It is generally considered that the structure of an enzyme should be complementary to the structure of the transition state rather than to the substrates of products. By this means, the increase in binding energy as the reaction proceeds lowers the activation energy of the chemical step-the 'strain’ theory of catalysis.... On binding, the substrate is strained or distorted. In Haldane's words :"Using Fischer's lock and key smile, the key does not fit the lock perfectly but exercises a certain strain on it"... Nowadays, the modified concept of transition state stabilization is gaining favor. According to this idea, it is not that the substrate is distorted but rather that the transition state makes better contacts with the enzyme than the substrate does, so that the full binding energy is not realized until the transition state is reached. 2, record 2, English, - binding%20energy

Binding energy can, in theory, also be used to alter the energy levels of enzyme-bound reagents and so alter the equilibrium constants between enzyme-bound substrates, intermediates and products.... Protein engineering ... is eminently suited to studying and quantifying the role of binding energy in catalysis since side chains of the enzyme that interact with the substrate may be systematically modified to make small perturbations in the binding energy. 3, record 2, English, - binding%20energy

Au cours du processus de catalyse, [...] une combinaison enzyme-substrat [...] représente l'étape intermédiaire obligatoire. Ensuite, les profonds remaniements subis par cette combinaison conduisent à la libération des produits. C'est dire que la caractérisation des liaisons chimiques impliquées dans le processus doit être abordée dans une double perspective : d'une part les liaisons qui participeront à la reconnaissance du substrat par l'enzyme et à la constitution de la combinaison enzyme-substrat, et, d'autre part, les liaisons qui seront impliquées dans les mécanismes catalytiques proprement dits. Les énergies de liaison mises en œuvre sont en effet fondamentalement différentes selon qu'il s'agit de l'un ou l'autre cas. Dans le processus de reconnaissance, ces énergies se situent dans la gamme des 10 k.cal/mole : seules des «liaisons faibles» seront impliquées. Dans le mécanisme catalytique, les énergies mises en jeu sont de l'ordre de 100 k.cal./mole ou plus : des «liaisons fortes» seront impliquées. 2, record 2, French, - %C3%A9nergie%20de%20liaison

[A tie rod cylinder] is held together with four additional longitudinal rods, which extend the full length of the barrel and pass through holes in each corner of a square flange in the end caps of the cylinder. The ends of the rods are threaded and the whole assembly(cylinder barrel, ends, seats, etc.) is held together with lock washers and nuts. In some designs, instead of passing through holes in flanges in the ends of the cylinder, the tie rods are actually a long bolt. The threaded end of the bolts pass through a non-threaded hole in one cylinder end and screw into a tapped hole in the other. 2, record 3, English, - tie%20rod%20cylinder

The "Sun-Mar" three chamber system... The composting chamber. "Sun-Mar" engineers found that the ideal conditions for fast, odorless composting could only be provided in a rotating drum,(we call it the Bio-drum). The Bio-drum is uniquely able to keep the compost completely oxygenated, mixed, moist and warm, and so provide perfect conditions for fast, aerobic(and therefore odorless) composting. Waste enters the composting drum through an entry port located in the top of the Bio-drum. By turning the handle on the front of the unit, the drum rotates, and the compost tumbles,(assisted by a mixing baffle) thereby thoroughly and completely oxygenating and mixing every part of the compost. The Bio-drum is fitted with a door which closes automatically to keep the waste inside as the drum rotates. After turning, a lock automatically maintains the Bio-drum in a top dead centre position ready to receive new material. To ensure that the compost cannot get saturated, a screen at the rear of the drum filters any excess liquid directly into the evaporating chamber. At the same time, by protecting the compost from direct heat, the Bio-drum keeps the compost uniformly moist. Lastly, the Bio-drum has the volume to hold the necessary mass of material to retain the natural heat developed in the core of the compost. Insulation on the outside of the drum prevents heat loss. The warm, moist, oxygen rich conditions in the Bio-drum allow the microbes to quickly break down the waste into its essential minerals. When the drum gets 2/3 full, some compost is extracted into the finishing drawer. This is done simply by pulling the drum lock, and rotating the drum backwards. Now, the drum door remains open, and compost falls into the second chamber;-the compost finishing drawer. 1, record 6, English, - composting%20chamber

Le système à trois compartiments «Sun-Mar». [...] Le compartiment à compostage. Les ingénieurs «Sun-Mar» ont découvert que les conditions idéales d'une décomposition rapide et inodore ne peuvent être assurées que dans un tambour rotatif (que nous appelons tambour «Bio-drum»), dans lequel il est possible d'oxygéner et de mélanger le compost complètement et de le maintenir humide et chaud. Les déchets entrent dans la partie supérieure du Bio-drum. En tournant la manivelle du tambour, située sur le devant du cabinet, le compost culbute (action favorisée par la plaque de mélange). Ce culbutage permet l'oxygénation et le mélange complet de la matière à composter. Le tambour est muni d'une porte qui se ferme automatiquement pour retenir les déchets pendant la rotation du tambour. Par la suite, un verrou maintient automatiquement le tambour Bio-drum en position pour accepter d'autres déchets. Pour éviter la saturation du compost, une grille est située à l'arrière du tambour qui filtre et dirige vers l'aire d'évaporation tout liquide excédentaire. En protégeant le compost contre la chaleur directe, le Bio-drum maintient également un degré uniforme d'humidité. En dernier lieu, le Bio-drum peut contenir la masse nécessaire à conserver la chaleur naturelle développée au centre du compost. L'isolation à l'extérieur du tambour évite la perte de chaleur vers l'extérieur. Quand celui-ci est rempli aux 2/3, on transfère une partie du compost dans le tiroir de finition. À cette fin, il suffit de tirer le verrou du tambour et de tourner celui-ci dans le sens inverse des aiguilles d'une montre. Maintenant, la porte du tambour reste ouverte et le compost tombe dans le tiroir de finition. 1, record 6, French, - compartiment%20%C3%A0%20compostage
