Reactions, biochemical

Many biochemical reactions are involved in converting and storing energy, and the primary consideration is the chemical potential at which the product is recovered, rather than the yield. Consider the simple reaction... [Pg.2822]

This section presents tire basic tlieoretical principles of condensed phase electron transport in chemical and biochemical reactions. [Pg.2975]

Most chemically reacting systems tliat we encounter are not tliennodynamically controlled since reactions are often carried out under non-equilibrium conditions where flows of matter or energy prevent tire system from relaxing to equilibrium. Almost all biochemical reactions in living systems are of tliis type as are industrial processes carried out in open chemical reactors. In addition, tire transient dynamics of closed systems may occur on long time scales and resemble tire sustained behaviour of systems in non-equilibrium conditions. A reacting system may behave in unusual ways tliere may be more tlian one stable steady state, tire system may oscillate, sometimes witli a complicated pattern of oscillations, or even show chaotic variations of chemical concentrations. [Pg.3054]

For the bioinformatician the emphasis lies on how a gene expresses a protein -an enzyme - that catalyzes a biochemical reaction (Figure 10.3-13). [Pg.556]

We aim to show below how an explicit coding of the chemical structures of the starting materials and products of biochemical reactions and their reaction centers might allow us to achieve progress in our understanding of biochemical pathways. Furthermore, it will be shown how a bridge between chemoinformatics and bioinformatics can be built. [Pg.558]

For several decades, the poster Biochemical Pathways, edited by G. Michal, and initially distributed by Bochringcr Mannheim, now Roche Diagnostics, has been a cornerstone for providing information on biochemical reactions. Figure 10.3-20 shows a part of this poster. Building on the poster, an atlas has been issued [19]. [Pg.559]

The importance of this information on biochemical reactions is emphasized by the fact that an image of the poster is also accessible on the ExPASy seiwer [20]. However, for this purpose, the poster has only been scanned. The ExPASy server provides a static image of the information on this web site, augmented only by links to additional information. [Pg.559]

Clearly, the nex.t step will be to investigate the physicochemical effects, such as charge distribution and inductive and resonance effects, at the reaction center to obtain a deeper insight into the mechanisms of these biochemical reactions and the finer details of similar reactions. Here, it should be emphasized that biochemical reactions arc ruled and driven basically by the same effects as organic reactions. Figure 10.3-22 compares the Claisen condensation of acetic esters to acctoacctic esters with the analogous biochemical reaction in the human body. [Pg.561]

This is not the place to expose in detail the problems and the solutions already obtained in studying biochemical reaction networks. However, because of the importance of this problem and the great recent interest in understanding metabolic networks, we hope to throw a little light on this area. Figure 10.3-23 shows a model for the metabolic pathways involved in the central carbon metabolism of Escherichia coli through glycolysis and the pentose phosphate pathway [22]. [Pg.562]

In biological systems molecular assemblies connected by non-covalent interactions are as common as biopolymers. Examples arc protein and DNA helices, enzyme-substrate and multienzyme complexes, bilayer lipid membranes (BLMs), and aggregates of biopolymers forming various aqueous gels, e.g, the eye lens. About 50% of the organic substances in humans are accounted for by the membrane structures of cells, which constitute the medium for the vast majority of biochemical reactions. Evidently organic synthesis should also develop tools to mimic the Structure and propertiesof biopolymer, biomembrane, and gel structures in aqueous media. [Pg.350]

Thiazolium derivatives unsubstituted at the 2-position (35) are potentially interesting precursors of A-4-thiazoline-2-thiones and A-4-thiazoline-2-ones. Compound 35 in basic medium undergoes proton abstraction leading to the very active nucleophilic species 36a and 36b (Scheme 16) (43-46). Special interest has been focused upon the reactivity of 36a and 36b because they are considered as the reactive species of the thiamine action in some biochemical reaction, and as catalysts for several condensation reactions (47-50). [Pg.375]

In most biochemical reactions the pH of the medium is close to 7 At this pH car boxylic acids are nearly completely converted to their conjugate bases Thus it is common practice m biological chemistry to specify the derived carboxylate anion rather than the carboxylic acid itself For example we say that glycolysis leads to lactate by way of pyruvate... [Pg.1069]

The form in which acetate is used in most of its important biochemical reactions is acetyl coenzyme A (Figure 26 la) Acetyl coenzyme A is a thwester (Section 20 13) Its for matron from pyruvate involves several steps and is summarized m the overall equation... [Pg.1070]

Among the biochemical reactions that ammo acids undergo is decarboxylation to amines Decarboxylation of histidine for example gives histamine a powerful vasodila tor normally present m tissue and formed m excessive amounts under conditions of trau matic shock... [Pg.1125]

A key biochemical reaction of ammo acids is their conversion to peptides polypeptides and proteins In all these substances ammo acids are linked together by amide bonds The amide bond between the ammo group of one ammo acid and the carboxyl of another IS called a peptide bond Alanylglycme is a representative dipeptide... [Pg.1126]

