Crystallization insertion mode

It is a general phenomenon in polymers that, after completion of the primary crystallization at the first fixed temperature, crystallization does not come to an end but continues upon further cooling. The temperature range where crystallization occurs and, consequently, also the range of melting during a subsequent heating are always broad. There are two different processes which can contribute to this secondary crystallization , the insertion mode and the surface crystallization , and they will be discussed in Sect. 4.3. 

Surface crystallization and melting being the exception, the insertion mode is the rule and is indeed mainly responsible for the generally observed secondary crystallization. As it does not require a mobile crystalline phase, it can always occur. 

Fig. 17.10 Schafer et al.14 have observed single mode lasing from core shell CdSe/ZnS nano crystal quantum dots in a glycerine water mixture. The fluorescence spectrum (black line) showed clear peaks of WGM and single mode lasing (grey line) was observed for sufficiently small droplets ( 10 pm) and high pump laser intensities (53 mJ crrT2 in 10 ns pulses at 532 nm). Insert shows the droplet trapped between the electrodes. Reprinted from Ref. 14 with permission. 2008 American Chemical Society...

These liner exchange systems make feasible yet another analysis mode direct thermal desorption (DTD). Here the liner or an insert is packed with the solid sample. The liner exchange system can then be used in place of a conventional autosampler. The liner is automatically inserted into the PTV and the volatiles thermally desorbed onto the column. Some analysts may feel uneasy about such desorption from the solid phase how does one know that all of the volatile analytes have been released from the sample crystal lattice However, where applicable, this approach may not be as difficult to validate as one might imagine. For instance, the PTV can be cooled after the analyte transfer, and then, at the end of the chromatographic temperature programme, reheated to repeat the process. Ideally all of the analyte should transfer in the first cycle and none in the second, demonstrating that complete desorption occurs in the method. 

The crystal structure of the cyclophilin-CsA-calcineurin ternary structure has yet to be resolved but the ternary structure formed by rapamycin-mediated interactions between FKBP12 and the 12-kDa fKBP-rapamycin binding (FRB) domain of the 289-kDa FRAP protein has been determined with 2.7 A resolution (Choi et al, 1996), which has more recently been refined to 2.2 A resolution (Liang et al, 1999). The structure of this complex is shown in Fig. 6 (see color insert). Several similarities as well as differences in the overall mode of interaction can be seen relative to what is observed with the FKBP-FK506-cal-cineurin structure. As was seen with the FKBP-FK506 calcineurin ternary complex, there are no overall gross conformational changes...

(a,b) Crystals are solubilized and activated to give rise to the monomeric toxin, (c) The toxin monomer binds in cadherin receptor, followed by proteolytic cleavage of helix a-1. (d) The tetramer is formed by inter monomeric contacts, (e) The toxin oligomer binds to the aminopeptidase-N receptor (APN receptor). The APN receptor and oligomeric Cry toxin localize to lipid rafts, (f) Following a conformational change, the oligomer inserts into membrane, forming a tetrameric pore.

The structure of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) (Acharya et al, 1989) demonstrated that surface receptor interactions could use a quite different mode of attachment. This was developed further by visualizing FMDV-receptor interactions crystallographically (Fry et al, 1999b). Furthermore, in the case of the binding of antibodies by viruses, in the single case for which the crystal structure of a virus-antibody complex has been accomplished, residues from the antibody paratope were found inserted into the canyon (Smith et al, 1996). Thus, although residues within the canyon are more conserved than those outside, and selected... 

Analogous heterobimetallic tripodal amido complexes 1275 (M = Fe, Ru) undergo highly selective reactions with heteroallenes X=C=Y (C02, CS2, OGNPh, SCNMe, SCNPh) to yield the insertion products 1276 (Equation (65)).962 Single crystal X-ray structures of the products (1276 M = Fe X = Y = S X = S, Y = NPh) established the mode of coordination of the substrates to the two metal centers as depicted in Equation (65). The Zr-Fe complex CpFe(CO)2Zr(OBut)Cp2 reacts with 1 equiv. of CS2 to form the analogous stable dithiocarboxylate complex.963...

Obviously, the resonant-cavity must conform to a frequency mode of emission of our crystal. To build such a cavity, we find that we must carefully control its physical dimensions so that a specific wavelength of emission will build in Intensity and control the wavelength of coherent emission. To do this, we insert mirrors (first surface) at both ends of the crystal so that many reflections of a photon can occur tluroii the crystal, as illustrated in the following diagram, given as 5.8.68. on the next page.
