A new Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction with fructose 1,6-bisphosphate as the organic substrate

Abstract

The effects of temperature, free radicals, chloride and bromide ions, and bromine on the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction with fructose 1,6 bisphosphate were studied. The apparent activation energies of the induction period, lifetime, and oscillation period were found to be 76.24, 101.29, and 62.93 kJ mol -1 , respectively.
