The most common modifications of lecithin and the intended physical/functional alterations are shown in Table 20 (31). The range of physical/functional properties available in commercial lecithins is listed in Table 21 (31). These changes in lecithin allow for the basic lecithin obtained from soybean oil to be converted to various emulsifier products having a wide variety of food, feed, and industrial applications. Reviews describing chemical reactions for phospholipid modifications intended to obtain specific functionalities include those of Eichberg (89), Hawthorn and Kemp (90), Kuksis (91), Pryde (86), Snyder (92), Strickland (87), and Van Dee-nen and DeHaas (93). 

Similar electrophoretic properties of subfractions have also been observed in the horse (51) and human (72) enzyme forms, but it seems that the rat alcohol dehydrogenase is most sensitive to conversions. This may be accounted for by the fact that the rat enzyme has the greatest total cysteine content (80,84) and, in particular, an extra cysteine residue at position 112 (Section II,B,3). This is close to the four cysteine residues which are ligands to the second zinc atom (Section II,C,3,b) and which are common to all three mammalian proteins (Section II,B). These residues are therefore in close proximity, compatible with formation of disulfide bridges without great structural or functional alterations. In addition, this region, from the tertiary structure (Section II,C,3,b), seems less essential for catalytic activity. 

A very large number of alkaloids possess the pharmacological property of altering some function of the heart. Such a property is, however, usually incidental to another, more important, pharmacological action, or is but a toxic action exhibited tvith high dosage. In this review only those alkaloids tvill he considered whose actions are, primarily, on the various functions of the heart itself. 

Fig. 4. Alterations in either ligand or material properties may alter the nature of cell-substrate interactions. These interactions, in turn, impact many aspects of cell function.

The compatibility of two components in a partially miscible blend is a function of the extent to which the blend properties are altered as compared to a completely immiscible pair. The compatibility can be characterized by a fine dispersion of one phase within the other, adhesion of the dispersed phase to the matrix, shifting of glass transition temperatures relative to the pure components, reduced interfacial energy between the phases, and molecular interchange [/].
