Identical functional parents

Conjunctive nomenclature is particularly suitable for systems multiply substituted with identical functional parents but is generally used by Chem. Abstr. for any type of saturated linear monocarboxylic acid bearing a ring as substituent group. 

If two identical functional parent structures are linked by an oxygen atom the nomenclature for assemblies of identical units is used as a rule. 

A chemical name typically has four parts in the IUPAC system of nomenclature prefix, locant, parent, and suffix. The prefix specifies the location and identity of various substituent groups in the molecule, the locant gives the location of the primary functional group, the parent selects a main part of the molecule and tells how many carbon atoms are in that part, and the suffix identifies the primary functional group. 

The first satisfactory definition of crystal radius was given by Tosi (1964) In an ideal ionic crystal where every valence electron is supposed to remain localised on its parent ion, to each ion it can be associated a limit at which the wave function vanishes. The radial extension of the ion along the connection with its first neighbour can be considered as a measure of its dimension in the crystal (crystal radius). This concept is clearly displayed in figure 1.7A, in which the radial electron density distribution curves are shown for Na and Cl ions in NaCl. The nucleus of Cl is located at the origin on the abscissa axis and the nucleus of Na is positioned at the interionic distance experimentally observed for neighboring ions in NaCl. The superimposed radial density functions define an electron density minimum that limits the dimensions or crystal radii of the two ions. We also note that the radial distribution functions for the two ions in the crystal (continuous lines) are not identical to the radial distribution functions for the free ions (dashed lines). 

Starting with the semiempirical approach of Kauzmann et al. (16), Ruch and Schonhofer developed a theory of chirality functions (17,18). These amount to polynomials over a set of variables that correspond to the identity of substituents at various substitution positions on a particular achiral parent molecule. The values of the variables can be adjusted so that the polynomial evaluates to a good fit to the experimentally measured molar rotations of a homologous series of compounds (2). Thus, properties 1 and 2 are satisfied, but the variables are qualitatively distinct for the same substituent at different positions or different substituents at the same positions, violating property 3. Furthermore, there is a different polynomial for each symmetry class of base molecule. Thus, chirality functions are not continuous functions of atom properties and conformation (property 4). 

Cells are organized in a variety of ways in different living forms. Prokaryotes of a given type produce cells that are very similar in appearance. A bacterial cell replicates by a process in which two identical daughter cells arise from an identical parent cell. Simple eukaryotes can also exist as single nonassociating cells. Eukaryotes of increasing complexity can contain many cells with specialized structures and functions. For example, humans contain about 1014... 

Substituted adamantanes fall into two mass spectra classes l69 The first group includes alkyl substituents and other functions (N02, Cl, Br, COOH, COCH3) easily eliminated as neutral species from the molecular ions. The mass spectra of this group of compounds are practically identical, since they arise from decomposition of the adamantyl cation, C10H1S (Eq. (50)). The m/e 135 peak, corresponding to this ion, is the base peak, while the parent peak,... 

Mean-field theory can be used to predict the effects of mutation rate and parent fitness on the moments of the mutant fitness distribution (Voigt et al, 2000a). In this analysis, only the portion of the mutant distribution that is not dead (zero fitness) or parent (unmutated) is considered. The mutant effects are averaged over the transition probabilities without the cases of mutations to stop codons or when no mutations are made on a sequence. In order to obtain the fitness distribution, two probabilities are required (1) the probability pi(a) that a particular amino-acid identity a exists at a residue i, and (2) the transition probability that one amino acid will mutate into another Q = 1 — (1 — pm)3. The probability vectors p a) can be determined through a mean-held approach (Lee, 1994 Koehl and Delarue, 1996 Saven and Wolynes, 1997). The amino acid transition probabilities Q are calculated based on the special connectivity of the genetic code and the per-nucleotide mutation rate. Removing transitions to stop codons and unmutated sequences only requires the proper normalization of the probabilities pi and the moments. For example, the first moment of the fitness improvement w of the uncoupled fitness function is written as...
