This is often represented as a simple hydrolysis reaction.
The hydrolysis reactions of amitraz strongly depend on the environmental pH.
In organic chemistry, hydrolysis reactions often give two fragments from an initial substrate.
Higher temperature or acidic conditions can speed up the hydrolysis reactions considerably.
In humans, the nucleophile of the hydrolysis reaction is Glu-268.
A similar hydrolysis reaction may take place when trimethylsilyldiazomethane comes into contact with water on the surface of a human lung.
This hydrolysis reaction, however, occurs very slowly, so the G proteins in essence have a built-in timer for their activity.
The speed of the hydrolysis reaction works as an internal clock for the length of the signal.
This hydrolysis reaction is much more common.
The hydrolysis reaction with water is violent and exposure results in a thermal burn.
