Irreversible inhibition is probably due to the alkylation of a histidine residue.43 Chymotrypsin is selectively inactivated with no or poor inhibition of human leukocyte elastase (HLE) with a major difference the inactivation of HLE is transient.42,43 The calculated intrinsic reactivity of the coumarin derivatives, using a model of a nucleophilic reaction between the ligand and the methanol-water pair, indicates that the inhibitor potency cannot be explained solely by differences in the reactivity of the lactonic carbonyl group toward the nucleophilic attack 43 Studies on pyridyl esters of 6-(chloromethyl)-2-oxo-2//-1 -benzopyran-3-carboxylic acid (5 and 6, Fig. 11.5) and related structures having various substituents at the 6-position (7, Fig. 11.5) revealed that compounds 5 and 6 are powerful inhibitors of human leukocyte elastase and a-chymotrypsin thrombin is inhibited in some cases whereas trypsin is not inhibited.21... 

It has been shown that photoexcitation of the guanine-cytosine (G-C) base pair leads to proton transfer [231], Watson-Crick (WC) base pairs have excited state lifetimes much shorter than other non-WC base pairs indicating once again that the natural occurring WC base pairs are more photostable than other alternative configurations [115, 118, 232-235], Much work has been done in the gas phase where many different base pair isomers exist. The ultrafast relaxation of the WC base pair has also been confirmed in solution using fluorescence up-conversion measurements [117]. 

It may also happen that an association equilibrium exists between the luminescent indicator and the quencher. Non-associated indicator molecules will be quenched by a dynamic process however, the paired indicator dye will be instantaneously deactivated after absorption of light (static quenching). Equation 2 still holds provided static quenching is the only luminescence deactivation mechanism (i.e. no simultaneous dynamic quenching occurs) but, in this case, Ksv equals their association constant (Kas). However, if both mechanisms operate simultaneously (a common situation), the Stem-Volmer equation adopts more complicated forms, depending on the stoichiometry of the fluorophore quencher adduct, the occurrence of different complexes, and their different association constants. For instance, if the adduct has a 1 1 composition (the simplest case), the Stem-Volmer equation is given by equation 3 ... 

SSMAXCOV analyses were performed with the two sets of single indicators. Extreme values of the input indicators were combined in a single interval until there were at least 50 cases present in each interval, effectively setting MRIN at 50. MAXCOV was applied to the two sets of paired indicators with an interval size being set to one in raw score units that is, each interval corresponded to a specific raw score. MAXCOV was also applied to the theoretical indicators, and instead of using the same interval size (e.g.,. 25 SD) for all indicators, each marker was divided into ten equal intervals. This deviation from standard procedures does not seem to pose any obvious problems, but it has not been tested in simulation studies, so this particular set of findings should be interpreted with caution. MRINs were not reported for either of the MAXCOV analyses. 

MAMBAC was performed using a modified protocol where one indicator is used as the input variable and the sum of the remaining indicators is used as the output variable. This procedure was applied to the individual PSWQ indicators and to the paired indicators (MAMBAC does not work well with dichotomous indicators, so the third indicator set was not used). The authors reported that all of the resulting curves were dish-shaped, but only two of the averaged curves were presented. Interestingly, the average curve for the paired indicators showed a complete peak on the extreme right. On the other hand, the base rate estimates were inconsistent with the exist-...

MATC = Maximum acceptable toxicant concentration. Lower value in each MATC pair indicates highest concentration tested producing no measurable effect on growth, survival, reproduction, and metabolism during chronic exposure higher value indicates lowest concentration tested producing a measurable effect.

Neither of the above species is a ground-state quintet (four unpaired electrons). The pairing indicated by the valence bond structures shown above apparently occurs, leaving the unpaired electrons localized in a orbitals that are approximately orthogonal to the n system. The very small zero-field splitting is perhaps a measure of the validity of the o—7r separation which constitutes the basic assumption of 7r-electron theory.
