There is a great number of mostly covalent and tetraliedral binary IV-IV, III-V, II-VI and I-VII semiconductors. Most crystallize in tire zincblende stmcture, but some prefer tire wairtzite stmcture, notably GaN [H, 12]. Wlrile tire bonding in all of tliese compounds (and tlieir alloys) is mostly covalent, some ionic character is always present because of tire difference in electron affinity of tire constituent atoms. 

Some physical constants for selenium are given in Table 1. More extensive data and many sources are available (1 5). For a selenium atom, the covalent radius is ca 0.115 nm, the electron affinity for two electrons is ca —2.33 eV, ie, energy absorbed, and the first ionization potential is 9.75 eV. 

A two-site immunometric assay of undecapeptide substance P (SP) has been developed. This assay is based on the use of two different antibodies specifically directed against the N- and C-terminal parts of the peptide (95). Affinity-purified polyclonal antibodies raised against the six amino-terminal residues of the molecule were used as capture antibodies. A monoclonal antibody directed against the carboxy terminal part of substance P (SP), covalently coupled to the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, was used as the tracer antibody. The assay is very sensitive, having a detection limit close to 3 pg/mL. The assay is fiiUy specific for SP because cross-reactivity coefficients between 0.01% were observed with other tachykinins, SP derivatives, and SP fragments. The assay can be used to measure the SP content of rat brain extracts. 

Optical absorption measurements give band-gap data for cubic sihcon carbide as 2.2 eV and for the a-form as 2.86 eV at 300 K (55). In the region of low absorption coefficients, optical transitions are indirect whereas direct transitions predominate for quantum energies above 6 eV. The electron affinity is about 4 eV. The electronic bonding in sihcon carbide is considered to be predominantiy covalent in nature, but with some ionic character (55). In a Raman scattering study of vahey-orbit transitions in 6H-sihcon carbide, three electron transitions were observed, one for each of the inequivalent nitrogen donor sites in the sihcon carbide lattice (56). The donor ionization energy for the three sites had values of 0.105, 0.140, and 0.143 eV (57). 

Affinity Labels. Active site-directed, irreversible inhibitors or affinity labels are usually substrate analogues that contain a reactive electrophilic functional group. In the first step, they bind to the active site of the target enzyme in a reversible fashion. Subsequentiy, an active site nucleophile in close proximity reacts with the electrophilic group on the substrate to form a covalent bond between the enzyme and the inhibitor, typically via S 2 alkylation or acylation. Affinity labels do not require activation by the catalysis of the enzyme, as in the case of a mechanism-based inhibitor. 

The often fast binding step of the inhibitor I to the enzyme E, forming the enzyme inhibitor complex E-I, is followed by a rate-determining inactivation step to form a covalent bond. The evaluation of affinity labels is based on the fulfillment of the following criteria (/) irreversible, active site-directed inactivation of the enzyme upon the formation of a stable covalent linkage with the activated form of the inhibitor, (2) time- and concentration-dependent inactivation showing saturation kinetics, and (3) a binding stoichiometry of 1 1 of inhibitor to the enzyme s active site (34). 

A/-(2,3-Epoxypropyl)-A/-amidinoglycine [70363-44-9] (21) was shown to be an affinity label of creatine kinase. Its mechanism of covalent bond formation is outlined as follows ... 

Although most /3- lactam antibiotics bind covalently to some or all of the same six proteins, there are decided differences among them in terms of their relative affinities. For example, cefoxitin (see Table 1 for structures) fails to bind to protein 2 while cephacetrile binds very slowly to proteins 5 and 6. Cephaloridine binds most avidly to protein 1, the transpeptidase, and inhibits cell elongation and causes lysis at its minimum inhibitory concentration. On the other hand, cephalexin binds preferentially to protein 3 and causes inhibition of cell division and filament formation (75PNA2999, 77MI51002).
