A parameterization of the classical molecular interaction models is carried out by using quan- tum chemical calculations and subsequent fitting to experimental vapor pressure and saturated liquid density data. To validate the molecular models, vapor-liquid equilibria for the pure hydrazines and binary hydrazine mixtures with Water and Ammonia are calculated and compared with the available experimen- tal data. In addition, the Henry’s law constant for the physical solubility of Argon, Nitrogen and Carbon Monoxide in liquid Hydrazine, Monomethylhydrazine and Dimethylhydrazine is computed. In general, the simulation results are in very good agreement with the experimental data. ∗ corresponding author, tel.: +49-5251/60-2421, fax: +49-5251/60-3522, email: [email protected] 1 1 Introduction On October 24, 1960, the greatest disaster in the history of rocketry, now also known as Nedelin disaster, occurred [1–3].

  • Why Nature Chose Selenium Hans J
    Reviews pubs.acs.org/acschemicalbiology Why Nature Chose Selenium Hans J. Reich*, ‡ and Robert J. Hondal*,† † University of Vermont, Department of Biochemistry, 89 Beaumont Ave, Given Laboratory, Room B413, Burlington, Vermont 05405, United States ‡ University of WisconsinMadison, Department of Chemistry, 1101 University Avenue, Madison, Wisconsin 53706, United States ABSTRACT: The authors were asked by the Editors of ACS Chemical Biology to write an article titled “Why Nature Chose Selenium” for the occasion of the upcoming bicentennial of the discovery of selenium by the Swedish chemist Jöns Jacob Berzelius in 1817 and styled after the famous work of Frank Westheimer on the biological chemistry of phosphate [Westheimer, F. H. (1987) Why Nature Chose Phosphates, Science 235, 1173−1178]. This work gives a history of the important discoveries of the biological processes that selenium participates in, and a point-by-point comparison of the chemistry of selenium with the atom it replaces in biology, sulfur. This analysis shows that redox chemistry is the largest chemical difference between the two chalcogens. This difference is very large for both one-electron and two-electron redox reactions. Much of this difference is due to the inability of selenium to form π bonds of all types. The outer valence electrons of selenium are also more loosely held than those of sulfur. As a result, selenium is a better nucleophile and will react with reactive oxygen species faster than sulfur, but the resulting lack of π-bond character in the Se−O bond means that the Se-oxide can be much more readily reduced in comparison to S-oxides.

  • Biological Chemistry of Hydrogen Selenide
    antioxidants Review Biological Chemistry of Hydrogen Selenide Kellye A. Cupp-Sutton † and Michael T. Ashby *,† Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of Oklahoma, Norman, OK 73019, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-405-325-2924 † These authors contributed equally to this work. Academic Editors: Claus Jacob and Gregory Ian Giles Received: 18 October 2016; Accepted: 8 November 2016; Published: 22 November 2016 Abstract: There are no two main-group elements that exhibit more similar physical and chemical properties than sulfur and selenium. Nonetheless, Nature has deemed both essential for life and has found a way to exploit the subtle unique properties of selenium to include it in biochemistry despite its congener sulfur being 10,000 times more abundant. Selenium is more easily oxidized and it is kinetically more labile, so all selenium compounds could be considered to be “Reactive Selenium Compounds” relative to their sulfur analogues. What is furthermore remarkable is that one of the most reactive forms of selenium, hydrogen selenide (HSe− at physiologic pH), is proposed to be the starting point for the biosynthesis of selenium-containing molecules. This review contrasts the chemical properties of sulfur and selenium and critically assesses the role of hydrogen selenide in biological chemistry. Keywords: biological reactive selenium species; hydrogen selenide; selenocysteine; selenomethionine; selenosugars; selenophosphate; selenocyanate; selenophosphate synthetase thioredoxin reductase 1. Overview of Chalcogens in Biology Chalcogens are the chemical elements in group 16 of the periodic table. This group, which is also known as the oxygen family, consists of the elements oxygen (O), sulfur (S), selenium (Se), tellurium (Te), and the radioactive element polonium (Po).
