Thermodynamic parameters, complexation

The interaction between 4-(4-hydroxybut-2-ynyloxy)-3-(phenylsulfonyl)-l,2,5-oxadiazole-2-oxide 16 and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was studied by spectroscopic methods including fluorescence and UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy. The results indicate that molecules 16 bind with BSA forming 1 1 complex. Thermodynamic parameters, such as AH, AG, and A.Y, were calculated. The results indicate that the binding reaction is mainly entropy driven and hydrophobic forces play a major role in this reaction <2006CHJ1050>.

The results were simple and clear-cut Only the two terms ofa° and Emin were involved for the a-cyclodextrin systems, and the two terms of k and Emin, for (S-cyclodextrin systems. This means that the stabilities of the inclusion complexes are mainly governed by the electronic and steric interactions in a-cyclodextrin systems and by the hydro-phobic and steric interactions in (i-cyclodextrin systems, regardless of the position of the substituents in the phenols. These observations agree well with those by Harata23), who showed that there is no appreciable difference in thermodynamic parameters between cyclodextrin complexes of m- and p-di substituted benzenes and that the contribution of the enthalpy term to the complexation is more significant in a-cyclodextrin systems than in P-cyclodextrin systems, where the inhibitory effect...

Complexes with the Fluoride Ion. For the compilation of stability constants (Table IV) of complexes with F , we have used, when needed, thermodynamic parameters (K, AH) pertaining to the dissociation of hydrofluoric acid as given by Smith and Martell (77) or extrapolated from their selection. 

The physical nature of the sulfate complexes formed by plutonium(III) and plutonium(IV) in 1 M acid 2 M ionic strength perchlorate media has been inferred from thermodynamic parameters for complexation reactions and acid dependence of stability constants. The stability constants of 1 1 and 1 2 complexes were determined by solvent extraction and ion-exchange techniques, and the thermodynamic parameters calculated from the temperature dependence of the stability constants. The data are consistent with the formation of complexes of the form PuSOi,(n-2)+ for the 1 1 complexes of both plutonium(III) and plutonium(IV). The second HSO4 ligand appears to be added without deprotonation in both systems to form complexes of the form PuSOifHSOit(n"3) +. ... 

In an attempt to verify (or refute) this assumption, we have determined the thermodynamic parameters (AH, AS) for the complexes formed between Pu(III), Pu(IV), and HSOi in 1 M acid media utilizing cation-exchange and solvent extraction procedures. 

In contrast to the situation observed in the trivalent lanthanide and actinide sulfates, the enthalpies and entropies of complexation for the 1 1 complexes are not constant across this series of tetravalent actinide sulfates. In order to compare these results, the thermodynamic parameters for the reaction between the tetravalent actinide ions and HSOIJ were corrected for the ionization of HSOi as was done above in the discussion of the trivalent complexes. The corrected results are tabulated in Table V. The enthalpies are found to vary from +9.8 to+41.7 kj/m and the entropies from +101 to +213 J/m°K. Both the enthalpy and entropy increase from ll1 "1" to Pu1 with the ThSOfj parameters being similar to those of NpS0 +. Complex stability is derived from a very favorable entropy contribution implying (not surprisingly) that these complexes are inner sphere in nature. 

The use of direct electrochemical methods (cyclic voltammetry Pig. 17) has enabled us to measure the thermodynamic parameters of isolated water-soluble fragments of the Rieske proteins of various bci complexes (Table XII)). (55, 92). The values determined for the standard reaction entropy, AS°, for both the mitochondrial and the bacterial Rieske fragments are similar to values obtained for water-soluble cytochromes they are more negative than values measured for other electron transfer proteins (93). Large negative values of AS° have been correlated with a less exposed metal site (93). However, this is opposite to what is observed in Rieske proteins, since the cluster appears to be less exposed in Rieske-type ferredoxins that show less negative values of AS° (see Section V,B).

No new absorption bands are observed in other cases, largely due to the fact that the strong absorptions of the aromatic donors obstruct the UV-spectral measurements. For the complex between CBr4 and TMPD, the quantitative analyses of the temperature and concentration-dependent absorptions of the new band at 380 nm afford the extinction coefficient of ct = 3.2 x 103 M 1 cm x, as well as the thermodynamic parameters for complex formation AH = - 4.5 kcalM x, AS = - 14 e.u., and Kda = 0.3 M x at 295 K. Such thermodynamic characteristics are similar to those of the dihalogen complexes of as well as those of other acceptors with aromatic donors. Similar results are also obtained for CBr4 associates with halide and thio-cyanide anions [5,53]. 

As we described in Chapter 3, the binding of reversible inhibitors to enzymes is an equilibrium process that can be defined in terms of the common thermodynamic parameters of dissociation constant and free energy of binding. As with any binding reaction, the dissociation constant can only be measured accurately after equilibrium has been established fully measurements made prior to the full establishment of equilibrium will not reflect the true affinity of the complex. In Appendix 1 we review the basic principles and equations of biochemical kinetics. For reversible binding equilibrium the amount of complex formed over time is given by the equation...

A and D are the exciplex or excimer components, denotes the primarily excited species, k is the limiting photoassociation equilibrium constant, AHat ASa, and are the thermodynamic parameters for the exciplex-excimer, and p is the excited state dipole moment of the complex. Note that the large dipole moment for the exciplex indicates almost complete charge transfer in the excited state, (D+, A-). rfc and r, are the fluorescence lifetimes for the complex and the component.
