Thermodynamic analysis of amines-lasalocid complex formation
1Chemistry Department, Ben Gurion University of the Negev, Beer-Sheva, Israel.
Abstract:
The ionophore lasalocid A selectively transports amines across lipid membranes. Free energy differences of amine-lasalocid complex formation reactions and the activation barriers of the complex transport were calculated by the finite difference thermodynamic integration method. Four catecholamines were treated: serotonin > dopamine > noradrenaline > adrenaline. The concept of transfer selectivity was introduced, combining binding and activation barrier selectivities. The transfer selectivities correlate well with the relative selectivities of the amines under study.

Imines are formed under mildly acidic conditions. A pH of 4.5 is ideal for the reaction.
If the pH is low or the solution is too acidic, the reaction slows down in the...
