These simple examples serve to show that instinctive ideas about symmetry are not going to get us very far. We must put symmetry classification on a much firmer footing if it is to be useful. In order to do this we need to define only five types of elements of symmetry - and one of these is almost trivial. In discussing these we refer only to the free molecule, realized in the gas phase at low pressure, and not, for example, to crystals which have additional elements of symmetry relating the positions of different molecules within the unit cell. We shall use, therefore, the Schdnflies notation rather than the Hermann-Mauguin notation favoured in crystallography. 

Antibiotics have a wide diversity of chemical stmctures and range ia molecular weight from neat 100 to over 13,000. Most of the antibiotics fall iato broad stmcture families. Because of the wide diversity and complexity of chemical stmctures, a chemical classification scheme for all antibiotics has been difficult. The most comprehensive scheme may be found ia reference 12. Another method of classifyiag antibiotics is by mechanism of action (5). However, the modes of action of many antibiotics are stiU unknown and some have mixed modes of action. Usually within a stmcture family, the general mechanism of action is the same. For example, of the 3-lactams having antibacterial activity, all appear to inhibit bacterial cell wall biosynthesis.

The classification of these dmgs as antimetaboHtes stems from the mode of action as antagonists to the natural metaboHc processes leading to either DNA, RNA, or proteiu synthesis (13) (see Nucleic acids Proteins). They either inhibit function of a key en2yme involved in protein synthesis or are recmited into the cell division process as DNA synthesis terrninators. For example, methotrexate (8) is a foHc acid [59-30-3], antagonist and... 

Because of cell speciaHzation, some produces are produced in cultures of those cellular types. Three main classifications of the types of plant cell and tissue cultures are ... 

Fungi are microscopic nonphotosynthetic plants which include in their classification yeast and molds. Yeasts have a commercial value as they are used for fermentation operations in distilling and brewing. When anaerobic conditions exist, yeasts metabolize sugar, manufacturing alcohol from the synthesis of new cells. Alcohol... 

Taxonomy number The precise address of the data cell as defined by the classification scheme of the CCPS Taxonomy each successive number indicates a successively lower level in the taxonomy. 

Rather early in the evolution of bacteriology it was noted that these single-celled organisms readily stain with organic dye molecules. An elaborate classification scheme can in fact be de-... 

The classification given in Table 1.2 is based on the various forms that corrosion may take, but the terminology used in describing corrosion phenomena frequently places emphasis on the environment or cause of attack rather than the form of attack. Thus the broad classification of corrosion reactions into wet or dry is now generally accepted, and the nature of the process is frequently made more specific by the use of an adjective that indicates type or environment, e.g. concentration—cell corrosion, crevice corrosion, bimetallic corrosion and atmospheric corrosion. 

Cadherins are a superfamily of Ca2+-sensitive cell-cell adhesion molecules, which cause homophilic cell interactions. Cadherins can be divided into different subfamilies, namely, classical cadherins, desmosomal cadherins, protocadherins, and nonconventional cadherins (7TM cadherins, T-cadherin, FAT). Classical cadherins are often denoted by a prefix reflecting their principal expression domains e.g., E is epithelial, N is neuronal, and P is placental. However, this classification is not stringent, as for instance E-cadherin can also be found in certain neuronal tissues, and N-cadherin is also found in epithelial cells. Among the desmosomal cadherins, two subfamilies can be distinguished the desmocollins 1-3 and the desmogleins 1-4. 

Within the scope of this review, the contributions of the last decade concerning cell-wall polysaccharides isolated from woody and other plant tissues will be reviewed according to the above-proposed classification of hemicelluloses including larch arabinogalactans. The present review article updates and extends previous reviews [3-5] and will focus in particular on new investigated plant sources, isolation methods, structural features, physicochemical and various functional properties of hemicelluloses. Attention will also be paid to the modification of isolated hemicelluloses or hemicellulosic materials and the appHcation possibiUties of hemicelluloses and their derivatives, including their use for the production of composite materials and other biomaterials. 

More than 50 proteins have been discovered in the cytosol of nonmuscle cells that bind to actin and affect the assembly and disassembly of actin filaments or the cross-linking of actin filaments with each other, with other filamentous components of the cytoskeleton, or with the plasma membrane. Collectively, these are known as actin-binding proteins (ABPs). Their mechanisms of actions are complex and are subject to regulation by specific binding affinities to actin and other molecules, cooperation or competition with other ABPs, local changes in the concentrations of ions in the cytosol, and physical forces (Way and Weeds, 1990). Classifications of ABPs have been proposed that are based on their site of binding to actin and on their molecular structure and function (Pollard and Cooper, 1986 Herrmann, 1989 Pollard et al., 1994). These include the following ... 

The chemistry, and hence hazards, of hot, or radioactive, elements parallels that of their cold isotopes. However, the radiation poses additional toxicity hazards. A qualitative classification of selected isotopes in terms of their toxicity is given in Table 10.2. The biological effects of ionizing radiation stem mainly from damage to individual cells following ionization of the water content. Oxidizing species, e.g. hydrogen peroxide.
