Utilization of a domain linker to control electron flow is not unique to NOS. Like NOS, P450BM-3 has the heme and reductase domains fused to give a heme-FMN-FAD architecture (75). In addition, the linker between the heme and FMN domains is critical for electron transfer. Engineering studies on the P450BM-3 linker reveals that the length of the linker but not the sequence is critical in controlling the FMN-to-heme electron transfer reaction 135,136). Similar experiments with flavocy-tochrome b2 137) illustrate the importance of the linker in interdomain electron transfer, presumably by assisting in proper orientation of redox partners. The same appears to be true for NOS, with the important... 

As the above examples illustrate, the kinetics of surface-catalytic events depend on complex structural and electronic considerations that, thus far, have not been understood at the level of detail that would permit predictive mathematical modeling and therefore rational design. For this reason, the molecular-level engineering of catalytic surfaces harbors perhaps the greatest future potential for chemical reaction engineering, at least from the standpoint of the design of catalysts. 

To achieve a manufacturable system for sub-0.5-pm patterning, extremely precise control of the molecular properties, structure, composition, and purity of the polymer is required (Table 4). Meeting these requirements provides intellectual challenges in ultrapurification reaction engineering and chemical synthesis. An illustration of the control required in this synthesis process can be found in a negative electron beam resist, GMC. 

In recent decades, the application of chemical reaction engineering has made a real breakthrough elegant academic exercises have been turned into industrial practice. Chemical reaction engineering is no longer only applied to the production of bulk chemicals but also to fine and speciality chemicals. New application areas have emerged, such as bioreactors, processes in the electronics industry, conversion of molecules from nature, and production of pulp and paper.
