However, glucose is not an efficient glycating agent as it overwhelmingly adopts its thermodynamically stable pyranose form, rather than the reactive open-chain aldehyde form.

Moreover, there were 83 CSF samples with only two-fold differences in the titres of VDRL and TRUST, accounting for 45.6% of the CSF samples with both VDRL-reactive and TRUST-reactive (83/182, open boxes of figure 1).
Are you reactive or open?
The possibility to preserve reactive groups opens new applications of the poly(ionic liquid)s as reactive blend components.
The indolequinone structure in the pro-drugs was designed to have an open reactive point at the N-1 position offering the possibility of further conjugation with macromolecules to modify the bio-availability of these pro-drugs in vivo.
In 1871, in this book called "Theory of Heat", Maxwell speculated the idea of "a being, who can see the individual molecules" and who has enough reactive intelligence to open and close a unique small hole existing between two communicating vessels (called 'A' and 'B').
Our QM/MM model shows good agreement with the open (reactive) state of the enzyme, and a comparison can be found online in Supplementary Figure 2 and Supplementary Table 2, Supporting Information.
For example, the lower resonance energy in cyclobutadiene makes it more energetic (and far more reactive) than its open-chain counterpart 1,3-butadiene.
