STEADY-STATE CONCENTRATION [7 records]

English

Subject field(s)
  • Biological Sciences
DEF

Group of various enzymes involved in a chain of reactions.

CONT

In many multienzyme systems the end product of the reaction sequence may act as a specific inhibitor of an enzyme at or near the beginning of the sequence, with the result that the rate of the entire sequence of reactions is determined by the steady-state concentration of the end product. The classical example is the multienzyme sequence catalyzing the conversion of L-threonine to L-isoleucine, which occurs in five enzyme-catalyzed steps.

Les systèmes multienzymatiques accomplissent (...) des fonctions biologiques spécifiques au niveau de structures cellulaires définies et en particulier d'organelles comme les mitochondries et les chloroplastes, ou encore au niveau d'éléments du cytosquelette. Ces composants cellulaires sont isolables et leurs systèmes fonctionnent encore de manière satisfaisante, ce qui explique la détermination des biotechnologies de les utiliser à des fins de production, à l'état isolé comme au sein de cellules intactes.

Pollution Prevention Opportunity Evaluation. Waste-generating Process: Metal Finishing - Surface Preparation. Opportunity: Reduce Rinsewater Use; Use of Rinsewater as Chemical Solution Make-up. ... The use water for rinsing can be reduced by several methods: ... A still rinse tank, also known as "dead rinse," "stagnant rinse," and "recovery rinse," can be used ahead of flowing rinses to concentrate the drag out in one tank and to reduce the amount of chemicals discharged to the sewer. The dead rinsewater can be used as make-up chemical solution.

CONT

Installing an electrowinning unit on a stagnant rinse tank after a dragout recovery tank is the most common and costeffective application of electrowinning. To maintain a steady-state metal concentration in the stagnant rinse at or below the maximum contaminant concentration, the rate of metal deposition onto the electrowinning cathodes must be greater than or equal to the rate of dragin from the preceding tank. Thus, the metal deposition rate is an essential design parameter that ultimately affects the capacity, size and cost of the electrowinning unit.... Because metal and cyanide concentration in the stagnant rinse are lowered, subsequent rinses will be cleaner, allowing the flow rates in these rinses to be reduced or turned off. In many cases, rinse water flow is reduced to a rate equal to the evaporation rate from the stagnant rinse.

Transderm-V(scopolamine) transdermal therapeutic system is a circular flat unit designed for continuous release of scopolamine following application to an area of intact skin behind the ear... An initial priming dose of scopolamine, released from the adhesive layer of the system, saturates the skin binding sites for the drug and brings the plasma concentration to the required steady-state level. Subsequently, there is continuous controlled release of scopolamine, from the drug reservoir through the rate controlling membrane.

CONT

Although several methods can be used to estimate the effects of mass transfer to the immobilized enzyme carrier surface from the bulk liquid, the conditions encountered are not typical of those frequently encountered in other applications. Laminar liquid flow with a low-Reynolds number falling outside the range of many mass transfer correlations is normal for immobilized enzyme systems. The rate of mass transfer from the bulk solution to a surface can be written as... where km is the mass transfer coefficient(with units of cm/s), am is the surface area per unit volume(cm[ superscript-1]), Sb is the bulk phase substrate concentration, and Ss is the substrate concentration at the surface. Under steady-state conditions, this mass transfer rate must equal the reaction rate at the particle surface or the apparent rate within the particle.

Théorie qui ramène le transfert d'oxygène à une diffusion continue entre la bulle et le liquide, à travers un film unique de faible épaisseur, en régime stationnaire. L'application de la loi de FICK à un tel mécanisme de transfert, considéré par ailleurs comme unidirectionnel conduit à la formule suivante : [...] dans laquelle KL représente le coefficient de transfert de masse (cm/h) et est égal au rapport du coefficient de diffusion de l'oxygène dans l'eau à l'épaisseur du film au travers duquel s'effectue le transfert. C[astérisque] correspond à la concentration en oxygène dissous en équilibre avec le gaz de la bulle. La même théorie s'applique à la diffusion du substrat entre une phase solide pour laquelle est fixée une enzyme immobilisée.

Attained fraction of steady state : According to the plateau principle, any fraction of the steady-state concentration depends only on Kt and, therefore, the time to reach this fraction depends only on the elimination rate constant, K. The principle applies to all shifts from one steady state to another.

La montée progressive des taux sanguins à partir des valeurs initiales (première prise) jusqu'aux valeurs atteintes à l'état stationnaire s'appelle la cumulation.
