Panel 1.1 The 20 different amino acids that occur in proteins. Only side chains are shown, except for the first amino acid, alanine, where all atoms are shown. The bond from the side chain to Ca is red. A ball-and stick model, the chemical formula, the full name, and the three-letter and one-letter codes are given for each amino acid. 

Figure S.22 Chemical formula for sialic acid (a-5-n-acetylneuramlnlc acid) drawn In approximately the same orientation as the ball and stick models in Figure 5.24. Ri and Rz which are H atoms in sialic acid, denote substituents introduced to design tightly bound inhibitors. These are large and hydrophobic as shown in Figure 5.24.

The three representations that are referred to in this study are (1) macroscopic representations that describe the bulk observable properties of matter, for example, heat energy, pH and colour changes, and the formation of gases and precipitates, (2) submicroscopic (or molecular) representations that provide explanations at the particulate level in which matter is described as being composed of atoms, molecules and ions, and (3) symbolic (or iconic) representations that involve the use of chemical symbols, formulas and equations, as well as molecular structure drawings, models and computer simulations that symbolise matter (Andersson, 1986 Boo, 1998 Johnstone, 1991, 1993 Nakhleh Krajcik, 1994 Treagust Chittleborough, 2001). 

A model is one of the main outcomes of ary scientific enquiry and hence is a major contributor to philosophy of science. A model may be defined as a simplified representation of a phenomenon (an object, system, event, process) or idea produced for the specific purpose of providing an explanation of that entity, the most important outcomes of which are the production of successful predictions of how it will behave under a range of circumstances (Gilbert, Boulter, Elmer, 2000). Entities can be modelled at the three levels at the macroscopic, by representing some of the aspects of the entity that can be seen at the sub-microscopic, by representing the ideas produced to explain the constitution and behaviour of the particles that constitute the entity and at the symbolic, by representing the symbols created to simplify the reference to such particles (as, for instance, chemical formulae and chemical equations). 

Compare each chemical formula with the corresponding molecular model. Each formula and model represents the same compound, so they should contain the same number of atoms of each element.

The very basis of the kinetic model is the reaction network, i.e. the stoichiometry of the system. Identification of the reaction network for complex systems may require extensive laboratory investigation. Although complex stoichiometric models, describing elementary steps in detail, are the most appropriate for kinetic modelling, the development of such models is time-consuming and may prove uneconomical. Moreover, in fine chemicals manufacture, very often some components cannot be analysed or not with sufficient accuracy. In most cases, only data for key reactants, major products and some by-products are available. Some components of the reaction mixture must be lumped into pseudocomponents, sometimes with an ill-defined chemical formula. Obviously, methods are needed that allow the development of simple... 

Roald Hoffmann and Pierre Laszlo recently have clarified the kind of argument that we find in Urbain s statement, noting that structural formulas in chemistry are "in-between symbols and models," existing in uneasy hybrid states. "A chemical formula is at one and the same time a metaphor, a model in the sense of a technical diagram, and a theoretical construct." 106...

In terms of the visual clarity of its presentation, biochemistry has still to catch up with anatomy and physiology. In this book, we sometimes use simplified ball-and-stick models instead of the classical chemical formulae. In addition, a number of compounds are represented by space-filling models. In these cases, we have tried to be as realistic as possible. The models of small molecules are based on conformations calculated by computer-based molecular modeling. In illustrating macromolecules, we used structural infor-... 

Fluorapatite (FA) corresponds to the chemical formula Caio(P04)eF2 and crystallises in the hexagonal space group PGs/m, with Z = 1 and unit-cell parameters a = b = 9.367 A and c = 6.884 A [1] (Fig. 2). From a structural viewpoint, fluorapatite is often considered as a crystalline model for other apatites and is seen as a reference apatitic array [2]. It is one of the very first apatite structures to have been solved. It has been thoroughly studied since the 1930s [3] and is well documented in the literature. In particular, Sudarsanan et al. [1] reported the single crystal refinement of X-ray diffraction (XRD) data, and the detailed description of atomic positions and local symmetry is fully available [4,5],... 

Most transition-metal cations can adopt several different oxidation states depending on the method of preparation and the compound in which they find themselves, but which oxidation state they adopt in a particular compound is not always clear from the chemical formula or from the nature of the bonding environment. Providing that the oxidation state is not zero, the bond valence model can help because the metal ligand bond can usually be described as an... 

Figure 3.5 Chemists use the structural formula to show a visual layout of the elements and bonds present in a compound. The molecular model shown here provides a three-dimensional view of the arrangement of atoms in a compound as expressed by the compound s chemical formula. For example, the molecular formula of the methane molecule above illustrates the chemical formula CH. ...
