RNAi has emerged as an essential laboratory tool for elucidation of gene function and has rapidly been adopted for functional genomics, pathway analysis and target validation.
Enzymatic digestion is a useful tool for elucidation of structural information and for quantitating polysaccharides and oligosaccharides [ 11].
Dissolution testing in pharmacy studies the first two processes and is not only a vital tool for assessment of quality of a pharmaceutical, but also a tool for elucidation and simulation of these effects in vitro.
These systems should provide excellent tools for the elucidation of DNA damage processes.
The major components of EDA are (i) separation including extraction, clean up and fractionation, (ii) biotesting, (iii) chemical analysis including computational tools for structure elucidation and (iv) confirmation.
Geological and genetic data in combination provide powerful tools for the elucidation of local and regional geomorphic evolution where river capture is an important process.
Such software includes tools for structure elucidation and mass spectrum interpretation, chromatographic peak deconvolution software, biomarker identification and alignment software, software for molecular formula determinations, software for mass spectral library search and chemical structure and descriptor generation (see Table 3).
This attempt to use molecular tools for the elucidation of relationship between two morphologically different (e.g., gametophytic vs. tetrasporophytic) species of the calcified red algal family Galaxauraceae is only beginning to scratch the surface of this taxonomic puzzle.
This will be achieved by developing integrated analytical and computer tools for structure elucidation of polar compounds, including the development of new approaches for retention and fragmentation prediction, diagnostic derivatization techniques, as well as metabolite prediction and identification in treatment processes in the water cycle.
This reflects in existing computational tools for NMR elucidation and assignment: either they are not fully-automatic, requiring preliminary analysis by the user [10, 11], or resort to chemical shift predictions [10, 12 18] that rely on databases of spectra assigned 'manually' by trained experts.
