Normal retention

A means for normalizing retention times by comparing a solute s retention time with those for normal alkanes. 

The minimum value of (specific column can be assumed to be equal to the ratio of the retention distance of the first peak plus its width at the base, to its normal retention distance. This assumption premises that resolution is satisfactory when the peak maxima are separated by 4a. 

Equation (25) can be extended to provide a general equation for a column equilibrated with (q) solutes at concentrations Xi, X2, X3,...Xq. For any particular solute (S), if its normal retention volume is Vr(S) on a column containing (n) plates, then from the plate theory, the plate volume of the column for the solute (S), i.e., (vs) is given by...

In terms of records in electronic format, the requirements are much the same as for paper records. There will be some extra work involved if the final record is in an electronic format. The integrity of records has to be maintained over the normal retention period. This can pose a problem for electronic records because not only has the integrity to be maintained but the readability also has to be assured. It may be necessary to move/transfer the records to a new/different system. Every five years, or as recommended by the media manufacturer, it is reasonable to check the stored tapes and transfer the information to a new tape. There should be checks built into the transfer process to ensure that the integrity of the material is retained. It is important that this process is validated to ensure that there is no loss of information or changes to the data.

Tropane Alkaloids.—It is known that tropine (26) is a precursor for meteloidine (27),42 and its close relative hyoscyamine (29) is a precursor for scopolamine (28).43 Experiments with samples of (26) labelled with /3-tritium at C-6 and C-7 show that entry of the two /S-hydroxy-groups in (27) must occur with normal retention of configuration since almost complete loss of tritium occurred.44 Tritium was again lost almost completely on formation of scopolamine (28). On the assumption that early conclusions45 on the sequential intermediacy of (30) and (31) in the biosynthesis of (28) are correct, formation of (30) involves normal retention of configuration (loss of half the tritium) and cis-dehydration then occurs to give (31) (loss of remaining tritium). [In these experiments the hyoscyamine (29) isolated showed appropriately no loss of tritium.]44... 

Using chirally tritiated samples of the protoberberine (67) it has been established that hydroxylation of (67) to give (68) occurs with loss of the 13-pro-R hydrogen atom, i.e. normal retention of configuration, and does not involve an enamine intermediate since tritium is not lost from C-14 during the course of this biotransformation.62 It is to be noted that similar results, associated with C-13, have been observed61 for narcotine (63) and chelidonine (62) biosynthesis, except that here the 13-pro-S proton is removed. 

Conflict exists in deciding on the stereochemical course of the hydroxylation at C-2 of, e.g., norpluviine (100), which leads to lycorine (104). One set of results indicates that hydroxylation occurs with normal retention of configuration82 whereas the other set, obtained in a different plant, indicates that the reaction occurs with unusual inversion of configuration.83 The conversion of [2/8-3H, 9-OMe - 14C]pluviine [as (101)] into galanthine (103), in King Alfred daffodils, with retention of 79% of the tritium label confirms that the hydroxylation of C-2 may occur with inversion of configuration.80... 

Further exploration125 of the stereochemistry associated with modification of the steroidal side-chain into that of steroidal alkaloids such as solanidine (139) and tomatidine (140) has revealed that on formation of the furan ring in (140) tritium in the 16/8-configuration of cholesterol [as (143)] is retained but appears now in the 16a-configuration. Retention of the tritium excludes a C-16-oxo-intermediate, and the fact that an inversion of configuration is observed excludes hydroxylation with normal retention of configuration. Examination of the fate of the cholesterol 16/S-proton on incorporation into solanidine (139) revealed that during solanidine biosynthesis this proton is lost.

In general fairly long degradation times are reported compared to normal retention times in treatmerrt plants. 

The epoxide (86) has been tentatively invoked to explain the unusual hydroxy-lation with inversion of configuration at C-2 of norpluviine (84) which leads to lycorine (85) in daffodils. (In Clivia miniata on the other hand hydroxylation occurs with normal retention of configuration ). It was considered that an analogous epoxide (87) could give narcissidine (88) in the manner shown by loss... 

Proteins were adsofbed to a BioCd TSK-phenyl 3PW eolunin (BioRad) in 1.7 M ammonia tulftte, 0.1 M sodium phos iate, pH 7.0, and duted with a d0 min linear gradient from the same solvent to one of only 0.1 M sodium phosphate, pH 7.0. Relative hydiophobicitywasdelermioed from the normalized retention time under these gradient conditions. A value of 1.0 would indicate elution at the end of the gra ent, i.e.. moit hydrophoble. 

The retention factor k is measured as the retention time of an analyte minus the retention time of an unretained peak divided by the retention time of the unretained peak. It is a convenient way to normalize retention for comparison of difierent colunms or the same column at difieient flow rates ...

Poor sensitivity with normal retention time. 

Normally, retention of surfaetants, which involves adsorption, precipitation, and phase trapping, has been regarded as one of the main factors for the unfavorable economics in chemical flooding. Adsorption at the solid-hquid interface should be at minimum and be the only retention mechanism for a properly designed surfactant system for a Type II( —) phase behavior. Commercial products of actual surfactants are poly-disperse in the PO and EO groups, and mixtures of them are potential flooding chemicals. 

The third group of alkaloids which arise from norbelladine 6.180) this time by para-para phenol oxidative coupling, is exemplified by haemanthamine 6.187)., and biosynthesis is proved to be by way of compounds of type 6.186). Haemanthamine 6.187) shows an extra hydroxy-group at C-11, which has been shown to arise by hydroxylation with normal retention of configuration [139, 140].

(B) Control human placental DNA Findings for human placental DNA digest include (24 hour autoradiogram) 1. Normal retention times of all radiolabeled monophosphates to cold UV-markers. Autoradiogram demonstrates, in clockwise position, the major bases of DNA as their deoxyribo-nucleotides adenine (Retention factor and coordinates Rf] x,y -cm = 2.7,11.2), thymine (R/= 7.5,10.0), guanine (Rf= 3.6, 5.5), and cytosine (R/= 12.8, 14.9). After 72 hours of autoradiography, four additional minor spots were more clearly visible S-me-dAMP, two spots close to dCMP representing S-me-dCMP (proximate to dCMP), and dUMP (arrow). Human placental DNA is essentially devoid of methylated bases and dUMP, not surprising in rapidly dividing cells, repair induced and efficient cells.

Bearing m mind these limitations in interpreting N-retention data in growing subjects, all that can justifiably be done at the present time is to point out a fairly wide range of normal retentions at different ages.
