In homogeneous catalysis, the catalyst is in the same phase as the reactant. The number of collisions between reactants and catalyst is at a maximum.In a patent, 2926-30-9, name is Sodium trifluoromethanesulfonate, introducing its new discovery. Computed Properties of CF3NaO3S
The activity of the non-heme iron enzyme nitrile hydratase (Fe-NHase) is modulated by nitric oxide (NO). The inactive (dark form) NO-bound enzyme is activated when exposed to light via the release of NO from the iron center. In order to determine whether oxygenation of active site Fe-bound Cys-S centers are involved in this process of NO regulation, a model complex (Et 4N)[(Cl2PhPepS)Fe(NO)(DMAP)] (8) has been synthesized and structurally characterized. Complex 8 does not exhibit any NO photolability. However, following oxygenation of the Fe-bound thiolato-S centers to sulfinates (with the aid of oxaziridine), the resulting complex (Et4N)[(Cl2PhPep{SO 2}2)- Fe(NO)(DMAP)] (9) releases NO readily upon illumination with visible light. Spectroscopic properties of 8 and 9 confirm that these species do mimic the active site of Fe-NHase closely, and the results indicate that NO photolability is related to S-oxygenation. Results of density functional theory and time-dependent DFT studies on both 8 and 9 indicate that S-oxygenation weakens Fe-S bonding and that strong transitions near 470 nm transfer an electron from a carboxamido-N/sulfinato-SO2MO to a dp(Fe)-p (NO)/dz2(Fe)-s (NO) antibonding orbital in 9. In case of 8, strong S-Fe-NO bonding interactions prevent the release of NO upon illumination. Together, the results of this work strongly suggest that oxygenated Cys-S centers play an important role in the process of NO regulation of Fe-NHases.
The proportionality constant is the rate constant for the particular unimolecular reaction. the reaction rate is directly proportional to the concentration of the reactant. I hope my blog about 2926-30-9 is helpful to your research. Computed Properties of CF3NaO3S
