been accumulating evidence supporting that diabetes was associated with peroxynitrite and protein nitration, and insulin nitration induced by peroxynitrite affected its biological activity. Methods: In this paper, the kinetics of insulin nitration by peroxynitrite in physiological conditions was studied by the stopped flow technique. Results: We determined the values of the reactive rate constants of peroxynitrite decomposition and peroxynitrite-induced tyrosine nitration in the presence of insulin. The activation energy of peroxynitrite decomposition and 3-nitrotyrosine yield in the presence of insulin is 48.8 kJ·mol−1 and 42.7 kJ·mol−1 respectively. Conclusions: It is inferred that the glutamate residue of insulin accelerated peroxynitrite decomposition and tyrosine nitration by reducing the activation energy of reactions. The results could be beneficial for exploring the molecular mechanism of diabetes and offering a new target for diabetes therapies.

Least Squares Minimization

The kinetics of the reactions of trimethylsilyl enol ethers and enamines (derived from deoxybenzoin, indane-1-one, and α-tetralone) with reference electrophiles (p-quinone methides, benzhydrylium and indolylbenzylium ions) were measured by conventional and stopped-flow photometry in acetonitrile at 20 °C. The resulting second-order rate constants were subjected to a least-squares minimization based on the correlation equation lg k = s N(N + E) for determining the reactivity descriptors N and s N of the silyl enol ethers and enamines. The relative reactivities of structurally analogous silyl enol ethers, enamines, and enolate anions towards carbon-centered electrophiles are determined as 1, 107, and 1014, respectively. A survey of synthetic applications of enolate ions and their synthetic equivalents shows that their behavior can be properly described by their nucleophilicity parameters, which therefore can be used for designing novel synthetic transformations.

Abstract Vulcanization of natural rubber with sulfur was studied in presence of six sulfenamides, to determine the effect of the chemical constitution of the sulfenamide on sulfur decrease and on crosslinking. The results can be condensed as follows: (1) The kinetics of sulfur disappearance is in every respect qualitatively independent of the chemical constitution of the sulfenamide. (2) For the sulfenamides investigated, the smallest and largest rate constants for sulfur decrease differed only by a factor of two. (3) Greater differences are encountered in the induction times for sulfur decrease and for crosslinking. The latter are notably longer than those for sulfur disappearance. (4) The same activation energy, 23 kcal/mole, is derived from the temperature dependence of the induction times for all the sulfenamides. (5) The dissociation of sulfenamides in solution and their reaction with mercaptobenzothiazole were investigated further. The results provide the basis for a proposed reaction mechanism, which is presented in detail and can account for a number of the features typical of sulfenamide-accelerated vulcanization. (6) The drop in sulfur concentration goes at practically the same rate, if one introduces, instead of N, N-dicyclohexyl-2-benzothiazolesulfenamide, the corresponding ammonium mercaptide in equimolar concentration.

The kinetics of bromination of the 1,2-dihydro-1,3-dimethyl-2-oxopyrimidinium cation (Q+) in aqueous media (pH 0–5) have been studied using the stopped-flow method. At the higher acidities (pH < 2) the results are consistent with rate determining attack by bromine upon the pseudobase (QOH), whereas at low acidities (pH > 4) it appears that pseudobase formation is rate determining. The change occurs because at high acidity the reversal of the pseudobase QOH to the cation is fast relative to bromine attack, whereas at low acidity the converse is true. Results obtained at intermediate acidities (pH 2–4) are consistent with this interpretation.A separate kinetic study of pseudobase formation (and decomposition) yielded rate constants in good agreement with those derived from the bromination study.

The reaction of para-substituted phenyl isocyanates with amines and alcohols was studied by stopped-flow method. The Hammett correlation obtained showed that the sensitivity of the above mentioned reactions toward substituent effects is the same as that of analogous reactions of phenyl isothiocyanates (ρ ~ 2). The rate constants of these reactions were found to be affected more by steric effects than by solvent effects. An one step multicentre mechanism with partial charges in transition state has been proposed for the title reactions.

Reaction Kinetics of Carbon Dioxide in Aqueous Diethanolamine Solutions Using the Stopped-Flow Technique The pseudo-first-order rate constants (kOV) for the reactions between CO2 and diethanolamine have been studied using the stopped-flow technique in an aqueous solution at 293, 298, 303 and 313 K. The amine concentrations ranged from 167 to 500 mol·m-3. The overall reaction rate constant was found to increase with amine concentration and temperature. Both the zwitterion and termolecular mechanisms were applied to correlate the experimentally obtained rate constants. The values of SSE quality index showed a good agreement between the experimental data and the corresponding fit by the use of both mechanisms.

Scallop shell powder heated at 1,000°C for 1 h exhibited sporicidal action against Bacillus subtilis spores. The sporicidal kinetics of this action were analyzed with the use of a nonlogarithmic model. Apparent death rate constants (k) were obtained under various conditions. The value of k increased with powder concentration but became constant beyond the concentration representing the solubility of Ca(OH)2. A linear inverse relationship between k and temperature was found, and from this relationship the activation energy required for the death of B. subtilis spores in the heated shell powder slurry could be determined.

The crystallization kinetics of Cu47.5Zr47.5Al5 BMG was studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) using the mode of continuous heating and isothermal annealing. It is found that Tg, Tx, and Tp, display a dependence on the heating rate in the case of continuous heating. The activation energies, Eg, Ex and Tp determined by the Kissinger method, yield 445, 264 and 285 kJ/mol, respectively. The local activation energy, E(x), was determined by the Doyle-Ozawa method, which gives the average activation energy 204 kJ/mol. On the other hand, the isothermal kinetics was modeled by the Johnson-Mehl-Avrami (JMA) equation, the Avrami exponent versus crystallization fraction was calculated at different temperatures. Details of nucleation and growth behaviors are discussed in terms of the local Avrami exponent and local activation energy during the isothermal crystallization. X-ray shows that the quenched BMG only includes the glass single phase. The BMG heated to 873 K has the precipitation of the body-center cubic (BCC) CuZr.

Abstract 2,3-dioxogulonic acid and the disodium salt of its enol were synthesised, isolated and identified both chemically and spectroscopically. A kinetic study was carried out on its equilibrium by means of the “stopped flow” method for rapid processes, and the rate constants for the forward and backward reaction were determined as a function of the pH of the medium. The kinetic coefficients involved, equilibrium constant and Gibbs free energies were also determined.
