Numerische Auswertung von Enzymanalysen

Zusammenfassung Für eine numerische Auswertung von Enzymanalysen erscheint es zunächst naheliegend, in die Meßpunkte eine Ausgleichsgerade einzupassen und deren Steigung als Schätzwert für die gesuchte Anfangsgeschwindigkeit E/t ₀ zu nehmen. Die Steigung der Ausgleichsgeraden liefert aber die mittlere Reaktionsgeschwindigkeit über die gesamte Meßzeit und unterschätzt E/t ₀ immer dann, wenn die Reaktion gegen Ende der Meßzeit etwas langsamer läuft. Bei automatischen Geräten muß das Auswerteverfahren auch in solchen Fällen E/t ₀ richtig schätzen. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird eine einfache Möglichkeit, die zu diesem Ziel führt, diskutiert, nämlich die Schätzung von E/t ₀ mit einer Ausgleichsparabel, die dem Reaktionsverlauf folgen kann.

Numerical evaluation of enzyme analyses

To calculate enzyme concentrations numerically, it seems obvious to fit a straight line into the data points and take the slope as an estimate for the starting velocity E/t ₀. This slope, however, is proportional to the average reaction rate over the total measurement interval and always underestimates E/t ₀ when the reaction is slowing down towards the end. Automatic analyzers must correctly estimate E/t ₀ even in such cases. As discussed in this article, this can be achieved by fitting a second order parabola, that can follow the reaction, into the data points.

     

Influence of the type of foam films and the type of surfactant on foam stability

The behaviour and the life time ( _p) of different types of foam films (thin liquid films, for which DLVO-theory is valid; common black films, Newton black films) have been studied as a function of external pressure (P), applied in the Plateau-Gibbs-borders of the foam. The foam stability and the course of thep/P-dependence are determined mainly by the type of the foam films. A criterion for estimation of foam stability is proposed on the base of the obtained experimental results.

Thermodynamics of 2,2′,2′'-terpyridinecopper(II) complexes in aqueous solution

Summary The thermodynamic quantities relative to the protonation and the complexation of 2,2,2'-terpyridine with copper(II) ion have been determined at 25° and I=0.1 mol dm^–3 (NaNO₃). The G data was obtained by potentiometric measurements; a copper selective electrode was employed for the study of the complexation equilibria. The H values have been determined by direct calorimetry.The hydrolytic species, existing at pH>6 and their relative G and H values have also been obtained.From the thermodynamic data the importance of enthalpy and entropy terms in stabilizing the complexes is assessed.Moreover some considerations on the chelating effect are reported.Presented in part at 2 Congresso Nazionale di Chimica Analitica, Catania (1977).     

NMR Study of Non-freezing Water in Protein-Modified Carbon Adsorbents

Temperature dependences of ¹H NMR spin–spin relaxation were studied for the non-freezing water at the surface of carbon matrices modified with proteins (human serum albumin (HSA) and mouse immunoglobulin (MIG)) in the presence of water-soluble carbodiimide. The entropy, S , and enthalpy, H , values characterizing molecular mobility in non-freezing water were estimated. The compensation effect was observed for all modified samples, which is well approximated by the linear dependence of the type H = T ₀S + H ₀. The compensation temperature T ₀ = 231 ± 33 corresponds to such a state of non-freezing water, when the effect of modifying additives on the isobaric potential of molecular mobility activation in the non-freezing water, G , is minimal. The G has approximately constant value equal to H ₀ = 24.2 ± 0.5 kJ/mol. Modification of the base carbon matrix with MIG protein results in higher structurization of the non-freezing water, whereas HSA reduces this structurization. The observed effects are explained in terms of the hydration of modifying agents and also by the peculiarities of their location on the surface of carbon adsorbent.

Kinetics and mechanism of oxidation of allyl alcohol byN-bromosuccinimide

The kinetics of oxidation of allyl alcohol byN-bromosuccinimide (NBS) has been studied at 35 °C in aqueous medium. The reaction shows first order dependence on bothNBS and allyl alcohol. In fairly high acid concentration, there is no change in the rate of the reaction but at low acid concentration, the rate is considerably enhanced. There is no primary salt effect. At varying mercuric acetate concentrations, the rate constant remains the same. But in the absence of mercuric acetate, the rate is enhanced. The kinetic parameters,E _a,Arrhenius factorA, H, G and S have been calculated. A rate law in agreement with experimental results has been derived. A mechanism is proposed.

