Substrate Interference

When excess substrate interferes with growth and/or product formation. One example is the production of baker s yeast. It is known that relatively low concentrations of certain sugars repress respiration and this will make the yeast cells switch to fermentative metabolism, even under aerobic conditions. This, of course, has a negative effect on biomass yield. When maximum biomass production is aimed at, fed batch cultures are the best choice, since the concentration of limiting sugar remains low enough to avoid repression of respiration. 

The related zinc cuprates formed from diorganozinc reagents and copper(I) cyanide also undergo smooth SN2 substitution reactions with propargyl oxiranes in the presence of phosphines or phosphites (Scheme 2.12). These transformations can also be performed with catalytic amounts of the copper salt since no direct reaction between the organozinc reagent and the substrate interferes [31, 34], and therefore should also be applicable to functionalized organozinc compounds.

The rate data on the hydrolysis of different oligosaccharides by the almond glucohydrolase are shown in Table II. These data can be interpreted to indicate that the active site for the enzyme is composed of two subsites. Apparently the active site is so located on the enzyme that additional glucose residues in the substrate interfere with the binding of the substrate to the active site. 

In line with our previous experiences, diene 56 readily cyclized to the desired 19-membered ring 57 on reaction with the ruthenium carbene 2 (5 mol%) in refluxing CH2C12. The fact that neither the free hydroxyl group nor any other functionality in the substrate interfere with RCM illustrates the excellent compatibility and selectivity of the Grubbs catalyst (7). Hydrogenation of the crude cycloalkene ( -mixture) thus obtained afforded the desired disaccharide 57 in 77% yield. The elaboration of this compound into tricolorin A 46 can be achieved according to literature procedures (25). 

Ethene (ethylene) is the prototypical alkene. Its mechanism of hydrogenation is a topic of continuing interest [69,70]. INS measurements have been especially useful in exploring the low frequency torsional motions of bound ethene and in the observation of spectra free from substrate interference. 

The first use of laser interferometry in monitoring the dissolution rate of a resist during development was by Konnerth and Dill. " The basis of their idea is shown in Fig. 11.28. A laser beam is directed toward the film, which is immersed in the developer. The reflected beam from the surface of the film and that reflected from the interface between resist and substrate interfere constructively or...
