As Synechocystis can be easily manipulated and as a large number of functional genomics and genetics tools are available, their functions can now be efficiently characterized.
Because many molecular functions (MFs) are inherently specific in their scope, a large number of functional labels have only a few annotated genes (or positive annotations); for instance, in the human GO annotation database (Ashburner et al., 2000), there are currently 8626 GO labels with at least 3 annotations, 4178 of which have <10 annotated genes and 7905 labels have <100 genes.
The mammalian kidney is constructed of a large number of functional units called nephrons.
The acidic oxidation treatment of MWCNTs yielded a large number of functional groups, leading to a sharp increase in Tl (III) adsorption.
It has been found that activated carbon oxidized with a solution prepared by dissolving (NH4 2S2O8 in 1.0 M sulfuric acid has a very large number of functional groups and increases the adsorption of metal ions.
The viscosity in relation to their molecular weight is kept low due to their compact morphology hampering chain entanglements, while on the other hand, the large number of functional end groups enable efficient cross-linking.
Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) for the recognition of proteins are expected to possess high affinity through the establishment of multiple interactions between the polymer matrix and the large number of functional groups of the target.
In addition, whole genome data provide the possibility of inferring phylogenies based on a large number of functional genes, i.e. genes that trace the evolutionary history of adaptation in E. multilocularis and other members of the genus.
In all cases, the one-step synthesis and the resulting highly branched topology of the hyperbranched building blocks is beneficial for the convenient introduction of a large number of functional groups to the substrates.
Growing trends in housing large number of functional units in a single chip, making use of local clocks, reducing energy consumptions, avoiding global wires are the main reasons behind the resurgence of dataflow models.
This can be reasoned with a better wetting of the functionalized carbon paper by the sol-gel and the formation of covalent bonds between Ti and the large number of functional groups on the surface of oxidized carbon paper, which is in good agreement with previous observation for carbon nanotubes.
