Description

Methyl 2-chloropropionate is an organic chemical that is used in the production of insecticides. It is a competitive inhibitor of the enzyme chitin synthase, which breaks down chitin and prevents insects from developing their exoskeleton. Methyl 2-chloropropionate has been shown to be effective against Metarhizium, Anisopliae, and A-type bacteria. The kinetic behavior of methyl 2-chloropropionate can be described by the following equation:
where k3 is the rate constant for the third step in the reaction, k1 and k2 are rate constants for the first two steps, and [M] is the concentration of methyl 2-chloropropionate. The process optimization of this molecule was investigated using cell culture. Hydrogen bonds were found to have an effect on polymerase chain reactions (PCR). This chemical also has a zymogen form that can be activated by heat or enzyme