Theoretical studies of [n]paracyclophanes and their valence isomers

Summary The valence isomerisations of benzene, [6]- and [7]paracyclophane to their Dewar benzene and prismane isomers are studied with the MNDO method using the unrestricted Hartree-Fock (UHF) and the configuration interaction (C.I.) approximations. The enthalpy of the reaction Dewar benzene benzene is H° _r =–68.9 kcal/mol and the activation enthalpy is H°=27.9 kcal/mol (with C.I.). The reaction path hasC _2v symmetry.The determination of several points of the lowest potential energy surface of [6]- and [7]paracyclophanes leads to a minimum reaction path having the same topology as for the potential energy surface of the nonbridged benzene. The only difference is a quantitative change in the energy values of the aromatic isomers due to the deformation introduced by the alkyl chain. For [6]paracyclophane, the activation enthalpy is H°=24.6 kcal/mol and the activation entropy is S ⁰=0.6 cal K^–1 mol^–1 calculated with C.I.The enthalpy of the reaction prismane Dewar benzene is H° _r –32 kcal/mol and the activation enthalpy is H°19 kcal/mol. The highest molecular symmetry group common to both molecules isC _2v , whereas the symmetry group of the reaction path is lowered toC _s . Along this reaction path is located a biradicaloid intermediate, separated by low activation barriers from the products. No significant changes of the potential energy surfaces are found for the bridged [n]prismanes and the [n]Dewar benzenes.All the calculated values, reaction enthalpies, activation enthalpies and entropies, are in a good agreement with literature experimental data.This article is dedicated to Professor A. Pullman     

Relativistic perturbation theory of molecular structure

Summary The recently developed relativistic double perturbation theory is extended to handle relativistic changes of molecular structure more easily. This is achieved by simple coordinate scalings. Accurate higher order mixed perturbation energies for H ₂ ⁺ are calculated. The relativistic changes of bond energy,DE, of bond length,R _e , and especially of force constant,k, and of anharmonicity,a, are large, up to 100%·(Z/c)². The dominant contributions tok anda are due to the indirect change of the nonrelativistick anda connected with the relativistic change of bond length. Accordingly the relativistic changes obey Badger's and Gordy's rules (–RDEk).Dedicated to Prof. Klaus Ruedenberg in appreciation of his fundamental contributions to both formal theory and physical explanations in quantum chemistry     

Absorption spectra of 2-styryl-4-phenyl-thiazole ethiodides in organic solvents of varying polarities and determination of the formation constant of the charge transfer complex formed

The electronic absorption spectra of some 2-styryl-4-phenyl-thiazole ethiodides are studied in organic solvents of different polarities. The shorter wavelength band appearing in the visible region is assigned to an intramolecular charge transfer (CT)-transition originating from the phenyl moiety to the positively charged hetero ring, while the longer wavelength one is due to an intermolecular CT-transition from the iodide ion to the 2-styryl-4-phenyl-thiazolinium cation. These assignments are based on the nature of the aldehydic residue and effects of solvent, concentration, and temperature on both the position and absorptivity of the CT complex-band. It is concluded that the CT complex formed will be highly solvated inDMF, DMSO, ethanol and methanol relative to in CHCl₃, dioxane and acetone. The formation constant of the CT complex in solutions of different polarities is determined at different temperatures. Furthermore, the thermodynamic parameters H ^o, G ^o and S ^o for complex formation are calculated and discussed.

Die Ringinversions-Barriere in [2.2]Metacyclophan

From racemization studies on optically active [2.2]metacyclophanes substituted in position 4, the parameters of activation for the inversion of the tenmembered ring were found to be: G ₄₂₃ =31.5 kcal/mole, H =27.5 kcal/mole and S =–10 Cl/mole.Racemization does not occurvia bond forming or breaking; the value for the inversion barrier is not affected by substituents in position 4 and therefore corresponds to the value of unsubstituted [2.2]metacyclophane, whereas substituents in the bridge exert a distinct influence. These results can easily be explained on the basis of the isoconformational concept.

Effects of alkyl chain length on surface and micellar properties of octaethyleneglycol-n alkyl ethers

Summary Surface and micellar properties of a homologous series of Octaethylene glycol-n-alkyl ethers (C _n E₈;n = 9 to 15) have been studied in aqueous solutions by the surface tension measurements. The effects of the alkyl chain length comprising even and carbon numbers have been examined in order to evaluate the surface free energy G _A-W and the standard free energy G _m for the micellization obtained from their surface tension data. The areas per molecule and the equilibrium surface tension values at the CMC decreased with an increasing carbon number and they showed zigzag curves by the difference in even and odd carbon numbers.These findings may be attributed to the differences in the molecular orientation between the molecules with even carbon number and ones with odd carbon number on the air-water interface at CMC. G _A-W values decreased linearly with an increasing alkyl chain length but did not show a zigzag line by the differences in even and odd carbon numbers. This suggests that the molecular orientation is not influenced by the difference between their even and odd carbon numbers in the alkyl chain on the surface of the very diluted solution, and their molecules form some stable adsorbed films with an increase of the alkyl chain length. A division of G _A-W into the contribution made both by the hydrophilic group G _A-W (-W) and by the hydrophobic group G _A-W (-CH₂-) was attempted as follows; G _A-W (-CH₂-) = – 0.80 kcal/mol and G _a-W (-W) = + 0.15 kcal/mol.The free energy changes G _m of micellization were discussed on the basis of the CMC data obtained from the surface tension measurements by treating the formation of micelles as analogous to phase separation, and the contribution from the each moieties in the molecule were calculated as follows; G _m (-CH₂-) = – 0.68 kcal/mol and G _m (-W) = + 1.54 kcal/mol. The difference between G _A-W and G _m is discussed using their data.     

