In flowing blood, red blood cells tend to stream to the center of the vessel lumen, whereas platelets distribute to the lumen periphery, so GPIb/IX/V complex mediates the rolling of cells and maintains surface contact, slowing down the platelets on the vessel wall. The binding between immobilized vWF and GPIb/IX/V is reversible and slows the platelet temporarily near the injured blood vessel (3).

Catalase (EC 1.11.1.6) rapidly formed a reversible complex stoichiometrically with nitric oxide with the Soret band shifting from 406 to 426 nm and two new peaks appeared at 540 and at 575 nm, consistent with the formation of a ferrous-nitrosyl complex (Brunelli et al. 2001). Catalase consumed more nitric oxide upon the addition of hydrogen peroxide. Conversely, micromolar concentrations of nitric oxide slowed the catalase-mediated decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. Catalase pre-treated with nitric oxide and hydrogen peroxide regained full activity after dialysis. 

Other ann is filled with water. Because of the concentration difference, the salt will diffu.se from thecpncentrated. oIution tothe pure water,phase. Howevenfin the absence the transport of salt us extremely low because its solubility in fKe organic phase (e.g.-chloroform) is very low. Adding a carrier to. the organic phase that is capable to form a reversible complex with the salt (e.g. diphenyl-18-crown-6) causes transport of potassium from one side of the U-tube to the other. After a finite time the pure water phase will now contain a certain amount of KCl (note that to maintain electroneutiality the anion chloride has to diff e along with the carrier complex). This U-tube experiment is very suitable to demonstrate the existence of facilitated or canier-mediated traiisptHt... 

In more recent studies, the fabrication of hybrid systems based on the reversible assembly of AuNP(2a) on a Si(lOO) surface was tackled [41]. This process was mediated by a series of hierarchical and reversible complexation steps involving a bifunctional guest (12), and two calix[n]arene-based hosts (2a and 11) which were used to functionalize two inorganic components (Fig. 35.7). The thiolate calix[4] arene 2a was covalently loaded on 5 nm AuNP(2a), while the novel tris((V-... 

As a possible mechanism (Scheme 7.3b), the amine abstracts iodine from Polymer-I to generate Polymer and a complex of the iodine radical and amine (I /amine complex). Since the iodine radical is not a stable radical, it recombines with another iodine radical to form a complex of the iodine molecule and amine (12/amine complex). Polymer reacts with these complexes (deactivators) to form Polymer-I and the amine. In this process, electron transfer from the amine to iodine would occur to a range of different degrees including full (redox), partial (coordination) and nearly no transfer, depending on the kind of amines. The process is reversible complexation (RC) of iodine and catalyst, and the polymerization is termed RC mediated polymerization (RCMP). °° Clearly, it is mechanistically distinguished from both ATRP and RTCP. 

Asthma is an extremely complex condition characterized by variable and reversible airways obstmction combiaed with nonspecific bronchial hypersensitivity (1 3). The cause of asthma, which is not always readily diagnosed (4), remains unknown. Days, if not weeks, ate needed to document the spontaneous reversal of the airways obstmction ia some patients. Asthmatics experience both an immediate hypersensitivity response and a delayed late-phase reaction, each mediated by a different pathway. Chronic asthma has come to be viewed as an inflammatory disease (5). The late-phase reaction plays a key role ia iaduciag and maintaining the inflammatory state which ia turn is thought to iaduce the bronchial hyperresponsiveness (6). The airways obstmction results from both contraction of airways smooth muscle and excessive bronchial edema. Edema, a characteristic of inflammatory states, is accompanied, ia this case, by the formation of a viscous mucus which can completely block the small airways. 

Beside coactivators so-called corepressors exist that are bound to transcription factors such as nuclear receptors and inhibit the initiation of transcription. These factors include the nuclear receptor corepressor (NCoR) and the silencing mediator of retinoic acid and thyroid hormone receptor (SMRT), which interact with nuclear receptors and serve as platforms for complexes containing histone deacetylases (HDACs). These enzymes cause the reversal of histone acetylation of histones leading to a tightening of chromatin and enhancing its inaccessibility for RNA polymerase containing complexes.
