The first system we study is a mixture of R Ai and R Bi chains, each carrying a functional group A or B at one end. Diblock copolymers are formed by the end-to-end association (hetero-dimerization) [1,2]. End groups A and B are assumed to be capable of forming pairwise bonds A-B by thermoreversible hetero-association. The hydrogen bond between acid and base pair is the most important example of this category. 

Rhodopsin which is a brown [Red] coloured chromoprotein found in rods and synthesized from vitamin A, get bleached in presence of light and resynthesized in dark. The first step is the conversion of Rhodopsin into Bathorhodopsin after the absorption of light. This conversion needs only tens of picoseconds and each subsequent step is 10 -10 times slower than its previous step. Current opinion ascribes the changes to the inability of the straight all-trans-retinal to be sterically accommodated on the surface of the opsin, only bent 11-ds-retinal fitting into the protein. In the dark, the retinal in rhodopsin is in the 11-cis conformation. Absorption of photon leads to photoisomerisation of the double bond of the 11-ds-retinal in rhodopsin. This alters the configuration of the opsin and opsin changes activities of the associated hetero trimeric G protein, which is called transducin or Gt 1. Photoisomerisation leads to the formation of... 

The concept of mesohydric tautomerism was advanced by Hunter and his associates in a series of papers which appeared between 1940 and 1950 (e.g., references 15 and 16). This concept was based on the fact that in all cases where the mobile hydrogen atom would be bonded to oxygen, sulfur, or nitrogen atoms in both possible tautomers, the individual forms had not been isolated. It was further established that many of these compounds were associated both in the liquid state and in solution, and it was concluded that the individual tautomers did not exist. The actual molecules were thought to be intermolec-ularly hydrogen-bonded, the mobile hydrogen atom being bonded equally to both of the hetero atoms. This concept has been useful and has led to clarification of the tautomerism which occurs in solids and... 

Kir channels may be homo- or hetero-tetrameric complexes, in some cases in tight association with beta-subunits (e.g., the KAtp channel). 

Associated to copper(II) pre-catalysts, bis(oxazolines) also allowed the asymmetric Diels-Alder and hetero Diels-Alder transformations to be achieved in nearly quantitative yield and high diastereo- and enantioselectivities. Optically active sulfoximines, with their nitrogen-coordinating site located at close proximity to the stereogenic sulfur atom, have also proven their efficiency as copper ligands for these asymmetric cycloadditions. Other precursors for this Lewis acid-catalyzed transformation have been described (e.g., zinc salts, ruthenium derivatives, or rare earth complexes) which, when associated to bis(oxazolines), pyridine-oxazolines or pyridine-bis(oxazolines), led to efficient catalysts. 

The cloned opiate receptors expressed in homogeneous cell lines associate with guanine nucleotide binding (G) proteins which couple the receptors to cellular effector systems. G proteins consist of hetero-trimeric complexes of a, fj and y subunits [66]. Multiple subtypes of each subunit have been identified and cloned. In particular, three subtypes of Gi have been cloned that are approximately 90% identical in amino acid sequence. Furthermore, two splice forms of G0 have been identified. 

The pore-forming oq subunit alone is sufficient to form a functional calcium channel in the cell membrane [8]. However, high-voltage-activated calcium channels are hetero-oligomeric structures that may contain as many as three additional smaller subunits, labeled CX25 (itself a heterodimer), (5, and y. These three subunits associate in an auxiliary... 

The copper complex of these bis(oxazoline) compounds can also be used for hetero Diels-Alder reactions of acyl phosphonates with enol ethers.43 5 A favorable acyl phosphonate-catalyst association is achieved via complexation between the vicinal C=0 and P=0 functional groups. The acyl phosphonates are activated, leading to facile cycloaddition with electron-rich alkenes such as enol ethers. The product cyclic enol phosphonates can be used as building blocks in the asymmetric synthesis of complicated molecules. Scheme 5-36 shows the results of such reactions.

The hetero-l,4-linked xylans (or heteroxylans) constitute a well-characterized group of polysaccharides which form the major components of the hemicellulosic fractions of terrestrial plants (1-4). Softwoods are an exception, where the heteroxylans can be present as a minor component of the total hemicelluloses. They have been isolated from grasses, legumes, ferns, softwoods and hardwoods, and collectively may constitute up to 35% of the total dry weight of higher land plants (4). As such the heteroxylans rank second to cellulose in abundance as naturally occurring organic chemicals in the biosphere. The heteroxylans are closely associated with other...

It is assumed that the Jak kinases bind to a cytoplasmic section of the receptor, which is in the vicinity of the membrane and contains two conserved sequence elements, Box 1 and Box 2. Binding of the Jak kinases leads to their activation, a process linked to mutual phosphorylation of the Jak kinases (Fig. 11.6). Activation of the Jak kinases may take place in a homodimeric receptor complex or it may also occm in hetero-oligomeric complexes. The circumstances are comphcated in that two (or more) Jak kinases may associate at an activated receptor. Two different Jak kinases are required for signal transduction via interferon receptors (see Fig. 11.8). Furthermore, the different Jak kinases are specific for the corresponding receptors.