The release of a photon following thermal excitation is called emission, and that following the absorption of a photon is called photoluminescence. In chemiluminescence and bioluminescence, excitation results from a chemical or biochemical reaction, respectively. Spectroscopic methods based on photoluminescence are the subject of Section lOG, and atomic emission is covered in Section lOH. [Pg.423]

Enzyme-Catalyzed Reactions Enzymes are highly specific catalysts for biochemical reactions, with each enzyme showing a selectivity for a single reactant, or substrate. For example, acetylcholinesterase is an enzyme that catalyzes the decomposition of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine to choline and acetic acid. Many enzyme-substrate reactions follow a simple mechanism consisting of the initial formation of an enzyme-substrate complex, ES, which subsequently decomposes to form product, releasing the enzyme to react again. [Pg.636]

An enzyme is a special protein that acts as a catalyst for biochemical reactions. [Pg.417]

Life forms are based on coded chemicals that, in the right environment, can reproduce themselves and make other chemicals needed to break down and utilize food. Within an organism, these biochemical reactions constitute nonnal metabolism. Biotechnology is the manipulation of these biochemical reactions at either the cellular or the molecular level. [Pg.422]

Control of relative humidity is needed to maintain the strength, pHabiUty, and moisture regain of hygroscopic materials such as textiles and paper. Humidity control may also be required in some appHcations to reduce the effect of static electricity. Temperature and/or relative humidity may also have to be controlled in order to regulate the rate of chemical or biochemical reactions, such as the drying of varnishes, the appHcation of sugar coatings, the preparation of synthetic fibers and other chemical compounds, or the fermentation of yeast. [Pg.357]

Polyelectrolytes based on ethyleneimine are also used to treat drinking water and process water, and as agents for preventing lime deposits (407) in water extraction. The binding power of PEI is utilized for the treatment of effluents (408). Biochemical reactions can be catalyzed by using the complex-forming properties of PEIs and their affinity for organic substrates (409). [Pg.13]

The principles and biochemical reactions involved in diagnostic reagents are described herein. Constmction of dry chemistry systems and advances are also addressed, as are biosensors. [Pg.38]

Measurement of Analytes Biochemical reactions used in the measurement of selected analytes are commercially available as prepackaged kits of reagents. Measurement of the reactions given plus many other analytes can be made (10,11). [Pg.39]

There are a vast number of quaternary ammonium compounds or quaternaries (1). Many are naturally occurring and have been found to be cmcial in biochemical reactions necessary for sustaining life. A wide range of quaternaries are also produced synthetically and are commercially available. Over 204,000 metric tons of quaternary ammonium compounds are produced aimuaHy in the United States (2). These have many diverse appHcations. Most are eventually formulated and make their way to the marketplace to be sold in consumer products. AppHcations range from cosmetics (qv) to hair preparations (qv) to clothes softeners, sanitizers for eating utensils, and asphalt emulsions. [Pg.374]

Biochemical Reactions. The quinones in biological systems play varied and important roles (21,22). In insects they are used for defense purposes, and the vitamin K family members, eg, vitamin [11104-38-4] (32) and vitamin [11032-49-8] (33), which are based on 2-meth5l-l,4-naphthoquiaone, are blood-clotting agents (see Vitamins, vitamin k). [Pg.406]

Lethal Synthesis. This is a process in which the toxic substance has a close stmctural similarity to normal substrates in biochemical reactions. As a result, the material may be incorporated into the biochemical pathway and metabolized to an abnormal and toxic product. A classic example is... [Pg.228]

Vitamins aie specific organic compounds that are essential for normal metabolism. Many participate as cofactors or coen2ymes ia mammalian biochemical reactions. The common thread for the diverse chemical stmctures of the vitamins is that they ate micronutrients. Micronutrients are compounds that are requited ia only small amounts and are not synthesized by humans, either at all or, at least, ia sufficient quantity for metaboHc needs. Vitamins are obtained from the diet or as synthetic preparations used ia food fortification or supplements. [Pg.3]

In a biocatalytic biosensor the molecular recognition component is an enzyme. Enzymes, macromolecular catalysts that are manufactured by plants and animals, affect the rates of biochemical reactions. Virtually all of the millions of chemical reactions involved in Hfe processes have associated enzymes controlling the rates. CoUectively, there are several thousand enzymes known and perhaps many thousand more yet to be discovered. [Pg.107]

Mercerized cellulose fibers have improved luster and do not shrink further. One of the main reasons for mercerizing textiles is to improve their receptivity to dyes. This improvement may result more from the dismption of the crystalline regions rather than the partial conversion to a new crystal stmcture. A good example of the fundamental importance of the particular crystal form is the difference in rate of digestion by bacteria. Bacteria from cattle mmen rapidly digest Cellulose I but degrade Cellulose II very slowly (69). Thus aHomorphic form can be an important factor in biochemical reactions of cellulose as well as in some conventional chemical reactions. [Pg.241]

Cyclization of polyenes by intramolecular rr-attack on an oxirane is an important biochemical reaction (Section 5.05.5.2). [Pg.112]
