Structural keys describe the chemical composition and structural motifs of molecules represented as a Boolean array. If a certain structural feature is present in a molecule or a substructure, a particular bit is set to 1 (true), otherwise to 0 (false). A bit in this array may encode a particular functional group (such as a carboxylic acid or an amidelinkage), a structural element (e.g., a substituted cyclohexane), or at least n occurrences of a particular element (e.g., a carbon atom). Alternatively, the structural key can be defined as an array of integers where the elements of this array contain the frequency of a specific feature in the molecule. 

In the early 1930 s, when the prime research aim was the commercial synthesis of the sex hormones (whose structures had just been elucidated), the principal raw material available was cholesterol extracted from the spinal cord or brain of cattle or from sheep wool grease. This sterol (as its 3-acetate 5,6-dibromide) was subjected to a rather drastic chromic acid oxidation, which produced a variety of acidic, ketonic and hydroxylated products derived mainly by attack on the alkyl side-chain. The principal ketonic material, 3j -hydroxyandrost-5-en-17-one, was obtained in yields of only about 7% another useful ketone, 3 -hydroxypregn-5-en-20-one (pregnenolone) was obtained in much lower yield. The chief acidic product was 3j -hydroxy-androst-5-ene-17j -carboxylic acid. All three of these materials were then further converted by various chemical transformations into steroid hormones and synthetic analogs ... 

The chemical reactions of this compound were recently reconsidered, and both structures 64 and 65 were rejected in favor of the zwit-terion formulation 66, which is supported by the presence of a band at S.lfx (3226 cm ) in the infrared spectrum and is merely an alternative canonical form of 64. On the other hand, the ultraviolet spectrum of 4-hydroxypyrrole-2-carboxylic acid (67) resembles that of its ethyl ether, possibly indicating that the 2-acid exists in the hydroxy form. -...

An excellent review by Roth and Eisner (63) summarized the chemical defense substances found in arthropods up to 1962. These authors listed 31 defense substances of known structure one anhydride, three carboxylic acids, nine aldehydes, one furan, three hydrocarbons, two ketones, one lactone, eight quinones, and three inorganic compounds. Many of these same compounds (unsaturated aldehydes and quinones) have been found in other arthropods since 1962 (38). The compounds are discharged when the animal is disturbed by predators, and there can be no doubt that the action of most of them... 

In addition to effects on biochemical reactions, the inhibitors may influence the permeability of the various cellular membranes and through physical and chemical effects may alter the structure of other subcellular structures such as proteins, nucleic acid, and spindle fibers. Unfortunately, few definite examples can be listed. The action of colchicine and podophyllin in interfering with cell division is well known. The effect of various lactones (coumarin, parasorbic acid, and protoanemonin) on mitotic activity was discussed above. Disturbances to cytoplasmic and vacuolar structure, and the morphology of mitochondria imposed by protoanemonin, were also mentioned. Interference with protein configuration and loss of biological activity was attributed to incorporation of azetidine-2-carboxylic acid into mung bean protein in place of proline.

Chemical analysis revealed that commercial food grade copper chlorophyllin is not a single, pure compound, but is a complex mixture of structurally distinct porphyrins, chlorin, and non-chlorin compounds with variable numbers of mono-, di-, and tri- carboxylic acid that may be present as either sodium or potassium salts. Although the composition of different chlorophyllin mixtures may vary, two compounds are commonly found in commercial chlorophyllin mixtures trisodium Cu (II) chlorin Cg and disodium Cu (II) chlorin which differ in the number of... 

Composition and Structure. Chemical analysis of the polymer from our first strain (NCIB 11592) indicated that it was a polysaccharide containing the sugars, glucose and galactose, and the carboxylic acids - - succinic and pyruvic - - in the approximate ratios 7 1 1 1. 

Shi et al.71 have assigned the backbone and side-chain chemical shifts for 103 of 238 residues of proteorhodopsin using solid state NMR spectroscopy. Analysis of the chemical shifts has allowed determination of protonation states of several carboxylic acids as well as boundaries and distortions of trans-membrane a-helices and secondary structure elements in the loops. It has been shown that internal Asp227, making a part of the counterion, is ionised, while Glul42 located close to the extracellular surface is neutral.
