In solid state materials, single-step electron transport between dopant species is well known. For example, electron-hole recombination accounts for luminescence in some materials [H]. Multistep hopping is also well known. Models for single and multistep transport are enjoying renewed interest in tlie context of DNA electron transfer [12, 13, 14 and 15]. Indeed, tliere are strong links between tire ET literature and tire literature of hopping conductivity in polymers [16]. 

As an example for an efficient yet quite accurate approximation, in the first part of our contribution we describe a combination of a structure adapted multipole method with a multiple time step scheme (FAMUSAMM — fast multistep structure adapted multipole method) and evaluate its performance. In the second part we present, as a recent application of this method, an MD study of a ligand-receptor unbinding process enforced by single molecule atomic force microscopy. Through comparison of computed unbinding forces with experimental data we evaluate the quality of the simulations. The third part sketches, as a perspective, one way to drastically extend accessible time scales if one restricts oneself to the study of conformational transitions, which arc ubiquitous in proteins and are the elementary steps of many functional conformational motions. 

The manufacture of vitreous sihca by flame hydrolysis can be a single- or multistep process. In the single-step process, sihca particles are formed and... 

An excellent alternative route to 5,6-seco-acids of general structure (69) has been used by Knof to prepare B-norsteroids. Although the single-step chromium trioxide oxidation process described in section III-A is convenient when starting materials are readily available and relatively low yields are acceptable, the multistep Knof process may be preferred when high yields are important or when a sensitive functionality is present. 

If a reaction system consists of more than one elementary reversible reaction, there will be more than one relaxation time in general, the number of relaxation times is equal to the number of states of the system minus one. (However, even for multistep reactions, only a single relaxation time will be observed if all intermediates are present at vanishingly low concentrations, that is, if the steady-state approximation is valid.) The relaxation times are coupled, in that each relaxation time includes contributions from all of the system rate constants. A system of more than... 

When placing multiple jobs within a single input file, it is imperative that the final section of each job end with a blank line, a requirement that is not always strictly enforced for single-step jobs. If you want to run a single job from a multistep input file, you must copy the relevant lines to a new file, and then execute Gaussian 94 using the new file. 

The synthesis problem above is a multistep synthesis problem, because we do not have a single reaction that allows us to do this transformation in just one step. So the best way to start is to first look at the product and work our way backward. 

The objective of traditional multistep synthesis is the preparation of a single pure compound, but combinatorial synthesis is designed to make many related molecules.57 The purpose is often to have a large collection (library) of compounds for evaluation of biological activity. A goal of combinatorial synthesis is structural diversity, that is, systematic variation in subunits and substituents so as to explore the effect of a range of structural entities. In this section, we consider examples of the application of combinatorial methods to several kinds of compounds. 

The present chapter will cover detailed studies of kinetic parameters of several reversible, quasi-reversible, and irreversible reactions accompanied by either single-electron charge transfer or multiple-electrons charge transfer. To evaluate the kinetic parameters for each step of electron charge transfer in any multistep reaction, the suitably developed and modified theory of faradaic rectification will be discussed. The results reported relate to the reactions at redox couple/metal, metal ion/metal, and metal ion/mercury interfaces in the audio and higher frequency ranges. The zero-point method has also been applied to some multiple-electron charge transfer reactions and, wheresoever possible, these results have been incorporated. Other related methods and applications will also be treated. 

The relative yields of the photoproducts Fe(CO)4, Fe(CO)3, and Fe(CO)2 were strongly wavelength dependent, and the relative amount of Fe(CO)2 increased as shorter wavelength uv light was used. The formation of all of these photoproducts appeared to involve absorption of only a single uv photon by a molecule of Fe(CO)5 (46,68,75). This is quite different from photochemistry in a matrix. When Fe(CO)3 and Fe(CO)2 are produced photolytically from matrix-isolated Fe(CO)5, one uv photon is required to remove each CO group, and the formation of the lower carbonyl species is a multistep process (87,88). 

Labelling experiments provided the evidence that the Fe1- and Co1-mediated losses of H2 and 2H2 from tetralin are extremely specific. Both reactions follow a clear syn- 1,2-elimination involving C(i)/C(2) and C(3)/C(4), respectively. In the course of the multistep reaction the metal ions do not move from one side of the rr-surface to the other. The kinetic isotope effect associated with the loss of the first H2 molecule, k( 2)/k(Y)2) = 3.4 0.2, is larger than the KIE, WFLj/ATHD) = 1.5 0.2, for the elimination of the second H2 molecule. A mechanism of interaction of the metal ion with the hydrocarbon n-surface, ending with arene-M+ complex 246 formation in the final step of the reaction, outlined in equation 100, has been proposed241 to rationalize the tandem MS studies of the unimolecular single and double dehydrogenation by Fe+ and Co+ complexes of tetraline and its isotopomers 247-251. 

Keratinocyte growth factor is a 140 amino acid, 16.3 kDa member of the FGF family. It differs from native keratinocyte growth factor in that the first 23 N-terminal amino acids have been deleted, which improves its stability. After cell growth the product is recovered and purified by a multistep chromatographic protocol. It is presented in lyophilized format in single-use vials and containing mannitol, sucrose, polysorbate 20 and histidine as excipients. It is administered by daily i.v. injection, usually for several days.
