Some enzymes require cofactors to activate catalysis. Typical cofactors are metal atoms, ammonia, and small organic molecules that associate with the enzyme and help to structure the catalytic site. To conduct an enz5anatic reaction, the necessary cofactors must be suppUed along with the substrate and the enzyme. In cell metabolism, a variety of these cofactors act in conjunction with inhibitors to control the metabolic rate. 

The oxidation of CO at low temperatures was the first reaction discovered as an example of the highly active catalysis by gold [1]. Carbon monoxide is a very toxic gas and its concentration in indoor air is regulated to 10-50 ppm depending on the conditions [61]. An important point is that CO is the only gas that cannot be removed from indoor air by gas adsorption with activated carbon. On the other hand, metal oxides or noble metal catalysts can oxidize CO at room temperature.

Unconsumed substrates are treated as substrates or essential activators in deriving rate equations and studying detailed mechanisms. Nonetheless, one must indicate whether an unconsumed substrate (U) remains bound to the enzyme or not (in this case, U also becomes an unaltered product) in the reaction scheme. In practice, unconsumed substrates are likely to be involved in all the typical multisubstrate kinetic mechanisms Only one case is illustrated here, namely that the unconsumed substrate Su activates catalysis when bound in a rapid-equilibrium ordered mechanism ...

In the presence of alkali metal the solubility of aluminum in the reaction mixture increases considerably, and it is undoubtedly the dissolved part of the metal which catalyzes the esterification in a homogeneous reaction. When the residue is filtered off, this time after a reaction period of 45 minutes, the esterification proceeds at the same speed as without filtration. The filtered residue can be used effectively again and again so that, in the case of the alkali-activated catalysis, it may be denied that only specific active regions of the solid catalyze the reaction.

There are four important conditions for Au to be active as a catalyst in oxidation (1) strong junction with reducible metal oxides, (2) H20, (3) OH- and (4) the size of Au particles and films. At least two conditions should be fulfilled for Au to exhibit high catalytic activity. Catalysis by Au is often promoted by water and alkaline but destroyed by acids, which presents an interesting research topic in catalysis science. 

A large number of boratabenzene transition-metal complexes have been described. For instance, the multinuclear complex (141) has been obtained through the original Herberich route from cobaltocene with FcBBr2 (equation 37). Notably, a rhodium complex has recently been reported to be useful in C-H activation catalysis. ...

A primary concern in the investigation of CO2 activation catalysis is an examination of the stoichiometric reactions this molecule undergoes with transition metal complexes. The most important of these reactions are the insertions of CO2 into metal-hydrogen, -carbon, and -oxygen bonds, because these often represent the first steps in the conversion of CO2 into organic compounds.

The importance of the porphyrin macrocycle to biology can not be overstated 1-3), Heme-based enzymes and proteins, which contain iron porphyrins in their active sites, are ubiquitous in biological systems. In mammals, key metabolic and catabolic pathways are mediated by these metallomacrocycles, including oxygen transport, storage and activation, catalysis, membrane transport, electron transfer, and substrate sensing (4). In... 

The internal coordination sphere of Ni(II), Co(II), Rh(III), Pd(II), Pt(II,IV) and Ir(III, IV) complexes is maintained during ion exchange. However, Ru, Os, and Pd(IV) complexes break down thereby causing heterogenized metal complexes (HMC) based on them to lose their catalytic activity. Catalysis in the presence of HMC proceeds directly on ionic group sites. 

The contribution of Menz et al is welcomed as providing essential information for the difficult task still ahead of satisfactorily correlating structure with events of substrate binding, covalent catalysis, and product release. For this task, it needs to be recognized that forms revealed by X-ray analysis of static inhibited enzymes may not appear as such during active catalysis, even though they are likely representative of most intermediate forms. ...
