Imagine two particles of the active site (for simplicity, let them be two H+ ions). Each of them is consumed in the synthesis of two conjugated reaction products. Then the conjugation determinant (the induction factor) calculated by the equation ... 

The conjugation determinant calculated from these data equals D 0.1 under optimal conditions, which indicates the induced type of cyclohexane dehydrogenation.

A further preliminary statement to this section would be that, somewhat analogously to classical physics or mechanics where positions and momenta (or velocities) are the two conjugate variables that determine the motion, moduli and phases play similar roles. But the analogy is not perfect. Indeed, early on it was questioned, apparently first by Pauli [104], whether a wave function can be constructed from the knowledge of a set of moduli alone. It was then argued by Lamb [105] that from a set of values of wave function moduli and of their rates... 

The advan tage ol a conjugate gradien t m iniim/er is that it uses th e minim i/ation history to calculate the search direction, and converges t asLer Lhan the steepest descent technique. It also contains a scaling factor, b, for determining step si/e. This makes the step si/es optimal when compared to the steepest descent lechniciue. 

In the notation of Eq. (9-29), 4 i(ri) = 1 If the U orbitals are normalized, then the spinorbitals 1 ja(l), etc. are normalized because a and P are normalized. If we take just the expanded determinant for two electrons without 1 / V2, the normalization constant, and (omitting complex conjugate notation for the moment) integrate over all space... 

The former exhibits absorption tjrpical of an isolated keto group, whereas the latter shows a high intensity -band associated with the conjugated system HO—C=C—C=0. The proportions of the two forms under various conditions are readily determined from the ultraviolet spectra. The ultraviolet spectra in various solvents are shown in Fig. A, 7, 2. Since the absorption of the keto form is negligible, the percentage of enol present is 100(em/e ), where e is the observed extinction at 245 mp. and that of the pure enol. It was shown that in alcoholic solution is 1900 and the percentage of enol is 12. Thus e is ca. 16000, and use of this value permits the approximate evaluation of the enol content in different solvents. The results are collected in Table XII. 

Determination of structural features. The ultraviolet spectrum has been of value in the determination of the structure of several vitamins. Thus the presence of an a-naphthoquinone system in vitamin K was first detected by this means. Also the 4-methylthiazole and the 2 5-dimethyl-6-aminopyridine system was first identified in vitamin Bj (thiamine), a- and /3-Ionones can be distinguished since the former contains two conjugated chromophores and the latter three conjugated chromophores. 

Determination of the dissociation constants of acids and bases from the change of absorption spectra with pH. The spectrochemical method is particularly valuable for very weak bases, such as aromatic hydrocarbons and carbonyl compounds which require high concentrations of strong mineral acid in order to be converted into the conjugate acid to a measurable extent. 

The Birch reductions of C C double bonds with alkali metals in liquid ammonia or amines obey other rules than do the catalytic hydrogenations (D. Caine, 1976). In these reactions regio- and stereoselectivities are mainly determined by the stabilities of the intermediate carbanions. If one reduces, for example, the a, -unsaturated decalone below with lithium, a dianion is formed, whereof three different conformations (A), (B), and (C) are conceivable. Conformation (A) is the most stable, because repulsion disfavors the cis-decalin system (B) and in (C) the conjugation of the dianion is interrupted. Thus, protonation yields the trans-decalone system (G. Stork, 1964B). 

In a parallel study Goursot and Wadso (322) determined calorimetri-cally the free energies, enthalpies, and entropies of dissociation of the conjugate acids of thiazoles in aqueous media (Table 1-51). 

This relationship between and Kb simplifies the tabulation of acid and base dissociation constants. Acid dissociation constants for a variety of weak acids are listed in Appendix 3B. The corresponding values of Kb for their conjugate weak bases are determined using equation 6.14. 

This same experimental approach can be used to determine the appHcabiUty of the aDAS—AP to a competitive assay for DAS. As shown in Eigure 6, increasing amounts of free DAS were used to define the 50% inhibition level (ID q) of DAS for binding of two aDAS—AP conjugates to immobilized DAS. This approach was also used to determine the sensitivity of an EIA, as well as the specificity of the assay, as shown in Table 2. Increasing amounts of trichothecene mycotoxins closely related to DAS were added to microtiter plate wells containing a constant amount of prereacted DAS—aDAS—AP. After 30 min, excess toxin and any free toxin—aDAS—AP were washed out, and substrate was added. Quantification of the color produced was directly related to the abihty of the added toxin to displace aDAS—AP from the immobilized DAS, which is an indication that the aDAS also has an avidity for that toxin. 

Owiag to incomplete halogea absorption, iodiae values for conjugated acid oils by the usual methods (Wijs, Hanus, etc) are both low and variable. The tme value of fresh tung oil, as determined by a special method (13), is 248—252 that of oiticica oil is 205—220. 

The chemical reactivity of sorbic acid is determined by the conjugated double bonds and the carboxyl group.
