Determination of kinetic parameters of enzyme-catalyzed reaction a + B + C --> products with the minimum number of velocity measurements.

ABSTRACT: Rapid-equilibrium rate equations are derived for the five different mechanisms for the enzymatic catalysis of A + B + C --> products using a computer. These rate equations are used to determine the minimum number of velocities required to estimate the values of the kinetic parameters. The rate equation for the completely ordered mechanism involves four kinetic parameters, and the rate equation for the completely random mechanism involves eight kinetic parameters. Therefore, the four to eight kinetic parameters can be estimated by determining four to eight velocities and solving four to eight simultaneous equations. General recommendations are made as to the choices of triplets of substrate concentrations {[A], [B], [C]} to be used to determine the velocities. The effects of 5% errors in the measured velocities, one at a time, are calculated and are summarized in tables. Calculations of effects of experimental errors are useful in choosing the triplets of substrate concentrations to be used to obtain the most accurate values of the kinetic parameters. When the kinetic parameters for A + B + C --> products are to be determined for the first time, it is recommended that the program for the completely random mechanism be used because it can identify the mechanism and determine the kinetic parameters in one operation.

Determination of rapid-equilibrium kinetic parameters of ordered and random enzyme-catalyzed reaction A+B=P+Q.

Project description:This article deals with the rapid-equilibrium kinetics of the forward and reverse reactions together for the ordered and random enzyme-catalyzed A+B=P+Q and emphasizes the importance of reporting the values of the full set of equilibrium constants. Equilibrium constants that are not in the rate equation can be calculated for random mechanisms using thermodynamic cycles. This treatment is based on the use of a computer to derive rate equations for three mechanisms and to estimate the kinetic parameters with the minimum number of velocity measurements. The most general of these three programs is the one to use first when the mechanism for A+B=P+Q is studied for the first time. This article shows the effects of experimental errors in velocity measurements on the values of the kinetic parameters and on the apparent equilibrium constant calculated using the Haldane relation.

Determination of Asphaltene Critical Nanoaggregate Concentration Region Using Ultrasound Velocity Measurements.

Project description:Asphaltenes constitute the heaviest, most polar and aromatic fraction of petroleum crucial to the formation of highly-stable water-in-crude oil emulsions. The latter occur during crude oil production as well as spills and cause difficulties to efficient remediation practice. It is thought that in nanoaggregate form, asphaltenes create elastic layers around water droplets enhancing stability of the emulsion matrix. Ultrasonic characterisation is a high-resolution non-invasive tool in colloidal analysis shown to successfully identify asphaltene nanoaggregation in toluene. The high sensitivity of acoustic velocity to molecular rearrangements and ease in implementation renders it an attractive method to study asphaltene phase properties. Currently, aggregation is thought to correspond to an intersection of two concentration-ultrasonic velocity regressions. Our measurements indicate a variation in the proximity of nanoaggregation which is not accounted for by present models. We attribute this uncertainty to physico-chemical heterogeneity of the asphaltene fraction driven by variation in molecular size and propose a critical nanoaggregation region. We treated asphaltenes from North and South American crude oils with ruthenium ion catalysed oxidation to characterize their n-alkyl appendages attached to aromatic cores. Principal component analysis was performed to investigate the coupling between asphaltene structures and velocity measurements and their impact on aggregation.

Optimal Acquisition Number for Hepatic Shear Wave Velocity Measurements in Children.

