The phrase "a reaction cycle" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to chemistry, biology, or any process that involves a series of reactions or events that repeat over time.
Example: "In the study of ecosystems, understanding the nitrogen cycle is crucial, as it is a reaction cycle that supports plant growth."
Alternatives: "a feedback loop" or "a response cycle".
We wrote a kinetic model in Matlab that calculates the concentration of each reactant (carboxylic acid, O-isoacylurea, N-acyl urea, and anhydride) every second in a reaction cycle.
However, this fixed-backbone approximation introduces its own special challenges for enzyme design and it contrasts with an emerging picture of natural enzymes as dynamic ensembles with multiple conformations and motions throughout a reaction cycle.
All the catalysts were subjected to a reaction cycle comprising of (1) CH4+O2, (2) CH4+O2+NO, and (3) CH4+O2 reactions at temperatures between 300 and 700°C.
After a reaction cycle at a temperature of 1,200 °C (2,200 °F) and under a reduced pressure of 13 pascals, magnesium crystals (called crowns) are removed from the condensers, slag is evacuated as a solid, and the retort is recharged.
In particular, it was found that the NO addition has a catalytic effect on the flame dynamics, since it participates in a reaction cycle leading to the consumption of active H, O, and OH radicals by nitrogen containing species and results in reduction of the laminar flame speeds even though the flame temperature is essentially unaffected.
Equations (1) and (2) represent a reaction cycle, and then ZnO is grown layer by layer.
With every step it takes, the kinesin motor undergoes a mechanochemical reaction cycle that includes the hydrolysis of one ATP molecule, ADPP i) release, plus an unknown number of additional transitions.
This device enabled us to quench the deuterium incorporation at as early as 20 ms, detecting structural changes of individual ribosomal proteins in solution at the time scale comparable to a single reaction cycle for the peptide elongation.
The catalyst deactivates partly due to sulfonic groups loss and to coke deposition during the reaction, as observed when it was used in a second reaction cycle without any treatment in between cycles.
It was washed with methanol three times, and subjected to a subsequent reaction cycle.
Using the known reaction mechanism for pHBH, we can begin to piece together a likely reaction cycle for one round of flavin-based hydroxylation in RebC (Table 4).
