The subject of this review is complexes of DNA with synthetic cationic polymers and their application in gene delivery [1 ]. Linear, graft, and comb polymers (flexible, i.e., non-conjugated polymers) are its focus. This review is not meant to be exhaustive but to give representative examples of the various types (chemical structure, architecture, etc.) of synthetic cationic polymers or polyampholytes that can be used to complex DNA. Other interesting synthetic architectures such dendrimers [5-7], dendritic structures/polymers [8, 9], and hyperbranched polymers [10-12] will not be addressed because there are numerous recent valuable reports about their complexes with DNA. Natural or partially synthetic polymers such as polysaccharides (chitosan [13], dextran [14,15], etc.) and peptides [16, 17] for DNA complexation or delivery will not be mentioned. 

The ROSDAL syntax is characterized by a simple coding of a chemical structure using alphanumeric symbols which can easily be learned by a chemist [14]. In the linear structure representation, each atom of the structure is arbitrarily assigned a unique number, except for the hydrogen atoms. Carbon atoms are shown in the notation only by digits. The other types of atoms carry, in addition, their atomic symbol. In order to describe the bonds between atoms, bond symbols are inserted between the atom numbers. Branches are marked and separated from the other parts of the code by commas [15, 16] (Figure 2-9). The ROSDAL linear notation is rmambiguous but not unique. 

As already mentioned (Section 5.3), the stored structure information in this type of database makes it possible to search for chemical structures in several ways. One method is to draw a structure (via a molecule editor) and to perform either a precise structure search (full structure search) or a search containing part of the input structure (substructure search) (see Sections 6.2-6.4). The databases also allow the searching of chemical names and molecular formulas (see Section 6.1). The search results are in most cases displayed in a graphical manner. 

Reactions can be considered as composite systems containing reactant and product molecules, as well as reaction sites. The similarity of chemical structures is defined by generalized reaction types and by gross structural features. The similarity of reactions can be defined by physicochemical parameters of the atoms and bonds at the reaction site. These definitions provide criteria for searching reaction databases [23],... 

A particularly good selection of physical properties may be spectra, because they are known to depend strongly on the chemical structure. In fact, different types of spectra carry different kinds of structural information, NMR spectra characterize individual carbon atoms in their molecular environment. They therefore correspond quite closely to fragment-based descriptors, as underlined by the success of approaches to predict NMR spectra by fragment codes (see Section 10.2.3). 

The organic chemical structural types believed to be characteristic of coals include complex polycyclic aromatic ring systems with connecting bridges and varied oxygen-, sulfur-, and nitrogen-containing functionalities. 

Only a small amount of work has been done up to now concerning the prediction of bond strengths and other properties based on the results of the analysis of the resin. Ferg et al. [59] worked out correlation equations evaluating the chemical structures in various UF-resins with different F/U molar ratios and different types of preparation on the one hand and the achievable internal bond as well as the subsequent formaldehyde emission on the other hand. These equations are valid only for well defined series of resins. The basic aim of such experiments is the prediction of the properties of the wood-based panels based on the composition and the properties of the resins used. For this purpose various structural components are determined by means of - C NMR and their ratios related to board results. Various papers in the chemical literature describe examples of such correlations, in particular for UF, MF, MUF and PF resins [59-62]. For example one type of equation correlating the dry internal bond (IB) strength (tensile strength perpendicular to the plane of the panel) of a particleboard bonded with PF adhesive resins is as follows [17]... 

Molecular structural analysis is a developing method. The objective of a molecuhu structural analysis is to demonstrate a physical, structural, or chemical similarity between tlie chemical in question and a known toxic chemical tliat produces toxic and healtli effects in experimental animals and/or humans. Unfortunately, scientists do not fully understand tlie effects of slight changes in tlie chemical structure and tlieir biological effect on humans. As a result, tills type of analysis is useful in preliminary studies to identify potential health hazards for further e. amination with more established metliods in short-tenii tests or tests in experimental animals, hi its present stage of development, molecular structural analysis caiuiot be used to make absolute decisions about tlie appropriate levels of exposure of humans to chemicals... 

Isoxazol-5-ones can exist in three different types of structures, cf. 45- 7 (R = H). Early investigators assigned structures to these compounds on the basis of unreliable chemical evidence thus the NH structure 47 was favored because the silver salt of 3-phenyl-isoxazol-5-one reacts with methyl iodide to give a product which was incorrectly (see reference 44) formulated as the iV-incthyl derivatives (cf. also reference 46). Bromine titration data led to assignment of an incorrect structure to 3,4-diphcnylisoxazol-5-one cf. article I (Volume 1), Section II,A. Comparison of the dipole moments of 3-phenyIisoxazol-5-one with those of the methyl derivatives 45 (R = Me) and 46... 

In this chapter, we will discuss the present status of CHIRBASE and describe the various ways in which two (2D) or three-dimensional (3D) chemical structure queries can be built and submitted to the searching system. In particular, the ability of this information system to locate and display neighboring compounds in which specified molecular fragments or partial structures are attached is one of the most important features because this is precisely the type of query that chemists are inclined to express and interpret the answers. Another aspect of the project has been concerned with the interdisciplinary use of CHIRBASE. We have attempted to produce a series of interactive tools that are designed to help the specialists or novices from different fields who have no particular expertise in chiral chromatography or in searching a chemical database. 

The isothermal experimental density data for all the five type of esters were obtained from various literature sources [46-48]. The reported density measurements for DDEs, TGEs, and PTEs were for different temperatures (310-413 K). The chemical-structures of all five esters are shown in Tables 2-6, with the different numbers of methylene groups in the molecules being specified by (Jf). Numerical results from these references are not presented here. 

A hypothetical chemical structure in the interfacial area of the PMPPlC-treated composite [72] is shown in Fig. 10. The long-chain molecules present in PMPPIC interact with polyethylene leading to van der Waals type of interaction.

The optical properties can be tuned by variations of the chromophores (e.g. type of side-chains or length of chromophorc). The alkyl- and alkoxy-substituted polymers emit in the bluc-gnecn range of the visible spectrum with high photolu-inincsccncc quantum yields (0.4-0.8 in solution), while yellow or red emission is obtained by a further modification of the chemical structure of the chromophores. For example, cyano substitution on the vinylene moiety yields an orange emitter.
