In the fifty or so years since the discovery of a-metalated epoxides, our understanding of their reactivity has advanced to such a level that their use in routine organic synthesis is now possible. Many research groups continue to examine their unusual reaction pathways and to develop these into synthetically useful processes. In contrast, the chemistry of a-metalated aziridines is still in its infancy and there are undoubtedly many interesting facets of their nature still to be explored and applied in organic synthesis. 

Consequently, the research work of Hara s group continued focusing on the improvement of protein determination using CE combined with online CL detection. By replacing EY by the Rhodamine B isothiocyanate (RITC) dye in the binary complexes formed with the proteins BSA or human serum albumin (HSA) and using a different imidazole buffer solution of pH 6, the sensitivity was increased [72], However, best detection limits for these determinations were found employing the tetramethylrhodamine isothiocyanate isomer (TRITC) dye, left for 4 h with a standard solution of BSA in acetonitrile followed by introduction into the capillary. For BSA, a detection limit of 6 nM was reached [73],... 

The identification and characterization of SNPs within the human genomes is, therefore, of both academic and applied interest. Several research groups continue to map human SNPs, and over 1.5 million have thus far been identified. 

Initial clinical assessment involved some 1200 wet AMD patients. Although both control and product groups continued to experience vision loss, the rate of vision decline experienced by macugen-treated patients was significantly slower than in the case of control patients. The most frequent/potentially serious side effects noted during these trials were endophthalmitis, retinal detachment, eye inflammation/irritation and blurred vision, although rare cases of anaphylaxis have also been reported. Macugen is marketed by Eyetech Pharmaceuticals and Pfizer. 

The simple pictorial interpretation of the gem-dimethyl effect presented by Dale (1963, 1966) was based on the idea that the ease of cyclisation depends more on the conformation of the open-chain reactant than on the tension in a resulting strained ring. According to Dale (1963), a polymethylene chain tends to be straight zig-zag but, when substituted by a methyl group, it does not matter for the neighbouring C—C bond whether the chain itself or the methyl group continues in the trans-position hence the probability of a bent... 

For an r-parameter group, continuity is expressed in terms of distances in the parameter space. Two group elements R(a) and R(a ), called images of the element a, are defined to be near to each other if the distance... 

Herschlag s group continued its study of structure-function relationships in the hammerhead ribozyme using a base-rescue biochemical method. This method substitutes other atoms or molecules for bases at critical catalytic or structural positions and tests whether catalytic activity is lost. If so, the RNA bases (U, A, G, C) or a modified base (for instance, deazaguanine or 2-aminopurine substituted for guanine) is added to the solution to ascertain... 

ORIGIN OF NAME Unnilquadium follows the transitional naming system of lUPAC but originally was named "hahnium" by the Berkeley group in honor of Otto Hahn, who discovered nuclear fission. The American Chemical Society endorsed the name "hahnium" for element 105, but as the Berkeley group continued its work and more isotopes of Q Unp were formed, the lUPAC changed the name "hahnium" to "dubnium" after the city Dubna, Russia, where the first isotopes of unnilpentium were formed. 

Fig. 4. The structure of the cation of 4B, [Fe402(BICOH)2(BICO)2 (02CPh)4]showing the 40% probability thermal ellipsoids. Only the first atom of the phenyl rings is shown. BICOH stands for bis(N-methylimldazol-2-yl)carbinol. BICO is the alkoxide anion, (a) The Fe402 core iron coordination spheres and bridging benzoate groups. Continued on next page.

In the past, the boron anomaly had generally been attributed to a rapid decrease in the relative proportion of BO4 groups at 15-20 molar percent alkali oxide. However, more recent NMR and NQR studies show that the concentration of BO4 groups continues to increase up to about 40 molar percent alkali oxide and then drops off to near zero by about 70 molar percent. This means that the boron anomaly does not correlate with a sudden disappearance of BO4 groups, as previously supposed.
