When Sn2 reactions are carried out on these substrates, rates are greatly increased for certain nucleophiles (e.g., halide or halide-like ions), but decreased or essentially unaffected by others. For example, a-Chloroaceto-phenone (PhCOCH2Cl) reacts with KI in acetone at 75°C 32,000 times faster than l-Chlorobutane, ° but a-bromoacetophenone reacts with the nucleophile triethylamine 0.14 times as fast as iodomethane. The reasons for this varying behavior are not clear, but those nucleophiles that form a tight transition state (one in which bond making and bond breaking have proceeded to about the same extent) are more likely to accelerate the reac-tion. ...

It has been believed that P-450 reduction by NADPH cytochrome P-450 reductase is a biphasic process, but it was recently shown [7] that some P-450 cytochromes are reduced with single-exponential kinetics and that the presence of substrate is not an obligatory condition for the reduction of all P-450 forms. Thus, the kinetics of reduction of various ferric P-450 cytochromes possibly depends on many factors such as substrate, rate-limiting step, etc.

Once the four anionic fractions were isolated (Bi, B2, Xi, X2), their activities were investigated using ferulic or / -fluoroferulic isopropylamine salts as substrates. Rates were plotted as a function of substrate concentration. The Lineweaver-Burk plots obtained (Fig. 4) were not always strictly linear as already reported in the case of ferulic acid and scolopetin oxidation (10,11)- An estimation was made of the apparent Km using the linear part of the plots and results were compared with those obtained for TMB. The values found in this case were in the same order of magnitude, about 0.5 X 10-3 to 1 x 10-3 M. In all extracts, / -fluoroferulic salt inhibited enzyme activity for concentrations higher than 0.25 X 10-2 M.

If we consider a conversion (removal of substrate) rate of 99%, then there is 1% of the substrate left at the output, or Csss = 14 g/m3 since the digester receives Csf = 1400 g/m3 of substrate at its input. Notice that the variable in (4.30) is Csss and that all parameters in (4.30) are now specified. 

In the determination of steady state reaction kinetic constants of enzyme-substrate reactions, FABMS also provides some very unique capabilities. Since these studies are best performed in the absence of glycerol in the reaction mixture, the preferred method is that which analyzes aliquots which are removed from a batch reaction at timed intervals. Quantitation of the reactants and products of interest is essential. When using internal standards, generally, the closer in mass the ion of interest is to that of the internal standard, the better is the quantitative accuracy. Using these techniques in the determination of kinetic constants of trypsin with several peptide substrates, it was found that these constants could be easily measured (8). FABMS was used to follow the decrease in the reactant substrate and/or the increase in the products with time and with varying concentrations of substrate. Rates of reactions were calculated from these data for each of the several substrate concentrations used and from the Lineweaver-Burk plot, the values of Km and Vmax are obtained.

Specific growth rates (/Xx), specific substrate rates (/xs), and ethanol production rates (/Xp) were calculated, and results are shown in Fig. 2 for 5o= 103.1 g L. Similar profiles were obtained for the other initial substrate concentration studied (data not shown). As can be observed, specific growth rates, substrate consumption, and product formation followed a typical pattern for ethanol fermentation [16]. The specific rate of substrate consumption (ps) and ethanol production (/Xp) present sunilar profiles, thus correlating it very well. The specific growth rate (/Xx) presents, approximately, the same course of the others two curves. Then, ethanol formation is associated with growth, consumption of substrate, and catabolism reaction, typical of a primary metabolite (Fig. 2). 

The flux of a substrate (rate of transport) across the plasma membrane via transporter-mediated processes is characterized by saturabUity. The relationship between the flux v and substrate concentration C in a transporter-mediated process is analogous to the rate of product formed by an enzyme and the concentration of substrate. The maximum transport rate is proportional to the density of transporters on the plasma membrane, and the represents the substrate concentration at which the flux is half maximal. When C is small compared with the K, the flux is increased in proportion to the substrate concentration (roughly linearly). If C is large compared with the K value, the flux approaches the maximal value (V ). The and V values can be deter-...

Methyl transfer reactions play a significant part in the modifications of aromatic polyketides, both of the polyketide core [61,62] as well as of several of the sugar moieties [44,53]. In Streptomyces, more than 20 amino acid sequences have been found that may represent enzymes involved in methyl transfer reactions in the biosynthesis of aromatic polyketides [149]. One of these enzymes, the S-adenosyl-L-methionine-dependent DnrK, is involved in the methylation of the C-4 hydroxyl group in daunorubicin/doxorubicin biosynthesis (Scheme 10, step 12). The subunit of the homo-dimeric enzyme displays a fold typical for small-molecule methyltransferases. The structure of the ternary complex with bound products S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine and 4-methoxy-8-rhodomycin provided insights into the structural basis of substrate recognition and catalysis [149]. The position and orientation of the substrates suggest an Sn2 mechanism for methyl transfer, and mutagenesis experiments show that there is no catalytic base in the vicinity of the substrate. Rate enhancement is thus most likely due to orientational and proximity effects [149]. 

For multistep intermediate complex models and those with multiple substrates, rate equations are most rehably written down by using the method of Cha (1968). Cha s method is a modification of the entire King-Altman schematic method of analysis in which simplification is achieved by treating some of the steps as quasi-equihbria (Chapter 4). It is particularly useful in the analysis of pH dependence, because rapid-equilibrium assumptions may be justified by the high rates of proton-transfer steps in aqueous media (Knowles, 1976).
