Uncertainties in extractingS17from transfer reactions

Modeling of uncertainties in biochemical reactions.

Mathematical modeling is an indispensable tool for research and development in biotechnology and bioengineering. The formulation of kinetic models of biochemical networks depends on knowledge of the kinetic properties of the enzymes of the individual reactions. However, kinetic data acquired from experimental observations bring along uncertainties due to various experimental conditions and meas...

Transfer Reactions

We report on an attempt to study the 1 8 0 ( p , 3 ~ e ) 1 6 ~ reaction in order to locate T=2 states in 1 6 ~ and, eventually, to identify T=2 states in 160 as well. This attempt failed. We will describe here the conditions of the run and the analysis of the results. In January 1988 we bombarded a 300 pg/cm2 W03 (enriched to over 99% in 180) target evaporated on a 75 p/cm2 12C foil1 with 90.5 ...

Chemoselectivity in Transfer-Hydrogenation Reactions

Biological electron-transfer reactions.

A wide range of biological processes makes extensive use of electron-transfer reactions. Rigorous characterization of a biological electron-transfer reaction requires a combination of kinetic, thermodynamic, structural and theoretical methods. The rate of electron transfer from an electron donor to an electron acceptor through a protein is dependent on the difference in reduction potential of t...

A unified diabatic description for electron transfer reactions, isomerization reactions, proton transfer reactions, and aromaticity.

While diabatic approaches are ubiquitous for the understanding of electron-transfer reactions and have been mooted as being of general relevance, alternate applications have not been able to unify the same wide range of observed spectroscopic and kinetic properties. The cause of this is identified as the fundamentally different orbital configurations involved: charge-transfer phenomena involve ...
