Crystallization junctions

In this section, we present the morphology development of neat elastomeric polypropylene as well as its blend with POE by means of optical microscopy and atomic force microscopy. ePP is essentially atactic polypropylene, which is amorphous in character, but contains some level of isotacticity (26). The incorporation of crystal-lizable iPP blocks provides the physical junctions to these amorphous ePP to possess elastomeric properties like a network in the solid state, but these crystal junctions can be removed upon melting, and thus affords melt processability like thermoplastics. 

Given the difficulty of obtaining three-dimensional crystals of membrane proteins, it is not surprising that the electron microscope technique is now widely used to study large membrane-bound complexes such as the acetylcholine receptor, rhodopsin, ion pumps, gap junctions, water channels and light-harvesting complexes, which crystallize in two dimensions. 

The large-scale reproducible manufacture of minute, electronically-stable, single-crystal transistor junctions is a triumph of the elegant techniques of solid-state chemical synthesis. The sequence of steps is illustrated in diagrams (i)-(v). 

Labb recommends a slight modiflcation of the above process, by which he claims that the separation of crystals at the junction between the unabsorbed oil and the sulphite liquor is prevented, and greater accuracy in reading off the. percentage therefore attained. He employs a stoppered bulb, prolonged at the bottom into a graduated cylindrical closed tube, and into this are introduced 5 c.c. of the oil, together with...

FIG. 13 Synthetic DN A motifs for the construction of DNA framework Three- [75] (13) and four-arm (14) DNA junction [8] DNA double-crossover (DX) molecules 15,16 were used for initial studies of enzymatic oligomerization [79]. The DX motif 17, containing four cohesive ends of individual nucleotide sequence, was used for the construction of two-dimensional DNA crystals [80].
