Multireference methods provide a straightforward way to treat excited states, since studying excited states requires the equivalent treatment of these states. Multireference methods are extensions of the single reference Hartree-Fock or configuration interaction (Cl) methods, where many configurations are used instead of a single configuration,...

The following protocol is a generalized method that summarizes the publications on the use of formaldehyde for capturing interaction proteins. The ranges indicated for concentrations of reactants and time of the reaction need to be optimized for each protein interaction studied. 

You need to use study methods that go beyond rote memorization to genuine comprehension in order to be fully prepared for your test. Using study methods that suit your learning style will help you to really learn the material you need to know for the test. One of the most important learning strategies is to be an active reader. Interact with what you are reading by... 

An ultraviolet (UV) monitor is most commonly used in CE experiment. Such interaction studies using the ACE method can also be hampered by the inadequate sensitivity of UV detection. Fluorescence labeling and laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) detection have been employed to enhance the sensitivity of this method, as shown by the mobility-shift assay of fluorescence-labeled sugar caused by the interaction with the lectin, concanavalin A (74). When fluorescent dyes are employed for labeling, LIF detection provides several hundred times more sensitivity than UV detection. 

Because of the long-range and reduced symmetry of the dipole-dipole interaction, analytical methods such as the thermodynamic perturbation theory presented in Section II.B.l. will be applicable only for weak interaction. Numerical simulation techniques are therefore indispensable for the study of interacting nanoparticle systems, beyond the weak coupling regime.

Finally, the application of computational methods to the study of catalysis continues to increase dramatically. C.G.M. Hermse and A.P.J. Jensen (Eindhoven University of Technology, the Netherlands) present a review of the kinetics of surface reactions with lateral interactions. These methods can be used in predicting catalytic reaction mechanisms. In particular, the authors discuss the role of lateral interactions in adsorbed layers at equilibrium and the determination of lateral interactions from experiments—using the simulations to interpret experimental results. This chapter illustrates the increasing use of computational methods to understand and to design catalysts. 

Traditionally protein-protein interactions studies have been performed in vitro after isolation and purification of individual proteins. While some in vivo or in situ protein-protein interaction studies can be performed by traditional methods using microinjection of purified proteins into oocytes, technical complexities limit the number of proteins that can be studied. Furthermore, many putative proteins of interest, predicted by genomic analysis, are not characterized and cannot be used in such studies. Some of the limitations posed by traditional methods have been overcome by use of yeast two-hybrid systems. These systems allow studies of many recombinant test proteins... 

Outcome of the methods used in bioinformatics allow scientists to build a global protein structural interaction map. The first developed map is called PSIMAP (Protein Structural Interactome Map). It has low resolution and allows production of a draft map for very large-scale protein interaction study. Protein maps reveal that protein structures have distinct preferences for their interacting partners and the interactions are not random. Some proteins have only one interaction partner whereas some have more. Some protein groups function as separately while others work within larger complexes. Also, many proteins possess homointeraction. 

Another commonly used method for protein-protein interaction studies is BIA-MS (123,124). Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) based biomolecular...
