Let s begin with an introduction to the area of design of structures. We will first contrast analysis, with which you are presumably quite familiar, and design. Analysis is viewed in Figure 7-5 in this manner analysis is the determination of the behavior that a specific structural configuration exhibits under specific loads. That is, what load does the structure take Or, how much does the structure deflect at a certain crucial point Analysis is a one-way street. We start with a specific structure, and ask how good is this structure, how much stress can it take, or how much overall load can it take without violating any stress... 

Alike any other G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), mGlu receptors have seven transmembrane helices, also known as the heptahelical domain (Fig. 2). As observed for all GPCRs, the intracellular loops 2 and 3 as well as the C-terminal tail are the key determinants for the interaction with and activation of G-proteins. However, sequence similarity analysis as well as specific structural features make these mGlu receptors different from many other... 

The task in this study focused on enhancing the flexibihty and reducing the weight of a bullet proof vest (e.g. wearing it as a vest under tuxedos or evening dresses). Document analysis and expert consultation revealed that a number of specific structures... 

In direct insertion techniques, reproducibility is the main obstacle in developing a reliable analytical technique. One of the many variables to take into account is sample shape. A compact sample with minimal surface area is ideal [64]. Direct mass-spectrometric characterisation in the direct insertion probe is not very quantitative, and, even under optimised conditions, mass discrimination in the analysis of polydisperse polymers and specific oligomer discrimination may occur. For nonvolatile additives that do not evaporate up to 350 °C, direct quantitative analysis by thermal desorption is not possible (e.g. Hostanox 03, MW 794). Good quantitation is also prevented by contamination of the ion source by pyrolysis products of the polymeric matrix. For polymer-based calibration standards, the homogeneity of the samples is of great importance. Hyphenated techniques such as LC-ESI-ToFMS and LC-MALDI-ToFMS have been developed for polymer analyses in which the reliable quantitative features of LC are combined with the identification power and structure analysis of MS. 

Analysis of bacterial monomers is performed routinely to detect bacteria at trace levels in environmental samples using GC-MS-MS. PCR is also used routinely by the molecular biology community for detection of clinical infections. MS and MS-MS greatly improve the specificity of analysis of PCR products and provide additional structural information that may be important in apply-... 

The specific features of the cluster compounds of technetium are such, that practically each new compound must be studied using single crystal X-ray structural analysis, because their complex structures do not allow the interpretation of the results from other physico-chemical methods of investigation. Therefore, the synthesis of single crystals suitable for X-ray structural analysis is the main and most laborious chemical task. 

Distribution analysis in atomic dimensions becomes structure analysis. But because of its specific methodology, it makes sense to consider structure analysis as a separate field of analytical chemistry see Sect. 1.2. Therefore, the information-theoretical fundamentals of structure analysis are different from that of element analysis and have been represented by Danzer and Marx [ 1979a,b].

A considerable improvement over purely graph-based approaches is the analysis of metabolic networks in terms of their stoichiometric matrix. Stoichiometric analysis has a long history in chemical and biochemical sciences [59 62], considerably pre-dating the recent interest in the topology of large-scale cellular networks. In particular, the stoichiometry of a metabolic network is often available, even when detailed information about kinetic parameters or rate equations is lacking. Exploiting the flux balance equation, stoichiometric analysis makes explicit use of the specific structural properties of metabolic networks and allows us to put constraints on the functional capabilities of metabolic networks [61,63 69]. 

Diederich and coworkers [10] synthesized so-called dendrophanes (Figure 13.6) containing a paracyclophane core embedded in dendritic poly(ether-amide) shells. X-ray crystal-structure analysis indicated that these dendrimers had an open cavity binding site in the center, suitable for the binding of aromatic guests. NMR and fluorescence titration experiments revealed a site specific binding between these dendrimers and 6-(p-toluidino)naphthalene-2-sulfonate (TNS) with a 1 1 association. Also, the fluorescence spectral shift of TNS, which is... 

Prior to the advent of site-directed mutagenesis as a viable technique for the production of specifically modified proteins, the last major event to exert a major influence on the study of protein structure and function was the development of X-ray diffraction analysis for the detailed structural analysis of macromolecules. In the intervening thirty years, the availability of protein structures obtained in this manner combined with a wide range of physical and chemical studies of these proteins allowed development of substantial insight into the relationship between the structure of a protein and its functional attributes. There was some reason to expect, therefore, that functional characterization of specifically mutated proteins based on understanding developed with more classical techniques should permit efficient confirmation of existing hypotheses, particularly for proteins for which the available literature is as extensive as that for cytochrome c. 

The study of individual NRPS domain structures provides important information regarding the specificity and enzymology of individual steps in NRP biosynthesis. However, structural analysis of larger NRPS constructs is necessary to gain insight into aspects related to domain/domain interactions and the overall structure of the synthetase machinery. This information is particularly important for understanding the details of substrate trafficking and will assist efforts toward the rational manipulation of NRPSs.
