  Category:Chemistry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chemistry is the science of matter, its structure and properties, and the transformations it undergoes.
It is often called "the central science" because it is not concerned with the fundamental energy or forces that hold matter together studied in physics or the consequences and characteristic of complex organisms studied in biology (see physics, biology).
Consequently, chemistry includes the study of microscopic phenomena, such as clusters of atoms and their characteristics on the nanometre scale, and macroscopic phenomena, such as the interaction of proteins and DNA in complex solutions and the properties of new materials.

 Analog (disambiguation) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In chemistry, a structural derivative of a parent compound that often differs from it by a single element, see analog (chemistry).
  The spelling analog is predominant in American English, whilst analogue is used in Commonwealth English; see og/ogue.
However, the spellings given above should be retained in cases where it forms part of a name or is an acronym.

 Combinatorial Chemistry
Combinatorial chemistry's potential for accelerating drug discovery-its primary focus so far-has proven to be so compelling that few if any pharmaceutical companies have been able to ignore it, even if they may have wanted to.
Combinatorial chemistry has been referred to in various ways, such as "molecular evolution," "in vitro selection," and" molecular diversity." But Persidis said he believes there is a need for a term that is more encompassing.
Chemistry professor Kim D. Janda of Scripps Research Institute, La Jolla, agreed with Houghten's point about economics." I cannot compete with a major pharmaceutical or biotech company to make libraries," said Janda, noting that government grants for combinatorial research can be difficult to get.

 Erowid Analog Law Vault : Federal Controlled Substance Analogue Act Summary   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
One might say, imprecisely, that Mescaline is an analog of MDMA or that L-Tryptophan is an analog of Psilocybin, because at first glance, these pairs seem to have many similarities in chemical structure.
Here, 'analog' is used to describe two chemical molecules which differ only by the transposition of one atom or simple functional group for another (ie replacing a bromine with iodine, or a hydrogen with a methyl group).
The Federal Analogue Act defines an analog as a substance which is 'substantially similar' to a scheduled substance and has either an effect 'similar to or greater than' a controlled substance or is thought to have such an effect.

 Sigrid Peyerimhoff - Article : The Development of Computational Chemistry in Germany Component of : Early Ideas in the ...
Computational chemistry was able to develop thanks to two major advances: first was the understanding and formulation of a mathematical description of the mkroscopic behavior of matter, and second was the technical development of computers much more powerful than mechanical desk calculators.
The use of computer chemistry for the study of organic reactions (in particular the Wolff rearrangement which involves isomerization of alpha-carbonyl carbenes into ketenes) presented by the IBM crew was an excellent example of how quantum chemistry had joined experimental organic chemistry to study chemical reactions.
The advance of quantum chemistry and computational chemistry and its introduction into the education of chemistry students occurred without the support of large government contracts from the ministry of education or ministry of research and technology and largely without the support of dedicated research institutions such as the Max Planck Institutes or industry.

Analog readers and writers are (IMO) for the most part, more science-oriented than are those who gravitate to the other magazines.
Understanding math, physics, chemistry and others at the layman level to understand hard SF is not really hard, understanding them at the studied and practicing level is.
That being said, it is true that Analog stories on the average are less well written than those elsewhere; though not, I wouldn't think, to the tune of only two being recommendable.

Analog electronics is characterized by electrical signals that move through a continuous range of voltages.
In reality there is no such thing as a "pure" digital signal, because all digital signals are basically analog voltages that try to move from one fixed voltage level to another.
This analog electronics forms the basis of most analog measuring instruments.

While tremendous chemical research efforts have been made in the past years, which established the fundamental structure-activity relationships of the paclitaxel molecule, and provided analogs for biochemical studies to elucidate the precise mechanism of action and for the development of second-generation agents, many areas remain to be explored.
The new method was exemplified by the synthesis of water-soluble paclitaxel analogs with hydrophilic functional groups at the terminal of the C-4 acyl moiety.
An analog that has a bridge to tie up the C-4 acyl group with an inert position would be useful for this purpose.

 New designed paclitaxel analog kills more cancer cells than natural product
Several analogs are in clinical trial, with others in preclinical development.
One problem that paclitaxel and all its analogs share, however, is that they are all highly complex compounds, and cannot be prepared synthetically in a commercially viable way.
Kingston collaborated with Snyder to design a paclitaxel analog that linked in a new way, and Bane tested it in her assays.

 New paclitaxel analog kills more cancer cells than natural product
In an effort to understand the mechanism of action of paclitaxel, we have combined experimental results from REDOR NMR and fluorescence spectroscopic studies with molecular modeling and electron crystallographic studies to design and build bridged paclitaxel analogs that are consistent with biophysical data for the paclitaxel pharmacophore.
The general structure of these analogs includes a bridge from the C-3' phenyl group to the C-4 position, as exemplified by structure 1.
Two of the resulting constrained analogs have tubulin-assembly and cytotoxic activities equal to or better than those of paclitaxel, indicating that our proposed model for the paclitaxel pharmacophore is essentially accurate.
