Because of the large number of chemicals of actual and potential concern, the difficulties and cost of experimental determinations, and scientific interest in elucidating the fundamental molecular determinants of physical-chemical properties, considerable effort has been devoted to generating quantitative structure-property relationships (QSPRs). This concept of structure-property relationships or structure-activity relationships (QSARs) is based on observations of linear free-energy relationships, and usually takes the form of a plot or regression of the property of interest as a function of an appropriate molecular descriptor which can be calculated using only a knowledge of molecular structure or a readily accessible molecular property. 

The in vitro hydrogenase activity was determined by using a gas chromatograph (Hewlett Packard 5890 A Series II, column molecular Sieve 5 A, Mesh 60/80). As described before [Happe and Naber, 1993], methylviologen reduced by sodium dithionite was used as electron donor. One unit is defined as the amount of hydrogenase evolving 1 pmol Hi-min1 at 25°C.

One important feature of the Argon theory is to allow the parameters A and B to be determined from the straight lines in Figure 3. Such parameters in turn give the critical activated molecular segment dimension which can be compared with the known molecular structures of the materials. Equation 6 can be immediately rearranged to give... 

There are a number of methods for determining the configuration of an optically active molecular entity . Among the more common methods are ... 

Generally, 1 to 5 mg of sample dissolved in 100 pi of mobile phase were injected for each SEC run. For the Si-H determinations tetrachloroethylene (TCE) mobile phase was used at 55°C. It was Dowper grade (Dow Chemical Co.) and was dried by passage through activated Molecular Sieves (Linde Co.). The Si-OH analyses employed 1,4-dioxane/ TCE (90/10 by volume) at the same temperature. The dioxane was purchased from Burdick Jackson, with UV cutoff of 211 nm and water content of 0.036%. The silicone-phenyl analyses used methylene chloride (Burdick Jackson, UV cutoff of 230 nm, water content 0.003%) at 35°C and tetrahydrofuran (THF, Burdick Jackson, UV cutoff 212 nm, water content 0.02% or less) at 50 C. Each of the mobile phases was continually purged with pure helium during use. 

The effect of the addition of water and molecular solvents such as propylene carbonate, N-methylformamide, and 1-methylimidazole on the conductivity of [C4Cilm][Br] and [C2Cilm][BF4] was measured at 298 K [211]. The mixture of the IL and the molecular solvent or water showed a maximum on the conductivity/mole fraction IL curves. The maximum for nonaqueous solvents was at the level of approximately 18-30 mScm at low mole fraction of the IL and the maximum for water was at level approximately 92-98 mScm [211]. The conductivity of a mixture of these two ILs depends monotonically on the composition. The temperature dependence of the conductivity obeys the Arrhenius law. Activation energies, determined from the Arrhenius plot, are usually in the range of 10-40 kj mol / The mixtures of two ILs or of an IL with molecular solvents may find practical applications in electrochemical capacitors [212]. 

The activator for the hydroly sis of G 12 catalyzed by /3-hexosaminidase A was described by Hechtman277 and Hechtman and LeBlanc.278 The GM2-specific activator was purified over 100-fold from human liver, and was identified as a heat-labile protein. This activator did not stimulate the hydrolysis of asialo-G 12 catalyzed either by hexosaminidase A or B. The molecular weight of this activator was determined to... 

LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY. An analytical method based on separation of the components of a mixture in solution by selective adsorption. All systems include a moving solvent, a means of producing solvent motion (such us gravity or a pump I, a means ol sample introduction, a fractionating column, and a detector. Innovations in functional systems provide the analytical capability for operating in three separation modes (1) liquid-liquid partition in which separations depend on relative solubilities of sample components in two immiscible solvents (one of which is usually water) 12) liquid-solid adsorption where the differences in polarities nf sample components and their relative adsorption on an active surface determine tile degree ol separation (2) molecular size separations which depend on the effective molecular size of sample components ill solution.
