HoS, reaction

The competition between dilution of NMHQ (here [NMHCJq represents the initial hydrocarbon concentration) and its reaction with HO to generate an oxidant molecule enters through the dimensionless parameter S fcd/k25[HO ] that compares the rate of the HO reaction to the rate of dilution. Also important is the relative reactivity of the oxidation product PROD to the parent hydrocarbon as defined by the dimensionless parameter If the oxidation products...

Fig. 9.1. Simplified reaction mechanisms in the hydrolytic decomposition of organic nitrates. Pathway a Solvolytic reaction (Reaction a) with formation of a carbonium ion, which subsequently undergoes SN1 addition of a nucleophile (e.g., HO ) (Reaction b) or proton E1 elimination to form an olefin (Reaction c). Pathway b HO -catalyzed hydrolysis (,SN2). Pathway c The bimolecular carbonyl-elimination reaction, as catalyzed by a strong base (e.g., HO or RO ), which forms a carbonyl derivative and nitrite.

It is possible to similarly estimate the effect of the various cycles upon ozone destruction. The results can be summarized as follows between 15 and 20 km, the N03 catalytic cycle dominates between 20 and 40 km, the N02 cycle dominates between 40 and 45km, the N02, HO, and O mechanisms are about equal and above 45 km, the HO reactions are the controlling reactions. 

Once the oxy complex is formed, a second electron transfer to the HO heme effectively reduces the oxy complex to the peroxide level. From this point many heme enzymes catalyze the heterolytic fission of the peroxide 0-0 bond, leaving behind the well known oxyferryl center, (Fe-0) +, characteristic of peroxidase compound 1 and similar to the active hydroxylating intermediate thought to operate in P450s. However, in HO the active oxidizing intermediate is peroxide. Peracids that form the (Fe-0) + intermediate do not support the HO reaction, whereas H2O2 addition to Fe + HO does support substrate hydroxylation 187, 188). EPR and ENDOR spectroscopy have been used to analyze the cryo-genically reduced oxy-HO complex 189). In these studies reduction of... 

Various isoforms of both HO and NOS can be expressed in recombinant systems. As a result, the immediate future will undoubtedly witness a wealth of mutagenesis experiments guided by the crystal structures. It also may be possible to trap in crystalline form the various intermediates of the HO reaction cycle, which will greatly facilitate a deeper understanding of the catalytic mechanism. Conformational dynamics appear to be quite important in HO, and hence, a variety of spectral probes such as NMR and fluorescence should prove especially useful in studying the role of protein dynamics in function. Overall there should be considerable optimism for understanding HO at the level of detail achieved for peroxidases and other well-studied enz5une systems.

Calibration of FAGE1 from a static reactor (a Teflon film bag that collapses as sample is withdrawn) has been reported (78). In static decay, HO reacts with a tracer T that has a loss that can be measured by an independent technique T necessarily has no sinks other than HO reaction (see Table I) and no sources within the reactor. From equation 17, the instantaneous HO concentration is calculated from the instantaneous slope of a plot of ln[T] versus time. The presence of other reagents may be necessary to ensure sufficient HO however, the mechanisms by which HO is generated and lost are of no concern, because the loss of the tracer by reaction with whatever HO is present is what is observed. Turbulent transport must keep the reactor s contents well mixed so that the analytically measured HO concentration is representative of the volume-averaged HO concentration reflected by the tracer consumption. If the HO concentration is constant, the random error in [HO] calculated from the tracer decay slope can be obtained from the slope uncertainty of a least squares fit. Systematic error would arise from uncertainties in the rate constant for the T + HO reaction, but several tracers may be employed concurrently. In general, HO may be nonconstant in the reactor, so its concentration variation must be separated from noise associated with the [T] measurement, which must therefore be determined separately.
