Activated characteristics

White has shown that the lysergic acids themselves exhibit weakly some, but not all, of the types of activity characteristic of the alkaloids of higher molecular weight. Both acids produce a slight transitory cyanosis of the cockscomb and cause ataxia and delayed miosis in the cat and also relax the isolated rabbit intestine. On the whole, lysergic acid appeared more active than the isomeride.

Nowhere, perhaps, is this phenomenon better illustrated than in the phenothiazine class. The earlier volume devoted a full chapter to the discussion of this important structural class, which was represented by both major tranquilizers and antihistamines. The lone phenothiazine below, flutiazin (130), in fact fails to show the activities characteristic of its class. Instead, the ring system is used as the aromatic nucleus for a nonsteroidal antiinflammatory agent. Preparation of 130 starts with formylation of the rather complex aniline 123. Reaction with alcoholic sodium hydroxide results in net overall transformation to the phenothiazine by the Smiles rearrangement. The sequence begins with formation of the anion on the amide nitrogen addition to the carbon bearing sulfur affords the corresponding transient spiro intermediate 126. Rearomatization...

A novel substance with a bufadienolide-related chemical structure has been isolated from B. marinus skin. This substance is 3P-hydroxy-ll, 12-seco-5p, 14P-bufa-20, 22-dienolide-l 1, 14-olides-12oic acid (called marinoic acid) and shows the Na+/K+-ATPase inhibitory activity characteristic of the bufadienolides (Matsukawa, Akizawa, Morris, Butler Jr and Yoshioka 1996). 

Many of the amino acids originally tested by Krebs were racemic mixtures. When naturally occurring L-amino acids became available the oxidase was found to be sterically restricted to the unnatural, D series. [D-serine occurs in worms free and as D-phosphoryl lombricine (Ennor, 1959)]. It could not therefore be the enzyme used in the liver to release NH3 in amino acid metabolism. D-amino acid oxidase was shown by Warburg and Christian (1938) to be a flavoprotein with FAD as its prosthetic group. A few years later Green found an L-amino acid oxidase in liver. It was however limited in its specificity for amino acid substrates and not very active—characteristics which again precluded its central role in deamination.

Critical periods are those in which the synaptic circuitry of a given brain region becomes stabilized in a functionally optimized conformation. The cerebral cortex and other brain structures contain functional maps for the activities characteristic of a species. The best example is the ocular dominance columns and other physical and functional characteristics of the circuitry within the visual cortical system that process information derived from the left and right visual fields, producing a map of the visual world. Other internal maps exist for the body (somatosensory, motor corti-... 

Many of the esters which are hydrolyzed by the AalI mechanism in acid are also hydrolyzed with alkyl-oxygen fission under neutral condi-tions60,67 74 75 84 85 88 89. These reactions have the high enthalpies and entropies of activation characteristic of unimolecular reactions, and involve the ionization of (usually) tertiary alkyl esters, to the carbonium ion and a carboxylate anion in the rate-determining step, viz. 

The surface activity characteristics of ll//-pyrido[2,l-6]quinazolin-ll-one and its 3-chloro, 2-methoxy, 8-methyl, and 2,4-dinitro derivatives were determined in 3% hydrochloric acid (85MI1). 

It is difficult to imagine just how these molecules, once formed, somehow evolved further into the extraordinarily complex systems afforded by even the simplest bacterium able to utilize energy from the sun to support and reproduce itself. Nonetheless, synthetic peptides do coil and aggregate rather like natural proteins, and some also have shown catalytic activities characteristic of natural enzymes. One would hope that some kind of life would be found elsewhere in the solar system, the analysis of which would help us to better understand how life began on earth. 

This schema already brings the connection between form-m and form-c into view. According to I, something is in a species just in case it has the capacities for engaging in activities characteristic of that species. But, because a form-m is the capacity-like entity that is the source of the dynamical interactions of a composite of form and matter, something can only be a member of a species if it has an appropriate fbrm-m. A fire element, for instance, is in the species, fire, if and only if it has the fbrm-m, in this instance the pair of contraries hot and dry that is the source of those activities characteristic of fire. This fact about the relation between form-m and kind membership is captured by the following bi-conditional schema. 

II. For all x, x is capable of performing those activities characteristic of Fs iffx has matter enfbrmed by a fbrm-m, i.e. a source of dynamical activities, that is ordered toward F-ness. 

Surfactants are amphiphilic molecules widely used for different purposes in industrial processes, with a worldwide annual demand of about 10 billion (1,2). The most used surfactants are produced from petrochemical sources (3) however, compounds having surface activity characteristics may be synthetized by a wide variety of microorganisms (4,5). Such compounds, called biosurfactants, when compared with the syn-...
