Many inhibitors of substrate oxidations, substrate transport, electron transport, and ATP synthesis are known including many well-known toxins (see Sherratt, 1981 Harold, 1986 Nicholls and Ferguson, 1992). These are not discussed here except to mention specific uncouplers of oxidative phosphorylation. Classic uncouplers such as 2,4-dinitrophenol have protonated and unprotonated forms, both of which are lipid soluble and cross the inner mitochondrial membrane discharging the proton gradient. This prevents ATP synthesis and stimulates respiration.

DipolarCycloaddition Reactions. The 1,3-dipolar cyclization of nitrile oxide with dipolarophiles generates structurally important heterocycles. As shown by Lee,139 the reaction can be carried out in an aqueous-organic biphasic system in which the nitrile oxide substrates can be generated from oximes or hydrazones in situ. The method provides a convenient one-pot procedure for generating a variety of heterocyclic products. 

Raman spectroscopy has been used for a long time in order to study supported and promoted metal catalysts and oxide catalysts [84] since many information can be obtained (1) identification of different metal oxide phases (2) structural transformations of metal oxide phases (3) location of the supported oxide on the oxide substrate and... 

Scheme 1. Possible oxidation-reduction reactions between reducing and oxidizing substrate molecules (R and O respectively) and the molybdenum (M), flavin (F) and iron (I) of xanthine oxidase. The enzyme molecule is represented by the circle and arrows indicate transfer of reducing equivalents...

A current overall picture of the reaction mechanism of xanthine oxidase, which differs substantially from one proposed earlier (87) is as follows. The enzyme is presumed to have two independent catalytic units, though this has not so far been proved rigorously. Reducing substrates are bound at molybdenum and reduce this from Mo(VI) both to Mo(V) and to Mo (IV). Reducing equivalents are then transferred by intramolecular reactions from molybdenum to iron-sulphur and also, either directly or via this, to flavin. Oxidizing substrates as a class, seem capable of reacting with all three types of centre in the enzyme. Thus, oxygen reacts predominantly with flavin, phenazine methosulphate... 

So little is known about molybdenum enzymes other than milk xanthine oxidase that there is little to be said by way of general conclusions. In all cases where there is direct evidence (except possibly for xanthine dehydrogenase from Micrococcus lactilyticus) it seems that molybdenum in the enzymes does have a redox function in catalysis. For the xanthine oxidases and dehydrogenases and for aldehyde oxidase, the metal is concerned in interaction of the enzymes with reducing substrates. However, for nitrate reductase it is apparently in interaction with the oxidizing substrate that the metal is involved. In nitrogenase the role of molybdenum is still quite uncertain. 

Potassium superoxide must not be added to neat oxidation substrates, or ignition may occur, and weighing it out on filter paper is also hazardous. 

In homogeneous reactions, the upper limits of concentration are determined by the (limited) solubility of the salts of periodic acid and by the low pH values produced by periodic acid itself. Apart from these considerations, the concentration conditions to be selected are governed by the type of information desired. A very dilute solution having a high oxidant substrate ratio is used in the exploratory or preliminary phase defined earlier (see p. 13), but a more concentrated solution, in which the oxidant is only slightly in excess of the theoretical, is recommended for the preparative phase. 

Mitochondria do three things oxidize substrates, consume oxygen, and make ATP. Uncouplers prevent the synthesis of ATP but do not inhibit oxygen consumption or substrate oxidation. Uncouplers work by destroying the pH gradient. The classic uncoupler is dinitrophenol (DNP). This phenol is a relatively strong acid and exists as the phenol and the phenolate anion.
