TOPS-10
other
TOPS-10 System (Timesharing / Total Operating System-10) is a discontinued operating system from Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) for the PDP-10 (or DECsystem-10) mainframe computer family.
other
Launched in 1967, TOPS-10 evolved from the earlier "Monitor" software for the PDP-6 and PDP-10 computers; this was renamed to TOPS-10 in 1970.
other
TOPS-10 supported shared memory and allowed the development of one of the first true multiplayer computer games.
other
The game, called DECWAR, was a text-oriented "Star Trek" type game.
other
Users at terminals typed in commands and fought each other in real time.
other
TOPS-10 was also the home of the original Multi User Dungeon, MUD, the fore runner to today's MMORPGs.
other
Another groundbreaking application was called "FORUM".
other
This application was perhaps the first so-called "CB Simulator" that allowed users to converse with one another in what is now known as a chat room.
other
This application showed the potential of multi-user communication and led to the development of CompuServe's chat application.
other
TOPS-10 had a very robust application programming interface (API) that used a mechanism called a UUO or "Unimplemented User Operation".
other
UUOs implemented operating system calls in a way that made them look like machine instructions.
other
The Monitor Call API was very much ahead of its time, like most of the operating system, and made system programming on DECsystem-10s simple and powerful.
other
The TOPS-10 scheduler supported prioritized run queues, and appended a process onto a queue depending on its priority.
other
The system also included User file and Device independence.
other
The following list of commands are supported by TOPS-10.
other
The PDP-6 Monitor software was first released in 1964.
other
Support for the PDP-10's KA10 processor was added to the Monitor in release 2.18 in 1967.
other
The TOPS-10 name was first used in 1970 for release 5.01.
other
Release 6.01 (May 1974) was the first TOPS-10 to implement virtual memory (demand paging), enabling programs larger than physical memory to be run.
other
From release 7.00 onwards, symmetrical multiprocessing was available (as opposed to the master/slave arrangement used before).
other
The final release of TOPS-10 was 7.04 in 1988.
other
Hobbyists are now entitled to set up and use TOPS-10 under a Hobbyist's License.
other
The easiest way for the hobbyist to run TOPS-10 is to acquire a suitable emulator and an operating system image.

Chemical specificity
other
Chemical specificity is the ability of a protein's binding site to bind specific ligands.
other
The fewer ligands a protein can bind, the greater its specificity.
other
Specificity describes the strength of binding between a given protein and ligand.
other
This relationship can be described by a dissociation constant, which characterizes the balance between bound and unbound states for the protein-ligand system.
other
In the context of a single enzyme and a pair of binding molecules, the two ligands can be compared as stronger or weaker ligands (for the enzyme) on the basis of their dissociation constants.
other
(A lower value corresponds to a stronger binding.)
other
Specificity for a set of ligands is unrelated to the ability of an enzyme to catalyze a given reaction, with the ligand as a substrate
other
If a given enzyme has a high chemical specificity, this means that the set of ligands to which it binds is limited, such that neither binding events nor catalysis can occur at an appreciable rate with additional molecules.
other
An example of a protein-ligand pair whose binding activity can be described as highly specific is the antibody-antigen system.
other
Conversely, an example of a protein-ligand system that can bind substrates and catalyze multiple reactions effectively is the Cytochrome P450 system, which can be considered a promiscuous enzyme due to its broad specificity for multiple ligands.
other
The interactions between the protein and ligand substantially affect the specificity between the two entities.
other
Electrostatic interactions and Hydrophobic interactions are known to be the most influential in regards to where specificity between two molecules is derived from.
other
The strength of these interactions between the protein and ligand positively correlate with their specificity for one another.
other
Enzyme specificity refers to the interactions between any particular enzyme and its corresponding substrate.
other
In addition to the specificity in binding its substrates, correct proximity and orientation as well as binding thee transition state provide an additional layer of enzyme specificity.
other
Enzymes vary in the specificity of the substrates that they bind to, in order to carry out specific physiological functions.
other
Some enzymes may need to be less specific and therefore may bind to numerous substrates to catalyze a reaction.
other
On the other hand, certain physiological functions require extreme specificity of the enzyme for a single specific substrate in order for a proper reaction and physiological phenotype to occur.
other
The different types of categorizations differ based on their specificity for substrates.
other
Most generally, they are divided into four groups: absolute, group, linkage, and stereochemical specificity.
other
Absolute specificity can be thought of as being exclusive, in which an enzyme acts upon one specific substrate.
other
Absolute specific enzymes will only catalyze one reaction with its specific substrate.
other
For example, lactase is an enzyme specific for the degradation of lactose into two sugar monosaccharides, glucose and galactose.
