Kinetic Monte Carlo modeling was employed to investigate the kinetics and photodecomposition mechanism of sulfamethazine, ciprofloxacin, sulfathiazole, amoxicillin antibiotics by photo-Fenton process (iron(III) citrate/hydrogen peroxide in presence UV irradiation). The reaction kinetic mechanisms each degradation mentioned above have been achieved. rate constants values for step (including anti...

We consider a dynamical approach to the cosmological constant. There is a scalar field with a potential whose minimum occurs at a generic, but negative, value for the vacuum energy, and it has a non-standard kinetic term whose coefficient diverges at zero curvature as well as the standard kinetic term. Because of the divergent coefficient of the kinetic term, the lowest energy state is never ac...

All the quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR) which so far have been practically observed can be simple interpreted within the framework of kinetic formalism. Based on the assumption that the drug action can be modeled by the steady-state kinetic scheme which includes only reactions of the f'trst order, and the rate constants of all the elementary reactions can be formally descri...

The substrate depletion approach is an increasingly popular alternative to the traditional method (observing product formation) of determining the kinetic parameters (KM and Vmax) of an enzyme. Obach and Reed-Hagen (Drug Metab Dispos 30:831-837, 2002) used an empirical relationship between substrate depletion rate constants and initial substrate concentration to determine kinetic parameters for...

Kinetic study for different start up conditions of the anaerobic digestion of wastewater derived from the sago processing from tubers of tapioca (Mannihot utillisema) is discussed. The experiment is carried out with synthetic waste water using a tapered fluidized bed reactor. Mesoporous granulated activated carbon is used as a bacterial support. The kinetic model follows half order kinetics for...

Many biotechnological applications use protein receptors immobilized on solid supports. Although, in solution, these receptors display homogeneous binding affinities and association/dissociation kinetics for their complementary ligand, they often display heterogeneous binding characteristics after immobilization. In this study, a fluorescence-based fiber-optic biosensor was used to quantify the...

A kinetic cluster method enables us to analyze biopolymer folding kinetics with discrete rate-limiting steps by classifying biopolymer conformations into pre-equilibrated clusters. The overall folding kinetics is determined by the intercluster transitions. Due to the complex energy landscapes of biopolymers, the intercluster transitions have multiple pathways and can have kinetic intermediates ...

Reverse transcriptase from the simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) was found to have kinetic behavior similar to that of enzyme from the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Michaelis constants for the substrates TTP and dGTP and inhibition constants for the inhibitors 3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine 5'-triphosphate, 2',3'-dideoxythymidine 5'-triphosphate, and 2'-3'-dideoxyguanosine 5'-triphosphate w...
