Cross reactions properties

If the intrinsic barrier AGq could be independently estimated, the Marcus equation (5-69) provides a route to the calculation of rate constants. An additivity property has frequently been invoked for this purpose.For the cross-reaction...

The second and far more common approach to testing the predicted dependence of kob on AG has been based on the so-called Marcus cross-reaction equation. The cross-reaction equation interrelates the rate constant for a net reaction, D+A- D++A ( el2), with the equilibrium constant (Kl2) and self-exchange rate constants for the two-component self-exchange reactions D+ 0 (Zen) and A0/- (k22). Its derivation is based on the assumption that the contributions to vibrational and solvent trapping for the net reaction from the individual reactants are simply additive (equation 63). The factors of one-half appear because only one of the two components of the self-exchange reactions is involved in the net reaction. The expression for A0 in equation (63) is an approximation. Note from equation (23) that k is a collective property of both reactants and the approximation in equation (63) is valid only if the reactants have similar radii. 

In Fig. 7 we have taken a symmetrical reaction where, apart from the isotopic mixing, AG ° = 0. One of the first successes of the Marcus theory was the correlation of rates for such homogeneous reactions with the rates found for the same electron transfer taking place on an electrode (Marcus, 1963). The theory then went on to predict the rates of cross reactions between two different redox couples in terms of the kinetic and thermodynamic properties of the two redox couples. The free energy profile for an unsymmetrical cross reaction such as (17) is shown in Fig. 8. The free energy of activation depends... 

The free energies in (18) are illustrated in Fig. 10. It can be seen that GA is that part of AG ° available for driving the actual reaction. The importance of this relation is that it allows AGXX Y to be calculated from the properties of the X and Y systems. In thermodynamics, from a list of n standard electrode potentials for half cells, one can calculate j (m — 1) different equilibrium constants. Equation (18) allows one to do the same for the %n(n— 1) rate constants for the cross reactions, providing that the thermodynamics and the free energies of activation for the symmetrical reactions are known. Using the... 

From this list of microorganisms capable of synthesizing dextran, it may readily be seen that one of the factors controlling the properties of the polysaccharide obtained is the strain of the particular bacterium used. This observation has been amply verified in a number of studies. Thus, immunological cross-reactions of dextrans with pnemnococcus antisera, the results of periodate oxidations, - and various physical measurements - have all demonstrated this point. 

Tanahashi et al. (1968) compared the immunological properties of bovine, water buffalo, ovine, caprine, porcine, guinea pig, and human a-lactalbumins by the method of Oudin. They found that the nonruminant a-lactalbumins do not react with antisera to the bovine protein. This is in accordance with our experience (K. Bell and H. A. McKenzie) using the Ouchterlony and immunoelectrophoretic methods. However, Sakar et al. (1971) found that while bovine, water buffalo, and caprine a-lactalbumins exhibit extensive cross-reaction in the Ouchterlony test, these ruminant a-lactalbumins may be differentiated quanti-... 

The specificity of the polysaccharides isolated from the various strains is of interest. Comparable active fractions prepared from the human, avian and bovine strains show cross reactions for example, an active avian strain polysaccharide will react with H37 (human strain) antiserum. Type specificity is not a property of the isolated polysaccharide components of the organism. 

The measured rate constants for cross-reactions and those calculated from Eq. (104) are listed in Tables 53-55. A comparison of the calculated and observed constants indicates that Eq. (104) is solved with an accuracy of an order of magnitude. An attempt to solve this equation by introducing several adjusted 2 values was made in Ref. 364. Eqs. (105-108) are justified at appreciable differences in the charges of the reacting species. But in this case, the correction makes no marked contribution to the improvement in data coincidence [106]. Even for the structurally very similar complexes with close properties, i.e., various isomers of sarcophaginate [Co(diAMHl,2pnsar)] + cation, the experimental rate constants differ from those calculated from Eq. (104) by a factor of 5-7. Sargeson attributed this difference to the... 

Monovalent polyclonal Fab fragments of enzyme coupled secondary immunoglobulins have also been used to reduce or eliminate cross-reactions when using more than one primary antibody from the same species. The polyclonal nature of the secondary allows it to saturate all possible epitopes on the first primary antibody, while the monovalent property of the Fab fragment eliminates the possibility that an unsaturated arm on a divalent secondary may bind subsequent primary antibodies of the same species during their application (35). 

Compounds described as sugar rods and with phytohemagglutinin cross-linking properties, e.g. compound 108, have been made by a Pd-induced coupling reaction of propargyl and p-iodophenyl a-D-mannoside tetraacetate, and p-diiodobenzene led to the linear product with two propargyl a-D-mannoside substituents on the benzene rings. ° ...
