Example sentencesExamples
- The bimolecular rate constants for these reactions are of several orders of magnitude less than diffusion controlled.
- Specific bimolecular interactions are central to virtually all biological processes.
- The rate of a reaction with a bimolecular rate law depends on the concentration of two species or the square of the concentration of one species.
- A simple bimolecular one-step kinetic model is used for estimating the upper bound of the number of ROS that are generated in the skin and that react with DHR.
- The reactive collision of more than two molecules at the exact time is unlikely and can be represented as the sequence of bimolecular collisions.
- On a theoretical point of view, the understanding of enzyme reactions is hardly reducible to elementary bimolecular reactions.
- An initial exponential decay of current corresponds to the inactivation of monomer channel conductance and a longer time scale quasi-steady-state represents the diffusion of ions to a bimolecular surface reaction.
- Understanding the molecular mechanisms of unimolecular and bimolecular misfolding may lead to advances in biomedicine and in protein production improvements.
- We were able to eliminate this heterogeneity in our samples to obtain a simpler two-phase form for the bimolecular kinetics.
- The rate of formation of triple helices is slow with bimolecular rate constants of 5.6 × 10 and 8.1 × 10 min - 1 M - 1.
- The Stern-Volmer plot of these solutions is linear, and the bimolecular reaction rate constant agrees with previous observations.
- We are aware that a palindromic circle (as well as a direct repeat circle) could form by a bimolecular reaction.
- Initial contact will be through a conventional bimolecular binding and occur at a rate proportional to the concentration of freely diffusing molecules.
- In this case the precursors are mixed just before entering the deposition chamber and the heat of the chamber encourages a gas phase bimolecular reaction.
- At the high concentrations used in this experiment, it is expected that very small signals would be observed from the bimolecular formation of the encounter complex.
- We expect that our cell will be useful for observing the pressure dependence of bimolecular interactions on the single molecule level.
- The bimolecular quenching rate constants are less than that of diffusion controlled and decrease as the one-electron reduction potential of the donor radical increases.
- Preceding any associative protein-protein reaction, an initial diffusional encounter is required, which may limit or at least partially influence the bimolecular rate constant.
- The binding of particles to filaments is a simple bimolecular reaction, for which the binding rate is a product of the concentrations of free particle and free binding sites and nonlinear in the above sense.
- Basic assumptions were that all elementary reactions in the pathway were bimolecular and that the reacting species were distributed homogeneously.
- It is known to strongly influence the kinetics of diffusion-controlled bimolecular reactions in liquids.
