Formal Solutions

Earlier stochastic analyses of chemical reactions have provided formal solutions which are unsuitable for most purposes in that they are expressed in terms of complex algebraic functions. Normal approximations are derived here for solutions to a variety of reactions. Using these, it is possible to investigate the level at which the classical deterministic solutions become inadequate. This is important in fields such as radioimmunoassay.

O2 Diffusion

A mathematical model describing facilitation of O2 diffusion by the diffusion of myoglobin and hemoglobin is presented. The equations are solved numerically by a finite-difference method for the conditions as they prevail in cardiac and skeletal muscle and in red cells without major simplifications. It is demonstrated that, in the range of intracellular diffusion distances, the degree of facilitation is limited by the rate of the chemical reaction between myglobin or hemoglobin and O2. The results are presented in the form of relationships between the degree of facilitation and the length of the diffusion path on the basis of the known kinetics of the oxygenation-deoxygenation reactions. It is concluded that the limitation by reaction kinetics reduces the maximally possible facilitated oxygen diffusion in cardiomyoctes by ∼50% and in skeletal muscle fibers by ∼ 20%. For human red blood cells, a reduction of facilitated O2 diffusion by 36% is obtained in agreement with previous reports. This indicates that, especially in cardiomyocytes and red cells, chemical equilibrium between myoglobin or hemoglobin and O2 is far from being established, an assumption that previously has often been made. Although the “O2 transport function” of myoglobin in cardiac muscle cells thus is severely limited by the chemical reaction kinetics, and to a lesser extent also in skeletal muscle, it is noteworthy that the speed of release of O2 from MbO2, the “storage function,” is not limited by the reaction kinetics under physiological conditions.

Liquid Solutions

The kinetics of chemical reactions were first studied in liquid solutions. These experiments involved mixing two liquids and following the change in the concentration of a reactant or product with time. The concentration was monitored by removing a small sample of the solution and stopping the reaction, for example, by rapidly lowering the temperature, or by following a physical property of the system in situ, for example, its color. Although the experiments were initially limited to slow reactions, they established the basic laws governing the rate at which chemical changes occur. The variables considered included the concentrations of the reactants and of the products, the temperature, and the pressure. Thus, the reacting system was examined using the variables normally considered for a system at equilibrium. Most reactions were found to be complex, that is, to be made up of several elementary steps which involved one or two reactants. As the fundamental concepts of chemical kinetics developed, there was a strong interest in studying chemical reactions in the gas phase. At low pressures the reacting molecules in a gaseous solution are far from one another, and the theoretical description of equilibrium thermodynamic properties was well developed. Thus, the kinetic theory of gases and collision processes was applied first to construct a model for chemical reaction kinetics. This was followed by transition state theory and a more detailed understanding of elementary reactions on the basis of quantum mechanics. Eventually, these concepts were applied to reactions in liquid solutions with consideration of the role of the non-reacting medium, that is, the solvent. An important turning point in reaction kinetics was the development of experimental techniques for studying fast reactions in solution. The first of these was based on flow techniques and extended the time range over which chemical changes could be observed from a few seconds down to a few milliseconds. This was followed by the development of a variety of relaxation techniques, including the temperature jump, pressure jump, and electrical field jump methods. In this way, the time for experimental observation was extended below the nanosecond range.
