Technically, a behavioral consequence is a positive reinforcer only if it increases the frequency, intensity, or duration of the targeted behavior. In reality, it is usually impossible to know if tiiis happens. You could give a person recognition, positive feedback, or even a financial bonus, and not influence the behavior you are intending to reward. 

How the leader influences—the leader s style—encircles his personal safety ethic. Over the years, researchers and scholars have described a plethora of leadership styles—laissez-faire, autocratic, charismatic, participative, transactional, theories X, Y, and Z—to name just a few. One widely researched style, transformational leadership, stands out as consistently predictive of business outcomes. The transformational leader focuses on the future, and her approach is strongly oriented toward developing her people. By going beyond her own self-interest, such a leader inspires employees to go beyond their mere shortterm self-interest. The transactional leader, in contrast, focuses on current results and undertakes individual exchanges (of recognition, position, or money) to deliver expected results in the near term. We ll explore these two leadership styles, both of which have their merits and uses, later in this chapter. 

For the investigation of molecular recognition in micelles, adenine derivatives and positively charged (thyminylalkyl)ammonium salts such as shown in Figure 30 were prepared, which were solubilized in sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) solutions. Nmr studies have shown that binding occurs in a 1 1 molar ratio in the interior of the micelles as illustrated in Figure 30 (192). 

Fig. 5. Protein folding. The unfolded polypeptide chain coUapses and assembles to form simple stmctural motifs such as -sheets and a-hehces by nucleation-condensation mechanisms involving the formation of hydrogen bonds and van der Waal s interactions. Small proteins (eg, chymotrypsin inhibitor 2) attain their final (tertiary) stmcture in this way. Larger proteins and multiple protein assembhes aggregate by recognition and docking of multiple domains (eg, -barrels, a-helix bundles), often displaying positive cooperativity. Many noncovalent interactions, including hydrogen bonding, van der Waal s and electrostatic interactions, and the hydrophobic effect are exploited to create the final, compact protein assembly. Further stmctural...

Appllca.tlons. The first widely appHcable Ic separation of enantiomeric metallocene compounds was demonstrated on P-CD bonded-phase columns. Thirteen enantiomeric derivatives of ferrocene, mthenocene, and osmocene were resolved (7). Retention data for several of these compounds are listed in Table 2, and Figure 2a shows the Ic separation of three metallocene enantiomeric pairs. P-Cyclodextrin bonded phases were used to resolve several racemic and diastereomeric 2,2-binaphthyldiyl crown ethers (9). These compounds do not contain a chiral carbon but stiU exist as enantiomers because of the staggered position of adjacent naphthyl rings, and a high degree of chiral recognition was attained for most of these compounds (9). 

As microprocessor-based controls displaced hardwired electronic and pneumatic controls, the impac t on plant safety has definitely been positive. When automated procedures replace manual procedures for routine operations, the probability of human errors leading to hazardous situations is lowered. The enhanced capability for presenting information to the process operators in a timely manner and in the most meaningful form increases the operator s awareness of the current conditions in the process. Process operators are expected to exercise due diligence in the supervision of the process, and timely recognition of an abnormal situation reduces the likelihood that the situation will progress to the hazardous state. Figure 8-88 depicts the layers of safety protection in a typical chemical jdant. 

Figure 8.8 The DNA-binding heiix-turn-helix motif in lambda Cro. Ca positions of the amino acids in this motif have been projected onto a plane and the two helices outlined. The second helix (red) is called the recognition helix because it is involved in sequence-specific recognition of DNA.

The positions of the DNA recognition helices (5) and the helices (3) that connect the core with the heads are indicated. The approximate position of the side chain of residue 77 is marked as a purple hall (see text for the significance of this residue). (Adapted from R.-G. Zhang et al.. Nature 327 591-597, 1987.)... 

Residues 3, 5, 6, and 8 in the N-terminal arm lie in the minor groove and form contacts with either the edge of the bases or with the DNA backbone. Almost all homeodomains contain four conserved residues, Asn 51, Arg 53, Trp 48 and Phe 49, in the middle of the long recognition helix. The first two conserved polar residues interact with DNA. The second two are part of the hydrophobic core of the homeodomain, and are important for the accurate positioning of the recognition helix and the N-terminal arm with respect to... 

The two zinc ions fulfill important but different functions in the DNA-binding domains. The first zinc ion is important for DNA-bindlng because it properly positions the recognition helix the last two cysteine zinc ligands are part of this helix. The second zinc ion is important for dimerization since the five-residue loop between the first two cysteine zinc ligands is the main component of the dimer interaction area. 

The GAL4 recognition module therefore contains only one protein side chain, Lys 18, that provides specific interactions with the DNA. The remaining specific interactions with DNA are from main-chain atoms and depend critically on the correct conformation of the protein. The correct positioning of the C-terminus of the a helix is particularly important for recognition. This is to date the only example of a protein-DNA interaction in which...
