Fundamentals of Enzymology: The Cell and Molecular Biology of Catalytic Proteins

Book Description

Since the publication of the successful and popular second edition of Fundamentals of Enzymology in 1989 there has been a large increase in the knowledge of several aspects of enzymology, not least the rapid acceleration of structural characterization of enzymes and the development of the field of bioinformatics. This new edition places appropriate emphasis on the new knowledge and consolidates the strengths of the previous editions. As before, Fundamentals of Enzymology 3rd ed gives an all-round view of the field including enzyme purification and characterization, enzyme structure (including information on the web), enzyme kinetics, the mechanisms and control of enzyme action, enzyme folding, how enzymes act in vivo, enzyme synthesis and degradation, and also clinical and industrial applications of enzymology. Throughout the book, the integration of these themes is stressed.

Product Description

The monograph is intended to systematize data on active sites and their kinetic and stereospecific heterogeneity (polysite phenomenon) in olefin and diene monomer ion, ion-coordination and complex radical polymerization processes. Questions of molecular-mass distribution of polymers obtained by ion and ion-coordination polymerization methods are discussed together with composition and stereo regularity distribution of olefin copolymers. Data on the influence of transition and non-transition metal origin and their ligand ambience, conditions of catalytic system preparation and polymerization are shown. Various assessment methods of polymerization active site distribution by kinetic activity and stereospecific action are considered. In particular, an assessment method for kinetic activity distribution at ion-coordination diene polymerization is described, mathematical simulation parameters for polymerization processes are shown, taking into account the polysite structure of catalytic systems. Of special attention are geometrical and electron structure of active sites in the ion-coordination polymerization by the quantum chemistry method, interrelation between reactivity of some types of active sites and stereospecificity of their action in diene polymerization. The importance of ratio between specific time elementary act duration at the diene injection, coordinated on an active site, and time of propagating macrochain end unit existence in the s-state at polydiene microstructure formation is indicated. Questions of the polysite mechanism occurrence in complex radical polymerization processes are discussed. A possibility for polymerization to proceed in both free-radical and complex related chain propagation sites is shown.

Book Description

In the past 15 years, free-radical polymerization has undergone a dramatic revitalization. "Living polymerization," ATRP (atomic transfer radical polymerization) and RAFT (reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer) polymerization have come to dominate research in this area. Powerful experimental and analytical techniques are now used to probe the basic kinetics and mechanisms of the processes involved. High degrees of control over physical and chemical properties have lead to more efficient polymer production and new products. The state of the art in all these areas was presented and discussed at the IUPAC-sponsored "International Symposium on Free-Radical Polymerization: Kinetics and Mechanism" (SML '01) held in IL Ciocco, Italy, in June 2001. This volume of Macromolecular Symposia presents an excellent overview of modern research in free-radical polymerization.

Book Description

The IUPAC-sponsored International Symposium on ?Radical Polymerization: Kinetics and Mechanism? was held in Il Ciocco (Italia) during the week September 3-8, 2006. It was the fourth within the series of so-called SML conferences, which are the major scientific forum for addressing kinetic and mechanistic aspects of free-radical polymerization and of ontrolled radical polymerization. Top international authors like K. Matyjaszewski, T. P. Davis, T. Fukuda and others present their latest research.
The five major themes covered were: Fundamentals of Free-Radical Polymerization, Heterogeneous Polymerization, Controlled Radical Polymerization, Polymer Reaction Engineering, and Polymer Characterization. SML IV again marked an important step forward toward the better understanding of the kinetics and mechanism of radical polymerization, which is extremely relevant for both conventional and controlled radical polymerization and for people in academia as well as in industry.

From the author: Plasma polymerization generates thin, pinhole-free, and highly adhering films and is often described by the ratio of power to mass flow rate (energy per mass). This research explores the relationships between plasma reactor parameters such as monomer flow rate, plasma power, and reactor pressure and the rates of polymerization, etching, and deposition. The chemical structure of the amorphous, crosslinked plasma polymerized hexafluoropropylene consists largely of similar amounts of [C.sup.*]-CF, CF, C[F.sub.2], and C[F.sub.3] groups and some C-C groups. A dimensionless plasma parameter (E) proportional to power and inversely proportional to flow rate cubed was derived. E, reflecting both plasma energy and residence time, was used to describe various aspects of the plasma reactions. A dimensionless exponential expression successfully described the dependence of pressure on E with a master curve. An expression for polymerization efficiency (polymer conversion) derived in part through a mass balance was also successfully related to E using an exponential master curve. The rate of deposition was described as the difference between the rates of polymerization and etching. The deposition efficiency maximum and plateau were successfully described by the difference between polymerization and etching efficiencies, each related exponentially to E. The technique used to derive parameters to describe the dependence of plasma reactions on plasma operating conditions can be applied to any monomer/reactor system.

From the author: The polymerization kinetics of HEMA-grafted silica nanoparticles and HEMA monomer mixtures was studied under thermal and UV cures. These two kinds of cure, which correspond to very different initiation rates, lead to opposite effects on the polymerization kinetics as methacrylate-grafted silica nanoparticles are introduced. When the polymerization was done under UV, i.e., in the case of a high initiation rate, the introduction of grafted silica nanoparticles increases the polymerization rate. On the contrary, when the polymerization rate is thermally activated, an opposite effect is observed after the introduction of the grafted silica nanoparticles. Two phenomena having opposite effects on the polymerization kinetics are involved: i) the high functionality of silica nanoparticles leads to an increase of the polymerization rate of the reactive system; ii) the methacrylate groups at the silica surface have a lower reactivity, due to their reduced mobility, and are responsible for the formation of shielded radicals. The large difference in the initiation rates between the two types of polymerization gives evidence of these opposite effects: a high radical concentration leads to a high UV polymerization rate, whereas for the thermal polymerization, shielded radicals still exist but cannot completely mask the presence of the effect of high-functionality species, i.e., grafted silica.

From the author: This article concerns the characterization of the polymerization kinetics of an unsaturated polyester resin containing a large excess of styrene. For this type of resin, DSC measurements happen to not be satisfactory. Two complementary techniques were then used: an in situ near infrared spectroscopy and a PVT mold equipped with heat flux sensors. This article describes these two experimental devices and the methods used to obtain the experimental data. By monitoring the evolutions of unsaturated polyester and styrene conversions with near infrared spectroscopy, it was possible to identify two different chemical mechanisms occurring during the resin cure responsible for the measured two-peaks thermograms. Their relative importance was quantified. A kinetic model representative of these two coupled reactions was established and its parameters evaluated from the thermal analysis. This model was able to predict the kinetic behavior of the resin outside of the domain of study, even at high temperature, where the second peak of the thermogram vanishes while the final conversion decreases. This model was also able to simulate the resin cure during experiments with an imposed heating rate. POLYM. ENG. SCI., 45:846-856, 2005.