The Influence of Dimerization of Water-Soluble Metalloporphyrins as Photosensitizers on the Efficiency of Generation of Singlet Oxygen

Quantum yields () for the generation of singlet oxygen sensitized by Pd(II) complexes of water-soluble porphyrins: meso-tetrakis(4-N-methylpyridyl)porphine [PdTMPyP]⁴⁺ ( = 0.9), meso-tetrakis(4-N,N,N-trimethylaminophenyl)porphine [PdTTMAPP]⁴⁺ ( = 0.8), meso-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphine [PdTCPP]^4– ( = 0.7), and meso-tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphine [PdTSPP]^4– ( = 0.5) were determined using a chemical method. It was found that the dimerization and aggregation of metalloporphyrins greatly influence the value. The quantum yields evaluated for the formation of singlet oxygen sensitized by metalloporphyrin monomeric and dimeric forms are _{, M} 0.9 and _{, D} 0.2, respectively, and do not depend on the porphyrin nature.     

Kinetics and mechanism of oxidation ofd-xylose by Mn(III) pyrophosphate

The oxidation ofd-xylose by Mn(III) pyrophosphate in sulphuric acid has been found to be first order with respect to [Mn(III)]. Variation of rate with [d-xylose] suggests the rapid formation of reversible cyclic complex between Mn(III) and id-xylose, which further disproportionates in a slow rate determining step. Oxidation rate has been found to increase with [H⁺]. Retardation of rate due to [pyrophosphate] and increase due to [Mn(II)] have been also observed. The value of thermodynamic parameters E, S, and G have been found to be 17.6±0.1 kcal/mole, –10.1±0.1 e.u. and 20.6±0.1 kcal/ mole respectively. A mechanism involving a free radical has been proposed for the reaction under study.     

Marked differences between acetonitrile/water and methanol/water mobile phase systems on the thermodynamic behavior of benzodiazepines in reversed phase liquid chromatography

Summary Two different methods were used to determine the separation factor at different temperatures and the Gibbs-Helmholtz parameters ((H), (S)) of two adjacent benzodiazepines on a chromatogram were obtained from plots of ln versus 1/T. We first studied each factor (fraction of water in the ACN/water mixture and column temperatureT), which controls the retention mechanism, and then we examined the simultaneous variation of all these factors. The changes in (H) and (S) in relation to a volume fraction of water in an ACN/water mixture were examined. In the ACN/water system, (H) was fairly constant in the acetonitrile region of 0.52 and appears to be a roughly linear function of for 0.52. In this system (S) is approximately a parabolic function of with an optimum at 0.52. The retention mechanism of ten benzodiazepines was found to be significantly different in the methanol/water and ACN/water mixtures. The separation optimization of these ten benzodiazepines was then considered. A fraction of water of 0.43 in the ACN/water mixture and a column temperature of 44°C gave the most efficient separation conditions in the ACN/water mixture.     

Polyparametric modification equation for estimating thermodynamic properties of energetic nitro compounds

Calculation methods, based on hybrid density-functional theory with the basis sets of B3LYP/ 6-311+G (2d, p)//B3LYP/6-31G(d, p)and B3LYP/6-31+G(d)//B3LYP/6-31G(d, p), were applied to determine the thermodynamic characteristics of various energetic nitro compounds. A parametric modification equation and the least-squares approach were used to identify 21 of the energetic research compounds. The atomization energies of these 21 compounds have an average relative error of 0.21–0.25% of the experimental values. The enthalpy (H _f) and the Gibbs energy (G _f) of formation have mean absolute errors of 10.8–11.4 kJ/ mol (2.6–2.7 kcal/mol) and 10.0–10.3 kJ/mol (2.4 kcal/ mol), respectively. The enthalpy and the Gibbs energy of formation obtained exceed those in the literature obtained by semiempirical calculations. The calibrated least-squares parameters and parametric equations were used to predict H _f and G _f for the five newly developed energetic nitro compounds for further applications.Acknowledgements.
