Cooperativity index

Fig. 2. Hill plot for oxygenation of human hemoglobin A as a function of the partial pressure (PO2) of molecular oxygen. The diagram at the right shows that the Hill coefficient will reach a limiting value of one at both extremes of ligand concentration. For this reason this cooperativity index is best measured at ligand concentrations near half-maximal saturation.

The shape of the v versus [S] curve can be expressed in terms of the ratio of substrate concentration required for any two fractions of for example, 0.9 and 0.1 Vm,x- This ratio, called the cooperativity index, depends on the value of n as shown below. 

The domain of oscillations in parameter space decreases in the model when the cooperativity index n goes from 4 to 2, and then to 1. This shows that if the cooperativity of repression favours periodic behaviour, multiple phosphorylation of PER, by introducing a series of delays. 

Note The cooperative index (R,) refers to the ratio of two ligand concentrations to produce 90% (S90) mid 10% (Sio) fractional saturation (Koshland et al, 1965).

Strkcttire inflkence. The specificity of interphase transfer in the micellar-extraction systems is the independent and cooperative influence of the substrate molecular structure - the first-order molecular connectivity indexes) and hydrophobicity (log P - the distribution coefficient value in the water-octanole system) on its distribution between the water and the surfactant-rich phases. The possibility of substrates distribution and their D-values prediction in the cloud point extraction systems using regressions, which consider the log P and values was shown. Here the specificity of the micellar extraction is determined by the appearance of the host-guest phenomenon at molecular level and the high level of stmctural organization of the micellar phase itself. 

On the basis of data obtained the possibility of substrates distribution and their D-values prediction using the regressions which consider the hydrophobicity and stmcture of amines was investigated. The hydrophobicity of amines was estimated by the distribution coefficient value in the water-octanole system (Ig P). The molecular structure of aromatic amines was characterized by the first-order molecular connectivity indexes ( x)- H was shown the independent and cooperative influence of the Ig P and parameters of amines on their distribution. Evidently, this fact demonstrates the host-guest phenomenon which is inherent to the organized media. The obtained in the research data were used for optimization of the conditions of micellar-extraction preconcentrating of metal ions with amines into the NS-rich phase with the following determination by atomic-absorption method.

In carrying out this revision we have made substantial alteration to Chapters 1, 5, 6, 7, 12, 13 and 15 and have taken the opportunity of presenting the volume paged separately from Volume 1. The revision has been possible only as the result of the kind cooperation and help of Professor J. D. Thornton (Chapter 12), Mr. J. Porter (Chapter 13), Mr. K. E. Peet (Chapter 10) and Dr. B. Waldie (Chapter 1), all of the University at Newcastle, and Dr. N. Dombrowski of the University of Leeds (Chapter 15). We want in particular to express our appreciation of the considerable amount of work carried out by Mr. D. G. Peacock of the School of Pharmacy, University of London. He has not only checked through the entire revision but has made numerous additions to many chapters and has overhauled the index.
