Grafts are also frequently employed in the upper part of the body to reconstmct damaged portions of the aorta and carotid arteries. In addition, grafts are used to access the vascular system, such as in hemodialysis to avoid damage of vessels from repeated needle punctures. Most grafts are synthetic and made from materials such as Dacron or Teflon. Less than 5% of grafts utilized are made from biological materials. 

There are numerous synthetic and natural compounds called antioxidants which regulate or block oxidative reactions by quenching free radicals or by preventing free-radical formation. Vitamins A, C, and E and the mineral selenium are common antioxidants occurring naturally in foods (104,105). A broad range of flavonoid or phenoHc compounds have been found to be functional antioxidants in numerous test systems (106—108). The antioxidant properties of tea flavonoids have been characterized using models of chemical and biological oxidation reactions. 

Simulations of water in synthetic and biological membranes are often performed by modeling the pore as an approximately cylindrical tube of infinite length (thus employing periodic boundary conditions in one direction only). Such a system contains one (curved) interface between the aqueous phase and the pore surface. If the entrance region of the channel is important, or if the pore is to be simulated in equilibrium with a bulk-like phase, a scheme like the one in Fig. 2 can be used. In such a system there are two planar interfaces (with a hole representing the channel entrance) in addition to the curved interface of interest. Periodic boundary conditions can be applied again in all three directions of space.

The 2(lH)-pyrazinone system has received increased interest in the past two decades by both synthetic and biological research, due to its presence in a variety of natural and non-natural products as well as pharmacologically active compounds. The easy and diverse methods for the generation of this versatile scaffold make it a prime choice for the current pharmaceutical research hke thrombin inhibitors, substance P antagonists, etc. The rich 1,4-azadiene...
