Kinetic models which can express the behaviors of hydrolysis and biogas generation more precisely than the conventional models were developed. The developed models were evaluated based on the experimental data of six batch reactors. Anaerobic digestion test was co-digestion of food and vegetable waste with inoculating horse dung by 15% of the total wet weight, at the temperature of 37o</su...

In the present work we systematically studied hydrolysis of magnesium hydride in MgCl2 aqueous solutions, which was used as a process promotor. The initial rate, pH reaction mixture, and overall yield are all found to be linearly dependent logarithm concentration. phase-structural elemental compositions formed precipitates showed that they do not contain chlorine ions solely consist Mg(OH)2. si...

Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase catalyzes the hydrolysis of glutamine by the nucleophilic attack of an active site cysteine residue through a mechanism that requires the formation of a gamma-glutamyl thioester intermediate. The steady-state mole fraction of the thioester intermediate was determined to be 0.23 in the presence and absence of ATP and bicarbonate. The kinetics of formation and hydro...

The correspondence between the magnitude of the free energy of hydrolysis of ATP and the f ree energy involved in the Ca2+ gradient in sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) vesicles was tested by substitution of either diastereomers of adenosine 5’-0-(2-thiotriphosphate) (ATPPS), (R) or ( S ) for ATP. The thionucleotides have a free energy of hydrolysis 12.5 kcal greater than ATP. Nevertheless, the magn...

Enzymatic hydrolysis of pre-treated wheat straw has been studied. Several additives have checked as potential improvers glucose yield in the enzymatic hydrolysis, trying to avoid cellulases inhibition by lignin a cause decrease saccharification rate lignocellulosic biomass. Non-ionic surfactants, such Tween 80 (poly(oxyethylene)20-sorbitan-monooleate) and polyethylene glycol-6000, proteins, bov...

Carbon cycling and the availability of organic carbon for nutrient removal processes are in most wastewater treatment systems restricted by the rate of hydrolysis of slowly biodegradable (particulate) organic matter. To date, the mechanisms of hydrolysis are not well understood for complex substrates and mixed populations. Most mathematical models use a simple one-step process to describe hydro...

Highly purified Aplysia californica ADP-ribosyl cyclase was found to be a multifunctional enzyme. In addition to the known transformation of NAD(+) into cADP-ribose this enzyme is able to catalyse the solvolysis (hydrolysis and methanolysis) of cADP-ribose. This cADP-ribose hydrolase activity, which becomes detectable only at high concentrations of the enzyme, is amplified with analogues such a...

Dissolved organic phosphorus (DOP) is increasingly recognized as an important phosphorus source to marine primary producers. Despite its importance, the production rate and fate of DOP is poorly understood. In this study, patterns of DOP production were evaluated by tracking the evolution of DOP during simulated phytoplankton blooms initiated with nutrient amended surface waters, relative to co...
