Templates external

Beside the classical secondary structure elements occurring at the surface of proteins such as y- and P-tums, 3,0- and a-helices, and P-sheets, loops of variable size seem to play a crucial role in many protein-protein interactions (see Section I.A). Several amino acid-derived templates have been proposed to stabilize P-tums as external templates (see Section II.B) and a compilation of loop-stabilizing templates is shown in Figure 25.189-194...

Selection through Molecular Recognition of an External Template... 

Figure 1.2 The different ways in which molecular recognition can exert control over library distribution selection may be through external templating by an added (a) guest or (b) host molecule, or though self-templating that is either (c) intramolecular or (d) intermolecular.

In the formation of complexes via self-sorting, no external template is used. Instead, the molecular structure of the host can be considered as the template for the preparation of a host-guest complex. In this case, the ampHfication of the most stable complex takes place via intermolecular interactions, such as hydrogen bonding, metal coordination, or ionic interactions, between the different components in the mixture. Since the strength of these supramolecular interactions is known to be influenced by substituents, a dynamic library can be obtained-not...

The proposed mechanisms and routes for formation of the knot are shown in Figure 14. These routes may pass through various complexes, but the knot must be formed ultimately from raveled molecules such as 14. In contrast to the Cu(I)-based template synthesis, no external templating agent is necessary. 

From the above examples, it is clear that DHBCs themselves can promote the formation of complex crystal morphologies, often involving nanoscopic building units. It is interesting to investigate the influence of an external template on a DHBC-controlled crystaUization system. These foreign external templates include CO2 or air bubbles, charged particles, and air/water interfaces. 

In one reported example, the chosen template was as simple as CO2 bubbles, which are generated by CO2 evaporation from supersaturated Ca(HC03)2 solutions (Kitano method). The gas bubbles were used to act as a foreign external template to produce CaCOs particles with complex mor-... 

The above results emphasized that the foreign external templates can be combined with a polymer or polyelectrolyte and provide an additional tool for controlled morphogenesis of inorganic minerals. 

Figure 3.25 Schematics and SEM micrographs of cross-sections of PLA vessel tubular elements realized under different temperature gradients. The warmer and the colder walls are inverted in the two sets of panels (left and right panels, respectively). The size of the radially oriented voids decreases by moving from the hot to the cold interface with the external template material. In both the investigated cases, PLA benzene solutions at different concentrations are used (A) 2.5%, (B) 5.0%, (C) 7.5%, (D) 10.0% (weight/volume). Adapted with permission from Ref. 308, Adv. Funct.

External templates were used to structure silicates and generate porous materials for the first time in the early 1990s by independent groups in Waseda University in Japan [7] and at Mobil in the United States [8]. These syntheses took place under hydrothermal conditions similar to those for the synthesis of zeolites basic media and in the presence of cationic surfactants such as cetyltrimethylam-monium bromide. After this pioneer work, numerous silicates have been synthesized using a wide variety of surfectants. They have allowed the preparation of many mesoporous silicates such as MCM-41 with a hexagonal pore structure, MCM-48 with a cubic structure, and MCM-50 with a lamellar structure. 

After the discovery of the first mesoporous silicas through external templating, a lot of work has been done to understand and rationalize the formation mechanisms of these materials. Numerous research groups employed a variety of techniques (e.g., NMR spectroscopy. X-ray diffraction, cryo-TEM, electron paramagnetic resonance, and fluorescence) toward this objective. Several models have been proposed [10] and two of them are generally accepted the liquid crystal templating approach and the cooperative self-assembly approach. In both models, the interactions between the surfactant molecules and the inorganic species direct the formation of the ordered solid. 

Regarding organosilicas, the control of the pore structure on the basis of external templating by self-assembly of surfactant molecules has been reported. The structuration of the pores was obtained only from organosilicon precursors of a small size. Provided the organic to sihcon ratio was low, self-assembled organo-sihcas with ordered pore structure can be obtained [39]. 

Meso-macroporous titanium phosphates with multiscaled and tunable porosity can also be prepared either by the use of a neutral surfectant or by the template-free method, but always via the self-formation phenomenon (Figure 32.16e-h) [126]. The formation of well-defined small macropore (50-160 nm in size) systems constructed from mesopores with a wormhole-like array could be spontaneously achieved in the absence of any surfactant molecule and/or external template (such as colloid crystals and emulsion droplets), while... 

From further studies, it is proved that the surfactants or polymers are not directiy involved in the formation of hierarchically porous structures. Hierarchically porous metal oxides can be obtained via a spontaneous self-formation procedure in the absence of any external template. 

The FeMo-co cluster does not form by self-assembly but requires biosynthesis on an external template prior to incorporation into the MoFe protein. The P-cluster is synthesized by fusion of two [Fe4S4] clusters within the MoFe protein. The organism has thus gone to considerable trouble to make these clusters, otherwise unknown in biology.

In 2000, MacGillivray and coworkers [99] presented a reliable method for preorganizing olefins in solids using auxiliary linear templates (Scheme 3.10). The external template resorcinol (res) cocrystallized with bipy-ete to form a discrete four-component assembly via four 0-H N hydrogen bonds, with two C=C bonds positioned for photodimerization. Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation of the powdered crystalline sample generated the stereocontrolled product in quantitative yield and gram scales.
