Phosphoryl group chemical bonds

On the basis of correlation analysis by LFER between the chemical structure and spectral data from IR and NMR, Lewis basicity, rate constant of hydrolysis as well as pKa of various organophos-phorus compounds, it is not likely that the benzene ring is conjugated with the phosphoryl group, and that the oxygen of the latter is linked to the phosphorus by a double bond, if the general concepts of conjugation in the chemistry of carbon compounds work as well in the phosphorus series. 

P-O- H-O-C and P-O- H-O-P hydrogen bond distance in l (left) and dl (right) forms of O-phosphorylated amino acids. (B) 31P chemical shielding tensor orientation in O-phosphorylated amino acids showing three orthogonal projections of the phosphate group hydrogen bond in tyrosine. Taken from Ref. [36],... 

The hydrolytic lability of the phosphoenzyme intermediate prevented its isolation in an active form however, the P-labeled phosphoenzyme could be isolated in good yield in a denatured form by precipitation of the protein with acid at low temperature in the presence of a P-labeled substrate 74). Further chemical analysis indicated that the intermediate is an acyl phosphate, with the phosphoryl group bonded to an enzymic carboxyl group (76). 

The enzyme from E. coli utilizes ATP and ADP as substrates in place of the guanine nucleotides utilized by the mammalian enzymes. The mechanism of this reaction is reviewed in Volume X of this series (87). It is an interesting mechanism in that it involves an intermediate phosphoenzyme, with the phosphoryl group bonded to a histidine imidazole ring. The chemical reaction pathway consists of reactions (27a)-(27c), in which succinyl phosphate is an enzyme-bound intermediate. 

Some chemical reactions which destroy the very nature of the phosphoryl bond P=Z (Z = O), also occur when Z = S or Se. The treatment of [(dichlorophosphino)methyl]phos-phonothioic dichloride (13 X = Cl) with SbF5 results in the initial replacement of all the chlorine by fluorine, followed by further fluorine transfer and the formation of the mono(tetrafluorophosphorane) (14) this step is then followed by the destruction of the thiophosphoryl group to give 15 on the other hand, SbF3 does not convert 16 (X = Cl) into 17, although 16 (X = F) is formed The phosphoryl group is not replaced by PF2 when acted upon by SbFj or AsF3". ... 

The chemical bonds in the phosphoryl group of the dialkyl H-phosphonates are one a bond and one n bond, formed at the expense of the phosphorus free d orbitals and one of the free 2p electron pairs of the oxygen. 

The type of the chemical bond in the phosphoryl group depends on the type of substituents at the phosphorus atom [1], The nature of the chemical bonds in the phosphoryl group of the phosphonous oxides is studied and the following structures are proposed [2],... 

The transferable group (G) requires a carrier. The most important intracellular carriers are ADP (Figure 10.2), which is phosphorylated to ATP to transport a phosphoryl group, coenzyme A (Figure 5.3c), which is acylated to carry an acyl group, and NAD(P) (Figure 5.3a), which is reduced by hydride ions. Therefore an intermediate step occurs in which the transferable group is chemically bonded to its carrier.
