IHC: Prolonged fixation in buffered formalin can destroy the epitope. The antibody may be used at a dilution of 1:50 to 1:150 with AutoProbe III (GTX28620). Dilute according to the particular application being used. In general, the 0.05M Borate pH 8.0 containing 0.15M Sodium Chloride, 0.05% Sodium Azide, is a good diluent to use with most antibodies.
Symmetry arguments suggest that most ligands engage metals via multiple bonds. The term 'metal ligand multiple bond is often reserved for ligands of the type CR n and NR n (n = 0, 1, 2) and OR n (n = 0, 1) where R is H or an organic substituent, or pseudohalide.s a cautionary note, the classification of a metal ligand bond as being multiple bond order is ambiguous and even arbitrary because bond order is a formalism.
Covalent bond: bond in which one or more pairs of electrons are shared by two atoms. Ionic bond: bond in which one or more electrons from one atom are removed and attached to another atom, resulting in positive and negative ions which attract each other. Other types of bonds include metallic bonds and hydrogen bonding. The attractive forces between molecules in a liquid can be characterized as van der Waals bonds. Covalent chemical bonds involve the sharing of a pair of valence electrons by two atoms, in contrast to the transfer of electrons in ionic bonds. Such bonds lead to stable molecules if they share electrons in such a way as to create a noble gas configuration for each atom.
