Until now, the characterization of glycoproteins and the accompanying sample preparation have proven troublesome. Taking human serum transferrin (HST) and recombinant erythropoietin (rEPO) as examples, a possible strategy for determining oligosaccharide structures is shown below.

Although amino acids are traditionally separated on totally sulfonated cation exchangers (see Section 5.9.1), pellicular anion exchangers are also used today, especially in combination with integrated amperometric detection [303] (see Section 8.1.2.2).

Due to its glycan residues, transferrin can be separated into three differently sialylated sub-populations mono- (FI), di- (F2), and trisialylated (F3) on a pellicular anion exchanger (see Section 3.10.1) [245, 246]. After enzymatic cleavage,

The chemistry of a-metalated epoxides and aziridines (the a prefix will from now on not be included but should be assumed) has been reviewed previously [1], but in this chapter it is our intention to focus on those reactions involving them that are useful in synthesis, rather than just of pedagogical interest. Beginning with metalated epoxides, since the greater amount of work has involved them, we intend to present carefully chosen examples of their behavior that delineate the diverse nature of their chemistry. We will then move on to metalated aziridines, the chemistry of which, it will become apparent, closely mirrors that of their epoxide cousins. 

The authors then chose to examine hydrogen adsorption at Cu(110). This was a well-chosen example in that hydrogen adsorption is activated, being pressure dependent, and also was already known from LEED studies to exhibit a missing row (1 x 2) structure with every second close packed (110) copper row missing at high hydrogen pressures. What, then, was learnt from STM ... 

In this section, we look more closely at what effect the chalcogen atom has on the properties of the molecular conductors we describe. We do not attempt to review exhaustively all the chalcogen-containing components in electroactive systems, to do so would be a colossal task. Instead, carefully chosen examples and studies illustrate how chalcogen chemistry is used in the design and manipulation of electroactive materials, and ultimately how it effects suitability for molecular device applications. 

Equations would be written in matrix form for formation of all possible combinations of type 1 compounds selected one at a time from each list, using as reference the elements or compounds in proportions adequate to ensure that the dominant type 1 component is always present independently. In the chosen example sulphur is the dominant component and an S Cu ratio of 2 1 is adequate for this purpose. Equations can readily be calculated by matrix algebra for all possible reactions of the reference compounds. Eg... 

The reader will find no description of the many individual polymers studied. I have preferred to give major emphasis to the general aspects of the subject, illustrated in each instance by a few chosen examples. 

The first chosen example refers to the control of surface-supported supramolec-ular assembly by judicious distribution of substituents in porphyrin molecules (Yokoyama et al, 2001). Substituted porphyrin molecules OMBD-deposited on a Au( 111) surface form monomers, trimers, tetramers or extended wire-like structures... 

This thesis focuses on the applicability of in vitro, in vivo bioassays and bioindicators as tools for evaluating the effects of complex chemical mixtures in the process of deciding whether dredged harbour sediments can be disposed of at sea without serious adverse effects on marine ecosystem and human health. It considers the North Sea delta area in order to determine a comprehensive approach for the application of both in vitro and in vivo bioassays for hazard assessment, advanced risk assessment, and location-specific ecological impact assessment for dredged harbour sediments. To aid in the selection of appropriate, robust and reliable in vitro and in vivo bioassay and bioindication methods for these specific purposes, the uneertainty, predictability and specificity of the bioassays have been explored and the applieability in eombination with other analyses is discussed. The focus of the chosen examples is on bioassays and bioindicators for the relatively well studied dioxin-like contaminants and TBT. 

Answers will vary from person to person and depend on the thesis statement chosen. Examples of effective conclusions can be found in Lesson 7. 

We could have chosen examples involving drug delivery, agriculture, aquaculture, and production of cosmetic and personal care items with equal force and conviction. It is important for practitioners of those disciplines to continue reading this text and look for relevant applications. 

