The kinetic behaviour and relative reactivities of some carbohydrates (aldoses, amino sugars and methylated sugars) towards platinum(IV) in alkaline medium have been investigated. The reactions are first order with respect to [substrate] and PtIV. The rates increase with the increase in OH-. The reactions show pseudo-first-order dependence on OH-. The oxidation rates in alkaline medium follow the order triose>tetrose>pentose>hexose. Activation parameters of the reactions have been calculated. Mechanisms have been proposed for the reactions.

Aldonic acids are receiving increased interest due to their applications in nanotechnology, food, pharmaceutical and chemical industries. Microbes with aldose-oxidizing activity, rather than purified enzymes, are used for commercial production with limited success. Thus it is still very important to develop new processes using strains with more efficient and novel biocatalytic activities for the production of adonic acids. In the present study, Pseudomonas fragi TCCC11892 was found to be an efficient producer of aldonic acids, with the production of galactonic and l-rhamnonic acid by P. fragi reported for the first time. The semi-continuous production of maltobionic acid and lactobionic acid was developed for P. fragi TCCC11892, achieving a yield of over 90 g L?1 for the first 7 cycles. The excellent performance of P. fragi in the production of lactobionic acid (119 g L?1) was also observed when using waste cheese whey as an inexpensive fermentation medium. Scaling up of the above process for production of aldonic acids with P. fragi TCCC11892 cells should facilitate their commercial applications.

Electrochemistry (EC) combined with mass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful tool for elucidation of electrochemical reaction mechanisms. However, direct online analysis of electrochemical reaction in aqueous phase was rarely explored. This paper presents the online investigation of several electrochemical reactions with biological relevance in the aqueous phase, such as nitrosothiol reduction, carbohydrate oxidation, and carbamazepine oxidation using desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (DESI-MS). It was found that electroreduction of nitrosothiols [e.g.; nitrosylated insulin B (13-23)] leads to free thiols by loss of NO, as confirmed by online MS analysis for the first time. The characteristic mass shift of 29 Da and the reduced intensity provide a quick way to identify nitrosylated species. Equally importantly, upon collision-induced dissociation (CID), the reduced peptide ion produces more fragment ions than its nitrosylated precursor ion (presumably the backbone fragmentation cannot compete with the facile NO loss for the precursor ion), thus facilitating peptide sequencing. In the case of saccharide oxidation, it was found that glucose undergoes electro-oxidation to produce gluconic acid at alkaline pH, but not at neutral and acidic pHs. Such a pH-dependent electrochemical behavior was also observed for disaccharides such as maltose and cellobiose. Upon electrochemical oxidation, carbamazepine was found to undergo ring contraction and amide bond cleavage, which parallels the oxidative metabolism observed for this drug in leucocytes. The mechanistic information of these redox reactions revealed by EC/DESI-MS would be of value in nitroso-proteome research and carbohydrate/drug metabolic studies.
