In this technique, an rf encodable microchip is coupled with a capsule of derivatized polystyrene resin such that each unique synthesis site can be tagged with a unique identifier code. The inert nature of the rf transponder construction renders this tagging strategy compatible with virtually all synthetic methods. Additionally, the noninvasive transmission or retrieval of information from any capsule is unambiguous and instantaneous, avoiding the possibility of long reaction and/or analysis times associated with chemical tags. 

There is evidence from other areas of biochemistry that lends support to the present model. Thus, Rotenberg (1988) correlated the number of cytochrome c sites with the number of ATP synthesis sites. This supports the speculation that cytochrome c can serve as a site on an enzyme electrode, electrodically supplying cathodically active groups for oxygen reduction. Correspondingly, Tsong (1994) has shown that when an anode and cathode are in contact with suspended mitochondrial particles, the rate of ATP formation increases exponentially with the change in potential.

A primary product is one that forms during a single sojourn of a reactive intermediate on an FT synthesis site. All products formed by desorption from a chain growth site in Fig. 1 are primary FT synthesis products. Secondary reactions alter FT synthesis selectivity by chemical transformations of these primary products on a second catalytic function. In many cases, high CO and water concentrations during FT synthesis inhibit these secondary reactions of hydrocarbons. 

Fluorescence Scan of an Array of 1024 Peptides in A 1.6-cm2 Area. Each synthesis site is a 400- am square. A fluorescently labeled monoclonal antibody was added to the array to identify peptides that are recognized. The height and color of each square denote the fluorescence intensity. [After S. P. A.

The amount of each peptide in the array is easy to control by the size of each spot. For example, synthesis on Whatman 540 paper (capacity 0.4-0.6 [omol cm ) with 0.5-0.7 xL of reagents used for the coupling step yields 25 nmol of a peptide on a spot 7 mm in diameter. These parameters are used in a standard format, an 8 x 12 array with 9-mm distance between the centers of the synthesis sites. Larger arrays of 40 x 50 can be prepared on Whatman 50 paper with the help of automation. Drops 0.03-0.05 oL in volume form spots that are 1 mm in diameter, producing an array containing 2000 peptides, 1.0 nmol each.t l...

U. avenae (Buchenauer, 1977 Dohler and Lempke, 1979). Fenarimol interfers at several synthesis sites, resulting in incomplete membrane structure and thus disturbed membrane function. Fenarimol is thus a multisite inhibitor, so that the development of resistance is not expected from present information. Pyrimidin-5-yl methanols, as a group, are of interest not only because of their antifungal activity, but also because of their growth regulatory activity in higher plants (Sisler et al., 1984). 

Transfer RNA (tRNA) plays the role of carrying an amino acid to the synthesis site at the ribosome. tRNA molecules are relatively small, with around seventy-five nucleotides in a single strand. They form several loops, one of which is an anti-codon, a three-residue series that is complementary to the codon present in the mRNA (Figure 2). The opposite end of the tRNA is where an amino acid is bound. The correct binding of an amino acid to a specific tRNA is every bit as important as the anti-codon in ensuring that the correct amino acid is incorporated in the polypeptide that is synthesized. There are different tRNA molecules for each of the twenty amino acids that are present in living systems some amino acids have more than one tRNA that carry them to the synthesis site.
