Phosphate buffer, aqueous

The enzymes commonly used as labels in ELISA and other immunochemical reactions include horse radish peroxidase (HRP) and alkaline phosphatase (AP). The enzyme can be covalently coupled to the antibody using glutaraldehyde conjugation to reactive amino groups on the enzyme (lysines) in a phosphate buffered aqueous solution at neutral pH, as shown in Fig. 19 (103). Alternatively, carbohydrates present in the immunoglobulin structure can be cleaved by periodate treatment (see Fig. 20) and bound to free amino groups on the enzyme through a Schiff base reaction (103). 

Similar to ozone decomposition, ozone solubility has been the subject of multiple studies. These studies usually propose an empirical equation for the Henry s law constant as a function of pH, ionic strength, and temperature [59,60]. For example, Sotelo et al. [60] found the following equation valid for phosphate buffer aqueous solutions at temperatures between 0 and 20°C, pH range of 2 to 8.5, and ionic strength varying from 10-3 to KT1 M ...

Diphenyl sulphoxide, thiodiglycol sulphoxide, and diethyl sulphoxide are oxidised to the corresponding sulphones. Howard and Levitt studied the kinetics of oxidation of these compounds at pH 8 in a phosphate buffer (aqueous solution) and found the rates to be first-order with respect to peroxodisulphate and independent of the substrate concentration over the limited range employed (0.01-0.02 M). The removal of oxygen had no effect on the rate. Diethyl sulphide is oxidised very rapidly initially, then at the same rate as diethyl sulphoxide. Howard and Levitt concluded that the sulphide is first oxidised to the sulphoxide which in turn is oxidised to the sulphone, but Wilmarth and Haim point out that this interpretation cannot be correct, and conclude that the reaction must be more complex.

Nonsilicate-carbon nanotube composites were also reported by the same group [221]. They reported that a SnO-CNT anode showed improved lithium intercalation properties compared to the respective CNT and tin oxide electrodes. Wang et al. showed that Nation addition can solubilize CNTs in neutral-pH phosphate-buffered aqueous and alcohol solutions [222], Soon afterward, titania-MWCNT andmesopo-rous titania-Nafion-SWCNT and MWCNT electrodes were reported [223,224]. 

This experiment focuses on developing an HPLG separation capable of distinguishing acetylsalicylic acid, paracetamol, salicylamide, caffeine, and phenacetin. A Gjg column and UV detection are used to obtain chromatograms. Solvent parameters used to optimize the separation include the pH of the buffered aqueous mobile phase, the %v/v methanol added to the aqueous mobile phase, and the use of tetrabutylammonium phosphate as an ion-pairing reagent. 

Dutch State Mines (Stamicarbon). Vapor-phase, catalytic hydrogenation of phenol to cyclohexanone over palladium on alumina, Hcensed by Stamicarbon, the engineering subsidiary of DSM, gives a 95% yield at high conversion plus an additional 3% by dehydrogenation of coproduct cyclohexanol over a copper catalyst. Cyclohexane oxidation, an alternative route to cyclohexanone, is used in the United States and in Asia by DSM. A cyclohexane vapor-cloud explosion occurred in 1975 at a co-owned DSM plant in Flixborough, UK (12) the plant was rebuilt but later closed. In addition to the conventional Raschig process for hydroxylamine, DSM has developed a hydroxylamine phosphate—oxime (HPO) process for cyclohexanone oxime no by-product ammonium sulfate is produced. Catalytic ammonia oxidation is followed by absorption of NO in a buffered aqueous phosphoric acid... 

Distribution of benzodiazepines in I-octanol - water system was investigated by a direct shake flask method at the presence of the compounds used in HPLC mobile phases the phosphate buffer with pH 6,87 (substances (I) - (II)), acetic and phosphate buffer, perchloric acid at pH 3 (substances (III) - (VI)). Concentrations of substances in an aqueous phase after distribution controlled by HPLC (chromatograph Hewlett Packard, column Nucleosil 100-5 C, mobile phase acetonitrile - phosphate buffer solution with pH 2,5, 30 70 (v/v)). 

