Many other functional silane coupling agents are available from commercial suppliers, including hydroxyl, aldehyde, acrylate and methacrylate, and anhydride compounds. Substrate modification procedures similar to those discussed above can be used with these reagents to link a biomolecule to an inorganic surface or particle. 

Add a quantity of the crosslinker solution of choice (SANH or SFB) to the antibody solution to obtain the desired molar excess of reagent over the antibody. Typically, antibody modification procedures are done with 10- to 20-fold molar excess, but for dilute antibody concentrations, this may have to be doubled, depending on how many hydrazine or aldehyde groups are desired to be introduced on the modified antibody. 

The following sections describe the major enzymatic and chemical modification procedures used to label nucleic acids and oligonucleotides. 

Nevertheless, the adsorption of alkenes can differ substantially from one zeolite to another, even for one type of zeolite, depending on the concentration of framework aluminum and the modification procedure (70). 

The standard ruthenium modification procedure involves the reaction of aquopentaammineruthenium(II) (ajRu " ) with the imidazole of a surface histidine of a protein [5, 13, 14]. The a5Ru(histidine)-modified proteins are stable in both the Ru(II) and the Ru(III) oxidation states and, although ajRu slowly dissociates from surface histidines [15], the ajRu complex stays attached for at least two months under appropriate conditions [16].

Only one of the approaches considered here, chain-extension with propylene oxide of hydroxypropyl lignins, allowed for the preparation of networks with substantial elongation at break. Typical of most polyurethanes, an increase in the elongation at break resulted in a corresponding decrease in modulus and strength. This represents the most complex modification procedure of those discussed, although process development could probably simplify this modification for adoption on industrial scale. 

Metal-substitution studies, especially those in which Co11 replaces Zn11, have proved to be an important tool in the study of zinc metalloenzymes the Con-substituted species often have activities approaching those of the Zn11 enzyme in its in vivo reaction. These modification procedures have been the subject of a recent review,1265 which, however, focusses in particular on the use of substitution-inert metal ions. A recent innovation in metal-substitution techniques is the replacement of Znn in zinc metalloenzymes by 113Cdn, which can then be examined by Cd NMR. The results of a recent such investigation1266 indicate that the u3Cdn can serve as an... 

Direct synthesis of metal-substituted zeolites has long been sought. However, since the post-synthesis modifications can be made under wide-ranging conditions (temperature, solvent, atmosphere, pH, etc.) far from those for the zeolite synthesis, the modifications of zeolites present us with powerful indirect methods for manipulating the properties of zeolites. Therefore, the fine-tuning of the properties of zeolites will continue to be achieved by developing various post-synthesis modification procedures as well as direct synthetic techniques. 

The methoxylation can be carried out by reacting silica with methanol vapor at 300-400°C, or by refluxing silica in methanol (21,36). Because the infrared spectrum of the modified surface is well understood (36) we chose to use this system as a model to test the feasibility of using Raman spectroscopy (21 ) for studying such surface modification procedures. 

Our research in this field, which is summarised in this chapter, has been directed at obtaining a sensor modified with PB as electrochemical mediator which could avoid electrochemical interferences and could also couple the advantages of the screen-printed electrodes. For this purpose, an in-depth study of the modification procedure for PB deposition on the electrode surface was first conducted and then when an optimised procedure capable of providing an efficient and stable PB layer was obtained, it was applied with screen-printed electrodes in real analytical systems. Thus, our main goal has been not only to obtain a PB modification procedure suitable for a mass production of modified screen-printed electrodes, as already pointed out above, but also to achieve a stable PB layer in terms of operative and storage stability. 

As already pointed out in our previous papers [48-50], the high stability is probably the result of the newly developed chemical modification procedure which may lead to a stronger adsorption of the PB particles on the electrode surface. In contrast to the PB layer obtained with the more commonly used electrochemical procedures, these modified electrodes are in fact more stable at basic pH and their continuous use is possible with a minimal loss of activity after several hours. Moreover, with respect to the electrochemical procedure, our chemical deposition is much more suitable for mass production since no electrochemical steps are required and a highly automated process could be adopted (see Procedure 17 in CD accompanying this book).
