The use of mass spectrometry for the analysis of peptides, proteins, and enzymes has been summarized. This chapter should be read in conjunction with others, including Chapter 45, An Introduction to Biotechnology, and Chapters 1 through 5, which describe specific ionization techniques in detail. 

Once a fire has started, control of the fire can be accomplished in several ways through water systems (by reducing the temperature), carbon dioxide or foam systems (by limiting oxygen), or through removal of the substrate (by shutting off valves or other controls). Chapter 4 provides detailed discussion on the theories of fire and specific information on hydrocarbons, as well as chemical specific fire characteristics. 

T"he extraordinary ability of an enzyme to catalyze only one particular reaction is a quality known as specificity (Chapter 14). Specificity means an enzyme acts only on a specific substance, its substrate, invariably transforming it into a specific product. That is, an enzyme binds only certain compounds, and then, only a specific reaction ensues. Some enzymes show absolute specificity, catalyzing the transformation of only one specific substrate to yield a unique product. Other enzymes carry out a particular reaction but act on a class of compounds. For example, hexokinase (ATP hexose-6-phosphotransferase) will carry out the ATP-dependent phosphorylation of a number of hexoses at the 6-posi-tion, including glucose. 

Organic chemistry is blessed with a large number of books devoted to a thorough coverage of a specific area. Many of these are essentially very long review articles, differing from ordinary review articles only in size and scope. Some of the books are by a single author, and others have chapters by different authors but all are carefully planned to cover a specific area. Many of these books have been referred to in... 

These abbreviations are used in most chapters. In some chapters other (specific) abbreviations are used. Abbreviations employed in physical experimental methods used in electrochemistry are listed in Chapter 27. 

The remaining parts of this chapter will provide detailed information about each of these six steps. However, specific strategies for risk assessment and management may need additional elements, depending on the nature of the hazard, the foods in which it may occur and other specific conditions. For example, some additives may also occur as natural constituents in the diet or may be chemically altered when they come into contact with food components. For such substances a unique approach may need to be developed. 

This chapter discusses method parameters from the robustness point of view, not from the analyte or the specific analysis point of view. Certain aspects will be named under different parts, if they have impact on multiple aspects and overlap with other chapters is unavoidable. The chapter is not a review (Chapter 9), but will give illustrative examples. It is intended to help during method development and is based on the current status of equipment. The strategies provided are not considered to be the only way to address the issues discussed. They are offered as examples (for more discussion see other related chapters in this book) of... 

The interactions between drugs and proteins such as albumin, acidic glycoprotein, and other possible target proteins are discussed in specific chapters. Some important applications of ACE concerning drug carrier systems (simple and mixed micelles, microemulsions, liposomes) are covered in subsequent chapters of this book. 

The above four requirements vary somehow with the type of flowthrough sensor and detection system used. There are other, specific requisites, discussion of which is beyond the scope of this introductory chapter. A more detailed description of the optimal operational conditions for flow-through sensors is provided in subsequent chapters. 

Listed below are some references to textbooks and other books that relate to the material in this text. We have assembled all of them here, but many refer to material in specific chapters. Students may want to refer to these sources for more detail on the material presented here. Some of these are simply interesting books on technology which the student may find interesting for general reading. 

The book is made up of seven chapters (plus additional, general material). The purpose of the first two is to remind the reader of information that is probably known already. This is essential if the best use is to be made of the information in later, topic-specific chapters. Throughout, numerous worked examples are given. An example usually illustrates material which immediately or closely precedes it. To the authors, they seem relevant and appropriate but others may disagree. What is important is that they are presented with detailed working and clearly-stated units (SI and Si-derived units have been preferred although in some cases, familiar and widely accepted units are used). They are there to build the reader s confidence and to encourage him to quantify his particular system. 

Because the sum is not equal to zero, we end up with twisted coherence and no signal in the receiver. We call this a gradient-selected experiment because the gradients are being used to specifically refocus coherence in the desired coherence transfer pathway (XH SQC -> 13C SQC) and to reject all others. In Chapter 10, we will develop the idea of coherence order in a more precise manner, and we will see that coherence order can be either positive or negative. 

The existence of a perfluoro effect for core level spectra was observed by Robin and coworkers46. These, as well as other specific XPS results for free molecules, will be discussed in later parts of this chapter. For now, we continue our survey with two important applications (i) the analysis of surfaces and thin films and (ii) polymers. 

Many other fixatives are available and a considerable body of literature exists that describes situations in which one of these performs better than others. Some of these fixatives will be discussed later in this chapter. Other specific applications exist in which tissue is frozen and cut, rather than fixed. 

This volume, which complements the earlier one, contains 9 chapters written by experts from 7 countries. These include a chapter on the dynamic behavior of organolithium compounds, written by one of the pioneers in the field, and a specific chapter on the structure and dynamics of chiral lithium amides in particular. The use of such amides in asymmetric synthesis is covered in another chapter, and other synthetic aspects are covered in chapters on acyllithium derivatives, on the carbolithiation reaction and on organolithi-ums as synthetic intermediates for tandem reactions. Other topics include the chemistry of ketone dilithio compounds, the chemistry of lithium enolates and homoenolates, and polycyclic and fullerene lithium carbanions. 

This chapter deals with each of these types of carbohydrates, how they have been used in adhesives, and how they might be used in the future. In many cases, I will only allude to possible uses because detailed discussion of specific uses of certain carbohydrate materials is covered by others in chapters that follow. 

Absorption of a solute liquid or vapor into a polymer film can profoundly affect the viscoelastic behavior of the polymer. The magnitude of this effect depends on the nature of the solute/polymer interactions and on the amount of solute absorbed. The solute/polymer interactions can range fttun simple dispersion to hydrogen-bonding and other specific interactions. The extent of absorption can be described by the partition coefficient, AT, which quantifies the thermcxlynamic distribution of the solute between two phases (K = coiKentration in polymer divided by die concentration in the liquid or vapor phase in contact with the polymer). It has long been known that acoustic wave devices can be used to probe solubility and partition coefficients (53,67). Due to the relevance of these topics to chemical sensors, more comprehensive discussions of these interaction mechanisms and the significance of the partition coefficient are included in Chapter 5.
