A New Approach to Producing Metaphosphates and Phosphorylating in Mild Conditions

Abstract

The fomation of monomeric metaphosphate has been postulated before, mainly i pyrolytic [1,2] or photolytic [3] fragmentation reactions. Meantime, these reactive intermediats are presumed to participate in the processes of electrophilic phosphorylation in living organisms [4]. In this connection it is reasonable that an active interest is being shown in the development of methods of generating metaphosphates in mild conditions [4–7] compatible with biological systems in order to simulate biological phosphoryl-transfer reactions.     

Redox modification of proteins using sequential-parallel electrochemistry in microtiter plates

Redox modification of proteins has frequently been used to improve the electron-transfer properties in amperometric biosensors. One approach is the coordinative labelling of histidine residues with metal complexes like [Ru(bpy)2Cl2] and [Ru(bpy)2CO3]. Although the reaction depends on a variety of parameters no detailed optimisation of these modification procedures has been done, most probably due to the complexity of the parameter matrix and the expected differences for any individual protein. A multi electrode sequential analyser (MESA) system has been developed which allows one to follow in a sequential-parallel scheme a number of modification reactions by performing electrochemical measurements such as cyclic voltammetry or differential pulse voltammetry in individual wells of a conventional microtiter plate. Using this system, the ligand exchange reaction leading to the binding of the Ru-complex to histidine residues could be investigated with imidazole as a model compound. Furthermore, the selective labelling of soluble PQQ (pyrrolochinolinquinone)-dependent glucose dehydrogenase (sGDH) and glucose oxidase (GOx) with Ru complexes could be optimised and the electrochemical and biological properties of the obtained 'electroenzymes' were examined.

Characterization of a DAPI-RIT-DAPI System for Gas-Phase Ion/Molecule and Ion/Ion Reactions

The discontinuous atmospheric pressure interface (DAPI) has been developed as a facile means for efficiently introducing ions generated at atmospheric pressure to an ion trap in vacuum [e.g., a rectilinear ion trap (RIT)] for mass analysis. Introduction of multiple beams of ions or neutral species through two DAPIs into a single RIT has been previously demonstrated. In this study, a home-built instrument with a DAPI-RIT-DAPI configuration has been characterized for the study of gas-phase ion/molecule and ion/ion reactions. The reaction species, including ions or neutrals, can be introduced from both ends of the RIT through the two DAPIs without complicated ion optics or differential pumping stages. The primary reactant ions were isolated prior to reaction and the product ions were mass analyzed after controlled reaction time period. Ion/molecule reactions involving peptide radical ions and proton-transfer ion/ion reactions have been carried out using this instrument. The gas dynamic effect due to the DAPI operation on internal energy deposition and the reactivity of peptide radical ions has been characterized. The DAPI-RIT-DAPI system also has a unique feature for allowing the ion reactions to be carried out at significantly elevated pressures (in 10^–1 Torr range), which has been found to be helpful to speed up the reactions. The viability and flexibility of the DAPI-RIT-DAPI system for the study of gas-phase ion reactions have been demonstrated.

环戊二烯基钌配合物催化的高选择性苯乙炔二聚反应

Transition metal vinylidene complexes (M=C=CHR) have attracted a great deal of attention in recent years as a new type of organometallic intermediates that may have unusual reactivity[1]. Their reactivity has been explored and their application to organic synthesis is developed[2]. Recent reports on the ruthenium-vinylidene complexes[3]suggest that the reaction of ruthenium-vinylidene complexes with a base generates the coordinatively unsaturated ruthenium acetylide species, which are involved in a number of catalytic and stoichiometric reactions of alkynes. For example,the coordinatively unsaturated ruthenium acetylide species C5Me5Ru(PPh3)-C≡CPh,formed from the reaction of the vinylidene complex C5Me5Ru(PPh3) (Cl)=C=CHPh with a base was reactive toward a variety of small molecules and active in catalytic dimerization of terminal alkynes[4]. The dimerization of terminal alkyne is an effective method of forming enynes, but its synthetic application in organic synthesis has been limited dueto low selectivity for dimeric products[5]. In this communication, we report that three ruthenium complexes were used as catalysts for the highly selective dimerization of phenylacetylene.     

