Hydrolysis of Adenosine Triphosphate by Conventional or Microwave Heating

Abstract: The hydrolysis rate of adenosine-5'-triphosphate (ATP) has been reported to be 25 times greater during microwave heating than during conventional heating at comparable temperatures (100 to 105 °C). This remarkable rate increase was both attributed to and cited as evidence for a nonthermal microwave effect. Attempts to replicate those findings under carefully controlled microwave exposure conditions and with special attention being paid to accurate temperature measurements lead to the conclusion that the hydrol… Show more

“…It is well-accepted that chemical kinetic study is a strong and comprehensive tool to reveal quantitatively the impact of MW energy on chemical reactions. Various reactions were reported that show similar kinetics in both the presence and absence of MW at comparable temperatures, suggesting the simple dielectric heating of materials by MW. , There are reports, however, which show a clear reaction rate enhancement in the presence of MW radiation, indicating a specific MW effect other than the well-accepted dielectric heating. ,, The importance of adequate and accurate temperature control in MW reactor for detecting the MW specific effect by kinetic studies is well-reported. It has been proposed that temperature should be measured microscopically due to the temperature gradient in the bulk. , , In recent years, technical developments on temperature, pressure, and power (energy) measurements and process control allowed one to design specialized computer controlled systems that are adapted to chemical synthesis, extending the possibilities of MW-assisted reaction engineering …”

“…The next year, however, Jahngen (4) , who was one of the authors, conducted the same experiments and concluded that the rate of hydrolysis solely depends on the temperature and not on the method of heating. Mayo et al (5) conducted ring-closing metathesis reactions using microwaves and reported that microwaves accelerated the reaction.…”

“…Other investigators have rejected the theory of specific activation at a controlled temperature in homogeneous media [57][58][59][60][61][62] . A study by Stadler et al 63 on the rate enhancements observed in solid-phase reactions revealed that the significant rate enhancements were a result of direct, rapid 'in-core' heating of the solvent by microwave energy and not a specific non-thermal 'microwave effect' .…”
