Summary reaction classification

Table 4.5 Summary of atom economical efficiency trends for various reaction classifications.

Each PIR entry consists of Entry (entry ID), Title, Alternate names, Organism, Date, Accession (accession number), Reference, Function (description of protein function), Comment (e.g., enzyme specificity and reaction, etc.), Classification (superfamily), Keywords (e.g., dimer, alcohol metabolism, metalloprotein, etc.), Feature (lists of sequence positions for disulfide bonds, active site and binding site amino acid residues, etc.), Summary (number of amino acids and the molecular weight), and Sequence (in PIR format, Chapter 4). In addition, links to PDB, KEGG, BRENDA, WIT, alignments, and iProClass are provided. 

The creation of tables of chemical affinities was an attempt to encapsulate all possible reactions between the constituents of chemical compounds. The goal was not only to provide a summary and key to known reactions but also to predict reactions that had not yet been observed. Tables of affinities thus had both a descriptive and a predictive role they could be used as a shorthand for a description and classification of observed reactions, and they could function as instruments of discovery. It was also possible, although not necessary, to use affinity tables as a clue to the mechanism of chemical reactions. It was along... 

Several reviews of early work on topotactic polymerizations and isomeriza-tions are available, and the reader is referred to the summaries of Morawetz [88] and Gougoutas [8] for a more complete account. The earliest study of a topotactic reaction appears to have been the observation, in 1932, of the polymerization of trioxane to poly-oxy-methylene [89]. Similar polymerizations of tetraoxane [90] and of trithiane [91 ] have also been reported to show retention of crystallographic axes from the monomer lattice. Other examples are discussed below. The topo-tacticity of a reaction can be determined solely by x-ray crystallographic analysis at the reactant and product endpoints. Thus a simple classification of a reaction as topotactic tells very little about how the structure of the crystal lattice changed in the course of reaction. 

In summary, chiral solvents have only induced limited enantioselectivity into different types of photochemical reactions as pinacolization, cyclization, and isomerization reactions. These studies are nevertheless very important, because they are among the early examples of chiral induction by an asymmetric environ ment. Based on our classification of chiral solvents as chiral inductors that only act as passive reaction matrices, effective asymmetric induction by this means seems to be intrinsically difficult. From the observed enantioselectivities it can be postulated that defined interactions with the prochiral substrate during the conversion to the product are a prerequisite for effective template induced enantioselectivity. 

In addition to the main products (nitrogen, carbon dioxide and water), different subproducts can be formed as a result of partial oxidation or reduction processes. Such subproducts can be more harmful than the initial toxic reactants and as such, their formation is undesirable. Following the pioneering work by Iwamoto and co-workers as well as that of Held and co-workers, which showed the activity of Cu/ZSM-5 for the process,100,101 many systems have been tested for this reaction. Figure 8.5 gives a brief illustrative summary of different systems that have shown some success in the mentioned process. Following the approach by Iwamoto, a classification... 

There are two general classes of reactions to change coordination at a reaction center addition/elimination and substitution. The words used to identify and further characterize these reactions are traditionally different in organic and in inorganic chemistry. In order to have a common basis for discussing analogous processes at such diverse reaction centers as Cd, Pb, Sn, Ge, Si, C, Al, and B, we start by giving a condensed summary of the respective classifications. 

In summary, the pressure-filtration technique is a useful and precise analytical tool in performing the solvent classification of certain coal-derived products. The method will not only give meaningful results comparable to continuous, room-temperature Soxhlet extractions but, most importantly, save many hours in the laboratory. We have found it rapid enough to monitor continuous operations. With coal-oil slurry reaction mixtures obtained from high-temperature coal-liquefaction reactions, the solvent classification can be completed in 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

A comprehensive summary of all reactions with coupled chemical steps and adsorbed/accumulated species on the electrode surface was elaborated in 1977 [103]. The classification given there enables chemical and adsorption processes to be verified and evaluated on the basis of this technique. 

In this section some of the reactions which involve nucleotides will be classified and briefly discussed. The classification has the merit of rimplic-ity, but it is not entirely free of inconsistency and often encompasses several types of mechanism within one category. The reader is referred to a lucid summary by Komberg of the enz3rmic reactions in which phosphate and its derivatives play a part 271). 

The bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloids are represented by over 225 different compounds which have been isolated from plants in 14 different plant families (Guha et al. 1979, Schiff Jr. 1983). It is the purpose of this presentation to review the distribution, chemical classification and major reactions of importance in structure elucidation of these alkaloids. In addition, a tabular summary of new alkaloids isolated and identified in the last several years will be presented. 

In summary, a simple unitary repre.sentation for all common reactions, homovalent or ambivalent, is made po.ssible by the merging of all previous terminology conventions, and a simple uniform nomenclature with a linear notation provided for general use. This system accords with the criteria above for a taxonomic classification, with a small set of basic forms (Figure 3) and a limited and manageable number (only 45 up to six atoms) of shell subclasses, easily labeled (Figure 1 and Ref. 8). It covers over 90% of known reactions with a horde of atom variants not yet realized.
