Growth cycle

Liquid crystalline behavior occurs in the exocuticle of certain classes of beetles. The bright iridescent colors that are reflected from the surface of Scarabaeid beetles originates from a petrified chiral nematic stmctural arrangement of chitin crystaUites in the exocuticle (38). It is suggested that this chiral nematic texture forms spontaneously in a mobile, Hquid crystal phase that is present during the initial stages of the exocuticle growth cycle. 

Modem process facHities are computer controHed. Temperature and AT are programmed upward during the start of a growth cycle, pressure and temperature are monitored and controHed, and pressure and temperature overshoot alarms and overrides are provided. Such systems also store data from previous mns for correlations with properties or for identical repHcation of past conditions. 

Once kiside the host ceU, the vims must repHcate its own nucleic acid. To do this, it often uses part of the normal synthesizing machinery of the host ceU. If the vims is to continue its growth cycle, vkal nucleic acid and vkal proteki must be properly transported within the ceU, assembled kito the kifective vims particle, and ultimately released from the ceU. AH of these fundamental processes kivolve an intimate utilization of both ceUular and vkal enzymes. Certain enzymes that ate kivolved ki this process ate specificaHy suppHed by the invading vims. It is this type of specificity that can provide the best basis for antivkal chemotherapy Thus an effective antivkal agent should specificaHy inhibit the vkal-encoded or vims-kiduced enzymes without inhibition of the normal enzymes involved in the biochemical process of the host ceH. Vims-associated enzymes have been reviewed (2,3) (Table 1).

Cycle 3 this is the membrane growth cycle. The starting material for the outer envelope of the system comes from cycle 1 and is capable of self-organisation processes which lead to the membrane (T. Ganti, 1997).

Film growth in the SILAR technique proceeds by alternate immersion of the substrate in the cation and anion precursor solutions, with intermediate rinsing of the substrate. Thus, one growth cycle consists of four steps, as described in Fig. 8.1. 

The ions of the solution are diffused into the surface and react with the adsorbed cations of the inner layer. The first solid thin-film layer has now been formed on the substrate surface. Proceeding in this way, the growth of the thin film occurs only on the surface of the substrate. In a final step, the substrate is rinsed to remove the ions from the diffusion layer. A second growth cycle can now commence. The overall reaction occuring during one SILAR cycle can be presented as follows ...
