A model system is described for the investigation of the dynamics of precipitation processes in a matrix. In this system a solution containing the molecular species to be precipitated and the precipitating medium are pumped along opposite sides of a polyacrylamide film. The solutions flowing continuously along the film, interact and can form a precipitate inside the film. The applicability of the model was tested on the capture reaction for phosphate ions by the Gomori type medium for acid phosphatase. Precipitation of lead phosphate in the film occurred only at a phosphate concentration above a certain value. The dependence of this minimal phosphate concentration on various parameters was studied and the results were compared with values found in earlier model studies and calculations concerning phosphate concentrations that can be built up in lysosomes during the Gomori reaction. The system seems promising for obtaining fundamental data about other cytochemical enzyme trapping reactions as well as for the matrix facotrs involved in bone calcification and shell formation. |
