Nitrogenase-catalyzed substrate reduction reactions require electron transfer between two component proteins, the iron (Fe) protein and the molybdenum-iron (MoFe) protein, in a reaction that is coupled to the hydrolysis of MgATP. In the present work, electron transfer (Marcus) theory has been applied to nitrogenase electron transfer reactions to gain insights into possible roles for MgATP in th...

Molecular vibrations and electron-vibrational interactions are central to the control of biomolecular electron and energy-transfer rates. The vibrational control of molecular electron-transfer reactions by infrared pulses may enable the precise probing of electronic-vibrational interactions and of their roles in determining electron-transfer mechanisms. This type of electron-transfer rate contr...

background: embryo transfer (et) has traditionally been performed two days after oocyte retrieval. delaying transfer from day two to day three or four would allow for further development of the embryo might therefore optimize the selection of viable and best quality embryos for transfer and may be closer to the physiological time of the entry into the uterus than transfer on day two and might h...

Electron-transfer rate constants were measured for a variety of molecular systems. The rate constant was found to depend upon the nature of the medium between the electron donor and acceptor moieties. Using a superexchange model to calculate the electronic coupling between donor and acceptor, the effect of orbital energetics was studied. For photoinduced electron transfer, aromatic moieties wit...

the present study is to study linear free energy relationships (lfers) for dechlorination ratesin cement/fe(ii) slurries of eight chlorinated hydrocarbons including carbon tetrachloride, chloroform produced from carbon tetrachloride, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, trichloroethylene produced from 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane, tetrachloroethylene, trichloroethylene, 1,1-dichloroethylene, and vinyl chloride,...

this is a report on the study of high melt flow, highly isotactic polypropylene homopolymer synthesized in liquid monomer using a fifth generation ziegler-natta catalytic system. at highest catalyst productivity, the response of thecatalyst to hydrogen as chain transfer is studied. melt flow rate is controlled by hydrogen as chain transfer from 0.4 to 300 g/10min with changing the amount of hyd...

Shewanella oneidensis strain MR-1 can respire using carbon electrodes and metal oxyhydroxides as electron acceptors, requiring mechanisms for transferring electrons from the cell interior to surfaces located beyond the cell. Although purified outer membrane cytochromes will reduce both electrodes and metals, S. oneidensis also secretes flavins, which accelerate electron transfer to metals and e...

choline oxidase (chox) was chosen as a model enzyme for evaluating the performance of cnts’ functional groups for development of enzyme electrodes. cnts were functionalized with carboxylic acid, amine or amide groups. carboxylic acid, amine and amide functionalized cnts were obtained by acid treatment, ethylenediamine or tetraethylenepentamine chemically modification and ammonia plasma treatmen...
