More on capitalization

元素記号と化学反応の大文字表記について(I)

◎ Capitalization of reaction names preceded by element symbols (I)
Some reaction names are preceded by element symbols. The first letter of the reaction name is lowercased when used in the middle of a sentence. Whereas, the first letter of the reaction name is capitalized when used at the beginning of a sentence or in a title/heading.

Beginning of a sentence:
Wrong: N-oxidation of 2-AF was catalyzed by hepatic
microsomes from rats.
Right: N-Oxidation of 2-AF was catalyzed by hepatic
microsomes from rats


Middle of a sentence:
Wrong: However, N-Oxidation of MOCA was preferentially catalyzed.
Right: However, N-oxidation of MOCA was preferentially catalyzed.
