In mathematics , restriction of scalars also known as Weil restriction is a functor which, for any finite field extension extension of fields L k and any algebraic variety X over L , produces another variety Res sub L k sub X , defined over k . It is useful for reducing questions about varieties over large fields to questions about more complicated varieties over smaller fields. Definition Let L k be a finite extension of fields, and X a variety defined over L . The functor math mathrm Res L k X math from k scheme mathematics schemes sup op sup to sets is defined by math mathrm Res L k X S X S times k L math In particular, the k rational points of math mathrm Res L k X math are the L rational points of X .

Unreferenced auto yes date December 2009 Unreferenced date May 2010 MHC restricted antigen recognition , or MHC restriction , refers to the fact that a given T cell will recognize a peptide antigen only when it is bound to a host body s own Major histocompatibility complex MHC molecule. Normally, as T cells are stimulated only in the presence of self MHC molecules, antigen is recognized only as peptides bound to self MHC molecules. MHC restriction is particularly important when primary lymphocytes are developing and differentiating in the thymus or bone marrow . It is at this stage that T cells die by apoptosis if they express high affinity for self antigens presented by an MHC molecule or express too low affinity for self MHC. This is ensured through two distinct developmental stages positive selection and negative selection. Developing T cells in the primary lymphoid organs thymus first express neither CD4, CD8 nor TcR T cell receptor . This is referred to as double negative selection. After differentiation, the T cell expresses both CD4 , CD8 and T cell receptor TcR . This is referred to as double positive selection. It is at this stage that select T cells undergo apoptosis if they are found to select for self antigen. This is a necessary step as it prevents T cells from cascading an autoimmunity autoimmune response against its host tissues. Ultimately, the T cells differentiate and mature to express either CD4 and TcR or CD8 and TcR. At this point the T cells leave the primary lymphoid organ and enter the blood stream. Conversely, it is thought that MHC Restriction plays a pivotal role in the antiretroviral therapy used to treat HIV AIDS as it can increase the CD4 cell count thus increasing the likelihood for an immune response to be prompted. citation needed date September 2011 DEFAULTSORT Mhc Restriction Category Immune system Immunology stub de MHC Restriktion ... more details

unreferenced date March 2008 trading blocs A trade restriction is an artificial restriction on the trade of goods between two countries. It is the result of protectionism . However, the term is controversial because what one part may see as a trade restriction another may see as a way to protect consumers from inferior, harmful or dangerous products. For instance Germany required the production of beer to adhere to Reinheitsgebot its purity law . The law, originally implemented in Bavaria in 1516 and eventually becoming law for Unification of Germany newly unified Germany in 1871, made many foreign beers unable to be sold in Germany as beer . This law was struck down in 1987 by the European Court of Justice , but is still voluntarily followed by many German breweries. Rectangular headlamp s were promoted in the United States where round lamps were required until 1975. By 1979, the majority of new cars now had the Rectangle rectangular headlamps. Again, the U.S. permitted only two standardized sizes of rectangle rectangular sealed beam lamp A system of two 200 mm x 142 mm high low beam units corresponding to the existing 7 round format, or a system of four 165 mm x 100 mm units two high low and two high beam corresponding to the existing 5 inch 146 mm round format. In 1968 the United States Department of Transportation U.S. DOT outlawed any decorative or protective element in front of the headlamps whenever the headlamps are switched on. Glass covered headlamps, used on e.g. the Jaguar E Type , the pre 1968 VW Beetle , the Porsche 356 , the Citro n DS and Ferrari Daytona . therefore had to be equipped with uncovered headlamps for the US market, further altering the look of European models sold in the United States. This change meant that vehicles designed for solid aerodynamic performance could not achieve it for the US market.

Unreferenced date December 2009 An adaptive enzyme or inducible enzyme is an enzyme that is gene expression expressed only under conditions in which it is clear of adaptive value, as opposed to a constitutive enzyme which is produced all the time. The Inducible enzyme is used for the breaking down of things in the cell. It is also a part of the Operon Model, which illustrates a way for genes to turn on and off . The Inducer causes the gene to turn on controlled by the amount of reactant which turns the gene on . Then there s the repressor protein that turns genes off. The inducer can remove this repressor, turning genes back on. The operator is a section of DNA where the repressor binds to shut off certain genes the promoter is the section of DNA where the RNA polymerase binds. Lastly, the regulatory gene is the gene for the repressor protein. An example of inducible enzyme is COX 2 which is synthesized in macrophages to produce Prostaglandin E sub 2 sub while the constitutive enzyme COX 1 another isozyme in COX family is always produced in variety of organisms in body like stomach .

For enzyme mimic enzyme mimic Unreferenced date January 2010 Image Artificial enzyme.jpg thumb 310px Schematic drawing of artificial phosphorylase An artificial enzyme is a synthetic, organic molecule prepared to recreate the active site of an enzyme. Enzyme catalysis of chemical reactions occur with high selectivity and rate in a small part of the enzyme macromolecule known as the active site . There, the binding of a substrate biochemistry substrate close to functional group s in the enzyme causes catalysis by so called proximity effects. It is therefore possible to create similar catalysts from small molecule mimics of enzyme active sites by combining, in a small molecule, the ability to bind substrate with catalytic functional groups. Since the artificial enzymes need to bind molecules, they are made based on a host molecule such as a cyclodextrin , crown ethers or calixarene etc. A number of artificial enzymes have been reported catalysing various reactions with rate increases up to 10 sup 3 sup this is nevertheless substantially lower than natural enzymes that typically causes rate increases above 10 sup 6 sup . One of the pioneers in artificial enzyme research is chemist Ronald Breslow . New approaches based on amino acid s or peptide s as characteristic molecular moieties have led to a significant expansion of the field of artificial enzymes or enzyme mimics. For instance, recent results by the group of Rob Liskamp http www.pharm.uu.nl ffwuk.htm? medchem have shown that scaffolded histidine residues can be used as mimics of certain metalloproteins and enzymes. Especially the structural mimicry of certain copper proteins e.g. hemocyanin , tyrosinase and catechol oxidase , containing so called type 3 copper binding sites, has been shown.

An enzyme mimic is a small molecule complex that models the molecular structure, spectroscopic properties, or reactivity of an enzyme , sometimes called bioinspired complexes. ref Stephen J. Lippard, Jeremy M. Berg, Principles of Bioinorganic Chemistry , University Science Books, 1994 , ISBN 0 935702 72 5 ref Overview Enzymes are proteins which catalyze a reaction . Like any other protein an enzyme is an amino acid polymer with added Cofactor biochemistry cofactors and other post translational modifications . Often most of the amino acid polymer is indirectly involved with the enzymes function, perhaps providing ancillary structure or connectivity, indirect activity regulation, or molecular identification of the enzyme. As a result most enzymes are large molecules weighing many kilodalton s. This bulk can obscure various investigative techniques such as NMR , Electron paramagnetic resonance EPR , electrochemistry , crystallography , among others. It is standard practice to compare spectroscopic data from enzymes to similar spectroscopic data derived from better characterized small molecules. In this way the understanding of metalloenzymes and other metalloprotein s have developed. In many cases the small molecule analogs were created for other reason, however, it has been increasingly common for group to intentionally make small molecule analogs also known as enzyme mimics. These enzyme mimics are prime examples of bioinorganic chemistry . Motivation Most enyzme mimics studies are motivated by a combination of factors including factors that are unrelated to the enyzme.
