Polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) has been extensively studied as starting substrate to construct nanocomposites with precise control of nanoarchitecture and properties. Octahedral derivatives are the most representative ones of this family. It was reported that the HRP-catalyzed conjugation of catechin on amine-substituted octahedral silsesquioxane amplified the beneficial physiological property of flavonoids. The POSS-catechin conjugate exhibited great... 

In an attempt to establish the neural bases of social recognition, isolated neurons from the vomeronasal organ of female and male L. bellii, were studied during the potential breeding season. The physiological properties of these cells were determined, as well as their ability to respond to different types of chemosignals from... 

The stereochemistry deals with the study of spatial structure of molecules and its effect on the physical and chemical properties of the compound. Until recently stereochemistry was thought to be purely a theoretical area of study but since it not only affects the properties but also controls the rate of reaction, it has assumed great practical importance. Now stereochemistry is applied to study physiological properties, biochemistry, molecular biology, pharmacy and even in medicine. So the scope of the subject has become enormous. Stereoisomerism is classified into two types. 

It is well recognized that in vitro angiogenesis assays can have clear advantages. However, the major drawback of all of these assays is that they require the endothelial cells to be removed from their natural microenvironment, which alters their physiological properties. To study angiogenesis in vivo, the most frequently used assay systems exploit chicken chorio-allanto-ic membrane (CAM) [28,60], the corneal pocket [61], transparent chamber preparations such as the dorsal skin fold chamber [62,63], the cheek pouch window [64] and polymer matrix implants [65,66]. 

The fluorine-containing PGI2 derivatives have also been studied to modify the physical and physiological properties by utilizing unique characters of fluorine atoms [35], Most of the modifications were aimed at preventing hydrolysis by... 

The biosynthesis 237,5381 involves enzymatic dehydration of serine and threonine residues in a manner similar to the formation of thiazoles and dihydrothiazoles vide supra) with or without subsequent oxidation to yield the 2-(l-aminoalkyl)oxazole-4-carboxylic acid and 2-(l-aminoalkyl)dihydrooxazole-4-carboxylic acid shown in Scheme 38. These cyclic peptides display interesting physiological properties such as cytotoxicity/541, 569,5831 antitumor activities, or antineoplastic effects/523,5291 but as for the sulfur-containing compounds the mechanism of action is not yet understood despite extensive SAR studies. 515,521,540,5431... 

Oat, Avena sativa, is a cereal which has been little studied, at least from a flavor point of view. Only a few investigations have been published, e.g. by Heydanek and McGorrin (7, 8). A review concerning oat flavor chemistry has also appeared quite recently (9). However, this cereal has attracted increased interest during the last few years, owing to the health benefits of oat. Examples are its cholesterol-lowering properties, the desirable physiological properties of fibre content and the favourable ratio of polyunsaturated to saturated fats in its lipid content (10). 

Since in organic compounds the presence of such groups is of outstanding significance for their physiological properties, it was decided to look for ways to synthesize functionally-substituted organo-tin compounds and to study their fungitoxicity. 

Not only PVNO [1] but also the so-called pyrane copolymer stimulated the study of the physiological properties of synthetic polymers. This cyclic copolymers [5] from divinyl ether and maleic anhydride, first time described by Regelson (38), induces the formation of interferon. 

Food materials, including fish, contain the precursors to these bioactive peptides, which can be formed in vitro or in vivo by enzymatic hydrolysis (Korhonen and Pihlanto 2003). During the past decade, a number of studies have reported on the many physiological properties of these bioactive peptides. The aim of this review is to describe the production of novel peptides derived from marine protein hydrolysates, elucidating the underlying mechanisms of physiological and biofunctional activity that are particular to individual bioactive peptides. The general sources and production of protein hydrolysates will be discussed, followed by a discussion of the nutraceutical properties of protein hydrolysates and their associated bioactive peptides. 

The subjective, psychomotor, and physiological properties of subanesthetic concentrations of xenon have been studied in 10 volunteers (686). Xenon sedation was well... 

The most widely studied of the neutral five-coordinate silicon compounds are the so-called sUatranes of general stmcture (47). They are of interest both because of their unusual structure, which incorporates a strong transannular N Si bond, and because of their apparent physiological properties. ... 

Like the other World War gase.s, mu.stard was not a new or uiiknow n compound. On the contrary, it w a.s discovered sixty years before tl outbreak of the w ar, and its chemical and physiological properties had been studied and were known to science for many years. Mustard gas was first obtained (in an impure form) by Richie in 1854 (15, page 235) In 1860 it was independently prepared by Guthrie and Niemann by passing ethylene into sulfur chloride both of...
