Conjugates covalent

In addition to being hepatotoxic, bromobenzene is also nephrotoxic because of the production of reactive polyphenolic GSH conjugates, covalent binding to protein, and the production of ROS. 2-Bromophenol and 2-bromohydroquinone are both nephrotoxic metabolites of bromobenzene. Quinones are both oxidants and electrophiles, undergoing both one and two electron reduction and reaction with sulfydryl groups such as GSH and... 

Here, the antibody-antigen reactions are observed indirectly by use of labels which are attached to either the antibody or antigen. The labels can be conjugated covalently and include radioisotopes, enzymes, labeled second antibodies, fluorescent tags, luminescent molecules and phages (12, 41, 45, 48). The use of labels helps in increasing the sensitivity of the assays considerably compared to the precipitation or agglutination assays. 

Let us assume a metal or an alloy having both the quasi-free electrons and a conjugated covalent-bonded chain. We shall call the electrical conduction carried by quasi-free electron as normal and the conduction carried by covalent-bonded chain as covalon. These two mechanisms can be illustrated as follows ... 

I shall not elaborate on the triviality of this explanation but only to ask one question to the author who wrote this article (since the referee forgot to ask). If the BCS theory was correct, why then Sc, and Y, metallic elements which all have only one isotope and also have a high N(e)r (electron density of states at the Fermi level), the requirement imposed for a high Tc by the BCS theory, are not superconductors Of course, they can explain somehow. But, in the Covalon conduction theory there is no need for an explanation or no elaborate mathematical equation necessary. It can be easily understood in terms of their atomic orbital. The answer in Covalon conduction theory is simply that both elements are III-A elements in the periodic chart and their atomic orbital are not conducive in forming conjugated covalent bonds, therefore there is no Covalon conduction to lead them to superconductivity. 

Conjugation (covalent binding to antibody or avidin, for example) or noncovalent binding should not abolish enzyme activity, although it may diminish it. 

HA clearly has demonstrated its chemical utility and biocompatibility for use in medical devices and for drug formulations. The wealth of approved products using HA affords a diverse platform from which drugs can be either admixed or conjugated covalently for controlled release applications. This chapter reviews recent uses of HA for drug dehvery and controlled release applications.

A similar enhancement in luminescence intensity is obtained with the ternary APTES-[Eu(BHHCT)(dpbt)l conjugate covalently bound to Ag/SiOa nanocomposites. With a silver core diameter of 57 nm and a 12-nm silica shell, intensity enhancement of one order of...
