This article describes additional data related to a research article entitled "Kinetics of Quadruplex to Duplex Conversion" (Mendoza et al. 2015 [1]). We followed the opening reaction of a series of intramolecular G-quadruplex structures by the addition of their corresponding complementary strand. Fluorolabeled complementary strands allowed to monitor the reaction in real-time. An adapted kinet...

A theoretical model of a surface electrode reaction coupled with a preceding chemical reaction (surface CE electrode mechanism) is theoretically studied under conditions of square-wave voltammetry. The position and the shape of the theoretical voltammograms are function of the redox kinetic parameter k 1⁄4 ks f where ks is the standard electron exchange rate constant and f is the frequency of t...

Intestinal sulfate-reducing bacteria reduce sulfate ions to hydrogen sulfide causing inflammatory bowel diseases of humans and animals. The bacteria consume lactate as electron donor which is oxidized to acetate via pyruvate in process of the dissimilatory sulfate reduction. Pyruvate-ferredoxin oxidoreductase activity and the kinetic properties of the enzyme from intestinal sulfate-reducing bac...

Phosphotransacetylase activity and the kinetic properties of the enzyme from intestinal sulfate-reducing bacteria Desulfovibrio piger and Desulfomicrobium sp. has never been well-characterized and has not been studied yet. In this paper, the specific activity of phosphotransacetylase and the kinetic properties of the enzyme in cell-free extracts of both D. piger Vib-7 and Desulfomicrobium sp. R...

We studied the kinetics of the reaction between cholesterol and sulfuric acid in acetic acid-acetic anhydride medium. Results have been used to establish near-optimal conditions for the fast kinetic determination of cholesterol in serum. The reaction rate measured during the first 20 s of the reaction is proportional to cholesterol concentration. There is good agreement (<2% deviation) between ...

The thermal calcination of borax pentahydrate was investigated for both dehydration and decomposition steps at temperatures between 392 and 573 K in a controlled fluidized bed drier. The best kinetic parameters (reaction rate constants, reaction order and equilibrium values) of both steps were determined by the genetic algorithm (GA) method for each calcination temperature in respect of relativ...

In this paper the equilibrium properties of the proline catalyzed aldol reaction was studied. The use of wellestablished methodologies, like reaction progress kinetic analysis and linear free energy relationship analysis, led to the quantification of the reaction reversibility and to its correlation with the substrate electronic activation. Due to these experimental observations, common computa...

The olefins polymerization process in a slurry reactor is discussed. The reaction rate dynamics was analyzed and the contributions of feed flow, gas-liquid mass transfer, polymerization reaction, and catalyst deactivation were estimated. The propylene solubility in a solvent mixture “heptane” was calculated using Soave-Redlich-Kwong equation of state. These data were then approximated by Henry-...
