Enzymic Catalysis
The time of greatest sensitivity to radiation is during the period of organogenesis in the first twelve weeks of human foetal development. Irradiation of the adult can cause life shortening or increased incidence of leukemia. The last chapter is concerned with the basis and origin of radiation protection standards, the hazards of nuclear power plants, high altitude supersonic aerospace travel, ...
متن کاملEnzymic catalysis of glucuronyl transfer.
Group transfer reactions catalyzed by enzymes have assumed a position of intense interest in contemporary enzymology (1). Well known examples of radicals capable of being transferred in such reactions are methyl, glycosyl, aeetyl, phosphoryl, pept,idyl, nucleosidyl, and nucleotidyl, in addition to the transport of hydrogen as seen with the familiar nuoleot.ide coenzymes. In this paper we wish t...
متن کاملNew Perspectives on Thiamine Catalysis: From Enzymic to Biomimetic Catalysis
This paper is a brief review of the detailed mechanism of action of thiamine enzymes, based on metal complexes of bivalent transition and post-transition metals of model compounds, thiamine derivatives, synthesized and characterized with spectroscopic techniques and X-ray crystal structure determinations. It is proposed that the enzymatic reaction is initiated with a V conformation of thiamine ...
متن کاملRelation between enzymic catalysis and energy coupling.
The principles that underlie enzyme catalysis also apply to energy coupling processes. A comparison is made between a kinase system that mediates the phosphorylation of glucose by ATP (hexokinase), as the prototype for enzymic catalysis, and the mitochondrial electron-transfer complexes, as the prototypes for energy coupling systems. Induced polarization of chemical bonds and charge separation ...
متن کاملCooperative catalysis by silica-supported organic functional groups.
Hybrid inorganic-organic materials comprising organic functional groups tethered from silica surfaces are versatile, heterogeneous catalysts. Recent advances have led to the preparation of silica materials containing multiple, different functional groups that can show cooperative catalysis; that is, these functional groups can act together to provide catalytic activity and selectivity superior ...
