Homologous Systems

The system in question is weakly nonuniform in that ky do not span a wide range that is, ky = k + ij with = max ij = max kijk 1 where km is a mean rate constant. Explicit expressions for C f) in a PFR and CSTRs have been obtained via perturbation about the equal-reactivity limit.As expected, an overall second-order kinetics appear at lowest order. With no more than three terms the perturbation series is accurate for e at least as high as 0.5. Upper and lower bounds for C t) and c,(r) have also been derived. The same approach can be used for systems in which the coupling is weak, that is,

With this in mind, a system of logical equations (below, left) can be translated into a homologous system of differential equations (below, right) as follows ... 

The rationale for developing heterologous expression systems to study viral assembly and structure is rooted in the many limitations and challenges that a homologous system may present. These include poor... 

Inspection of empirical formulas and the corresponding structures of starting material and product reveals that III is solely a dimer of I. Two important facts, however, conspire against this outer-layer simplicity. First, if the deep-blue compound I is allowed to dimerize by itself (and this in fact occurs in solution), the colorless dimeric structure IV (but not III) results. Second, there is an enamine in the medium, which obviously makes the difference. The role of this enamine should not be taken lightly, particularly if the conjugation of the sulfur atoms in I imbues this compound with a behavior reminiscent of oxygen homolog systems, that is, quinonoids. The exocyclic double bond is amenable to a Michael-type 1,4 addition by suitable nucleophiles while the thioketone sulfur is potentially a nucleophilic center (see Scheme 28.1). 

Intramolecular alkylations of epoxides at rp -centers are also possible thus treatment of the epoxyamide (173) with i-butyllithium affords moderate to good yields of the dihydiobenzofurans (174). However, the homologous system (175) is converted into the tetralin framework (176) rather than to an indan derivative, with the magnesium bromide presumably serving to activate the epoxide. Under similar conditions, the styrene oxide (177) is converted into the benzocyclobutanol (178) presumably by...

Chapter 4 describes the generation of vapor-liquid and liquid-liquid equilibria data using analytical correlations based on physical properties. It will be seen that correlations based solely on properties of pure components are successful only for homologous systems when molecular size differences are small and interactions among like molecules are similar to the interactions among unlike molecules. For mixtures of liquid n-hexane and n-octane, for example, we might correctly predict that the components will be miscible, and bubble- and dew-... 

Recent data, published and unpublished, provide strong evidence that the common views on the reaction mechanism of the MTH reaction are not tenable. The data rather point to ethene and propene formation from an adsorbate hydrocarbon pool, probably of aromatic nature. There are strong indications that the catalytic cycle is based on arenes that are continually methylated by methanol/dimethyl ether, and dealkylations leading to ethene, propene and most likely also isobutene via molecular rearrangements. Penta- and hexamethylbenzene appear prone to undergo this reaction. However, there is also clear evidence that higher alkenes, if present in substantial amount, may take part in the classical homologation system. 

In Figure 19.10, the special pair is shown at the top of the photosystem, while in Figures 19.13 and 19.20 the special pair is shown at the bottom. What does this difference imply Why aren t these homologous systems all shown in the same orientation ... 

Figure 4. Quantitative precipitin reactions between the mannan subfractions (Batch II) and antisera of three C. albicans strains and S. cerevisiae (A) anti-C. albicans NIH A-207 (A-strain) serum (B) anti-C. albicans NIH B-792 (B-strain) serum (C) anti-C. albicans J-1012 (J-strain) serum (D) anti-S. cerevisiae serum. Mannan subfractions are of (O) A-strain (0) B-strain (A) J-strain (A) S. cerevisiae. Dilutions of anti-S. cerevisiae serum are homologous system, X 6 heterologous system, X 1 5.

As observed before with pig adrenodoxin. HTR is able to promote the light activation of NADP- MDH. Replacing the plant type thioredoxin m by an animal thioredoxin results in a deaeased NADP- MDH light activation (30% compared to an homologous system). Moreover, the optimal concentration (around 40 pM) is higher than the one of spinach thioredoxin m (around 10 (lM).
