Study of Proton-transfer reactions (CAT#: STEM-AC-0058-WXH)

Introduction

Proton transfer is a reaction or reaction mechanism step in which a proton ("H+") is removed from one species (the acid) and accepted by another species (the base).
Proton transfer is arguably the most important and common chemical reaction governing biochemical processes, including ion channel function, enzymatic reactions.

Principle

The temperature jump method is a technique used in chemical kinetics for the measurement of very rapid reaction rates.
The T-Jump technique provides a means to follow fast reactions with half-lives of just a few microseconds. The reaction volume is prepared so that it is in equilibrium and then rapidly perturbed by a rapid change in temperature. There is a new equilibrium constant at the higher temperature, but the initial concentrations are balanced for the lower temperature. The system therefore relaxes and the reaction proceeds until the concentrations have reached their new equilibrium values.
