Coupling is brought about when an enzyme causes a substrate that is to be consumed ... to react with one of the cell’s small-molecule energy donors (say, ATP) to give rise to an energized activated substrate molecule. The subsequent decomposition of this activated substrate in the synthetic reaction will release significant energy, which will result in the synthetic reaction .... The need for cells to carry on simultaneously many different coupled reactions requires cells to devote a significant part of their total metabolic activity to the constant replenishment of their ATP supply. In animal cells and in most bacteria, the formation of ATP is coupled with the breakdown of food molecules that are even more rich in energy.

As a user you run a "client" program which connects to a "server" in an IRC network. All servers are interconnected and pass messages from user to user over the IRC network. One server can be connected to several other servers and up to hundreds of clients. Several larger and smaller IRC networks exist. The largest one, called EFnet(Eris Free net), usually serves over 15000 users at any given moment. Smaller ones, like Undernet(10000) and Dalnet(5000), are a lot less populated but often offer more stability and convenience. 1, record 13, English, - IRC%20network

The Los Angeles-based RockNet, has a few information menus on concerts and bands such as the Spin Doctors, as well as some on-line distribution capability. Kaleidospace not only has on-line and interactive features for music, it also covers visual arts and theatre.

Sulfonamides are known to interfere with the plasma protein binding of numerous other drugs. These agents, in turn, may compete with the sulfonamides for available binding sites. The net result depends on the relative concentrations of the agents involved and their binding affinities; but, in theory, the plasma level of free sulfonamide or other drug may be altered, with enhancement of its action or toxicity, whenever a sulfonamide is used concurrently with another agent that is markedly protein-bound. 1, record 18, English, - protein%2Dbound

During the past several decades the coastal States of the world have been extending seaward their claims to jurisdiction over what has traditionally been recognized as the free seas. Claims have been both geographical, applied to specific maritime areas enclosed by boundaries, and functional, pertaining to certain competences such as control over fishing or drilling for hydrocarbons on the continental shelf. The net effect of these claims has been the gradual partitioning of nearly one-third of the global ocean into various types of maritime zones. The process of expanding maritime claims, sometimes termed "creeping jurisdiction" or "the ocean enclosure movement", may be approaching a temporary plateau. 1, record 19, English, - ocean%20enclosure%20movement

L'extension des limites de la juridiction des États riverains dans les zones marines adjacentes est, de toute évidence, la principale caractéristique de l'évolution du droit de la mer depuis la fin du deuxième conflit mondial. La Conférence de Genève de 1958 consacre, à travers les conventions qu'elle a adoptées, cette évolution : création de la zone contigue, conditions moins strictes pour le tracé des lignes de base droites, et surtout reconnaissance de droits souverains à l'État riverain sur les ressources de son plateau continental. [...] La Conférence de Genève de 1958, contrairement à ce qu'on aurait pu penser, loin de stabiliser le mouvement exclusiviste, le stimulera en provoquant l'exaspération de certains États, l'arrivée en masse sur la scène internationale de nouveaux États ne faisant qu'accentuer ce mouvement; la preuve en est que la décennie 60 sera le témoin d'une multitude de déclarations unilatérales par lesquelles des États riverains étendront leur juridiction. [...] C'est en partie pour mettre fin à cette «juridiction rampante» que la délégation maltaise saisissait en 1967 les Nations-Unies de la question du régime juridique du fond des mers au-delà des limites de la juridiction générale. 1, record 19, French, - mouvement%20exclusiviste
