Directed specificity

There are two great families of synthetic polymers, those made by addition methods (notably, polyethylene and other polyolefines), in which successive monomers simply become attached to a long chain, and those made by condensation reactions (polyesters, polyamides, etc.) in which a monomer becomes attached to the end of a chain with the generation of a small by-product molecule, such as water. The first sustained programme of research directed specifically to finding new synthetic macromolecules involved mostly condensation reactions and was master-... 

There are companies that provide full consulting and engineering services directed specifically toward predictive maintenance. These companies have the knowledge required and years of experience. They can provide all of the labor required to fully implement a full plant program and normally can reduce total time required to get the program up and running. 

The field of semiconducting and metallic polymers remains vital again and again the science and technology have moved into new directions. Specific examples of recent advances (within the 1990s) of special importance include the following ...

Thirdly, the inlet and outlet concentrations were specified such that one was fixed directly and the other determined by mass balance using flowrate and mass load. However, a number of variations are possible in the way that the process constraints on quantity (or flowrate) present themselves. For instance, it could happen that there is no direct specification of the water quantity (or flow) in a particular stream, as long as the contaminant load and the outlet concentration are observed. Furthermore, the vessel probably has minimum and maximum levels for effective operation. In that case the water quantity falls away as an equality constraints, to become an inequality constraints, thereby changing the nature of the optimization problem. 

The initial objective of this series of books has been to establish a coherent body of explanatory information on the principles and application technology of relevance for students preparing to take the Associateship examinations of the Society. This particular book has been directed specifically to the subject areas covered by Section A of Paper B the organic chemistry and application of dyes and pigments and of the auxiliaries used with them in textile coloration processes. However, many qualified chemists and colourists interested in the properties of colorants and their auxiliaries have found the First Edition useful as a work of reference. For several reasons it has been convenient to divide the material into two separate volumes 1. Colorants, 2. Auxiliaries. Although fluorescent brighteners share some features in common with colorants, they have been treated as auxiliary products in this book. 

The greatest degree of control in crosslinking procedures is afforded using heterobifunctional reagents (Chapter 5). Since a heterobifunctional crosslinker has different reactive groups on either end of the molecule, each side can be directed specifically toward different functional... 

Thus, iodoacetamide has the highest reactivity toward cysteine sulfhydryl residues and may be directed specifically for —SH blocking. If iodoacetamide is present in limiting quantities (relative to the number of sulfhydryl groups present) and at slightly alkaline pH, cysteine modification will be the exclusive reaction. For additional information on a-haloacetate reactivities and a protocol for blocking, see Section 4.2 (this chapter). 

Since the actual role of the various organics in directing specific zeolitic structures remains confusing or at least obscure, we have tried to explain the nature and the structure of the different pentasil zeolites synthesized under identical experimental... 

Section Three Is all about clarity. You will determine exactly what you want to say and how to say it in the most direct, specific, and unambiguous way. 

This selective toxicity of the larvae s weapon suggests practical applications. Western subterranean termites are economically significant pests, considered to be the most destructive of all California termites. A pesticide directed specifically against them and harmless to other creatures would be environmentally friendly and extremely useful. Exterminators could rid a house of termites without endangering the residents or destroying beneficial insects. The chemical nature of this toxin is still unknown. We can only wonder what substance can rapidly paralyze one kind of termite and leave other insects unscathed. 

While the structure of clusters responds to directionally specific electrostatic interactions, their stabilization energy reflects also the intervention of less specific dispersion interactions. This is, e.g., the case for stacked DNA base pairs. Stability of these pairs stems from dispersion energy while their structure is determined by dipole-dipole electrostatic interactions. Dispersion energy plays an important role in stabilizing clusters of biomacromolecules, where it may be the dominant attractive term. 

European Directives can be divided into three categories Framework Directive, Specific Directives, and Individual Directives. The Framework Directive 89/109/EEC applies to all materials and articles in contact with foodstulfs, such as packaging materials, forks, cups, processing machines (in... 

