CONT

Nanocatalysis is one of the most exciting subfields to have emerged from nanoscience. Its central aim is the control of chemical reactions by changing the size, dimensionality, chemical composition and morphology of the reaction center and by changing the kinetics using nanopatterning of the reaction centers. This approach opens up new avenues for atom-by-atom design of nanocatalysts with distinct and tunable chemical activity, specificity, and selectivity.

Key term(s)
  • nano-catalysis

French

Domaine(s)
  • Génie chimique
  • Physique atomique
CONT

La nanocatalyse est un domaine des nanosciences très actif. Son principal objectif est de contrôler les réactions chimiques en faisant varier la dimensionnalité, la composition, la taille et la morphologie des centres réactifs. L'approche des sciences des surfaces est la compréhension des processus catalytiques à l'échelle atomique et moléculaire, pour cela de nouveaux outils ont été développés, permettant de suivre les surfaces de catalyseurs modèles pendant la réaction elle-même.

CONT

Los estudios en nanocátalisis han revelado que las propiedades catalíticas de partículas pequeñas dependen de sus tamaños e imperfecciones. Se está tratando de comprender la base de estos efectos para controlarlos y preparar catalizadores que, mediante transformaciones fisicoquímicas, sean eficientes y selectivos.

Record 5 2010-12-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Biological Sciences
DEF

Method based on the covalent attachment of enzymes to water insoluble matrices. It is the most widespread and one of the most investigated approaches to enzyme immobilisation. The selection of conditions for immobilization is more difficult than in the cases of the other carrier binding methods described, and frequently involves more complicated and less mild conditions than the other methods, but, since covalent bonds are being formed, stable immobilized enzyme preparations which do not leach enzyme into solution in the presence of substrate or high ionic concentration solutions are formed in almost all cases. The immobilization of an enzyme by covalent attachment to a support matrix must involve only functional groups of the enzyme that are not essential for catalytic action, and therefore no reagents must be used which could affect the binding and active sites of the enzyme.

CONT

The reaction conditions required for covalent binding are relatively complicated and not particularly mild. Therefore, in some cases, covalent binding alters the conformational structure and active center of the enzyme, resulting in major loss of activity and/or changes of substrate specificity.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sciences biologiques
DEF

Technique largement employée dans le cas des enzymes qui met en jeu une réaction chimique créant une liaison irréversible entre la molécule enzymatique et les groupes réactifs du support. A ce type de liaison se surajoutent toujours des phénomènes d'adsorption électrostatique qui consolident la fixation.

CONT

L'enzyme fixée à un support soluble ou insoluble peut très facilement être récupérée en fin de réaction et être réemployé plusieurs fois et même fonctionner en continu dans des réacteurs. Il existe trois grands types d'immobilisation des enzymes : l'inclusion, l'adsorption et la fixation par liaison covalente.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Biological Sciences
CONT

In recent years studies of enzyme conformational changes have become highly sophisticated. By a variety of physical techniques they have revealed the great complexity of response of enzymes to small molecules.... One method uses ultrasonics to study the pH induced conformational transition in the active centers of the enzymes. The method utilizes the observation that ultrasonic cavitation produces hydroxyl and hydroperoxyl free radicals in water solution. Penetration of these radicals into the enzyme active center results in enzyme inactivation due to destruction of certain functional groups important for the catalytic activity, typically tryptophan residues.... Thus, a kinetic study of the enzyme ultrasonic inactivation allows us to determine the parameters associated with the conformational changes in the enzyme active center.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sciences biologiques
CONT

La conformation du centre actif n'est pas rigide. Elle a une flexibilité importante. L'association du substrat au centre actif induit très régulièrement un changement de conformation qui aboutit à un ajustement induit de la structure du centre actif. Les chaînes latérales qui participent au fonctionnement du centre actif, soit au centre de spécificité, soit dans la partie catalytique du centre actif, changent de position au cours de la fixation du substrat pour former le complexe enzyme-substrat, mais très souvent aussi au cours de la transformation catalytique du complexe pour former les produits de réaction.
