CTP

Since ai is usually regarded as independent of the substituent, the inconstancy of ct (see the values quoted above), particularly as between positively charged, and neutral substituents, must arise either from variation of ctp, or of x, or of both quantities.

Transgenic soybean plants expressing the CTP-CP4 EPSPS display commercial levels of Roundup tolerance. These results vaUdate the importance of substrate kinetics of EPSPS in order to maintain adequate rates of aromatic biosynthesis. Furthermore, the fact that glyphosate tolerance can be obtained by expression of a glyphosate-tolerant EPSPS illustrates that the herbicidal mode of action of glyphosate is related solely to inhibition of the EPSPS reaction. 

Retarders. The purpose of vulcanization retarders is to delay the initial onset of cure in order to guarantee sufficient time to process the unvulcanized mbber. Three main classes of materials are used commercially, including organic acids and anhydrides, cyclohexylthiophthalimide (Santogard PVI or CTP), and a sulfenamide material (Vulkalent E). 

The thiophthalimide (CTP) and sulfenamide classes of retarders differ from the organic acid types by thek abiUty to retard scorch (onset of vulcanization) without significantly affecting cure rate or performance properties. Much has been pubUshed on the mechanism of CTP retardation. It functions particularly well with sulfenamide-accelerated diene polymers, typically those used in the the industry. During the initial stages of vulcanization, sulfenamides decompose to form mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT) and an amine. The MBT formed reacts with additional sulfenamide to complete the vulcanization process. If the MBT initially formed is removed as soon as it forms, vulcanization does not occur. It is the role of CTP to remove MBT as it forms. The retardation effect is linear with CTP concentration and allows for excellent control of scorch behavior. 

Another commercially available retarder for sulfur vulcanization is based on an aromatic sulfenamide. Like CTP, this product is most effective ki sulfenamide cure systems, but it also works well ki thiazole systems. Performance properties are generally not affected except for a slight modulus kicrease. In some cases this feature allows for the use of lower levels of accelerator to achieve the desked modulus with the added potential benefits of further scorch delay and lower cost cure system (23). 

Research on an hCG vaccine has been conducted over the past 15 years. WHO has conducted a phase I clinical study in AustraUa, using a vaccine based on a synthetic C-terminal peptide (109—141) of P-hCG conjugated to Diptheria Toxoid (CTP-DT), that showed potentially effective contraceptive levels of antibodies were produced in vaccinated women without any adverse side effects. Phase II clinical studies are under consideration to determine if the immune response, raised to its prototype anti-hCG vaccine, is capable of preventing pregnancy in fertile women volunteers (115). While research on the C-terminal peptide from the P-subunit of hCG has been carried out under the auspices of WHO, research supported by the Population Council and the National Institutes of Health has involved two alternative vaccine candidates (109,116,118). 

Hay and Pasquill (5) and Cramer (6, 7) have suggested the use of fluctuation statistics from fixed wind systems to estimate the dispersion taking place within pollutant plumes over finite release times. The equation used for calculating the variance of the bearings (azimuth) from the point of release of the particles, cTp, at a particular downwind location is... 

Phosphatidylethanolamine synthesis begins with phosphorylation of ethanol-amine to form phosphoethanolamine (Figure 25.19). The next reaction involves transfer of a cytidylyl group from CTP to form CDP-ethanolamine and pyrophosphate. As always, PP, hydrolysis drives this reaction forward. A specific phosphoethanolamine transferase then links phosphoethanolamine to the diacylglycerol backbone. Biosynthesis of phosphatidylcholine is entirely analogous because animals synthesize it directly. All of the choline utilized in this pathway must be acquired from the diet. Yeast, certain bacteria, and animal livers, however, can convert phosphatidylethanolamine to phosphatidylcholine by methylation reactions involving S-adenosylmethionine (see Chapter 26).

HCV polymerase that carried the S282T mutation did no longer incorporate 2 -C-methyl-CTP during the initiation step of RNA synthesis (Dutartre et al. 2006). The presence of the S282T mutation induces a general reduction (5-20-fold) in terms of polymerase efficiency (Dutartre et al. 2006), which may translate to decreased viral fitness (Ludmerer et al. 2005).
