Defined high-purity products with

Peptides have many desirable properties as components of synthetic vectors. Peptide synthetic chemistry is well established, with the convenience of automated synthesis resulting in a well-defined, high-purity product of low toxicity and immunogenicity for in vivo use. Furthermore, even short peptides of 7 to 30 amino acids can accommodate enormous structural diversity, functionality, and combinations of properties. 

An enrichment is defined as a separation process that results in the increase in concentration of one or mote species in one product stream and the depletion of the same species in the other product stream. Neither high purity not high recovery of any components is achieved. Gas enrichment can be accompHshed with a wide variety of separation methods including, for example, physical absorption, molecular sieve adsorption, equiHbrium adsorption, cryogenic distillation, condensation, and membrane permeation. 

A high purity titanium dioxide of poorly defined crystal form (ca 80% anatase, 20% mtile) is made commercially by flame hydrolysis of titanium tetrachloride. This product is used extensively for academic photocatalytic studies (70). The gas-phase oxidation of titanium tetrachloride, the basis of the chloride process for the production of titanium dioxide pigments, can be used for the production of high purity titanium dioxide, but, as with flame hydrolysis, the product is of poorly defined crystalline form unless special dopants are added to the principal reactants (71). 

Enzymes are excellent catalysts for two reasons great specificity and high turnover rates. With but few exceptions, all reac tions in biological systems are catalyzed by enzymes, and each enzyme usually catalyzes only one reaction. For most of the important enzymes and other proteins, the amino-acid sequences and three-dimensional structures have been determined. When the molecular struc ture of an enzyme is known, a precise molecular weight could be used to state concentration in molar units. However, the amount is usually expressed in terms of catalytic activity because some of the enzyme may be denatured or otherwise inactive. An international unit (lU) of an enzyme is defined as the amount capable of producing one micromole of its reaction product in one minute under its optimal (or some defined) reaction conditions. Specific activity, the activity per unit mass, is an index of enzyme purity. 

ARO reaction with phenols and alcohols as nucleophiles is a logical extension of HKR of epoxides to synthesize libraries of stereochemically defined ring-opened products in high optical purity. To this effect Annis and Jacobsen [69] used their polymer-supported Co(salen) complex 36 as catalyst for kinetic resolution of epoxides with phenols to give l-aiyloxy-2-alcohols in high yield, purity and ee (Scheme 17). Conducting the same reaction in the presence of tris(trifluoromethyl)methanol, a volatile, nonnucleophilic protic acid additive accelerates KR reaction with no compromise with enantioselectivity and yield. Presumably the additive helped in maintaining the Co(III) oxidation state of the catalyst. 

In molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) [317], molecular beams are used to deposit epitaxial layers onto the surface of a heated crystalline substrate (typically at 500-600° C). Epitaxial means that the crystal structure of the grown layer matches the crystal structure of the substrate. This is possible only if the two materials are the same (homoepitaxy) or if the crystalline structure of the two materials is very similar (heteroepitaxy). In MBE, a high purity of the substrates and the ion beams must be ensured. Effusion cells are used as beam sources and fast shutters allow one to quickly disrupt the deposition process and create layers with very sharply defined interfaces. Molecular beam epitaxy is of high technical importance in the production of III-V semiconductor compounds for sophisticated electronic and optoelectronic devices. Overviews are Refs. [318,319],... 

CMC information It should contain sufficient detail to assure identification, quality, purity, and strength of the investigational drug. It should include stability data of duration appropriate to the length of the proposed study. FDA concerns to be addressed focus on products made with unknown or impure components, products with chemical structures known to be of likely high toxicity, products known to be chemically unstable, and products with an impurity profile indicative of a health hazard or insufficiently defined to assess potential health hazard, or poorly characterized master or working cell bank. 

Solvolysis (chemolysis) is defined as a techniqne which obtains the raw materials, snch as TPA, DMT, EG monomers and oligomers as the reverse process of PET prodnction by saponification or transesterification with water, methanol or EG. For the process of PET production raw materials of high purity are obligatory. Polycondensation is not a chain reaction, but a step reaction. Impurities can stop the polycondensation at low molar masses, so high-purity standards are also reqnired for the solvolysis prodncts. The choice of process depends on the starting material and the demand for solvolysis prodncts. 

Alkoxide manufacturing technology for aluminas and related products as developed by the CONDEA group offers the following advantages to the catalyst manufacturer who is looking for high purity raw material with defined physical properties.
