This classification has its origins in the observation that cations fall into two categories with respect to the thermodynamic stabilities of their complexes formed in aqueous solution with halide ions. Class (a) cations M"+(aq) form complexes MX(" 1)+(aq) such that the equilibrium constant K = [MX("-1)+(aq)]/[M"+(aq)][X (aq)] follows the sequence ... 

Consistent with the definition of hard and soft metal ions see Hard Soft Acids and Bases) based on the nature of the stable complexes that they form with different ligand donor atoms, these metal ions behave similarly toward donor atoms of nucleic acids and their derivatives (Figure 8). Hard monovalent cations (M+) usually interact with nucleic acid polyanions only in a diffuse ion atmosphere manner, whereas hard and borderline polyvalent (M- +) cations can form both outer- and inner-sphere complexes. Soft metal ions tend to form inner-sphere complexes, however. Hard metal ions (class A) prefer O-donor ligands (usually phosphate oxygens), while soft ones (class B) prefer N-donor atoms of the nucleic acid bases as well as S atoms... 

Class B ions are more toxic than borderline ions, which are more toxic than class A ions. Class B ions are most effective at binding to SH groups (of cysteine) and to nitrogen centers (e.g., lysine, histidine). 

Figure 7.19 shows the density profile of the main ions and ion classes measured by Kopp and Herrmann (1984) above Red Lake (Ontario, Canada) on 24 February 1979. As indicated above, NO+ and are the dominant ions above approximately 80 km, while proton hydrates are the most abundant positive ions below this altitude. The density profiles of each individual proton hydrate (hydration orders 1 to 4), measured during the same experiment, are shown in Figure 7.20. 

In mammalians these metallothioneins normally possess chain lengths of 61 amino acids, of which 20 are invariant cysteines residues [58,316], These 20 residues participate in the binding of the up to twelve metal ions. Class II metallothioneins show little or no phylogenetic homology to the metallothioneins of class I, for instance, in sea urchins [317] and yeast [318]. Class III metallothio-... 

In the BzzMath library, the BzzNonL inearRegress ion class is dedicated to parameters estimation of a nonlinear model. 

An object from the BzzNonL InearRegress ion class has numerous constructors and functions that allow the most appropriate criterion to estimate the parameters according to the kind of model available to be selected. 

An object from the BzzNo IL inearRegress ion class includes numerous constructors and functions that allow us to select the most appropriate criterion to estimate the model parameters. In the following example, the target is to minimize the deviation between the mathematical model and the experimental data. The function where the dependent variables are calculated must have the following argument ... 

The task of an object of the BzzF In iteE lementPo IntsForHerm itePo ly -nom la 1 class is to initialize all the vectors and matrices needed to estimate the values of the variables in the necessary points inside the BzzP iecew iseHerm i-tePo lynom la linterpo lat ion class.

The widely applied Nieboer and Richardson (1980) tabulation of these metal ions classes is summarized in Table 1.1. The general trend in bond stability of the class (a) metal ions with various ligand donor atoms is O > N > S and that for class (b) metal ions is S>N>0 (Nieboer and Richardson 1980). Borderline metal ions are more complex, having binding tendencies intermediate between class (a) and (b) metals. Interactions between the hard class (a) metal ions and ligands tend to be ionic in... 

An estimate of human is also required for the model for the proposes of this analysis, the output from a QSAR model based on the human data collated by Obach, Lombardo, and Waters [70] for each compound was used. In the absence of such a model, a generic value can be assigned according to the ion class category of each compoimd (acid, base, neutral, or zwitterion), based on the median values from this data set (2.9 1/kg, 1.3 1/kg, 0.2 1/kg, and 1.2 1/kg for bases, neutrals, acids, and zwitterions, respectively).