Electron transfer reactions of V(IV) with Cl(I), Br(I) and I(I). A kinetic study

A kinetic study on the oxidation of V(IV) by chloramine-T (CAT) at pH 6.85 by N-bromo succinimide (NBS) in aqueous acetic acid–perchloric acid media and by N-iodo succinimide (NIS) in aqueous perchloric acid medium has been carried out. In all the systems studied the order with respect to the oxidant is unity. NBS and CAT oxidation reactions exhibited Michaelis–Menten type kinetics, and the NIS study indicated unit dependence on [substrate]. Independence on acidity has been observed in the case of CAT and NBS reactions, but NIS reactions exhibited inverse unit dependence on [acid]. Novel solvent influences have been noticed in the case of CAT reactions, but with NIS and NBS reactions retardation in the rate has been observed with an increase in the percentage of acetic acid. Plausible mechanisms consistent with the results have been postulated, and suitable rate laws in consonance with the postulated mechanisms have been derived.     

Synthesis of a new complex Chromium (Ⅲ) 2-mercaptonicotinate

Chromium is an essential trace element for mammals[1-3].Diabetes is a chronic disease with major health consequence. Studies show that the occurrence of diabetes have great thing to do with the chromium deficient. Almost 40 years after the first report of glucose tolerance factor(GTF)[4]no conclusive evidence for an isolable ,biologically active form of chromium exited. Three materials have been proposed to be the biologically active form of chromium: "glucose tolerance factor", chromium Picolinate and low-molecular-weight chromium-binding substance (LWMCr)[5]So there is potential for the design of new chromium drugs[6].Chromium compounds have been used in medicine for centuries and there is potential for the design of new chromium drugs.2-Mercaptonicotinic acid(MN) displays the interesting biological activity. Chromium( Ⅲ )2-mercaptonicotinate is a common and effective biologically active form of Chromium. The test of biological activity indicated that may be useful in treating of diabetes. In this paper, we reported the The synthesis route is as follow:The structure of the complex has been characterized by IR, elemental analysis, MS,atomic absorption spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction and TG-DTA analysis.They indicate that the structure of Chromium 2-mercaptonicotinate.HPLC is used for determination of the purity. Studies show that the complex has a good biological activity for supplement tiny dietary chromium,lowering blood glucose levels, lowering serum lipid levels and increasing lean body mass.

Solvent-Activated Hafnium-Containing Zeolites Enable Selective and Continuous Glucose–Fructose Isomerisation

The isomerisation of glucose to fructose is a critical step towards manufacturing petroleum-free chemicals from lignocellulosic biomass. Herein we show that Hf-containing zeolites are unique catalysts for this reaction, enabling true thermodynamic equilibrium to be achieved in a single step during intensified continuous operation, which no chemical or biological catalyst has yet been able to achieve. Unprecedented single-pass yields of 58 % are observed at a fructose selectivity of 94 %, and continuous operation for over 100 hours is demonstrated. The unexpected performance of the catalyst is realised following a period of activation within the reactor, during which time interaction with the solvent generates a state of activity that is absent in the synthesised catalyst. Mechanistic studies by X-ray absorption spectroscopy, chemisorption FTIR, operando UV/Vis and ¹H–¹³C HSQC NMR spectroscopy indicate that activity arises from isolated Hf^IV atoms with monofunctional acidic properties.     

Oscillatory reaction using immobilized catalase.

Oscillation is found in many biological systems, and among them the enzymatic oscillatory reaction has been well studied using an enzyme solution. We show in this study for the first time that oscillation occurs when catalase is immobilized to controlled pore glass (CPG). The oscillatory wave mode changes with the distance among the CPG, electrode, or dialysis membrane. The lower substrate concentration results in oscillation with a longer period. This tendency agrees with a previous study using an enzyme solution. Furthermore, we show that the oscillation occurs when no dialysis membrane is used. These results show the wider applicability of the system to analysis or novel device fabrication.     

