The extent of coupling between photophosphorylation and electron transport in chloroplasts is usually expressed by the ratio of ATP formed per pair of electrons transferred, written as ATP/Cj or P/Cj. This parameter expresses the amount of ATP formed divided by the number of pairs of electrons transferred through the electron-transfer chain. The P/ej ratio for phosphorylation coupled to the transfer of electrons from water to photosystem I can be computed by taking the HVe ratio of 2 (4 protons per electron-pair transferred) and the HVATP ratio of 3 (three protons required to flow through CFo F to produce one ATP), to obtain the P/c2 value of 1.33. 

Cp is tire number of elasticity active chains per volume unit. The comparison between experimental data and tire prediction by (C2.1.20) shows a reasonable agreement up to large defonnation (figure C2.1.16). For large values of X, strain hardening arises because of tire limited extensibility of tire chains or because of shear-induced crystallization. 

The general equation for the gel effect index, equation (la) which incorporates chain transfer, was used in those cases where there was not a good agreement between model predictions and experimental data. The same values of and (derived from the values of and C2 found at high rates) were used in the integration of equation (1) and the value of the constant of chain transfer to monomer, C, was taken as an adjustable parameter and used to minimize tfie error of fitting the time-conversion data by the model. 

The first three telomers CCl2Br(CH2CHCl)nBr (n = 1 - 3) were isolated as individual compounds, the structure was confirmed by NMR spectroscopic data. The values of the chain transfer partial constants (Cj = 7 C2 = 54.3) point to the high efficiency of CBr2Cl2 as a chain transfer agent, which comparable with that of CBr4 (C2 = 74.2) (in the similar reaction with vinyl chloride) (ref. 7). 

By ab initio MO and density functional theoretical (DPT) calculations it has been shown that the branched isomers of the sulfanes are local minima on the particular potential energy hypersurface. In the case of disulfane the thiosulfoxide isomer H2S=S of Cg symmetry is by 138 kj mol less stable than the chain-like molecule of C2 symmetry at the QCISD(T)/6-31+G // MP2/6-31G level of theory at 0 K [49]. At the MP2/6-311G //MP2/6-3110 level the energy difference is 143 kJ mol" and the activation energy for the isomerization is 210 kJ mol at 0 K [50]. Somewhat smaller values (117/195 kJ mor ) have been calculated with the more elaborate CCSD(T)/ ANO-L method [50]. The high barrier of ca. 80 kJ mol" for the isomerization of the pyramidal H2S=S back to the screw-like disulfane structure means that the thiosulfoxide, once it has been formed, will not decompose in an unimolecular reaction at low temperature, e.g., in a matrix-isolation experiment. The transition state structure is characterized by a hydrogen atom bridging the two sulfur atoms. 

Values of /c2, the maximal rate constant for disappearance of penicillin at pH 10.24 and 31.5°, and Ka, the cycloheptaamylose-penicillin dissociation constant are presented in Table VII. Two features of these data are noteworthy. In the first place, there is no correlation between the magnitude of the cycloheptaamylose induced rate accelerations and the strength of binding specificity is again manifested in a rate process rather than in the stability of the inclusion complex. Second, the selectivity of cycloheptaamylose toward the various penicillins is somewhat less than the selectivity of the cycloamyloses toward phenyl esters—rate accelerations differ by no more than fivefold throughout the series. As noted by Tutt and Schwartz (1971), selectivity can be correlated with the distance of the reactive center from the nonpolar side chain. Whereas the carbonyl carbon of phenyl acetates is only two atoms removed from the phenyl ring, the reactive center... 

The phantom network behaviour corresponding to volumeless chains which can freely interpenetrate one through the other and thus to unrestricted fluctuations of crosslinks should be approached in swollen systems or at high strains (proportionality to the Mooney-Rivlin constant C-j). For suppressed fluctuations of crosslinks, which then are displaced affinely with the strain, A for the small-strain modulus (equal to C1+C2) approaches unity. This situation should be characteristic of bulk systems. The constraints arising from interchain interactions important at low strains should be reflected in an increase of Aabove the phantom value and no extra Gee contribution to the modulus is necessary. The upper limit of the predicted equilibrium modulus corresponds therefore, A = 1. 

The results of stress-strain measurements can be summarized as follows (1) the reduced stress S (A- A ) (Ais the extension ratio) is practically independent of strain so that the Mooney-Rivlin constant C2 is practically zero for dry as well as swollen samples (C2/C1=0 0.05) (2) the values of G are practically the same whether obtained on dry or swollen samples (3) assuming that Gee=0, the data are compatible with the chemical contribution and A 1 (4) the difference between the phantom network dependence with the value of A given by Eq.(4) and the experimental moduli fits well the theoretical dependence of G e in Eq.(2) or (3). The proportionality constant in G for series of networks with s equal to 0, 0.2, 0.33, and 0. Ewas practically the same -(8.2, 6.3, 8.8, and 8.5)x10-4 mol/cm with the average value 7.95x10 mol/cm. Results (1) and (2) suggest that phantom network behavior has been reached, but the result(3) is contrary to that. Either the constraints do survive also in the swollen and stressed states, or we have to consider an extra contribution due to the incrossability of "phantom" chains. The latter explanation is somewhat supported by the constancy of in Eq.(2) for a series of samples of different composition. 

The molar C2/C3 ratios calculated from the obtained a-values in Figure 2.5 were also compared with the C2/C3 ratios received from online GC measurements. According to Table 2.4 a good agreement of the measured (online GC) and calculated data (a-values) was reached, which confirms the correctness of the results shown in Figure 2.5, even in the range of short-chain hydrocarbons. 

Symbol for the bond angle beween the C2 (that is, a) carbon and the adjacent side-chain carbon of an amino acid in a peptide or protein. 2. Symbol for surface electric potential. 3. A parameter associated with a distribution in statistics, more commonly referred to as chi-squared distributions ( -distribution). Chi-square is a sum of terms in which each term is a quotient obtained by dividing the square of the difference between the observed and the theoretical value of a quantity by the theoretical value.
