The kinetics of the Ca(2+)-ATPase purified from sarcoplasmic reticulum have been studied after reconstitution into bilayers of dimyristoleoylphosphatidylcholine [di(C14:1)PC], dioleoylphosphatidylcholine[di(C18:1)PC] and dinervonylphosphatidylcholine [di(C24:1)PC]. In di(C24:1)PC the rate of phosphorylation of the ATPase by ATP was comparable with that in di(C18:1)PC (about 70 s-1), but in di(C14:1)PC the rate was much lower (21 s-1). Fluorescence responses of the ATPase suggest changes in the phosphoryl-transfer step rather than in the preceding conformational change E1Ca2ATP<-->E1′Ca2ATP. The rate of dephosphorylation of the phosphorylated ATPase was found to decrease in the order di(C24:1)PC < di(C14:1)PC < di(C18:1)PC. For the ATPase in di(C24:1)PC the rate of dephosphorylation (3.3 s-1) was slow enough to be the rate-limiting step for ATP hydrolysis; in di(C14:1)PC, it is suggested that both phosphorylation and dephosphorylation contribute to rate limitation. Phosphorylation of the ATPase in di(C24:1)PC by Pi was normal, but no phosphoenzyme could be detected in di(C14:1)PC. The rate of the Ca(2+)-transport step was normal in di(C24:1)PC, suggesting that the single Ca2+ ion bound to the ATPase in di(C24:1)PC could be transported.

Kinetics of formation of 2-imino-4-thiazolidone from S-ethoxycarbonylmethylisothiouronium chloride has been studied in aqueous buffers and dilute hydrochloric acid. The reaction is subject to general base catalysis, the β value being 0.65. Its rate limiting step consists in acid-catalyzed splitting off of ethoxide ion from dipolar tetrahedral intermediate. At pH < 2 formation of this intermediate becomes rate-limiting; rate constant of its formation is 2 . 104 s-1.

The cyclization kinetics of N-(2-methylcarbonylphenyl)-N’-methylsulfonamide (IIb) into 3-methyl-(1H)-2,1,3-benzothiadiazin-4(3H)-one 2,2-dioxide (Ib) has been studied in ethanolamine, morpholine, and butylamine buffers and in potassium hydroxide solution. The cyclization is subject to general base and general acid catalysis. The value of the Bronsted coefficient β is about 0.1, which indicates that splitting off of the proton from negatively charged tetrahedral intermediate represents the rate-limiting and thermodynamically favourable step. In the solutions of potassium hydroxide the cyclization of dianion of the starting ester IIb probably becomes the rate-limiting step.

This report is part of a continued effort to evaluate the in vitro osteoblast responses on different phospholipid coatings on Titanium (Ti) implant materials. It has been established that, among analogous phopholipids, the Ti surfaces coated with calcium phosphate (CaP) complex of phosphatidylserine induce the best calcium deposition and osteoblast growth and metabolism. This communication describes an effort to optimize the chemical structure of phosphatidylserine at its position−1 and −2, as Ti surface coating relative to enhancement in osteoblast differentiation and growth in culture. Four synthetic phosphatidylserine analogs with varying fatty acyl chain length and unsaturation were converted to CaP complex, coated on Ti discs, and the osteoblast progenitor cells were cultured on them for up to 14 days to study their differentiation, growth and biochemistry as marked by the expression of alkaline phosphatase specific activity and protein production. In a separate experiment, the topography of the glass surface (glass Petri-dishes) coated the analogous phosphatidylserines, after immersion in simulated body fluid, was examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The presence of calcium and phosphate ions in this deposit was also confirmed. The inclusion of unsaturation in fatty acyl chain in phosphatidylserine enhanced the Total protein production (TPP) as well as the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) specific activity.