Project description:ObjectiveTo investigate the minimum optimal acquisition number of hepatic shear wave velocities (SWVs) on ultrasound elastography in children.Materials and methodsWe prospectively performed hepatic supersonic shear wave elastography in children of four groups (group A-C, healthy children, group A with 0-5 years old; group B with 6-10 years old; group C with 11-18 years old; and group D, children with previous Kasai operation) with free breathing (FB) and breath holding (BH) status, if possible. SWVs were measured fifteen times for each child at a 4 cm depth for the right lobe using a 1-6 MHz convex transducer. Mean SWVs from three, five, and seven acquisitions were compared to the mean SWV from fifteen measurements, using an intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) analyzed with the 1,000 times bootstrap method.ResultsTotal eighty-eight children were included (25 children in group A, 30 children in group B, 21 children in group C, and 12 children in group D). The mean SWVs from fifteen measurements in FB status were 5.5 ± 1.3 kPa for groups A-C together and 8.0 ± 2.2 kPa for group D. For all groups together, mean SWVs from the three (ICC 0.944 and 0.937), five (ICC 0.958 and 0.938) and seven (ICC 0.969 and 0.941) acquisitions demonstrated almost perfect agreement with the reference of fifteen acquisitions in both FB and BH status, respectively. A subgroup analysis showed three measurements were in almost perfect agreement during FB for groups B-D and strong agreement (ICC 0.675) for group A.ConclusionThree acquisitions can be enough for hepatic SWVs in children more than 6 years old regardless of breathing status or hepatic pathology. More acquisitions are recommended for children under the age of 5 years during FB.

Accurate label-free reaction kinetics determination using initial rate heat measurements.

Project description:Accurate label-free methods or assays to obtain the initial reaction rates have significant importance in fundamental studies of enzymes and in application-oriented high throughput screening of enzyme activity. Here we introduce a label-free approach for obtaining initial rates of enzyme activity from heat measurements, which we name initial rate calorimetry (IrCal). This approach is based on our new finding that the data recorded by isothermal titration calorimetry for the early stages of a reaction, which have been widely ignored, are correlated to the initial rates. Application of the IrCal approach to various enzymes led to accurate enzyme kinetics parameters as compared to spectroscopic methods and enabled enzyme kinetic studies with natural substrate, e.g. proteases with protein substrates. Because heat is a label-free property of almost all reactions, the IrCal approach holds promise in fundamental studies of various enzymes and in use of calorimetry for high throughput screening of enzyme activity.

Kinetic Modeling of a Consecutive Enzyme-Catalyzed Enantioselective Reaction in Supercritical Media.

Project description:Based on experimental data of both batch and continuous enzyme-catalyzed kinetic resolutions of (±)-trans-1,2-cyclohexanediol in supercritical carbon dioxide, kinetic models of increasing complexity were developed to explore the strengths and drawbacks of various modeling approaches. The simplest, first-order model proved to be a good fit for the batch experimental data in regions of high reagent concentrations but failed elsewhere. A more complex system that closely follows the true mechanism was able to fit the full range of experimental data, find constant reaction rate coefficients, and was successfully used to predict the results of the same reaction run continuously in a packed bed reactor. Care must be taken when working with such models, however, to avoid problems of overfitting; a more complex model is not always more accurate. This work may serve as an example for more rigorous reaction modeling and reactor design in the future.

Using macular velocity measurements to relate parameters of bone conduction to vestibular compound action potential responses.

Project description:To examine mechanisms responsible for vestibular afferent sensitivity to transient bone conducted vibration, we performed simultaneous measurements of stimulus-evoked vestibular compound action potentials (vCAPs), utricular macula velocity, and vestibular microphonics (VMs) in anaesthetized guinea pigs. Results provide new insights into the kinematic variables of transient motion responsible for triggering mammalian vCAPs, revealing synchronized vestibular afferent responses are not universally sensitive to linear jerk as previously thought. For short duration stimuli (< 1 ms), the vCAP increases magnitude in close proportion to macular velocity and temporal bone (linear) acceleration, rather than other kinematic elements. For longer duration stimuli, the vCAP magnitude switches from temporal bone acceleration sensitive to linear jerk sensitive while maintaining macular velocity sensitivity. Frequency tuning curves evoked by tone-burst stimuli show vCAPs increase in proportion to onset macular velocity, while VMs increase in proportion to macular displacement across the entire frequency bandwidth tested between 0.1 and 2 kHz. The subset of vestibular afferent neurons responsible for synchronized firing and vCAPs have been shown previously to make calyceal synaptic contacts with type I hair cells in the striolar region of the epithelium and have irregularly spaced inter-spike intervals at rest. Present results provide new insight into mechanical and neural mechanisms underlying synchronized action potentials in these sensitive afferents, with clinical relevance for understanding the activation and tuning of neurons responsible for driving rapid compensatory reflex responses.