Copolymerization of 2-Hydroxy.(2,3-epoxypropoxy)benzophenone with Phthalanhydride Catalyzed by Tertiary Amine

The copolymerization of an epoxide, 2-hydroxy-4-(2,3-epoxy-propoxy)benzophenone, with cyclic anhydride catalyzed by tertiary amine in different solvents was studied. The copolymerization curves are sigmoidal in character with an induction period. In the region following the induction period, the loss in epoxide or anhydride may be correlated with the kinetic equation of the first order reaction provided the monomers are present in equimolar ratio or anhydride is in excess with respect to epoxide. The rate constant found experimentally after the induction period depends on the first power of the concentrations of amine, epoxide, and anhydride. The activation energy of copolymerization in o-xylene is 58.2 kJ/mole (13.9 kcal/mole) and log A = 3.6. The rate of copolymerization depends on polarity of the solvent and increases with dielectric constant. A reaction scheme has been proposed for the copolymerization of epoxides with cyclic anhydrides catalyzed by tertiary amines which involves the formation of a catalytic center of ionic character by isomerization of epoxide into a derivative of allyl alcohol and its subsequent interaction with tertiary amine and anhydride in equilibrium reactions, In this way, an active center of the carboxylic anion type is formed which reacts with epoxide to give alkoxide anion. This alkoxide anion reacts with anhydride to yield carboxylic anion. By interchange of these reactions, an alternating copolymer-polyester arises. The termination involves the decay of the active center into tertiary amine and carboxylic or hydroxylic endgroups. The kinetic solution of this scheme is in agreement with the experimental results of kinetic measurements and the rate of copolymerization is governed by the equation: -d[epoxide] /dt = k_p [amine] ₀ [epoxide]₀ [anhydride]₀ [epoxide].     

Experimental and modeling study of the oxidation of 1‐butyne and 2‐butyne

Ignition delays were measured behind shock waves in the cases of hydrocarbon–oxygen–argon mixtures containing 1‐butyne or 2‐butyne (1 or 2% of hydrocarbons for equivalence ratios from 0.5 to 2). Reflected shock waves permitted to obtain temperatures from 1100 to 1600 K and pressures from 6.3 to 9.1 atm. A detailed mechanism of the reactions of 1‐butyne and 2‐butyne has been explained in the line of the mechanism developed previously for the reaction of C₃–C₄ unsaturated hydrocarbons (propyne, allene, 1,3‐butadiene) [Int J chem Kin 1999, 31, 361]. It is based on the most recent kinetic data values published in the literature and is consistent with thermochemistry. This mechanism has been validated by comparing the results of our simulations to the experimental results obtained for ignition delays in our shock tube and to measurements of species obtained during thermal decomposition [Int J Chem Kin 1995, 27, 321; J Phys Chem 1993, 97, 10977]. The main reaction pathways have been derived from flow‐rate and sensitivity analyses. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet 34: 172–183, 2002; DOI 10.1002/kin.10035     

N‐Heterocyclic Olefin–Carbon Dioxide and –Sulfur Dioxide Adducts: Structures and Interesting Reactivity Patterns

Depending on the amount of methanol present in solution, CO₂ adducts of N‐heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) and N‐heterocyclic olefins (NHOs) have been found to be in fully reversible equilibrium with the corresponding methyl carbonate salts [EMIm][OCO₂Me] and [EMMIm][OCO₂Me]. The reactivity pattern of representative 1‐ethyl‐3‐methyl‐NHO–CO₂ adduct 4 has been investigated and compared with the corresponding NHC–CO₂ zwitterion: The protonation of 4 with HX led to the imidazolium salts [NHO–CO₂H][X], which underwent decarboxylation to [EMMIm][X] in the presence of nucleophilic catalysts. NHO–CO₂ zwitterion 4 can act as an efficient carboxylating agent towards CH acids such as acetonitrile. The [EMMIm] cyanoacetate and [EMMIm]₂ cyanomalonate salts formed exemplify the first C?C bond‐forming carboxylation reactions with NHO‐activated CO₂. The reaction of the free NHO with dimethyl carbonate selectively led to methoxycarbonylated NHO, which is a perfect precursor for the synthesis of functionalized ILs [NHO–CO₂Me][X]. The first NHO‐SO₂ adduct was synthesized and structurally characterized; it showed a similar reactivity pattern, which allowed the synthesis of imidazolium methyl sulfites upon reaction with methanol.     