For the size exclusion chromatography of proteins on silica-hased diol packings, it is generally recommended to use fully aqueous mobile phases with a salt concentration between 0.1 and 0.3 M. In general, a phosphate buffer around pH 7 is used as the mobile phase. Under these circumstances, the tertiary structure of most proteins is preserved without difficulty and the interaction of proteins with each other is minimized. However, other inorganic buffers or combinations of buffers with organic solvents can be used without difficulties for special applications.

An amount of enzyme preparation equivalent to 900 mg of wet cells was made up to 25 ml with the above potassium phosphate buffer solution. 150 mg (1.15 mmol) of 5-fluorouracil and 1.0 gram of thymidine (4.12 mmol) were dissolved in 15 ml of the above potassium phosphate buffer solution. The mixture was incubated at 37°C for 18 hours. After this time, enzyme action was stopped by the addition of four volumes of acetone and one volume of peroxide-free diethyl ether. The precipitated solids were removed by filtration, and the filtrate was evaporated under nitrogen at reduced pressure until substantially all volatile organic solvent had been removed. About 20 ml of aqueous solution, essentially free of organic solvent, remained. This solution was diluted to 100 ml with distilled water. 

This is a crystalline product of insulin and an alkaline protein where the protein/insulin ratio is called the isophane ratio. This product gives a delayed and uniform insulin action with a reduction in the number of insulin doses necessary per day. Such a preparation may be made as follows 1.6 g of zinc-insulin crystals containing 0.4% of zinc are dissolved in 400 ml of water, with the aid of 25 ml of 0.1 N hydrochloric acid. To this are added aqueous solutions of 3 ml of tricresol, 7.6 g of sodium chloride, and sufficient sodium phosphate buffer that the final concentration is As molar and the pH is 6.9. 

Bj Pivaloyloxymethyl D(—)-Ot-aminobenzylpenicillinate. hydrochloride To a solution of pivaloyloxymethyl D(—)-a-azidobenzylpenicillinate (prepared as described above) in ethyl acetate (75 ml) a 0.2 M phosphate buffer (pH 2.2) (75 ml) and 10% palladium on carbon catalyst (4 g) were added, and the mixture was shaken in a hydrogen atmosphere for 2 hours at room temperature. The catalyst was filtered off, washed with ethyl acetate (25 ml) and phosphate buffer (25 ml), and the phases of the filtrate were separated. The aqueous phase was washed with ether, neutralized (pH 6.5 to 7.0) with aqueoussodium bicarbonate, and extracted with ethyl acetate (2 X 75 ml). To the combined extracts, water (75 ml) was added, and the pH adjusted to 25 with 1 N hydrochloric acid. The aqueous layer was separated, the organic phase extracted with water (25 ml), and the combined extracts were washed with ether, and freeze-dried. The desired compound was obtained as a colorless, amorphous powder. 

The next major obstacle is the successful deprotection of the fully protected palytoxin carboxylic acid. With 42 protected functional groups and eight different protecting devices, this task is by no means trivial. After much experimentation, the following sequence and conditions proved successful in liberating palytoxin carboxylic acid 32 from its progenitor 31 (see Scheme 10) (a) treatment with excess 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-l,4-benzoquinone (DDQ) in ie/t-butanol/methylene chloride/phosphate buffer pH 7.0 (1 8 1) under sonication conditions, followed by peracetylation (for convenience of isolation) (b) exposure to perchloric acid in aqueous tetrahydrofuran for eight days (c) reaction with dilute lithium hydroxide in H20-MeOH-THF (1 2 8) (d) treatment with tetra-n-butylammonium fluoride (TBAF) in tetrahydrofuran first, and then in THF-DMF and (e) exposure to dilute acetic acid in water (1 350) at 22 °C. The overall yield for the deprotection sequence (31 —>32) is ca. 35 %. 

When the electrode is placed in an aqueous solution of glucose which has been suitably diluted with a phosphate buffer solution (pH 7.3), solution passes through the outer membrane into the enzyme where hydroxen peroxide is produced. Hydrogen peroxide can diffuse through the inner membrane which, however, is impermeable to other components of the solution. The electrode vessel contains phosphate buffer, a platinum wire and a silver wire which act as electrodes. A potential of 0.7 volts is applied to the electrodes (the apparatus shown in Fig. 16.17 is suitable) with the platinum wire as anode. At this electrode the reaction H202->02 + 2H+ +2e takes place, and the oxygen produced is reduced at the silver cathode ... 

