Cryopreservation is a critical procedure in autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) the cryoprotectant of choice. Optimization cryopreservation protocol past revealed dramatic loss viability associated with reduction DMSO concentration below 2 vol % freezing medium. The cryoprotective mechanism usually ascribed to ability suppress ice formation and reduce adverse effects freeze-concentrated solution. This work proposes an alternative hypothesis...
The kinetics of iodide ions oxidation with hydrogen peroxide in solutions perchloric acid at temperature 60 °C has been studied detail. We have found conditions under which this reaction proceeds oscillatory.

An elegantly simple and probably ancient molecular mechanism of allostery is described for the Escherichia coli arginine repressor ArgR, master feedback regulator transcription in L-arginine metabolism. Molecular dynamics simulations with ArgRC, hexameric domain that binds negative cooperativity, reveal conserved aspartate residues each ligand-binding pocket promote rotational oscillation apoArgRC trimers by engagement release hydrogen-bonded salt bridges.

The oxidation of iodine with hydrogen peroxide was studied spectrophotometrically and potentiometrically. At low concentrations HClO 4 , after induction period (IP), the concentration decreases sigmoidally IP decreasing surface area solution interphase. We assume that • OH radicals are produced via iodide H 2 O and, by their subsequent reaction HO formed. By disproportionation, ↔ + 1 very reactive singlet oxygen is can start. described experimental results consistent Noyes-Treindl mechanism.

The reduction of ferriin ([Fe(phen) 3 ] 3+ , phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) by malonic acid (MA) differs from the Ce(IV) or Mn(III) ions MA in its autocatalytic character and a pregnant influence oxygen, which behaves obviously as catalyst. time dependence ferroin-ferriin redox potential at last stage this reaction has sigmoidal shape, indicates autocatalysis. Under anaerobic conditions, inflection is order several tens minutes, since autocatalysis cannot proceed unless sufficient amount oxygen...
Hexameric arginine repressor, ArgR, is the feedback regulator of bacterial L-arginine regulons, and sensor L-arg that controls transcription genes for its synthesis catabolism. Although ArgR function, as well secondary, tertiary, quaternary structures, essentially same in E. coli B. subtilis, two proteins differ significantly sequence, including residues implicated response to L-arg. Molecular dynamics simulations are used here evaluate behavior intact subtilis with without L-arg, compared...

Permanganate chemical oscillators with 1,3-cyclopentanedione, 1,3-cyclohexanedione and dimedone (5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione) in a CSTR (continuous-flow, stirred tank reactor) are described. The oscillatory systems under study remarkable that the oscillations well developed, but no kinetic bistability has been found. Presumably, may not be pre-requisite for to occur.
The influence of the MoO42- ions on Bray−Liebhafsky (BL) oscillatory reaction is described. affect values parameters BL reaction; first all, they decrease induction period and duration oscillations, but increase average frequency oscillations. A qualitative explanation this based Treindl−Noyes skeleton mechanism reaction. production singlet oxygen (1O2) by disproportionation hydrogen peroxide catalyzed molybdate ions, which obviously quenched physically and/or chemically, may play a role too.
