Molecular inventory

The Sun formed some 4.5 Gyr ago (Gyr is a Gigayear or 109 years) from its own gas cloud called the solar nebula, which consisted of mainly hydrogen but also all of the heavier elements that are observed in the spectrum of the Sun. Similarly, the elemental abundance on the Earth and all of the planets was defined by the composition of the solar nebula and so was ultimately responsible for the molecular inventory necessary for life. The solar system formed from a slowly rotating nebula that contracted around the proto-sun, forming the system of planets called the solar system. Astronomers have recently discovered solar systems around...

The use of artificial cells for biotechnology applications is simplified if the replication and reproduction characteristics are removed so that an artificial cell does one particular job. A liposome structure would continue to uptake molecules from the environment and synthesise proteins or cofactors, but the molecular inventory within the liposome is comparatively small. 

To begin with, we should have a complete molecular inventory that is, we need a list of all the molecules in the cell, together with the amount of each molecule present. We do not have a good molecular inventory for any cell, though we do have a great deal of relevant information and more is being rapidly generated.

Inosine 5 -Monophosphate Dehydrogenase. A series of 21 known inosine 5 -monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH) inhibitors was used to validate a virtual screening protocol. By application of a molecular weight filter (80 < MW < 400), 3425 compounds were extracted from an in-house reagent inventory system. Docking of these compounds into a substrate-IMPDH complex 3D structure was performed with the program FlexX three...

Which orbitals hold these lone pairs We answer this question by taking an inventory of the valence orbitals. For the inner atom, the s hybrid orbitals account for the 2 S orbital and the two 2 p orbitals that lie in the plane of the molecule, and the third p orbital, perpendicular to the molecular plane, is part of n system. All of the valence orbitals of the inner oxygen atom are accounted for. For each outer atom, one p orbital in the plane of the page contributes to the a bonds, and the p orbital perpendicular to the plane of the page is part of the n system. The remaining valence orbitals on each outer atom are the 2. S orbital and the 2 orbital that lies in the molecular... 

There are some variations in the composition of chemical clouds as they evolve in time from dark clouds such as TMC-1 to giant molecular clouds such as Orion where the presence of light from young stars initiates photochemistry. The Orion molecular cloud chemical inventory contains several saturated species such as ethanol (CH3CH2OH) and its CN analogue (CH3CH2CN), the simplest carboxylic acid (CH3COOH, acetic acid) and methylamine (CH3 NH2). 

There are some advantages of the temporal models of cloud chemistry associated with the concentrations of molecules at different times. Can we learn about the age of the cloud by its chemical composition or the age of an embedded star by the chemistry observed towards the object Can the molecular environment be understood from the inventory of chemicals Are there chemical diagnostics for planetary formation, star formation or even black holes All of these questions are at the frontier of Astrochemistry. 

Clearly some molecular processing occurs in the coma to produce larger molecules such as methanol, formaldehyde and more complex still, but the detection and identification of bigger molecules are limited by the sensitivity and resolution of the instruments. The inventory, however, is probably a guide to an untold story...

Since PTT is a new commercial product, the Shell Chemical Company, as the company which first introduced it to the market, took the responsibility of product stewardship [112], and registered the polymer on the chemical inventory lists in several countries. As a high-molecular-weight polymer, PTT is biologically inactive and requires safe handling like many other commercial polymers.
