The inequalities in Eq. [75] also define the condition for the generating function (Eq. [23]) to be analytic in the integration contour in Eq. [25]. This condition is equivalent to the linear connection between the diabatic free energy surfaces, Eq. [24]. The Q model solution thus explicitly indicates that the linear relation between the diabatic free energy surfaces is equivalent to the condition of thermodynamic stability of the collective nuclear mode driving ET. 

In the sense used in this chapter, generation-collection (GC) mode refers to experiments where the tip is used simply to sense redox active or electroactive species produced by the specimen under study. This usage is essentially the same as elsewhere in this volume except that the generator is a biochemical reaction or organism rather than another electrode.

Thus, in addition to the two modes of operation discussed in the previous seetion (2.5.1.1), there are two more possible modes as described in [STO 10b]. The entire collection of modes which are envisageable finally is shown in Table 2.10. Cases 2 and 4 correspond to the two previous cases, corrected by the presenee of the irreversible losses, which contribute to feeding the entropic heat demands TASrev-The two new eases are 1 and 3 they exploit only the heat generated by the inevitable irreversible losses there is no external heat source (with the exeeption of a source to vaporize the water in case 3). 

As of this writing (1996), 354 MWe of privately funded, paraboHc-trough electric generating capacity was operating in California. These trough systems operate in a hybrid mode, using natural gas. Collectively they accounted for more than 90% of worldwide solar electric capacity. The cost of these systems fell steadily from 0.24/kWh for the first 14-MW system to an estimated 0.08/kWh for the 80-MW plant installed in 1989 (5). 

One of the main attractions of normal mode analysis is that the results are easily visualized. One can sort the modes in tenns of their contributions to the total MSF and concentrate on only those with the largest contributions. Each individual mode can be visualized as a collective motion that is certainly easier to interpret than the welter of information generated by a molecular dynamics trajectory. Figure 4 shows the first two normal modes of human lysozyme analyzed for their dynamic domains and hinge axes, showing how clean the results can sometimes be. However, recent analytical tools for molecular dynamics trajectories, such as the principal component analysis or essential dynamics method [25,62-64], promise also to provide equally clean, and perhaps more realistic, visualizations. That said, molecular dynamics is also limited in that many of the functional motions in biological molecules occur in time scales well beyond what is currently possible to simulate. 

Another interesting method of amperometric detection for LC is dualelectrode electrochemical detection. Instead of a single WE, one can place two WEs in series, parallel to or opposite each other. The series configuration is mostly used, mainly in the collection mode, i.e., the electroactive substance entering the detector is converted at the upstream (generator) electrode into a product that either is or is not detected at the downstream (indicator) electrode, depending on the potential of the latter. Hoogvliet et al.137,162 were easily able... 

As we have seen before, the enzymatic reaction begins with the reversible binding of substrate (S) to the free enzyme ( ) to form the ES complex, as quantified by the dissociation constant Ks. The ES complex thus formed goes on to generate the reaction product(s) through a series of chemical steps that are collectively defined by the first-order rate constant kCM. The first mode of inhibitor interaction that can be con-... 

Data-dependent acquisition ability has been developed and incorporated into most software packages [MetaboLynx, Xcalibur, and Analyst Information Dependent Acquisition (IDA)]. In data-dependent acquisition mode, a mass spectrometer decides on the fly whether to collect MS/MS or MSn data, remain in full scan MS mode, or conduct other survey scans based upon user-defined criteria. Product ion spectra of potential metabolites can be automatically acquired in a single LC/ MS run. However, false positives may be generated due to highly intense matrix ion signals that may inadvertently trigger MS/MS or MSn scan functions.
