Geometrical Data

Computations of polypeptide conformation must be based on accurate values of bond distances and bond angles. From a survey of the literature, it appears that, whereas these parameters may vary from compound to compound, there is a general consensus of accepted values these are listed in Tables 5-11. 

It should be emphasized that these parameters should not be regarded as fixed, i.e. polypeptide structures are not necessarily rigid. However, departures from these values (and from the assumed planar trans conformation of the backbone amide group) can be taken care of by introducing appropriate energy terms to allow for such departures (see Section VE).

The precise geometrical data obtained by microwave spectroscopy allow conclusions regarding bond delocalization and hence aromaticity. For example, the microwave spectrum of thiazole has shown that the structure is very close to the average of the structures of thiophene and 1,3,4-thiadiazole, which indicates a similar trend in aromaticity. However, different methods have frequently given inconsistent results. 

Although MNDO, AMI and PM3 have parameters for some metals, these are often based on only a few experimental data. Calculations involving metals should thus be treated with care. The PM3(tm) set of parameters are determined exclusively from geometrical data (X-ray), since there are very few reliable energetic data available for transition metal compounds. 

The geometric data reported for 3,4-bis(p-chlorophenyl)furoxan (71TL2907) seem to be in error. A reinvestigation has shown that there are at least two polymorphic forms of this compound (monoclinic and orthorombic), which are both disordered T. Traulsen, C. Nather, and W. Friedrichsen, unpublished results. 

The purpose of this section is to explain in a qualitative way how the product quality is related to the calendering parameters. Therefore a simplified calender model is presented. The model describes the pressure buildup in the calender nip region as a function of compound viscosity, clearance, calender line speed, rolling bank height, as well as geometrical data. The general layout of a typical steel and fabric cord calender is explained by means of the result of the presented calender model.

In order to show the difference between screw and barrel rotation, a simple energy dissipation example is provided here. A complete analysis of energy dissipation will be presented in Section 7.7. For this example, a 50.8 mm diameter screw is rotated at a speed of 50 rpm and with a pressure gradient of zero, producing a rate of 6.8 cmys. The geometric data and physical property data are provided in Table 7.4.
