Turnover number 430 Subject

Acetylcholinesterase is subject to substrate Inhibition at high concentrations, but Mlchaells kinetics are observed at lower concentrations, because the substrate constant and the Mlchaells constant differ by a factor of 100. Turnover numbers run about 2-9 x 10 min l, and (Mlchaells constant) values are about 0.2 mM.76,116 Whatever the source, the enzyme is subject to inhibition by the same reversible and irreversible inhibitors. Most of the kinetic work has been done with the saline-extracted 11S enzyme from electric eel and the detergent-extracted 6S enzyme from erythrocytes. The former Is a tetramer derived from the native enzyme by the action of proteases the latter is a dimer. 

Most recently, Wagaw, Yang, and Buchwald published a full account of the synthesis of indoles using the palladium-catalyzed amination process [185]. From the standpoint of catalysis, new results included improved turnover numbers and rates when Xantphos was used as ligand. Moreover, this ligand allowed diarylation of the hydrazone, including a one-pot sequential diarylation to provide mixed diaryl hydrazones. A procedure for the alkylation of N-aryl hydrazones was also reported. These procedures allow the formation of N-aryl and N-alkyl indoles after subjecting the products to Fischer conditions for indole synthesis. 

The turnover frequency (TOF) and the turnover number (TON), as shown in Equations (31) and (30), are frequently used parameters for the characterization of the catalyst performance. However, while the determination of the number of active centers is not too difficult for homogeneous catalysts, it can be a very intricate subject for heterogeneous catalysts. If it is useful to determine a TOF or TON for a catalyst, whose number of active center is unclear, is left to the readers opinion. 

An adaptation of rate per unit surface now in common use is the turnover number, N, defined as the number of molecules reacted per site per second. Although appealing in its molecular simplicity, the turnover number should be used with caution, since it requires a knowledge of the surface area under reaction conditions and the stoichiometry or structure of the active site. Surface area is difficult to measure. The most common approach is to find the surface area of the fresh catalyst in a separate experiment, where activation conditions may not be exactly reproduced. Next, the structure of the active site is needed to relate surface area to site density. This is the most elusive property in catalysis and is the subject of much research. It is not an overstatement to say that there are very few reactions where we can even approximate these structures. Perhaps In the future, innovative methods will open a way to use these concepts. In the meanwhite. it is better to represent rates on the basis of a measurable and known property, such as volume, mass, or surface area. 

Ionic liquids offer a number of potential advantages over organic solvents from a green perspective. Loss of solvent by evaporation is effectively zero. Reactions may be more selective in an ionic liquid, thereby reducing separation costs both from an economic and environmental perspective. For catalytic reactions as well as increasing selectivity, an ionic liquid may stabilize a catalyst and so increase lifetime and turnover number. The use of ionic liquids in catalysis has been the subject of several reviews in recent years,and organometallic chemistry in ionic liquids is reviewed in Volume 1. 

There was no effect on the turnover number (Table 2) when the Fe(lll) sample was argon ion bombarded on both sides for varying lengths of time before some of the catalytic runs. In order to test for the possibility that the stainless-steel high-pressure cell was catalyzit the reaction, the Fe(111) crystal was replaced by a platinum sample of similar dimensions in order to reproduce, as closely as possible, the heat transfer between the crystal and the cell walls. When subjected to the usual synthesis reaction conditions at 773 K for many minutes, the platinum sample and cell walls produced no anunonia either as detected in the PID or as background gas in the mass spectrum after the cell was reopened to the UHV chamber. 

Characterization of active sites. In more fundamental studies, the reaction rateshould not refer to the mass of catalyst or metal, but to the active site. The detection of active sites, including the density (A) and the intensity of active site is a central subject of heterogeneous catalysis. The turnover number or turnover frequency (TOF) on per unit active site per unit time under the given conditions can be calculated according to active site determined. At present, TOF is a basis to obtain the intrinsic activity of metals as well as determine the reaction mechanisms. Due to the dimension of TOF is the reciprocal of second, the comparisons of the... 

By subjecting extracts of rabbit muscle to a series of ammonium sulfate fractionations, a cut was obtained which had a turnover number of about 1400 per minute per 10 g. of protein. Since the enzyme is imusually labile to acid conditions in all purification procedures the pH had to be held above 7. There is evidence that the stability of the enzyme is affected not only by the pH but also by the nature of the ionic environment and concentration. Thus, certain anions such as oxalate, pyrophosphate, phosphate, and sulfate tend to stabilize buffered solutions of the enzyme. ... 

Figure 8.1 Body iron stores and daily iron exchange. The figure shows a schematic representation of the routes of iron movement in normal adult male subjects. The plasma iron pool is about 4 mg (transferrin-bound iron and non-transferrin-bound iron), although the daily turnover is over 30 mg. The iron in parenchymal tissues is largely haem (in muscle) and ferritin/haemosiderin (in hepatic parenchymal cells). Dotted arrows represent iron loss through loss of epithelial cells in the gut or through blood loss. Numbers are in mg/day. Transferrin-Tf haemosiderin - hs MPS - mononuclear phagocytic system, including macrophages in spleen and Kupffer cells in liver.

A remarkable feature of iridium enantioselective hydrogenation is the promotion of the reaction by large non-coordinating anions [73]. This has been the subject of considerable activity (anticipated in an earlier study by Osborn and coworkers) on the effects of the counterion in Rh enantioselective hydrogenation [74]. The iridium chemistry was motivated by initial synthetic limitations. With PFg as counterion to the ligated Ir cation, the reaction ceases after a limited number of turnovers because of catalyst deactivation. The mechanism of... 

The activity of a catalyst can be written as a product of two factors, the number of active sites and the turnover frequency. The turnover frequency is the subject of this section, we will return to the number of active sites later. 

Equations (6.72)-(6.74) show that t decreases dramatically for an increasing number of molecular degrees of freedom. This results both because of the larger Icvr expected for larger molecules and because of the n-dependent correction in Eqs. (6.72)-(6.74). Equation (6.55) then implies that the turnover from well dynamics to barrier dynamics dominated rate occurs for large molecules at much smaller solvent viscosities (or pressure in the gas phase) than for small molecules. This point was discussed in the literature and was the subject of several recent experimental investigations. Since for this small friction the barrier dominated rate is identical to the TST rate, it may be concluded that for large molecules a plateau in the rate versus solvent friction, where k = should be observed.