Reactions between aziridine-2-carboxylic acids and thiols in aqueous solution have been explored by Hata and Watanabe [112]. The reactions occurred predominantly at C-2 instead of C-3 to afford 3-amino acids, with the reaction between 148 (Scheme 3.53) and thiophenol in 0.2 m sodium phosphate buffer at room tem-... 

To circumvent these difficulties, a preparation of water-soluble coelenterazine has been developed (Teranishi and Shimomura, 1997a). The preparation contains coelenterazine and 50-times (by weight) of hydroxypropyl-P-cyclodextrin. To prepare this material, 0.1 ml of 3.0 mM coelenterazine in methanol and 0.2 ml of 45 mM solution of the cyclodextrin are mixed and dried under reduced pressure. The dried residue is extracted with 1.0 ml of lOmM phosphate buffer, pH 7.0, containing 2 mM EDTA (if needed), and the extract (after centrifugation) is again dried under reduced pressure. With this preparation, an aqueous solution containing up to 3 mM coelenterazine can be made.

A suspension of lithium methoxide (prepared from 1.00 g (31.2 mmol) of methanol in 50 mL of THF and 17.7 mL (27.2 mmol) of 1.54 M butyllithium in hexane) is transferred via a cannula into a — 78 C sol ution of 5.86 g (27.1 mmol) of 2-[(/ )-(/T)-1-chloro-2-butenyl]-4,4,5,5-tctramethyl-l,3,2-dioxaborolane in 100 mL of THF. The solution is warmed, becoming homogeneous at 0 JC, and stirred for 1 h. Solvents arc removed in vacuo and the residue dissolved in 150 mL of petroleum ether (bp 40 -60 °C). This solution is washed with a citric acid/boric acid/phosphate buffer (pH 3) until the aqueous phase shows a pH of 4. The aqueous phase is extracted with 50 mL of petroleum ether (bp 40 - 60 rC). The combined organic extracts are dried over MgS04 and concentrated in vacuo to give a slightly tan oil yield 5.34 g (90%) ca. 90% ee.

Additional kinetic evidence supporting molecular iodine as an iodinating species is sparse. Li325 found that the iodination of tyrosine in acetate buffers at 25 °C showed the mixed inverse dependence on iodide ion concentration noted above, so that part of the reaction appeared to involve the molecular species. Subsequently, Doak and Corwin326 found that the kinetics of the iodination of (N-Me)-4-carboethoxy-2,5-dimethyl- and (N-Me)-5-carboethoxy-2,4-dimethyl-pyrroles in phosphate buffers in aqueous dioxane at 26.5 °C obeyed equation (162), viz. 

The detritiation of [3H]-2,4,6-trimethoxybenzene by aqueous perchloric acid was also studied, the second-order rate coefficients (107/c2) being determined as 5.44, 62.0, and 190 at 0, 24.6, and 36.8 °C, respectively, whilst with phosphate buffers, values were 3.75, 13.8, and 42.1 at 24.6, 39.9, and 55.4 °C, respectively. The summarised kinetic parameters for these studies are given in Table 134, and notable among the values are the more negative entropies of activation obtained in catalysis by the more negative acids. This has been rationalised in terms of proton transfer... 

To examine more fully the possibility of the general acid catalysis noted above, the kinetics of protodeboronation in aqueous phosphate buffers were measured62 5, A more reactive substrate, 2,6-dimethoxybenzeneboronic acid was necessary and a preliminary examination using perchloric acid at 25 and 60 °C (Table 192) showed... 

Oxidation of phenyl hexyl sulphide with sodium metaperiodate gave also only a trace amount of the corresponding sulphoxide72. On the other hand, Hall and coworkers73 prepared benzylpenicillin and phenoxymethyl penicillin sulphoxides from the corresponding benzyl esters by oxidation with sodium metaperiodate in dioxane solution with a phosphate buffer. A general procedure for the synthesis of penicillin sulphoxides was reported later by Essery and coworkers74 which consists in the direct oxidation of penicillins or their salts with sodium metaperiodate in aqueous solution at pH 6.5-7.0. 1-Butadienyl phenyl sulphoxide 4475 and a-phosphoryl sulphoxides 4576 were also prepared by the same procedure.