A Potentiometric Study of the Briggs–Rauscher Oscillatory Reaction in a Solution of Nonionic Surfactants and tert‐Butanol

The concentration effect of nonionic surfactants (Triton X‐100, Brij 30, Brij 58, Tween 20, and Tween 80) and tert‐butanol was investigated on the Briggs–Rauscher oscillatory reaction in a stirred batch reactor at 25 ± 0.1°C in both the absence and presence of nonionic surfactant and tert‐butanol as well. The addition of Triton X‐100, Brij 58, and Tween 20 influenced the oscillatory parameters in a similar fashion: a decrease of the induction period until its disappearance, an increase of the oscillation period, an increase of the oscillation amplitude, an increase of the duration of the oscillation, and a gradual increase of the oscillation numbers. The addition of Brij 30 has no significant effect on the oscillation parameters of the Briggs‐Rauscher oscillatory reaction. The effect of tert‐butanol on the Briggs–Rauscher oscillatory reaction is very similar to the effect of Brij 58; however, we were unable to observe the disappearance of the induction period on the studied concentration range. The addition of Tween 80 to the reaction mixture has a similar effect as the addition of Triton X‐100, Brij 58, or Tween 20, except for the induction period, which in the case of Tween 80, it becomes larger. The observed effects are explained in terms of micellar catalysis or inhibition, that is, in a different extent of individual reactants of solubilization.     

A novel electrochemical approach to the characterization of oxidoreductase reactions

Electrochemical methods based on enzyme-electrochemical reactions have been developed for studying oxidoreductase reactions. The methods measure a current resulting from an oxidoreductase reaction with an electrode serving as a final electron acceptor (or donor) in the reaction. A theoretical equation for the enzyme-electrochemical reaction, called bioelectrocatalysis, is derived, which enables kinetic analysis of the reaction. In combination with spectrophotometry, the electrochemical method provides a method for determining the redox potentials of proteins and enzymes. An alternative method based on bulk electrolysis in a quartz cell for UV-vis spectroscopy has been developed for the measurements of protein redox potentials on a conventional spectrophotometer. The electrochemical methods are applied to kinetic and thermodynamic analyses for the reactions of a variety of enzymes including a newly discovered enzyme, quinohemoprotein amine dehydrogenase (QH-AmDH), and bilirubin oxidase (BOD) [EC 1.3.3.5, from Myrothecium verrucaria], a copper-containing enzyme useful for bioelectrocatalytic O(2) reduction in biofuel cells. The electrochemical method for kinetic analysis has been successfully applied to the analysis of oxidoreductase reactions in vivo, as demonstrated by the reaction of glucose dehydrogenase in Escherichia coli. The advantages of the electrochemical methods are discussed.

DYE BINDING AND PHOTODYNAMIC ACTION

A variety of natural and synthetic compounds can act as effective photosensitizers in biological systems, including psoralens, flavins, porphyrins, acridines, phenothiazines, xanthenes, quinones, polyenes, haloaromatics and inorganic ions. These, in the presence of light and oxygen, inactivate and modify the integrity of important biomolecules and cellular structures, leading to cell death, mutation and other special function losses [70,118,119]. Many photosensitizers can act as mediators of photodynamic and non-photodynamic reactions, depending on the experimental conditions. Although a great variety of photosensitized reactions may occur with different sensitizers and substrates, they can be classified into two types of reaction mechanisms, that is, Type I (radical) and Type II (singlet oxygen; ¹O₂) mechanisms. Type I and Type II reactions for important biomolecules have recently been reviewed [27, 119].     

Photosensitization reaction-induced acute electrophysiological cell response of rat myocardial cells in short loading periods of talaporfin sodium or porfimer sodium

Electrophysiological responses of rat myocardial cells to exogenous photosensitization reactions for a short period of incubation with two photosensitizers, talaporfin sodium or porfimer sodium, were measured in a subsecond time scale. The loading period of the photosensitizer when the photosensitizer might not be taken up by the cells was selected as 15min, which was determined by the fluorescence microscopic observation. We measured the intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+) ](in) ) by using a fluorescent Ca(2+) indicator, Fluo-4 AM, under a high-speed confocal laser microscope to evaluate the acute electrophysiological cell response to the photosensitization reaction. The measured temporal change in Fluo-4 fluorescence intensity indicated that the response to the photosensitization reaction might be divided into two phases in both photosensitizers. The first phase is acute response: disappearance of Ca(2+) oscillation when irradiation starts, which might be caused by ion channel dysfunction. The second phase is slow response: [Ca(2+) ](in) elevation indicating influx of Ca(2+) due to the concentration gradient. The continuous Ca(2+) influx followed by changes in cell morphology suggested micropore formation on the surface of the cell membrane, resulting in necrotic cell death.
