The mass transfer of a rising bubble in creeping flow regime is numerically investigated. A reversible oxidation-reduction reaction taken into account. Two coupled equations are needed to study the oxygen and reduced species transport. Three dimensionless numbers involved: Péclet Damköhler ratio diffusion coefficient oxygen. Numerical computations applied soda-lime-silica borosilicate glass-for...

Isotope exchange studies show that beef liver fructokinase has a random kinetic mechanism in which release of fructose from the enzyme is slower than that catalytic reaction. The stickiness of fructose in the presence of MgATP is confirmed by isotope partition studies, which show it to be released 0.53 times as fast as V1/Et in the presence, and 80--130 times as fast in the absence of MgATP. Fr...

A new fast method of measuring kinetic reaction rates for two-site chemical exchange is described. The method employs saturation transfer magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and acquisition of only four spectra under partially saturated, high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) conditions. In two acquisitions one of the exchanging species is saturated; the other two employ a control saturation. Each ...

The bioorthogonal chemical reporter strategy is emerging as a versatile method for the labeling of biomolecules, such as nucleic acids, lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins. In this approach, an abiotic chemical functionality (reporter) is incorporated into a target biomolecule and can then react with a complementary bioorthogonal functional group linked to one of a diverse set of probes. The az...

We consider absorbing chemical reactions in a fluid flow modeled by the coupled advection-reaction-diffusion equations. In these systems, interplay between diffusion and transportation causes enhanced dissipation phenomenon. show that time scale, together with reaction coupling strength, determines characteristic scale of reaction.

Microfluidics is an attractive platform for chemical synthesis because it offers fast reaction times, reduced reagent usage, and the ability to integrate multiple functions on a single device. Digital Microfluidics (DMF) is particularly well-suited for microscale chemical synthesis, as it permits discretized sample handling, allowing for total process control. However, a limitation of DMF-based...
