T. Heinze et. al. reported the synthesis of new 6-deoxy-6-pheylethylamino cellulose derivatives with DSamino 0.4-0.6 by nucleophilic displacement of cellulose tosylates (DSTos 0.74 and 1.29) with a racemic mixture of 1-phenylethylamine under homogeneous conditions, in DMF/H2O82, scheme 30. The optical properties of these deoxyamino cellulose derivatives was studied. A regioselective synthesis of 6-amino-6-deoxycellulose, 6-N-sulfonated, and 6-N-carboxymethylated deoxycellulose were described by C. Liu et. al, by replacement of the C-6 tosyl groups by azide groups, that were reduced by (LiAlH4) to the corresponding amino group. The amino functionalized cellulose underwent further sulfonation, and carboxylation, scheme 3183. Novel …show more content…
al. prepared new aminocellulose derivatives by nucleophilic substitution reaction with ethylenediamine (EDA) and selected oligoamines starting from 6(2)-O-tosylcellulose (DSTos= 0.8 that reacted with (EDA), (DETA), (DPTA), (TETA). All the synthesized aminocellulose tosylates were soluble in water, and their transparent films formed complexes with Cu2+ ions, and used to immobilize glucose oxidase enzyme86, scheme 34. Liu et al. studied the effect of temperature and solvent on the nucleophilic substitution reactions of tosyl cellulose by butylamine and pyridine. The reactions were conducted at different temperatures (25, 50, 75 and 100 oC). The highest regioselective substitution at C-6 was achieved at 25 and 50 oC. While the substitution at C-2 occurred at the higher temperature and the rate of substitution in neat butylamine is higher than that in the presence of DMSO. The substitution of tosyl group by pyridine on C-6 only proceeded by boiling in pyridine at 100 oC for 90 h, and on C2 at 145 oC, scheme …show more content…
Then the nanoparticles with narrow size distribution and diameter of 76, 111 and 176 nm were formulated by the dialysis method. The nanoparticles were labeled through covalent attachment to rhodamine dye for in vitro cellular uptrake studies. The safety toxic profile, stability and the enhanced cellular uptake of the particles by various cell lines made them suitable material for bio-medical applications, scheme 3991. P. H. Elchinger et al. successfully cross-linked starch with cellulose. Where Azide cellulose prepared from tosyl cellulose was cross-linked with propargyl starch using Cu(I) as a catalyst, scheme 4092. The benzoxazine-modified cellulose polymer was obtained by grafting benzooxazine to tosyl cellulose. The new cellulosic polymer is characterized by its resistance to flame compared to the pure cellulose fiber, scheme 4193. Aiming to develop a highly cost-effective colorimetric assay for pathogenic DNA detection, D. Saikrishnan et al. were able to immobilize sulfhydryl-modified oligonucleotide probes complementary to a segment of pathogenic bacterial DNA sequence IS6110 from Mycobacterium tuberculosis on the surface of tosyl

    Discussion In this study, the Catechol enzyme was studied under the conditions of varying pH, temperature, substrate concentration, and enzyme concentration. In Figure 1, the data suggested that the trend was neither directly nor inversely proportional, but the highest activity rate was at 24°C. Most enzymes denatured at higher temperatures of approximately 40°C, which led to the inability to see any color change (Helms et al., 1998). At lower temperatures, the enzyme was somewhat efficient because molecules move slower at lower temperatures, so enzymes lost productivity.…

    The purpose of conducting this experiment was to explore how different factors affect the reaction rate of enzymes reacting with their corresponding substrates in order to learn more about how enzymes function in different environments. The independent variables investigated in this experiment were the concentration of different substrates, the temperature of the environment, and the effect of a catalyst on the reaction rate. The dependent variable for all of the investigations was the time it took for the reaction to occur. To investigate the effect of the concentration of the substrate on the reaction time, four test tubes were used.…

    The experiment conducted was to observe the enzyme catalysis of Horseradish Peroxidase with different determining factors. In this experiment the horseradish peroxidase enzyme should have an optimal temperature of 35°C, should have an optimal pH of 6, and should catalyze rapidly with the substrate and enzyme concentration. We were able to observe that the enzyme reacts best with its optimal temperature of 35° C and optimal pH of 6. Moreover, when there’s a high the substrate concentration and a high enzyme concentration we can observe a rapid enzyme catalysis. The hypothesis was partially falsified for the optimal pH and the optimal temperature were both different than that stated in the hypothesis.…

    Discussion Enzymes are biological catalysts that help speed chemical reactions. In part A (table 2), it was seen that a normal reaction of catalase and hydrogen peroxide resulted in the release of bubbles (oxygen gas) and the release of energy in the form of heat which shows that the reaction was a exothermic reaction. The reaction was given a reaction rate of four and acted as the control with which we could compare the other results to. When testing whether or not catalase is reusable in part B (table 3), the results show that it is reusable as it reacted more than once. This matches our hypothesis as the enzyme should remain unchanged after the reaction and be able to react again afterwards.…

    The results obtained from the experiment and as illustrated above clearly show that an increase in the volume of O2 produced is accompanied by an increase of catalase concentration; though the lower concentrations suffer from slight inconsistencies. This leads to the conclusion that the more enzymes available, the larger and faster the reaction. The data obtained is in agreement with the hypothesis. The hypothesis stated that the rate of reaction and amount of product produced will augment with the increased concentration of the catalase.…
