| Abstract | Toxicological risk assessments in the 21st century are increasingly being driven by the Adverse Outcome Pathways (AOP) conceptual framework in which the Molecular Initiating Event (MIE) is of fundamental importance to pathway progression. For those MIEs that involve covalent chemical reactions, such as protein haptenation, determination of relative rates and mechanisms of reactions is a prerequisite for their understanding. The utility of NMR spectroscopy as an experimental technique for effectively providing reaction rate and mechanistic information for early assessment of likely MIE(s) has been demonstrated. To demonstrate the concept, model systems exemplifying common chemical reactions involved in the covalent modification of proteins were utilized; these involved chemical reactions of electrophilic species (representing different mechanistic classes) with simple amine and thiol nucleophiles acting as surrogates for the reactive groups of lysine and cysteine protein side chains respectively. Such molecular interactions are recognized as critical mechanisms in a variety of chemical and drug toxicities, including respiratory and skin sensitization and liver toxicity as well as being the key mechanism of action for a number of therapeutic agents. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
