Formation of natural gas hydrate is a serious problem in the gas and oil industry because it can plug pipelines and destroy the equipment. This study aimes to evaluate the concentration effect of glycol ethers on their synergism with a commercial kinetic hydrate inhibitor (Luvicap 55W) in sweet natural gas-water systems at a constant temperature of 4 oC and pressure of 95 bar. Hydrate formation...

The dye tetraiodofluorescein (TIF) was found to be an effective inhibitor of yeast hexokinase. It is a competitive inhibitor relative to MgATP2- and a noncompetitive inhibitor of glucose binding, a kinetic pattern consistent with the previously proposed random kinetic mechanism. TIF interacts directly with the native dimeric protein to give a difference spectrum with a maximum at 543 nm. Monome...

1. Kinetic investigations of the reaction catalysed by ATP-creatine phosphotransferase have been carried out. 2. No firm conclusions could be reached about the reaction of Mg(2+) at the nucleotide-binding site of the enzyme. The value of the kinetic constant for this reaction depends on the value used for the apparent stability constant of the metal ion-nucleotide complex and, to a smaller exte...

The irreversible inhibition of catalase by 3-amino-l, 2,4-trizole and a group of related inhibitors (1) in the presence of a continuous supply of hydrogen peroxide has been shown to result from a reaction of the inhibitors with catalase-hydrogen peroxide complex I (2) in which 1 mole of inhibitor is incorporated into the enzyme protein for each mole of catalase heme that has reacted (1). The ki...

abstract background and objective: highly active antiretroviral therapy (haart) can effectively prevent the progression of hiv-1 replication and increase life expectancy. there are numerous causes of treatment failure and the leading one is drug resistance. thus, we aimed to determine the hiv rt gene drug resistance mutations in patients treated with antiretroviral medications. material and met...

This paper studies the corrosion inhibition of Al-Mg alloy system in 0.5 mol/dm3 NaCl solution in the presence of pyrazole derivative using potentiodynamic polarization and linear polarization method. The inhibition efficiency as a function of concentration and temperature was investigated. From the polarization curves, it can be concluded that the pyrazole derivative be...
