Image FIPHisto1.jpg frame right FIP infected kidney showing inflammatory response Feline infectious peritonitis FIP is a fatal incurable disease that affects cat s. It is believed by some to be caused by Feline Infectious Peritonitis Virus FIPV , which is a mutation of Feline Enteric Coronavirus FECV Feline Coronavirus FeCoV . Although there appears to be a connection between FIP and feline coronavirus, no clear cause and effect has yet been proven. Experts do not always agree on the specifics of FIP. However, the most common theory is that the normally benign FECV mutates into FIPV. The mutated virus has the ability to invade and grow in certain white blood cell s, namely macrophages. The immune system s response causes an intense inflammation inflammatory reaction in the containing tissues. This disease is generally fatal http www.vet.cornell.edu fhc brochures fip.html . However, its incidence rate is roughly 1 in 5000 for households with one or two cats. A nasally administered vaccine for FIP is available, but controversial and isn t proven to be highly effective. http www.vetinfo.com cencyclopedia cefip.html . Great strides are being made with an experimental polyprenyl immunostimulant being manufactered by Sass and Sass and tested by Dr. Al Legendre. In one case study, a female cat diagnosed with dry FIP has survived 26 months from the date of definitive diagnosis Fall 2009 . See also the special article about Feline Coronavirus .

distinguish chemical potential In chemistry , Chemical energy is the potential of a chemical substance to undergo a transformation through a chemical reaction or, to transform other chemical substances. Breaking or making of chemical bonds involves energy, which may be either absorbed or evolved from a chemical system. Energy that can be released or absorbed because of a reaction between a set of chemical substances is equal to the difference between the energy content of the products and the reactants. This change in energy is change in internal energy of a chemical reaction.

The chemical space of all possible chemical structure s is extraordinarily large. Most stored chemical libraries do not typically have a fully represented or sampled chemical space mostly because of storage and cost concerns.
