Affinity difference

Antiemetics can be administered either intravenously or orally in this situation, depending on patient characteristics such as ability to take oral medications, dosage form availability, and cost considerations.5,10 The intravenous and oral routes are equally effective. When used at equipotent doses, the 5-HT3 antagonists have similar efficacy in preventing acute CINV, despite pharmacokinetic and receptor binding affinity differences.5,10,36... 

It is noteworthy that the MD simulations, even without reparametrization of the LIE equation, gives a good ranking of the rather diverse set of thrombin inhibitors. The calculations thus reproduce, e.g., the large affinity difference between the S-form of Tla, which is a potent inhibitor in the nM... 

Unsymmetrical monosulphonated dyes of Mr 700-900. The presence of the ionic solubilising group reduces manufacturing costs and minimises the staining of adjacents in severe wet tests, but these dyes are more sensitive to dye-affinity differences than are the unsulphonated 1 2 metal-complex types.

In most papers the experimental proton affinity difference between water and ammonia is taken as being equal to 37.5 kcalmol-1. Various calculated values of this gap have appeared. The PA values of ammonia and water were 205.6 and 168 or 168.6 kcalmol-1 respectively (APA = 37 or 37.6 kcalmol-1) according to Dixon and Lias26 the work of Defrees and McLean27 led to similar calculations of P/HN1I3) = 204.0 and PA (H30) = 165.1, with A PA = 38.9 kcalmol-1, although Pople and coworkers28 predicted a A PA = 39.4 kcalmol-1.

Several lines of evidence suggest that tt2A- and a2c-receptors operate also in wild-type mice as integral parts of the presynaptic feedback loop. Experiments on peripheral tissues, e.g. heart atria, demonstrated that the a2c-subtype mediates autoinhibition by low concentrations of noradrenaline in wild-type mice, whereas the potency of noradrenaline at the a2A-subtype was lower (Fig. 4) (Hein et al. 1999). This potency difference of noradrenaline for the a2-receptors correlated with the affinity difference of noradrenaline for the tt2A- and a2c-subtypes, respectively. Furthermore, there is no evidence so far that the expression of the remaining o(2-receptor subtypes was altered in mice carrying deletions in a2A- or a2c-receptor genes (Link et al. 1995 Altman et al. 1999). 

The property of interest to characterize a surfactant or a mixture of surfactants is its hydrophilic-lipophilic tendency, which has been expressed in many different ways through a variety of concepts such as the hydrophiUc-lipophilic balance (HLB), the phase inversion temperature (PIT), the cohesive energy ratio (CER), the surfactant affinity difference (SAD) or the hydrophilic-lipophilic deviation (HLD) [1], which were found to be more or less satisfactory depending on the case. In the next section, the quantification of the effects of the different compounds involved in the formulation of surfactant-oil-water systems will be discussed in details to extract the concept of characteristic parameter of the surfactant, as a way to quantify its hydrophilic-lipophilic property independently of the nature of the physicochemical environment. 

Later these correlations were reported to be identical to the expression of the surfactant affinity difference (SAD) [9], i.e., the variation of Gibbs free energy when a surfactant molecule passes from oil to water ... 

Due to the formation of a phosphorylated intermediate with a lower calcium affinity, calcium is released from the protein. It remains to be shown that this transient affinity change is comparable to the affinity difference which is required to explain the concentration of calcium ions by more than a factor of 1000 as it occurs during active calcium accumulation. 

In coal, copper shows an organic affinity different from the Mellor and Maley (14) series, and zinc appears to be completely associated with the inorganic matter. Copper in the physicochemical environment of coal deposition can be reduced to the univalent state (5). Univalent copper cannot be expected to behave like the bivalent metals. The ionic potential of univalent copper fits reasonably well into the organic affinity series (Figure la). 

The first reported work on the adsorption of ODNs onto charged colloids revealed marked affinity differences between sulfate- and amino-containing polystyrene latexes. In fact, low affinity has been observed for sulfated polystyrene particles, whereas high affinities are exhibited in the case of cationic (amine and amidine) polystyrene latexes (Fig. 2). 

We now study how, as a kinetic circuit, a phosphorylation-dephosphorylation switch can amplify the affinity difference between two competing substrate... 

A closer relationship between foam stability and HLB has been reported for two- or three-phase systems surfactant solution-oil or oil-surfactant phase-water [60,109-111]. The effect of various parameters changing HLB on the stability of foams and emulsions has been studied in [111]. These were the concentration of amyl alcohol and sodium chloride, the number of the ethylene oxide groups in the molecule of the oxyethylated octylphenol. As a general parameter of HLB the authors used the surfactant affinity difference concept (SAD) which is an empirical generalised formulation. It measures the deviation from the optimum formulation for three phase behaviour. For anionic surfactants...
