College of Science / University of Kerbala has discussed the M.A thesis which is entitled “Synthesis and Characterization of new compounds kinetic Study of enzymatically catalyzed Diels_ Alder Reactions”.
The study, submitted by Zainab Adel Jassim, aims at using an environmentally friendly method to catalyze chemical reactions to synthesize new compounds and study kinetics of enzyme used in the reaction.
The study includes synthesis of six compounds through Diels-Alder reaction using the MaDA enzyme in addition to monitor kinetics of enzyme.
The study concludes that enzyme has an effect on selectivity of resulting compounds, as well as an effect of substituent groups of reactants on reaction conditions.
