At least all transported chemicals that are classified as dangerous according to the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods—Model Regulations ( Orange Book ) should be considered. At a further stage, companies may decide to also take into account the chemicals that are not classified by these Recommendations.

Figure 9.6. Structural models for complexes between Cu(ll) and peptides derived from the A/3 peptide sequence, (a) Proposed model for Cu(ll) coordination with a peptide mode for which Cu(ll) binding inhibits fibril formation, (b) Crystal structure for a Cu(ll)-peptlde complex for which Cu(ll) binding promotes fibril formation, (c) Structural model for peptide arrangements in fibrils. With the exception of one histidine side chain, only the peptide backbone is shown. The Cu(ll) ions are depicted as small spheres. The dotted lines indicate hydrogen bonding between peptides arranged in a parallel fi-sheet. Adapted from Dong, J. Canfield, J. M. Mehta, A. K. Shakes, J. , Tian, B. Childers, W. S. Simmons, J. A.
