Role of the American Chemical Society

As a professional organization, one of the roles of the American Chemical Society is to present chemistry in a positive light. To promote the highest standards among its members, the ACS has adopted a code of conduct. The code presents basic principles to guide the action and responsibilities of chemists.

Feeney, R. E., and St. K. Komatsu Role of Tyrosines in Metal-Complexing Properties of Transferrins. (To be presented at the 152nd meeting of the American Chemical Society, September 12-18, 1966, New York, N. Y.) The role of hydroxyls (tyrosyls) in the binding of metals by human serum transferrin and chicken ovotransferrin has been shown by chemical means. Acetylation of the transferrins with N-acetyl imidazole inactivated the metal-binding activity. Deacetylation of the acetylated transferrins with hydroxylamine reactivated the transferrins.

Thus, it is well established that deterministic chaos plays a role in chemistry. It has been analyzed in different chemical processes. Asked about the importance of chemical oscillations and chaos in the chemistry of mass industrial production, Wasserman, former director of research at Dupont de Nemours and past-president of the American Chemical Society in 1999, said [15] "Fes. The new tools of nonlinear dynamics have allowed us a fresh viewpoint on reactions of interest". Ehipont has identified chaotic phenomena in reactions as important as the conversion of the p-xylol in terephtalic acid or the oxidation of the benzaldehyde in benzoic acid.
