Processive catalysis

Processive catalysis of this kind involves extremely sophisticated molecular machinery including both RNA and protein components suggesting that it emerged relatively late in evolutionary terms. Processive catalysis is now a target for the design of artificial supra molecular machines and an interesting recent example is discussed in Section 10.7.3.

The rotaxane assembly is adopted by many enzymes that operate on nucleic acids and proteins. In the case of processive enzymes, the catalytic reaction drives the sequential motion of the enzyme on its polymeric substrate. Therefore, these enzymes can be viewed as molecular motors powered by chemical reactions and moving one-dimensionally on a track, in which fuel is provided by the track itself. An initial attempt to carry out processive catalysis with a synthetic rotaxane has been described [69].

In the other chain reaction mode the redox state of the transition metal changes reversibly by one in the course of the reaction (Fig. 11). Such redox chain reactions are mostly electroneutral and the SET active metal complex acts as the chain carrier. Two modes are generally observed, which are different according to the location of the radical and the release of the catalytically active species after the radical process. Catalysis may occur by SET to a suitable substrate 31, from which...

However there are several major hurdles. The most common catalysts are based on acid catalysis with Bronsted or Lewis acid sites these sites promote the formation of propylene rather than ethylene as is witnessed by conventional FCC operations. Ethylene is promoted by free radical processes. Catalysis of free radical reactions is rare, but not unknown . One route is to take a conventional acid catalysis and to neutraUse the acid sites with alkaline metals (magnesium, calcium) or phosphorus or a mixture of such. This can generate a further problem, in that the catalyst promotes the formation of carbon (coke) and hydrogen which are thermodynamically favoured at the reaction temperatures.

Examples of major ion-exchange applications are listed in Table 13.2-1, The fields of water treatment, effineal treat mam, and pollution control ate predominant and there heve been many recent advnaces. For example, the partial demineralization of brackish water using the Siimherm process has been developed in Australia and this is probably one of the most innovative developments in recent yarns. Important applications in the fields of medicine, pharmacology, chemical processing, catalysis, and analytical techniques are also mentioned. The remainder of this suction describes some important applications in detail.
