Methylation (linkage) analysis To determine linkages between sugars. 

Polymorphic markers are not always informative about linkage phase. For example, what would happen if the parents in generation 1 of Figure II-6-1 both had the 1,3 genotype (A moment s thought should reveal that we cannot determine linkage phase in this case.)... 

The coulombic forces determine linkage of a donor to an acceptor, and vice versa. In other words, direct covalent bonding of a donor or acceptor to another atom of its kind is unfavorable.

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is an invaluable instrumental technique for the structural determination of all flavonoids including 3-deoxy-anthocyanins. As well as providing information on the chemical environment of each proton or carbon nucleus in the molecule, the technique can be employed to determine linkages among nearby nuclei, often enabling a complete structure to be assembled. The reader is referred to Refs. 44 and 45 for details of the principles of NMR and general interpretation of NMR spectra. 

Following on from the one-dimensional proton and carbon spectra, the next step is to employ more sophisticated two-dimensional (2D) NMR techniques to help determine linkages within the molecule. In most of these experiments the instrument automatically combines the results of these experiments and the data... 

The number of ethylenic linkages In a given compound can be established with accuracy by quantitative titration with perbenzoic acid. A solution of the substance ajid excess of perbenzoic acid in chloroform is allowed to stand for several hours at a low temperature and the amount of unreacted perbenzoic acid in solution is determined a blank experiment is run simultaneously.

The next step is to develop a method to determine the overall reUabiUty and failure probabiUty for systems constmcted of a variety of individual components. This requires an understanding of how components are linked. Components are linked either in series or in parallel. For series linkages, overall failure results from the failure of any of the components. For parallel linkages, all of the components must fad. An example of a series linkage is an automobde. The car is disabled if a flat occurs in any one of the four tires. This situation is linked in parallel to the spare tire. The car is completely disabled oidy if a flat occurs and the spare tire is flat. 

The importance of steric effects in determining the oxidation state of the product can be illustrated by a thioether linkage, eg (57). If a methyl group is forced to be adjacent to the sulfur bond, the planarity required for efficient electron donation by unshared electrons is prevented and oxidation is not observed (48). Similar chemistry is observed in the addition of organic nitrogen and oxygen nucleophiles as well as inorganic anions. 

The often fast binding step of the inhibitor I to the enzyme E, forming the enzyme inhibitor complex E-I, is followed by a rate-determining inactivation step to form a covalent bond. The evaluation of affinity labels is based on the fulfillment of the following criteria (/) irreversible, active site-directed inactivation of the enzyme upon the formation of a stable covalent linkage with the activated form of the inhibitor, (2) time- and concentration-dependent inactivation showing saturation kinetics, and (3) a binding stoichiometry of 1 1 of inhibitor to the enzyme s active site (34). 

By noting the amount of chlorine that could be removed in this way they were able to determine whether the polymer was formed by head-to-tail linkage (Figure 12.10(a)) or head-head and tail-tail linkage (Figure 12.10(b)).
