Ecological stoichiometry considers how the balance of energy and elements affect and are affected by organisms and their interactions in ecosystems . Ecological stoichiometry has a long history in ecology with early references to the constraints of mass balance made by Liebig, Lotka, and Redfield. This research area in ecology has recently gained momentum by explicitly linking the elemental physiology of organisms to the their food web interactions and ecosystem function. Most work in ecological stoichiometry focuses on the interface between a consumer and its food. This interface, whether it is between plants and their resources or large herbivores and grasses, is often characterized by dramatic differences in the elemental composition of each participant. Consider termites which have a body C N of about 5 but consume wood with a C N ratio of 300 1000. Ecological stoichiometry primarily asks 1 why do elemental imbalances arise in nature? 2 how is consumer physiology and life history affected by elemental imbalances? and 3 what are the subsequent effects on ecological processes in ecosystems? Elemental imbalances are defined by a mismatch between the elemental demands of a consumer and that present in its resources. Mismatches often arise between grazers and their food because plants and their derived organic matter vary considerably in their elemental composition while metazoan consumers have less elemental flexibility. For example, carbon to phosphorus ratios in the suspended organic matter in lakes i.e., algae, bacteria, and detritus can vary between 100 and 1000 whereas ... stoichiometry seeks to discover how the chemical content of organisms shapes their ecology .

In structural biology , a protomer is the structural unit of an oligomeric protein . A protomer can be a protein subunit or several different subunits, that assemble in a defined stoichiometry to form an oligomer . The protomer is the smallest subset of different subunits that form the oligomer. The protomers usually arrange in cyclic symmetry to form closed point group symmetries . Protomers are the main subunit in a viral capsid . br Examples br Different polypeptide chains subunits are conventionally designated by Greek letters. The number of each subunit in the oligomeric complex is indicated by the subscript number, similar to a chemical formula of elements. Hemoglobin consists of two chains and two chains. The oligomer stoichiometry is thus sub 2 sub sub 2 sub . Hemoglobin is a heterotetramer consisting of four subunits two and two . It is a dimer of two protomers.

Orphan date February 2009 Context date October 2009 A Job plot also known as the Method of Continuous Variation or Job s Method is used to determine the stoichiometry of a binding event. This method is widely used in analytical chemistry , instrumental analysis , and advanced chemical equilibrium texts and research articles. In solutions where two species are present i.e. species A and species B , one species A may bind to the other species B . In some cases, more than one A will bind with a single B. One way to determine the amount of A binding to B is by using a Job plot. In this method, the total molar concentration of the two binding partners e.g. a protein and ligand or a metal and a ligand are held constant, but their mole fractions are varied. An observable that is proportional to complex formation such as absorption signal or enzymatic activity is plotted against the mole fractions of these two components. The maximum or minimum on the plot corresponds to the stoichiometry of the two species ref Huang, C.Y. Determination of Binding Stoichiometry by the Continuous Variation Method The Job Plot.

Crystal line materials mainly metal s and alloy s, but also stoichiometry stoichiometric salt s and other materials are made up of solid regions of ordered matter atoms placed in one of a number of ordered formations called Bravais lattice s . These regions are known as crystals. A perfect crystal is one that contains no point, linear, or planar imperfections. There are a wide variety of crystallographic defect s. The hypothetical concept of a perfect crystal is important in the basic formulation of the laws of thermodynamics . In crystallography , the phrase perfect crystal can be used to mean no line or planar defects , as it is difficult to measure small quantities of point defects in an otherwise defect free crystal. Imperfections are created due to gravity.

In chemistry , yield , also referred to as chemical yield and reaction yield , is the amount of substance amount of Product chemistry product obtained in a chemical reaction . ref name vogel Vogel, A.I., Tatchell, A.R., Furnis, B.S., Hannaford, A.J. and P.W.G. Smith. Vogel s Textbook of Practical OrganicHall, 19936 3. ref The absolute yield can be given as the weight in gram s or in Mole unit moles molar yield . The fractional yield , relative yield , or percentage yield , which serve to measure the effectiveness of a Chemical synthesis synthetic procedure , is calculated by dividing the amount of the obtained product in moles by the theoretical yield in moles center math mbox fractional yield frac mbox actual yield mbox theoretical yield math center To obtain the percentage yield , one must multiply the fractional yield by 100 e.g., 0.673 67.3 .. One or more reactants in a chemical reaction are often used in excess. The theoretical yield is therefore calculated based on the molar amount of the limiting reactant , taking into account the stoichiometry of the reaction. For the calculation it is usually assumed that there is only one reaction involved. The ideal or theoretical yield of a chemical reaction would be 100 , a value that is impossible to achieve due to limitations in measurement accuracy. According to Vogel s Textbook of Practical Organic Chemistry, yields around 100 are called quantitative , yields above about 90 are called excellent , yields above about 80 very good , yields above about 70 are called good , yields below about 50 are called fair , yields below about 40 are called poor . ref name vogel Yields may appear to be above 100 when products are impure. Purification steps always lower the yield and the reported yields usually refer to the yield of the final purified product.

Orphan date January 2011 General chemistry sometimes called gen chem for short is a course often taught at the high school and introductory university level. It is intended to serve as a broad introduction to a variety of concepts in chemistry and is widely taught. At the university level, it is also sometimes used as a weed out course for disciplines sometimes related, sometimes not which are perceived to require a high level of intellectual rigor or large course loads. It is also one of the few chemistry courses in most universities that does not explicitly explore a particular discipline such as organic chemistry or analytical chemistry . General chemistry courses typically introduce concepts such as stoichiometry , prediction of reaction products, thermodynamics , nuclear chemistry , electrochemistry , chemical kinetics , and many of the rudiments of physical chemistry . Though the list of subjects covered is typically broad, leading some to criticize both the class and the discipline as encouraging memorization, most general chemistry courses are firmly grounded in several fundamental physical rules for which the primary challenge is understanding when the rules are applicable.

Redfield ratio or Redfield stoichiometry is the molecular ratio of carbon , nitrogen and phosphorus in plankton . The stoichiometry stoichiometric ratio is C N P 106 16 1. The term is named after the American oceanographer Alfred C. Redfield , who first described the ratio in his article in 1934 Redfield 1934 . As a physiologist , Redfield participated in several voyages on board Atlantis, the first ship built for marine research. Alfred Redfield analyzed thousands of samples of marine biomass from all ocean regions. He found that globally the elemental composition of marine organic matter dead and living was remarkably constant. The ratios of carbon to nitrogen to phosphorus remained the same from coastal to open ocean regions. The elemental ratios he found were C N P 106 16 1. This is known collectively as the Redfield ratio or Redfield Richards Ratio . Explanation Redfield explained the remarkable congruence between the chemistry of the deep ocean and the chemistry of living things in the surface ocean. Both have N P ratios of about 16 atoms to atoms . When nutrients are not limiting factor limiting , the mole unit molar element ratio C N P in most phytoplankton is 106 16 1. Redfield thought it wasn t purely coincidental that the vast oceans would have a chemistry perfectly suited to the requirements of living organisms. Almost a quarter century after first discovering the ratios in 1934 , Redfield proposed the seminal idea of the biological control of chemical factors in the ocean Redfield, 1958 . He considered how the cycles of not just N and P but also C and O could interact to result in this match. Although the Redfield ratio is remarkably stable in the deep ocean, phytoplankton may have large variations in the C N P composition, and their life strategy play a role in the C N P ratio, which has made some researchers speculate that the Redfield ratio perhaps is a general ... ecological stoichiometry example References Arrigo, K.R., Marine microorganisms and global nutrient ... more details
