The following section illustrates advances made using in vivo microdialysis by describing the contributions of this technique to the study of memory and drug addiction, which are our areas of research interest. In addition, we have chosen two areas that present unique challenges and new apphcations of this procedure, specifically the study of ontological development and the use of in vivo microdialysis in human research... 

One area of research interest has been the metal ion specificity of the MnSOD and FeSOD molecules. The tertiary structures of these molecules are very similar and the ligands coordinated to the metal ions are identical. Many organisms contain both forms of the enzyme and each form has an absolute specificity for its metal ion, the enzyme is completely inactive if the wrong metal ion is present. Cambialistic enzymes that occur in some organisms are active with either metal ion present in the active site. Comparisons of the structures of the MnSOD, FeSOD, and the cambialistic enzymes have not revealed any single obvious structural differences that could explain this phenomenon. " ... 

The subject of heteronuclear cluster compounds of the transition metals remains an active area of research interest, and was reviewed in the early 1980s by Geoffroy el al. (1,2). Clusters with novel architectures, exemplified by the star clusters of Stone and co-workers (5), continue to be synthesized. Whereas there is undoubtedly strong academic interest in the structure, bonding, and chemical reactivity of heteronuclear clusters in their own right, additional impetus to this field is given by the important relationship between heteronuclear clusters and bimetallic alloy catalysts. This relationship was the subject of a published symposium (4). 

Dr. Meskin s major areas of research interest include (1) hepatic drug metabolism and the effects of nutritional factors on drug metabolism and clearance (2) nutrient-drug interactions (3) the role of bioactive non-nutrients (phytochemicals, herbs, botanicals, and nutritional supplements) in disease prevention and health promotion (4) fetal pharmacology and fetal, maternal, and pediatric nutrition (5) nutrition education and (6) the development of educational programs for improving science literacy and combating health fraud. 

Kokorin, Alexander I, was bom in 1947. Was graduated as a biophysicist in 1970 Ph.D. (Candidate of Sciences) in 1974 D.Sc. degree (Doctor of Sciences) in physical chemistry - in 1992. At present Principal Researcher and Deputy Head of the Division of Kinetics and Catalysis, N. Semenov Institute of Chemical Physics of Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Russia. Area of research interests chemical methods of solar energy conversion chemical physics of organized molecular systems, including nanosized oxide semiconductors doped with transition metal ions, and polymer-metal complexes the study of their structure, absorptive, catalytic, photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical properties. EPR spectroscopy and spin-spin interaction between paramagnetics. He is the author and co-author of more than 170 publications, including two books and several reviews and book chapters. 

The covalent assembly of guest-encapsulating host species has long been an area of research interest. The first examples of host species binding their guests within a three-dimensional array of interactions were the class of compounds known as cryptands [26,27]. The cryptands were designed as hosts for alkali metal cations and are based on macrobicyclic-polyethers (Fig. 2). Typically, cryptands are synthesised by the addition of a diacyl-chloride to an azacrownether (Scheme 1). 

Dr. Murthy s other area of research interest involves studies to understand the underlying mechanisms of eicosanoid M ecursors release by different enzymatic pathways and their impact on cellular iuncti(Mi. He believes that PLA, inhibitors may one day be new effective therapies. Dr. Murthy also has interests on the effects of dietary fatty acids and their role in health and disease. 

Aminocyclitols - This category of antibiotics includes both aminoglycosides and other antibiotics which contain aminocyclitol moieties but no aminosugar. Control or alteration of resistance development and the moderation of toxic effects are the major areas of research interest. A number of newer aminocyclitols, such as amikacin, sisomicin, verdamicin, netilmicin, were undergoing clinical examination, while tobramycin and amikacin became available for medical use.5,6... 

The involvement of SBM in alkene polymerization is another area of research interest. Although chain growth in Z-N polymerization occurs by 1,2-insertion into an M-C bond, chain termination may involve SBM. For example, H2 is sometimes added to curtail the length of polymer chains. Watson113 observed that H2 reacts with Lu-alkyls according to equation 11.38. The reaction is undoubtedly a SBM and, as such, may provide a good model for what actually occurs when H2 is used to limit polyalkene chain length. 

One of the major areas of research interest in wine strains of S. cerevisiae is the analysis of response to stress. This focus is motivated by both practical and fimdamental interests. The production of wine imposes both biotic and abiotic stresses on the yeast. The principal stresses encountered are high osmolarity, high ethanol, extremes of temperature, nutrient limitation, and presence of inhibitory metabolites (Bisson, 1999). Genomic analysis of the response to each of these types of stress has been conducted (Alexandre et al., 2001 Aranda and del Olmo, 2004 Backhus et al., 2001 Erasmus et al., 2003 Kuhn et al., 2001 Marks et al., 2003 Rep et al., 2000 Rossignol et al., 2006 Sahara et al., 2002). Several... 

Due to the abundance and the nature of the primary compounds involved in these reactions, Cl chemistry has become a major area of research interest. CH4 (main component of natural gas) may be considered as a raw material for the next decades to produce various organic intermediates (chemicals, liquid fuels), as well as a principal source of energy. CO2 is the largest by-product emitted to the atmosphere and partially responsible for the green house effect. For this latter reason, its reutilisation is strongly desirable. CH3OH is a synthetic compound that allows numerous chemical transformations of great interest in the production of intermediates for the chemicals industry. Also CO (or CO + H2 mixture, usually called synthesis...
