Bonds exchanges

Characteristically, glasses are brittle solids which in practice break only under tension. The ionic and directional nature of the bonds and the identification of electrons with particular pairs of atoms preclude bond exchange. This, coupled with the random nature of the atomic lattice, i.e. the absence of close-packed planes, makes gross slip or plastic flow impossible. 

While the amplification of the DCL by Con A was relatively weak, as expected for such a low affinity binding system, the system demonstrated the effectiveness of mild disulfide bond exchange when applied to DCC directed by a protein target. Lehn subsequently reported a second DCC investigation into the Con A binding site involving sugars linked... 

Figure 3.8 Resin-bound dynamic combinatorial chemistry. Left Dynamic combinatorial building blocks immobihzed on sohd phase resin and in solution are allowed to equilibrate by reversible bond exchange to form a resin-bound dynamic combinatorial hbrary. Center The hbrary is screened against a fluorescently labeled target, and dynamic selection occurs. Right The selected hbrary members binding to the labeled target are easily visuahzed, spatially segregated, and identified.

Organomagnesium compounds undergo fast intermolecular carbon-magnesium bond exchange in solution. One such process in THF solution, (equation 14) was studied by NMR line-shape analysis ...

Au-C bond, exchanges rapidly on the NMR timescale. With higher concentrations of water, the second acetate undergoes hydrolysis, and in solutions that have been allowed to stand, a third hydrolysis species was tentatively assigned to the other isomer of [dampAu(02CCH3)(H20)] + the hydrolysis process is summarised in Scheme 3. 

Protein degradation commonly includes aggregation, deamidation, isomerization, racemization, disulfide bond exchange, hydrolysis, and oxidation... 

Disulfide bond exchange. Disulfide linkages are important in determining protein tertiary structure. Disulfide bond formation and/or exchange may occur during metal-catalyzed oxidation of the cysteine residue. This may lead to protein aggregation due to the formation of intermo-lecular disulfide bonds. In addition to cysteine disulfide bond formation, cysteine is susceptible to oxidation (Fig. 134) (200) (See also discussion on thiol chemistry earlier in this chapter).

Although such an understanding of the reaction mechanism is in principle applied in the theory of pericyclic reactions, the above general picture is in this case slightly complicated by the specific (introduced in the course of historical development) classification of reaction mechanisms in terms of concertedness and/or nonconcertedness. Concerted reactions are intuitively understood as those reactions for which the scission of old bonds and the formation of the new ones is synchronised, whereas for nonconcerted reactions the above bond exchange processes are completely asynchronised. Moreover, since the above asynchronicity is also intuitively expected to induce the stepwise nature of the process, the nonconcertedness is frequently believed to require the presence of intermediates, whereas the concerted reactions are believed to proceed in one elementary step.
