  • Prebiological Evolution and the Metabolic Origins of Life
    Prebiological Evolution and the Andrew J. Pratt* Metabolic Origins of Life University of Canterbury Keywords Abiogenesis, origin of life, metabolism, hydrothermal, iron Abstract The chemoton model of cells posits three subsystems: metabolism, compartmentalization, and information. A specific model for the prebiological evolution of a reproducing system with rudimentary versions of these three interdependent subsystems is presented. This is based on the initial emergence and reproduction of autocatalytic networks in hydrothermal microcompartments containing iron sulfide. The driving force for life was catalysis of the dissipation of the intrinsic redox gradient of the planet. The codependence of life on iron and phosphate provides chemical constraints on the ordering of prebiological evolution. The initial protometabolism was based on positive feedback loops associated with in situ carbon fixation in which the initial protometabolites modified the catalytic capacity and mobility of metal-based catalysts, especially iron-sulfur centers. A number of selection mechanisms, including catalytic efficiency and specificity, hydrolytic stability, and selective solubilization, are proposed as key determinants for autocatalytic reproduction exploited in protometabolic evolution. This evolutionary process led from autocatalytic networks within preexisting compartments to discrete, reproducing, mobile vesicular protocells with the capacity to use soluble sugar phosphates and hence the opportunity to develop nucleic acids. Fidelity of information transfer in the reproduction of these increasingly complex autocatalytic networks is a key selection pressure in prebiological evolution that eventually leads to the selection of nucleic acids as a digital information subsystem and hence the emergence of fully functional chemotons capable of Darwinian evolution. 1 Introduction: Chemoton Subsystems and Evolutionary Pathways Living cells are autocatalytic entities that harness redox energy via the selective catalysis of biochemical transformations.

  • Production of Dialdehyde Cellulose and Periodate Regeneration: Towards Feasible Oxidation Processes
    Production of Dialdehyde Cellulose and Periodate Regeneration: Towards feasible oxidation processes Produktion av dialdehydcellulosa och återgenerering av perjodat: Mot möjliga oxidationsprocesser Elisabeth Höglund Department of Engineering and Chemical Sciences Chemistry 30 hp Supervisors: Susanne Hansson, Stora Enso & Gunilla Carlsson, Karlstad University Examinator: Thomas Nilsson 2015-09-25 ABSTRACT Cellulose is an attractive raw material that has lately become more interesting thanks to its degradability and renewability and the environmental awareness of our society. With the intention to find new material properties and applications, studies on cellulose derivatization have increased. Dialdehyde cellulose (DAC) is a derivative that is produced by selective cleavage of the C2-C3 bond in an anhydroglucose unit in the cellulose chain, utilizing sodium periodate (NaIO4) that works as a strong oxidant. At a fixed temperature, the reaction time as well as the amount of added periodate affect the resulting aldehyde content. DAC has shown to have promising properties, and by disintegrating the dialdehyde fibers into fibrils, thin films with extraordinary oxygen barrier at high humidity can be achieved. Normally, barrier properties of polysccharide films deteriorate at higher humidity due to their hygroscopic character. This DAC barrier could therefore be a potential environmentally-friendly replacement for aluminum which is utilized in many food packages today. The aim of this study was to investigate the possibilities to produce dialdehyde cellulose at an industrial level, where the regeneration of consumed periodate plays a significant role to obtain a feasible process. A screening of the periodate oxidation of cellulose containing seven experiments was conducted by employing the program MODDE for experimental design.

  • Chapter 10 – Chemical Reactions Notes
    Chapter 8 – Chemical Reactions Notes Chemical Reactions: Chemical reactions are processes in which the atoms of one or more substances are rearranged to form different chemical compounds. How to tell if a chemical reaction has occurred (recap): Temperature changes that can’t be accounted for. o Exothermic reactions give off energy (as in fire). o Endothermic reactions absorb energy (as in a cold pack). Spontaneous color change. o This happens when things rust, when they rot, and when they burn. Appearance of a solid when two liquids are mixed. o This solid is called a precipitate. Formation of a gas / bubbling, as when vinegar and baking soda are mixed. Overall, the most important thing to remember is that a chemical reaction produces a whole new chemical compound. Just changing the way that something looks (breaking, melting, dissolving, etc) isn’t enough to qualify something as a chemical reaction! Balancing Equations Notes: Things to keep in mind when looking at the recipes for chemical reactions: 1) The stuff before the arrow is referred to as the “reactants” or “reagents”, and the stuff after the arrow is called the “products.” 2) The number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the arrow. Even though there may be different numbers of molecules, the number of atoms of each element needs to remain the same to obey the law of conservation of mass. 3) The numbers in front of the formulas tell you how many molecules or moles of each chemical are involved in the reaction. 4) Equations are nothing more than chemical recipes.

  • NACE Bromine Chemistry Review Paper
    25 YEARS OF BROMINE CHEMISTRY IN INDUSTRIAL WATER SYSTEMS: A REVIEW Christopher J. Nalepa Albemarle Corporation P.O. Box 14799 Baton Rouge, LA 70898 ABSTRACT Bromine chemistry is used to great advantage in nature for fouling control by a number of sessile marine organisms such as sponges, seaweeds, and bryozoans. Such organisms produce small quantities of brominated organic compounds that effectively help keep their surfaces clean of problem bacteria, fungi, and algae. For over two decades, bromine chemistry has been used to similar advantage in the treatment of industrial water systems. The past several years in particular has seen the development of several diverse bromine product forms – one-drum stabilized bromine liquids, all-bromine hydantoin solids, and pumpable gels. The purpose of this paper is to review the development of bromine chemistry in industrial water treatment, discuss characteristics of the new product forms, and speculate on future developments. Keywords: Oxidizing biocide, bleach, bromine, bromine chemistry, sodium hypobromite, activated sodium bromide, Bromochlorodimethylhydantoin, Bromochloromethyethylhydantoin, Dibromodi- methylhydantoin,, BCDMH, BCMEH, DBDMH, stabilized bromine chloride, stabilized hypobromite INTRODUCTION Sessile marine organisms generate metabolites to ward off predators and deter attachment of potential micro- and macrofoulants. Sponges, algae, and bryozoans for example, produce a rich variety of bromine-containing compounds that exhibit antifoulant properties (Fig. 1).1,2,3 Scientists are actively studying these organisms to understand how they maintain surfaces that are relatively clean and slime- free.4 Brominated furanones isolated from the red algae Delisea pulchra, for example, have been found to interfere with the chemical signals (acylated homoserine lactones) that bacteria use to communicate with one another to produce biofilms.5,6 This work may eventually lead to more effective control of microorganisms in a number of industries such as industrial water treatment, oil and gas production, health care, etc.
