Reaction, affinity extent

In these equations we see the regularity that the partial differential of these four thermodynamic potentials with respect to their respective extensive variables gives us their conjugated intensive variables and vice versa. We thus obtain minus the affinity of an irreversible process in terms of the partial differentials of U, H, F, and G with respect to the extent of reaction affinity is an extensive variable. [Pg.28]

The catalytic cycle of the Na+/K+-ATPase can be described by juxtaposition of distinct reaction sequences that are associated with two different conformational states termed Ei and E2 [1]. In the first step, the Ei conformation is that the enzyme binds Na+ and ATP with very high affinity (KD values of 0.19-0.26 mM and 0.1-0.2 pM, respectively) (Fig. 1A, Step 1). After autophosphorylation by ATP at the aspartic acid within the sequence DKTGS/T the enzyme occludes the 3 Na+ ions (Ei-P(3Na+) Fig. la, Step 2) and releases them into the extracellular space after attaining the E2-P 3Na+ conformation characterized by low affinity for Na+ (Kq5 = 14 mM) (Fig. la, Step 3). The following E2-P conformation binds 2 K+ ions with high affinity (KD approx. 0.1 mM Fig. la, Step 4). The binding of K+ to the enzyme induces a spontaneous dephosphorylation of the E2-P conformation and leads to the occlusion of 2 K+ ions (E2(2K+) Fig. la, Step 5). Intracellular ATP increases the extent of the release of K+ from the E2(2K+) conformation (Fig. la, Step 6) and thereby also the return of the E2(2K+) conformation to the EiATPNa conformation. The affinity ofthe E2(2K+) conformation for ATP, with a K0.5 value of 0.45 mM, is very low. [Pg.813]

A competitive inhibitor and substrate exert reciprocal effects on the concentration of the EI and ES complexes. Since binding substrate removes free enzyme available to combine with inhibitor, increasing the [S] decreases the concentration of the EI complex and raises the reaction velocity. The extent to which [S] must be increased to completely overcome the inhibition depends upon the concentration of inhibitor present, its affinity for the enzyme K-, and the of the enzyme for its substrate. [Pg.68]

If the reaction in the cell proceeds to unit extent, then the charge nF corresponding to integral multiples of the Faraday constant is transported through the cell from the left to the right in its graphical representation. Factor n follows from the stoichiometry of the cell reaction (for example n = 2 for reaction c or d). The product nFE is the work expended when the cell reaction proceeds to a unit extent and at thermodynamic equilibrium and is equal to the affinity of this reaction. Thus,... [Pg.171]

It is shown that model, end-linked networks cannot be perfect networks. Simply from the mechanism of formation, post-gel intramolecular reaction must occur and some of this leads to the formation of inelastic loops. Data on the small-strain, shear moduli of trifunctional and tetrafunctional polyurethane networks from polyols of various molar masses, and the extents of reaction at gelation occurring during their formation are considered in more detail than hitherto. The networks, prepared in bulk and at various dilutions in solvent, show extents of reaction at gelation which indicate pre-gel intramolecular reaction and small-strain moduli which are lower than those expected for perfect network structures. From the systematic variations of moduli and gel points with dilution of preparation, it is deduced that the networks follow affine behaviour at small strains and that even in the limit of no pre-gel intramolecular reaction, the occurrence of post-gel intramolecular reaction means that network defects still occur. In addition, from the variation of defects with polyol molar mass it is demonstrated that defects will still persist in the limit of infinite molar mass. In this limit, theoretical arguments are used to define the minimal significant structures which must be considered for the definition of the properties and structures of real networks. [Pg.28]

Fig. 11. Evidence that a membrane-associated immunochemical reaction (complement fixation) depends on the mobility of the target hapten (IX) in the plane of a model membrane. The extent of the immunochemical reaction, complement fixation, is measured by A Absorbance at 413 nm. Temperature is always 32°C, which is above the chainmelting temperature (23°C) of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine used for the data given in A and below the chain-melting transition temperature (42°C) of dipalmitoylphosphatidyl-choline used for the data in B. Thus A refers to a fluid membrane and B refers to a solid membrane. The numbers by each curve are equal to c, the mole % of spin-label hapten IX in the plane of the lipid membrane. It will be seen that complement fixation, as measured by A Absorbance at 413 nm is far more effective in the fluid membrane than in the solid membrane at low hapten concentrations (i.e., c 0.3 mo e%). In C the lipid membrane host is a 50 50 mole ratio mixture of cholesterol and dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine. The immunochemical data suggest that this membrane is in a state of intermediate fluidity. Specific affinity-purified IgG molecules were used in these experiments.