Popcorn polymers are hard, brittle, highly crosslinked porous masses, named as such because of their physical appearance. The formation of popcorn polymers in industrial polymerization processes is highly undesirable. The formation can be suppressed by suitable crosslinking inhibitors. However, in order to avoid the formation on the walls of a reactor that are mainly in contact with the gas phase, volatile crosslinking inhibitors must be chosen. Examples for volatile crosslinking inhibitors are nitric oxide and sulfur dioxide (15,16). 

As already stated in Sect. 4.3, the synthesis of block copolymers via radical reactions is generally accompanied by the formation of homopolymer. Thus, if the block copolymers are to be characterized thoroughly, the homopolymer and block copolymers must be separated. Since such separations are system-specific, they will be described in connection with the chosen examples. 

The calculations have been performed using the Amsterdam Density Functional (ADF) program package [17-21] with the choice of the functionals described in Ref. [10]. We used a triple zeta basis in all geometry optimizations. For the chosen examples the two-state approximation is valid though using an extended basis set the LUMO is well separated from higher excited MOs of the same symmetry. 

A few pragmatically chosen examples will be used to show some of the problems that are appearing with the brainchild born from the marriage of metrology and analytical chemistry that has been named traceability. Four case studies selected from the direct laboratory experience of the author will be addressed which pertain to different areas in practical analytical chemistry ... 

Many animal peptide toxins have been characterised by NMR spectroscopy, including examples from species as diverse as marine sponges to mammals. Although these peptides vary significantly in their sequence, structure and function, they do share common features, such as the structural motifs present and their activities. For example, many toxins target ion channels or have antimicrobial activity. In this section, we have chosen examples from the vast array of available peptide toxin structures to illustrate this structural and functional diversity and similarity.

The ways to simulate our chosen example, the UMDE, are described here. The integral equation approach, taken by Coen and coworkers over a number of years [167,176,177,178, 179, 180, 219] for microband electrodes, can be used on the UMDE as well [179], The reader is referred to these papers for the method. Also, although the adaptive FEM approach might be thought to be about the most efficient, and has been developed by a few workers (see above, references to Nann and Heinze, and Harriman et al), it does not seem the most popular it is not trivial to program, and as Harriman et al. found, it appears that a rather large number of nodes were required. The reason is probably that this is a kind of discretisation in the original cylindrical (A, Z)... 

We note that to determine the effectiveness factor r/, we have to solve the mass balance for reactant Ai inside the porous pellet, which for the above chosen example ( i = 1, n2 = 0) takes the following form ... 

The synthesis of vat dyes covers the full gamut of simple to complex chemistry. We have chosen examples to illustrate the broad spectrum of possible structures and synthetic methods. Emphasis is placed on anthraquinone vat dyes, because they dominate the number of commercial dyes. 

Principal components are primarily abstract mathematical entities and further details are described in Chapter 4. In multivariate calibration the aim is to convert these to compound concentrations. PCR uses regression (sometimes also called transformation or rotation) to convert PC scores to concentrations. This process is often loosely called factor analysis, although terminology differs according to author and discipline. Note that although the chosen example in this chapter involves calibrating concentrations to spectral absorbances, it is equally possible, for example, to calibrate the property of a material to its structural features, or the activity of a drug to molecular parameters. 

The developments represented by these studies now permit the facile analysis, identification, and quantification of constituents of the type described above in plant extracts, and the associated methods may also be used to help define reaction pathways and conditions for both delignification and lignin modification. To illustrate the utility of HPLC, selected examples will be discussed, as appropriate, in the accompanying text chosen examples simply reflect the author s interests and should not be misconstrued as being comprehensive. 

An additional benefit, over simply studying an article from the literature, is that in some way it removes the choice of topic. This may be important bearing in mind the natural tendency of many of us to study areas that we already know something about, thus reducing the learning curve. This book has therefore deliberately chosen examples from a wide range of synthetic targets.
