The thermal and photochemical reactions of Ir111 complexes (438) and (439), respectively, yield the same product species (440), R2 = Ph2, Me2, HPh.692 Kinetic studies indicate that the reaction involves the direct reductive transfer of the methyl to the phosphide via a three-centered transition state. The crystal structures of (438) and (439) (R2 = Ph2) are reported.

A variation is observed for E. coli thioredoxin reductase. The reducible disulfide and the NADPH binding site are both on the same side of the flavin rather than on opposite sides as in Fig. 15-12.190/259 Mercuric reductase also uses NADPH as the reductant transferring the 4S hydrogen. The Hg2+ presumably binds to a sulfur atom of the reduced disulfide loop and there undergoes reduction. The observed geometry of the active site is correct for this mechanism. 

Aryl-2-alkynols In a process mechanistically analogous to the Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley reduction, transfer of arylethynyl group to certain aldehydes (such as chloral and pentafluorobenzaldehyde) can be achieved via the trialkoxyaluminum species derived from 4-aryl-2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ols and the aluminum reagent [or 12,2 -bipheny lenedioxy-(/-butoxy)aluminum].

Besides [2+2]-cydoadditions, also the photochemical alkylation of fuUerenes is of interest. It includes a photo-induced electron transfer, which due to the fuUer-enes acceptor properties normally means the formation of a radical anion by reductive transfer. There are, however, examples of oxidative processes as well. 

In most metal electrodes, a process of chemical oxidation and reduction transfers current. At the anode, oxidation occurs, and elections are given up to the parent metal. Reduction occurs at the cathode, where metal ions in solution accept electrons from the metal. 

Wash filters twice with DME/0.2% BSA. Keep two filters on ice (one of these will represent the total amount of proteins at the surface before internalization, the other will be treated with the reducing solution and will represent your control of efficiency of reduction), transfer the other filters to 37°C for various times to allow the biotinylated proteins to be internalized. 

In the actual process, the reduction transfers from one system to another with the increasing of the reduction degree, and the change of the total rate corresponds to a combination of these equations, and it can be simplified as a first order relationship... 

Here, /oa and /oc are the exchange current densities for anode and cathode, respectively. Since reactions are different in anode and cathode, /oa joc- The forward (reduction) reaction charge transfer coefficients for anode and cathode are and aRed,c/ respectively. Similarly, backward (oxidation) reaction charge transfer coefficients for anode and cathode are aox,a and Uox c/ respectively. The oxidation and reduction transfer coefficients are related by the following expressions ... 

In the process of conversion of pyruvate to acetyl CoA, the PDHc El catalyzes both the oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate and the reductive transfer of the acetyl product onto the lipoyl group at E2 lipoyl domain. E2 catalyzes the transfer of the acetyl group from the lipoyl domain to CoA creating acetyl CoA. E3 regenerates the disulphide bond in the dithiolane ring of the lipoyl group [11]. 

As applied to metals, the series was first established by laboratory experiments to discover which metal would displace others from their salts. Thus a strip of clean zinc immersed in a solution of copper sulphate is soon covered by a deposit of metallic copper while the zinc passes into solution as Zn. This process is really an oxidation-reduction transfer of electrons ...
