Close species

Initially, it was proposed that the 5-HTjb receptor is located exclusively in the brain of the rat and some other rodents, whereas the 5-HTid receptor, a close species homolog, is specific to the guinea pig and higher mammalian species, including humans (Waeber et al., 1989). However, recent studies have characterized the 5-HTiB receptor also in the human brain (Bidmon et al., 2001 Varnas et al., 2005). The 5-HT, B receptor is linked to the inhibition of adenylate cyclase, and is located at presynaptic (5-HT axon terminals) and postsynaptic... 

Many other transition atoms simply substitute for the standard six-coordinate BH groups. Representative examples are in the seven-, eight-, nine- 45), ten-, eleven-, and twelve-vertex 50) close species displayed as V-, VI-, VII- VIII-, and 1-24 and the group IX-, X-, XI-, and XII-24, which illustrate the diversity possible. 

A great deal of information on CHCs as chemotaxonomic characters and sex pheromones is available for Drosophilidae. Several species and populations within species have been identified on the basis of hydrocarbon patterns. Studies have shown that CHCs differing between close species or populations often act as pheromones and may participate in prezy-gotic isolation. This section presents examples in which sex-pheromone polymorphism has been used as a basis for quick determination of strain/species (see Table 7.1). In section four of this chapter we deal with the possible role of pheromones in speciation. 

Insects at the interfaces between agricultural and urban pests, e.g. termites, and between medical and urban pests, e.g. flies, wasps, and cockroaches, have been extensively studied. Since morphological identification of many close species is difficult, not only at various larval stages but also at the adult stage, detection of even small differences in cuticular compounds can be useful. A full presentation of all evidence to support this claim is beyond the scope of this chapter and would be repetitive. Instead, this section presents a few typical examples in which CHC analysis has been used to study insects with economic impact in various sectors. 

Excitation of the perchlorotriphenylmethyl radical leads to analogous product formation, although in this case the final perchloro-9-phenylfluorenyl radical is believed to form initially via a charge-separated intermediate and then a ring-closed species that subsequently loses two chlorine atoms [104]. 

The potato plant (Solanum tuberosum) is bushy, sprawling, and dark green, with compound leaves that resemble those of a close species, the tomato. The leaves are arranged in a spiral around the stem, and the flowers are arranged in clusters. They are about 1-inch wide and 5-petaled, and range in color from white to pale blue to purple. The plant is completely...

There were ongoing debates in the literature whether only a ring-closed hexadentate (42-45) species exists or a minor fraction of a ring-opened aqua-pentadentate species is in equilibrium with the ring-closed species (46-50) in aqueous solutions of Ni polyaminecarbojg late complexes. 

Before considering the situation in the M(PMEA) and M(9,8aPMEA) complexes according to the equilibrium scheme (3) in more detail (see Section 3-5), it is appropriate to evaluate first the total amount of closed species, M(PA), for all four PAMigands considered (Figure 1) because evidently the sum of all the closed species, independent of their structure, is responsible for the observed stability increase. Stability enhancements like those seen in Figure 4 can be quantified by the differences between the experimentally (exptl) measured stability constants and those calculated (calcd) according to equation (11) this difference is defined in equation (12),... 

The condition for the physical chemical equivalence is the same as for the formal one, that is to say that distances should be small enough in order to consider the reactant exchange as a jump (called hopping) between spatially distributed and close species. 

The photochromic reactions schematized in Figure 14.9 and the above discussed absorption spectra allow us to explain the conformational behavior. In HFP, in the presence of TFA, the photochromic side chains are protonated by the acid either when the sample is kept in the dark (photochromic units present as open species III) or when the sample is exposed to light (photochromic units present as closed species IV). In both cases the polypeptide is essentially a polycation, so the repulsive forces among the side chains make the macromolecules adopt an extended coil conformation, and no photoresponse is observed. 

The comparison of the pressure drop of the pl ic packings Ralu-Flow No 2 PP and RSR No 2 PP, which have close speci surl s, shows that the pressure drop of the Ralu-Flow is between 23 and 40 % lower (und the loading point) than this of the coiTesponding RSR. Over the loading point the difference is bigger. 

From column 6 in Table 5 it follows that the closed species in the M(Cyd) systems reach remarkable formation degrees and that equilibrium (13) in many instances truly exists. Indeed, exceptions are only Co(Cyd) and Ni(Cyd) [35]. Furthermore, Table 5 allows some additional interesting conclusions ...
