The unique properties of oligonucleotides create crosslinking options that are far different from any other biological molecule. Nucleic acids are the only major class of macromolecule that can be specifically duplicated in vitro by enzymatic means. The addition of modified nucleoside triphosphates to an existing DNA strand by the action of polymerases or transferases allows addition of spacer arms or detection components at random or discrete sites along the chain. Alternatively, chemical methods that modify nucleotides at selected functional groups can be used to produce spacer arm derivatives or activated intermediates for subsequent coupling to other molecules. 

Antibody molecules can be labeled with any one of more than a dozen different fluorescent probes currently available from commercial sources. Each probe option has its own characteristic spectral signals of excitation (or absorption) and emission (or fluorescence). Many derivatives of these fluorescent probes possess reactive functionalities convenient for covalently linking to antibodies and other molecules. Each of the main fluorophore families contains at least a few different choices in coupling chemistry to direct the modification reaction to selected functional groups on the molecule to be labeled. These choices include amine-reactive, sulfhydryl-reactive, and carbonyl-reactive. Examples of some of the more popular varieties of fluorescent probes can be found in Chapter 9. 

The effects of competition among the IR rules were explored by using the complete system, with the STIRS module disabled, to interpret the spectra of 1807 compounds from the library. For the test, we selected 500 of the 900 chemical substructures which both are chemically interesting and display at least one distinctive infrared band. Some of the selected substructures were subsets of others for example, alcohol, phenol, and primary alcohol were all in the test set. As expected, some functional groups displaying very distinctive infrared bands were detected much more reliably than others. Figure 6 shows the reliability, false positive and recall rates for a few selected functional groups. 

The selectivity, functional group tolerance, and mild reaction conditions of the various Pd° cross-coupling reactions have made them invaluable tools for carbon-carbon bond formation. Intramolecular variations to construct macrocycles have also been described. 

In addition to the examples outlined above, various funetionalized olefins are also known to undergo CM with high E-selectivity. Functional groups that contribute to high E-olefin formation will be discussed in Section 11.06.4. In these cases, CM provides an orthogonal route to products that are typically generated via either the selective C-H activation of alkenes or allylic oxidation.

The many possibilities of directing the physical/chemical properties of a den-drimer by introduction of selected functional groups into the molecule lead to an great variety of potential applications of dendrimers. Depending upon the position and the nature of the functional units within the dendrimer structure, it is possible to distinguish between different types of functional dendrimers ...

A complete dichotomy between bond order and other functionality. This is in contrast to IUPAC s organic nomenclature, which uses morphemic suffixes to specify both degree of bond unsaturation (ane, -ene, and -yne), and also selected functional groups (-one, -al, etc.). In the proposed system, on the other hand, the individual chemical symbols for atoms alternate with bond descriptors (small integers or selected symbols). In particular, traditional single, double and triple bonds are... 

Use mass spectra to determine molecular weights and base peaks, to distinguish between hydrocarbons, and to identify selected functional groups by their fragmentation patterns. 

Hydrophilicity is an important criterion for the use of synthetic polymers. Existing methods for surface modihcation of synthetic hbers are costly and complex. Therefore, the enzymatic surface modihcation of synthetic hbers is a new and green approach to synthesize polymers with improved surface properties. Use of enzymes for surface modihcation of polymers will not only minimize the use of hazardous chemicals but also minimize the environment pollution load. Besides these, the enzyme-modihed polymers can also immobilize those enzymes which can only bind to the selective functional groups present on the polymeric surface such as —COOH and —NH2. Similarly, substrates can immobilize on the solid matrix (or polymer), which will be easily accessible to the enzymes. Genetic engineering can be employed for the modihcation of active sites of enzymes for better polymer catalysis. 

As an extension of this research, the appropriateness and effectiveness of those treatments designed to actually change half-life (deacidification, consolidation, and selective functional group reduction) will be evaluated. 

Despite the high cost of the equipment required and the time taken for sample preparation and spectra acquisition, MAS-HR NMR provides invaluable stmctural information about the species present in a reaction. Only a few milligrams of resin beads are required and they can be recovered as the technique is nondestructive. The complementarity of the technique with other analytical methods is clear MALDl-TOP cannot discriminate among compounds with the same MW and depends on the ionization properties of the resin-bound compound, while PTIR depends on the presence of selected functional groups in the molecule. MAS-HR NMR can be used independently from the nature of the performed reaction and the functional groups formed or lost during the SPS step. Additionally, two-dimensional MAS techniques such as 2D-COSY (correlated spectroscopy) and TOCSY (total correlated spectroscopy) (171) or 2D-SECSY (spin echo correlation spectroscopy) (181) can provide more detailed information that may be useful in specific cases. 

The following older, well-established methods based on the estimation of the selected functional groups or calculation of oil or fat contents are still used to differentiate oils or fats. However, more accurate and fast ana-l5dical methods, such as gas chromatography of fatty acids and the HPLC of triglycerides have reduced the significance of these older methods.
