In order to give useful information about an enzyme, a conformationally restricted active-site-directed analog inhibitor need not bind to the enzyme irreversibly. In a study of the enzyme fructose 1,6-diphosphatase from rabbit liver, Benkovic et al, have investigated the question of the reactive form of the fructose 1,6-diphosphate in the enzymatic process (104,105). Three likely forms are shown in structures 50, 51 and 52.

Some agonists, such as methacholine, carbachol and bethanecol are structurally very similar to ACh (Fig. 6.6). They are all more resistant to attack by cholinesterase than ACh and so longer acting, especially the non-acetylated carbamyl derivatives carbachol and bethanecol. Carbachol retains both nicotinic and muscarinic effects but the presence of a methyl (CH3) group on the p carbon of choline, as in methacholine and bethanecol, restricts activity to muscarinic receptors. Being charged lipophobic compounds they do not enter the CNS but produce powerful peripheral parasympathetic effects which are occasionally used clinically, i.e. to stimulate the gut or bladder. 

Allergenic plants causing skin eruption by contact include poison ivy (Rhus radicans L.), poison oak (Rhus toxicodendron L.), poison sumac (Rhus vernix L.), and stinging nettle (Urtica dioica L.). In the United States, poison ivy and poison oak cause nearly 2 million cases of skin poisoning and skin irritation annually, for a loss of 333,000 working days. In addition, these weeds cause 3.7 million days of restricted activity among those people who are susceptible to the toxins (1). 

In this section, we describe calculations of the P,T-odd interaction constant Wd for the ground (X2E, 2) states of YbF and BaF molecules using all-electron DF orbitals and a restricted active space (RAS) configuration interaction (Cl) treatment. 

The P,T-odd constant Wd and dipole moment p(. for the ground state of the BaF molecule are calculated using the restricted active space (RAS) configuration...

Definitive treatment of preeclampsia is delivery, and this is indicated if pending or frank eclampsia (preeclampsia and convulsions) is present. Otherwise, management consists of restricting activity, bedrest, and close monitoring. Salt restriction or other measures that contract blood volume should be avoided. Antihypertensives are used prior to induction of labor if the DBP is >105-110 mm Hg, with a target DBP of 95-105 mm Hg. IV hydralazine is most commonly used IV labetalol is also effective. 

The most important health effects, in terms of economic damages that can be assigned monetary values, are premature mortality and increased incidence of chronic heart and lung disease. The air pollutants that have shown the strongest association with premature mortality and heart and lung disease are PM and airborne lead. PM has also been associated with hospital admissions, respiratory infections, and asthma attacks. Ozone has also been associated with mortality, hospital admissions, asthma attacks and respiratory restricted activity days (RADs), days on which a person cuts back on his or her normal activities, but does not necessarily miss work or stay in bed. S02 and NOx do not have such significant direct effects, though they do have... 

The Restricted Active Space (RAS) State Interaction Approach With Spin-Orbit Coupling. 

The selection of configuration state functions to be included in MCSCF calculations is not a trivial task. Two approaches which can reduce the complexity of the problem are the complete active space self-consistent-field (CASSCF) [68] and the restricted active space self-consistent-field (RASSCF) [69] approach. Both are implemented in the Dalton program package [57] and are used in this study. Throughout the paper a CASSCF calculation is denoted by i active gactive RASSCF calculation by For the active spaces of HF, H2O, and CH4... 

Another means to reduce the scale of the problem is to shrink the size of the CAS calculation, but to allow a limited number of excitations from/to orbitals outside of the CAS space. This secondary space is called a restricted active space (RAS), and usually the excitation level is limited to one or two electrons. Thus, while all possible configurations of electrons in the CAS space are permitted, only a limited number of RAS configurations is possible. Remaining occupied and virtual orbitals, if any, are restricted to occupation numbers of exactly two and zero, respectively. 

Another extension of the CASSCF model, which has recently been developed, is to introduce several active spaces, and restrict the number of electrons in each subspace in some way. The Restricted Active Space (RAS) model employs five orbital subspaces instead of three ... 

A substrate binds an enzyme at the active site. Substrate-enzyme binding is based on weak intermolecular attractions contact forces, dipole forces, and hydrogen bonding. Steric effects also play an important role because the substrate must physically fit into the active site. Some enzymes have confined active sites, while others are open and accessible. A restricted active site can lead to high selectivity for a specific substrate. Low specificity can be advantageous for some enzymes, particularly metabolic and digestive enzymes that need to process a broad range of compounds with a variety of structures. Because enzymes are composed of chiral amino acids, enzymes interact differently with stereoisomers, whether diastereomers or enantiomers.