Type 4, contact dermatitis. A cuta-neously applied drug is bound to the surface of T-lymphocytes directed specifically against it The lymphocytes release signal molecules (lymphokines) into their vicinity that activate macrophages and provoke an inflammatory reaction. 

The importance of single-bond conformation is nevermore apparent than for polypeptides. Here, distinct local domains involving a-helices and P-sheets (among other structures) occur commonly, and these in turn dictate overall (tertiary) stmcture of proteins and ultimately protein function. Interestingly, proteins appear to exhibit well-defined shapes, that is, exist as a single conformer or a very few closely-related conformers. This is the reason that they can be crystallized and their structures determined, and is certainly a major factor behind the ability of proteins to direct specific chemical reactions. 

The meaning of the psychiatric illness to the child and his or her family should be considered. Denial and confusion about the illness may not be expressed directly. Specific points for medication education include (J) the reasons for medications being used, (2) the goals of medication and when they might be achieved (3) the common side effects and when they will emerge (4) the rare side effects and when they might emerge (5) the activities, foods, drinks, and other medications that are contraindicated or require caution (6) recommended parental response to potential side effects and (7) duration of treatment (Kutcher, 1997). 

The line-shape of this tetrahedral species does not change after evacuation of the sample or exposure to moisture, whereas upon evacuation the submonolayer tetrahedral V species detected on Si02 (7) or other oxides easily coordinate water molecules after exposure of the samples to ambient conditions and thus reform the more stable octahedral coordination. This indicates that vanadium is stabilized in nearly tetrahedral coordination by a direct specific interaction with the silicalite framework and the interaction is stronger than that observed for vanadium supported on silica. 

Adaptor proteins are, above aU, important elements for controlling the subceUular organization of Tyr and Ser phosphorylation events. Thus, many adaptor proteins contain PTB or SH2 domains that direct specific interactions with autophosphorylation sites on an activated receptor. 

We have attempted without success to show that swelling equilibria in the glassy state can be reached from more than one direction. Specifically, we have swollen the gels to equilibrium at low pH s and then reintroduced them into solutions at pH values above the critical pH. The gels fail to deswell to the same EWF as is observed when swelling is from the dry state. Examples of such deswelling curves will be found in the Sect. 6, in which these experiments will be discussed in more detail. 

A number of studies have been directed specifically at the acridine nucleus. The effect of substituents in the 9-position in acridine (V-oxides on Rf values for thin-layer chromatography (TLC) is measured by ap,198 and there is also a relation between this parameter and the N—O stretching frequencies. The effect of substituents on the basicity of acridine and the possibility of amine-ketimine tautomerism in 9-aminoacridines have been evaluated, taking quinoline as a model... 

Metalloporphyrins have been used for epoxidation and hydroxylation [5.53] and a phosphine-rhodium complex for isomerization and hydrogenation [5.54]. Cytochrome P-450 model systems are represented by a porphyrin-bridged cyclophane [5.55a], macrobicyclic transition metal cyclidenes [5.55b] or /3-cyclodextrin-linked porphyrin complexes [5.55c] that may bind substrates and perform oxygenation reactions on them. A cyclodextrin connected to a coenzyme B12 unit forms a potential enzyme-coenzyme mimic [5.56]. Recognition directed, specific DNA cleavage... 

Work directed specifically toward the study of lead poisoning of NO reduction activity is relatively scant. It was observed (82) that the reaction is particularly sensitive to lead when the active component is a noble metal such as Ru or Rh. Commercially feasible catalysts can contain only small amounts of such active components, of the order of a few hundred ppm, which may explain the observed sensitivity. 

Thus, iodoacetate has the highest reactivity toward sulfhydryl cysteine residues and may be directed specifically for—SH modification. If iodoacetate is present in limiting...