Determination of SLES in Personal Care Products by Colloid Titration with Light Reflection Measurements.

Project description:The method of colloid titration with poly(diallyldimethylammonium) chloride has been improved to detect the endpoint with an off-vessel light reflectance sensor. The digital color sensor used measures light reflectance by means of light guides, with no immersion into the reaction solution. In such a method, the optical signal is free of disturbances caused by sticky flocs in the solution. The improved automatic titration set was applied for the determination of sodium laureth sulfate (SLES) in industrial batches and commercial personal care products. The sample color and opacity do not disturb the SLES quantification. When the SLES content lies in the range from 5% to 9%, the optimal sample weight is from 6 g to 3 g.

The palladium-catalyzed aerobic kinetic resolution of secondary alcohols: reaction development, scope, and applications.

Project description:The first palladium-catalyzed enantioselective oxidation of secondary alcohols has been developed, utilizing the readily available diamine (-)-sparteine as a chiral ligand and molecular oxygen as the stoichiometric oxidant. Mechanistic insights regarding the role of the base and hydrogen-bond donors have resulted in several improvements to the original system. Namely, addition of cesium carbonate and tert-butyl alcohol greatly enhances reaction rates, promoting rapid resolutions. The use of chloroform as solvent allows the use of ambient air as the terminal oxidant at 23 degrees C, resulting in enhanced catalyst selectivity. These improved reaction conditions have permitted the successful kinetic resolution of benzylic, allylic, and cyclopropyl secondary alcohols to high enantiomeric excess with good-to-excellent selectivity factors. This catalyst system has also been applied to the desymmetrization of meso-diols, providing high yields of enantioenriched hydroxyketones.

Ozonation of carbamazepine and its main transformation products: product determination and reaction mechanisms.

Project description:Carbamazepine (CBZ) is a recalcitrant pharmaceutical often detected in wastewater and in the environment. CBZ can be removed from wastewater through advanced oxidation treatment methods such as ozonation. In this study, CBZ and its transformation product 1-(2-benzaldehyde)-(1H,3H)-quinazoline-2,4-dione (BQD) were ozonated, and the formation and transformation of their ozonation products were investigated using liquid chromatography coupled to ion trap mass spectrometry and high-resolution mass spectrometry as well as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The main products, 1-(2-benzaldehyde)-4-hydro-(1H,3H)-quinazoline-2-one (BQM) and BQD were quantified using isolated standards and LC-UV. Of the original CBZ concentration, 74% was transformed into BQM and 83% of BQM was further transformed into BQD. Both products are more stable than CBZ and could still be detected after 240 min of ozonation. Another major product, 2,2'-azanediyldibenzaldehyde (TP225) was for the first time identified using NMR. Twelve further CBZ products were identified.

Applicability of fluorescence-based sensors to the determination of kinetic parameters for O? in oxygenases.

Project description:Optical methods for O2 determination based on dynamic fluorescence quenching have been applied to measure oxygen uptake rates in cell culture and to determine intracellular oxygen levels. Here we demonstrate the applicability of fluorescence-based probes in determining kinetic parameters for O2 using as an example catalysis by a cofactor-independent oxygenase (DpgC). Fluorescence-based sensors provide a direct assessment of enzyme-catalyzed O2 consumption using commercially available, low-cost instrumentation that is easily customizable and, thus, constitutes a convenient alternative to the widely used Clark-type electrode, especially in cases where chemical interference is expected to be problematic.
