In affinity capillary electrophoresis (ACE) the interaction between the molecular components usually takes place in free solution. The impressive selectivity offered by CE has been further increased by affinity applications, including pharmaceutical compounds. 

In this ehapter, methods of fabricating IPMC actuator devices and various biomedical applications of IPMC actuators have been described. As examples shown in this chapter, IPMC aetuators have much potential for biomedical and human-affinity applications. Though there still remain some issues that must be solved, IPMC actuators are expected to be used in various practical biomedical applications in the near future. 

In addition to their bending properties, IPMC actuators have a number of advantages that make them attractive for use in various biomedical and human affinity applications ...

The critical factor for any method involving an approximation or an extrapolation is its range of application. Liu et al. [15] demonstrated that the approach performed well for mutations involving the creation or deletion of single atoms. The method has also been successfully applied to the prediction of the relative binding affinities of benzene, toluene and o-, p-, and m-xylene to a mutant of T4-lysozyme [16]. In both cases, however, the perturbation to the system was small. To investigate range over which the extrapolation may... 

The second application of the CFTI approach described here involves calculations of the free energy differences between conformers of the linear form of the opioid pentapeptide DPDPE in aqueous solution [9, 10]. DPDPE (Tyr-D-Pen-Gly-Phe-D-Pen, where D-Pen is the D isomer of /3,/3-dimethylcysteine) and other opioids are an interesting class of biologically active peptides which exhibit a strong correlation between conformation and affinity and selectivity for different receptors. The cyclic form of DPDPE contains a disulfide bond constraint, and is a highly specific S opioid [llj. Our simulations provide information on the cost of pre-organizing the linear peptide from its stable solution structure to a cyclic-like precursor for disulfide bond formation. Such... 

Quantum chemical descriptors such as atomic charges, HOMO and LUMO energies, HOMO and LUMO orbital energy differences, atom-atom polarizabilities, super-delocalizabilities, molecular polarizabilities, dipole moments, and energies sucb as the beat of formation, ionization potential, electron affinity, and energy of protonation are applicable in QSAR/QSPR studies. A review is given by Karelson et al. [45]. 

Thus far the importance of carbon cluster chemistry has been in the discovery of new knowl edge Many scientists feel that the earliest industrial applications of the fullerenes will be based on their novel electrical properties Buckminsterfullerene is an insulator but has a high electron affinity and is a superconductor in its reduced form Nanotubes have aroused a great deal of interest for their electrical properties and as potential sources of carbon fibers of great strength... 

The enhanced concentration at the surface accounts, in part, for the catalytic activity shown by many solid surfaces, and it is also the basis of the application of adsorbents for low pressure storage of permanent gases such as methane. However, most of the important applications of adsorption depend on the selectivity, ie, the difference in the affinity of the surface for different components. As a result of this selectivity, adsorption offers, at least in principle, a relatively straightforward means of purification (removal of an undesirable trace component from a fluid mixture) and a potentially useflil means of bulk separation. 

Application of Antistatic Finishes. Antistatic finishes are commonly appHed to textile materials by padding (dipping and squeezing off excess finish), exhausting (absorption from solution due to affinity of the antistat for the textile material), spraying, and coating (see Textiles, finishing).

Group 3. These dyes have high affinity under neutral conditions and are large complex molecules. From the previous considerations it is clear that it is difficult to obtain level dyeiags with these dyes, and they are sensitive to physical and chemical variations in the nylon. They do have excellent fastness and therefore it is often worthwhile overcoming these application problems. This is done by using specially developed auxiliary agents that are added to the dyebath. The detailed mechanism has been described in detail elsewhere (26). 

Results on DNA-based biosensors will be presented they have been used mainly for two kind of applications 1) for the determination of low-molecular weight compounds witlr affinity for nucleic acids and 2) for the detection of hybridization reaction. 

For a radionuclide to be an effective oceanic tracer, various criteria that link the tracer to a specihc process or element must be met. Foremost, the environmental behavior of the tracer must closely match that of the target constituent. Particle affinity, or the scavenging capability of a radionuclide to an organic or inorganic surface site i.e. distribution coefficient, Kf, is one such vital characteristic. The half-life of a tracer is another characteristic that must also coincide well with the timescale of interest. This section provides a brief review of the role of various surface sites in relation to chemical scavenging and tracer applications.
