I am sorry that there is not space for the paper [62], which was based on Gavalas dissertation, for it laid the foundations of continuous mixture kinetics of the first order. When Astarita and Ocone revived the subject again in the late 1980s, the emphasis was on underlying kinetics other than first order. Reprint G is a paper from the second period, the first being represented only by the last section of Reprint E. Papers on continuous mixtures may be traced through the Index of Subjects in Publications.

I-Butanolysis reaction performed with benzoic anhydride at 55°C in 1-butanol/benzene (3 7 v/v) mixture. Kinetic parameters of A at, Km, and K were obtained from Lineweaver-Burke plots. Data from [50]. 

The PPC, required by the FDA Guideline, is a sample of the test material that contains a concentration of endotoxin that is double the labeled sensitivity of the LAL reagent.The PPC must be tested with each sample in a Limits test or kinetic LAL assay to ensure that a result is valid and free of interference. The most accurate and reliable technique is the hot spike method that requires adding 10 pi of endotoxin standard to the reaction vessel (tube or well) before addition of LAL. The gel clot method requires the addition of 10 pi of 20 A to the reaction mixture. Kinetic methods require the addition of 10 pi of a standard, 10 times greater than the spike concentration, to the wells or tubes designated as PPCs. Only inhibition is seen in gel-clot Limits tests, whereas both inhibition and enhancement are seen in kinetic LAL methods. 

Applications of low temperature work in structural studies have been described in section 3(b). Application to enzyme action is best exemplified by the pioneering work of Fink and Ahmed [221] and Alber etal. [222] on elastase. JV-Carbobenzoxy-L-alanyl-p-nitrophenol ester was selected for study at — 55°C in a 70% methanol-water mixture. Kinetic studies in the presence of cryoprotectant enabled conditions for formation and stabilisation of the acyl-enzyme intermediate to be established. By monitoring changes in intensity of certain reflections as substrate flowed past the crystal at — 55°C, it was possible to show that the rate of formation of the acyl-enzyme was comparable to that obtained by monitoring p-nitrophenol release spectroscopically. The difference electron density map at 3.5 A resolution showed a peak consistent with the formation of an acyl-enzyme intermediate, but a detailed mechanistic interpretation requires higher resolution data. When the crystal was warmed to — 10°C and the data recollected, the peak in the difference synthesis disappeared, indicating that deacylation had occurred, consistent with the predictions from kinetic studies.
