Cacodylates, determination

The experimentally observed pseudo-first order rate constant k is increased in the presence of DNA (18,19). This enhanced reactivity is a result of the formation of physical BaPDE-DNA complexes the dependence of k on DNA concentration coincides with the binding isotherm for the formation of site I physical intercalative complexes (20). Typically, over 90% of the BaPDE molecules are converted to tetraols, while only a minor fraction bind covalently to the DNA bases (18,21-23). The dependence of k on temperature (21,24), pH (21,23-25), salt concentration (16,20,21,25), and concentration of different buffers (23) has been investigated. In 5 mM sodium cacodylate buffer solutions the formation of tetraols and covalent adducts appear to be parallel pseudo-first order reactions characterized by the same rate constant k, but different ratios of products (21,24). Similar results are obtained with other buffers (23). The formation of carbonium ions by specific and general acid catalysis has been assumed to be the rate-determining step for both tetraol and covalent adduct formation (21,24).

Methods of Speciation and Fractionation. It is apparent that in order to understand the mobility of arsenic and its availability for reactions, methods of speciation and fractionation must be applied to sediment samples in field and laboratory studies. In this paper speciation refers to the separation and quantitative determination of inorganic arsenic, methanearsonic acid, and cacodylic acid. Compartmentalization involves identifying the major compartments for arsenic in a heterogeneous system (e.g. aqueous, adsorbed, occluded,...) and determining the amounts of arsenic in each compartment. Fractionation involves the extraction of arsenic from operationally defined fractions of the solid phase of an aquatic system (e.g. sediment). 

The sodium salt of cacodylic acid, a weak acid, has the formula Na02As(CH3)2 3H20. Its molar mass is 214.02 g mol . A solution is prepared by mixing 21.40 g of this substance with enough water to make 1.000 L of solution. Then 50.00 mL of the sodium cacodylate solution is mixed with 29.55 mL of 0.100 M HCl and enough water to bring the volume to a total of 100.00 mL. The pH of the solution is 6.00. Determine the of cacodylic acid. 

With the development of the potentiometric technique as describe above, paH determinations can now be made very quickly and easily. This makes the screening of any buffer system in any mixed solvent much easier. Data concerning the paH of three buffer systems (cacodylate, phosphate, Tris) in three mixed solvents of water with ethylene glycol, methanol, glycerol at different volume ratios between +20° and their freezing points are summarized in Tables XXIII—... 

Figure 9.11 Release of bovine serum albumin from EVAc matrices. Controlled release of BSA from an EVAc matrix. Solid particles of BSA either (a) 45 to 75 /rm or (b) 150 to 250 /rm in diameter were dispersed within EVAc by solvent evaporation to achieve final protein loadings from 10, 20, 30, 40, or 50%. In each case five identical slabs, each 70 mg and 1 mm thick, were incubated in cacodylate-buffered water containing 0.02% gentamicin. Periodically, the buffered water was replaced, and the amount of protein released from the matrix was determined by measuring the concentration of protein in the solution that was removed. Each symbol represents the average cumulative fraction of protein released (cumulative mass of protein released/initial mass of protein within the matrix) for the five samples error bars indicate the standard deviation, which in some cases are smaller than the symbols. Data from [16].

In 10 mM acetate buffer at pH 5.5 and with 4 /tM EDTA present to reduce the catal5dic effects of iron salts, the order of inhibition was determined to be CN- > Ng- > F- > I- > NO3- > Cl- > Br- > OCN" > SCN- > SeCN- > (CIO4-, tetraborate, boric acid, phosphate, sulfate and cacodylate). Clearly the strongest inhibitors are those with metal binding capabilities although this features alone does not readily correlate the series. Indeed, there are complexities which are apparent imder detailed scrutiny and which suggest a very compUcated pattern of inhibitory action by these anions. Curzon and his co-workers and other investigators have carried out detailed studies of the inhibition by azide, cyanide, the halides, and mixtures of various anionic inhibitors. 

Stock solutions of the two polymers were prepared separately at about one-tenth the concentration to be used for the infrared spectra. The NaCl concentration was 0.01 i /, the sodium cacodylate concentration was 0.(X)5, and the pH was adjusted to 7.5. After the concentrations were determined by ultraviolet absorption, equivalent amounts of the polymers were mixed, and a 15 % decrease in intensity was observed in the solution, which was 0.0032i / in each polymer and 0.01 M in NaCl. The solution was allowed to stand 5 hr, then lyophilized, redissolved in 0.1 ml DjO, and the pH adjusted to 7.6. The NaCl concentration was then about 0.18 and the sodium cacodylate concentration was about 0.09. The 0.060 solution of poly A + poly U was made up with 0.1 ml of 0.1 NaCl and 0.1 M sodium cacodylate instead of pure DjO. A molar absorptivity of 15,400 was calculated from the values 9800 for poly A (Warner, 1957) and 9430 for poly U (Felsenfeld and Rich, 1957) as reduced by a 20% hypochromic effect in the more concentrated salt solution. The concentration of an aliquot of the polymer solution was then determined using this value.

The EPR spectrum of in solution consists of a broad single line. This author has analyzed the temperature and frequency dependence of the line-width of the aquo, cacodylate, and bovine serum albumin complexes of Gd , (Reuben, 1971b). Only some tentative conclusions could be reached regarding the symmetry of the macromolecular environment of the ion. The line-width is related to the electron spin relaxation time and EPR data might be useful for the determination of the effective correlation time in PRR experiments.
