Formation branching

Amylose is synthesized by granular-bound starch synthase, whereas amylopectin is synthesized by soluble starch synthase (Chapter 4).334,339 Because amylose is synthesized by the granular-bound starch synthase in a progressive manner,340 the amylose molecule is likely confined in the granule and has little opportunity to interact and form double helices with other starch molecules to facilitate branch formation. Branching reactions do occur on some amylose molecules, but at a much lower frequency than with amylopectin, and result in slightly branched amylose molecules. [Pg.225]

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) data for carbon-black compounds and conductive polymer blends [72c], supported by recent transmission electron microscopy (TEM) evaluations [79,80] (shown in Figure 11.39) were made, they also contradict the assumption of a statistical distribution. We find complete dispersion below the critical volume concentration (I) and a sudden stiucture formation ( branched flocculate chains ) at the critical volume concentration. This structural feature remains at higher concentrations. [Pg.550]

Tryptophan synthase (TS) catalyzes the ultimate step in tryptophan biosynthesis (details see Fig. 4.2). Indole and benzoxazinoid secondary metabolite formation branches from this pathway. The two lyases IGL and BXl cleave indole-3-glycerol phosphate into indole (and glycerolaldehyde-3-phosphate, not shown) and serve as committing enzymes for indole derived secondary metabolites. Indole produced by IGL directly functions as volatile signal. Indole produced by BXl is converted by other enzymes (BX2-BX9) to benzoxazinoids that have an important function in the chemical defense of grasses. [Pg.71]

It is not always easy to determine whether deterioration of polyurethane is caused by hydrolytic reversion or by fungal attack. However, a magnifying lens can be used to detect channel-Uke lesions on the surface of the polyurethane (this is more difficult with adhesives), and below the surface, tubular formations branch out in different directions. This network of tunnels is frequently seen to... [Pg.333]

The smoke point corresponds to the maximum possible flame height (without smoke formation) from a standardized lamp (NF M 07-028). The values commonly obtained are between 10 and 40 mm and the specifications for TRO fix a minimum threshold of 25 mm. The smoke point is directly linked to the chemical structure of the fuel it is high, therefore satisfactory, for the linear paraffins, lower for branched paraffins and much lower still for naphthenes and aromatics. [Pg.227]

If either R or R has a branched ciiain structure and is therefore bulky, it will exert a hindering influence (steric hindrance) in the formation of the bimole-cular complex (in 2) and esterification is accordingly more difficult. [Pg.380]

Under CO pressure in alcohol, the reaction of alkenes and CCI4 proceeds to give branched esters. No carbonylation of CCI4 itself to give triichloroacetate under similar conditions is observed. The ester formation is e.xplained by a free radical mechanism. The carbonylation of l-octene and CCI4 in ethanol affords ethyl 2-(2,2,2-trichloroethyl)decanoate (924) as a main product and the simple addition product 925(774]. ... [Pg.263]

J-unsaturated ester is formed from a terminal alkyne by the reaction of alkyl formate and oxalate. The linear a, /J-unsaturated ester 5 is obtained from the terminal alkyne using dppb as a ligand by the reaction of alkyl formate under CO pressure. On the other hand, a branehed ester, t-butyl atropate (6), is obtained exclusively by the carbonylation of phenylacetylene in t-BuOH even by using dppb[10]. Reaction of alkynes and oxalate under CO pressure also gives linear a, /J-unsaturated esters 7 and dialkynes. The use of dppb is essen-tial[l 1]. Carbonylation of 1-octyne in the presence of oxalic acid or formic acid using PhiP-dppb (2 I) and Pd on carbon affords the branched q, /J-unsatu-rated acid 8 as the main product. Formic acid is regarded as a source of H and OH in the carboxylic acids[l2]. [Pg.473]

The variant of the cylindrical model which has played a prominent part in the development of the subject is the ink-bottle , composed of a cylindrical pore closed one end and with a narrow neck at the other (Fig. 3.12(a)). The course of events is different according as the core radius r of the body is greater or less than twice the core radius r of the neck. Nucleation to give a hemispherical meniscus, can occur at the base B at the relative pressure p/p°)i = exp( —2K/r ) but a meniscus originating in the neck is necessarily cylindrical so that its formation would need the pressure (P/P°)n = exp(-K/r ). If now r /r, < 2, (p/p ), is lower than p/p°)n, so that condensation will commence at the base B and will All the whole pore, neck as well as body, at the relative pressure exp( —2K/r ). Evaporation from the full pore will commence from the hemispherical meniscus in the neck at the relative pressure p/p°) = cxp(-2K/r ) and will continue till the core of the body is also empty, since the pressure is already lower than the equilibrium value (p/p°)i) for evaporation from the body. Thus the adsorption branch of the loop leads to values of the core radius of the body, and the desorption branch to values of the core radius of the neck. [Pg.128]

We noted above that the presence of monomer with a functionality greater than 2 results in branched polymer chains. This in turn produces a three-dimensional network of polymer under certain circumstances. The solubility and mechanical behavior of such materials depend critically on whether the extent of polymerization is above or below the threshold for the formation of this network. The threshold is described as the gel point, since the reaction mixture sets up or gels at this point. We have previously introduced the term thermosetting to describe these cross-linked polymeric materials. Because their mechanical properties are largely unaffected by temperature variations-in contrast to thermoplastic materials which become more fluid on heating-step-growth polymers that exceed the gel point are widely used as engineering materials. [Pg.314]

When -xylene is used as the monomer feed in a plasma polymer process, PX may play an important role in the formation of the plasma polymer. The plasma polymer from -xylene closely resembles the Gorham process polymer in the infrared, although its spectmm contains evidence for minor amounts of nonlinear, branched, and cross-linked chains as well. Furthermore, its solubiUty and low softening temperature suggest a material of very low molecular weight (15). [Pg.430]

Bulk Polymerization. The bulk polymerization of acryUc monomers is characterized by a rapid acceleration in the rate and the formation of a cross-linked insoluble network polymer at low conversion (90,91). Such network polymers are thought to form by a chain-transfer mechanism involving abstraction of the hydrogen alpha to the ester carbonyl in a polymer chain followed by growth of a branch radical. Ultimately, two of these branch radicals combine (91). Commercially, the bulk polymerization of acryUc monomers is of limited importance. [Pg.167]

Tocotrienols differ from tocopherols by the presence of three isolated double bonds in the branched alkyl side chain. Oxidation of tocopherol leads to ring opening and the formation of tocoquinones that show an intense red color. This species is a significant contributor to color quaUty problems in oils that have been abused. Tocopherols function as natural antioxidants (qv). An important factor in their activity is their slow reaction rate with oxygen relative to combination with other free radicals (11). [Pg.124]

The polymerization of ethyleneimine (16,354—357) is started by a catalyticaHy active reagent (H or a Lewis acid), which converts the ethyleneimine into a highly electrophilic initiator molecule. The initiator then reacts with nitrogen nucleophiles, such as the ethyleneimine monomer and the subsequendy formed oligomers, to produce a branched polymer, which contains primary, secondary, and tertiary nitrogen atoms in random ratios. Termination takes place by intramolecular macrocycle formation. [Pg.11]
