Some authors doubt the possibility of a direct interrelation between PolyP and photosynthesis in algae (Rubtsov et al, 1977 Rubtsov and Kulaev, 1977). The following facts support this point of view. No high-molecular-weight PolyP was found in the chloroplasts of Acetabularia mediterranea (Rubtsov et al, 1977). The inhibitor analysis and detection of polyphosphate kinase activity in this alga (Rubtsov and Kulaev, 1977) point to the fact that PolyP is not directly, but rather indirectly, connected with the photosynthesis through the formation of ATP, which provides energy for P transport and PolyP synthesis.

Two nucleation processes important to many people (including some surface scientists ) occur in the formation of gallstones in human bile and kidney stones in urine. Cholesterol crystallization in bile causes the formation of gallstones. Cryotransmission microscopy (Chapter VIII) studies of human bile reveal vesicles, micelles, and potential early crystallites indicating that the cholesterol crystallization in bile is not cooperative and the true nucleation time may be much shorter than that found by standard clinical analysis by light microscopy [75]. Kidney stones often form from crystals of calcium oxalates in urine. Inhibitors can prevent nucleation and influence the solid phase and intercrystallite interactions [76, 77]. Citrate, for example, is an important physiological inhibitor to the formation of calcium renal stones. Electrokinetic studies (see Section V-6) have shown the effect of various inhibitors on the surface potential and colloidal stability of micrometer-sized dispersions of calcium oxalate crystals formed in synthetic urine [78, 79]. 

The essential slow modes of a protein during a simulation accounting for most of its conformational variability can often be described by only a few principal components. Comparison of PGA with NMA for a 200 ps simulation of bovine pancreatic trypsic inhibitor showed that the variation in the first principal components was twice as high as expected from normal mode analy-si.s ([Hayward et al. 1994]). The so-called essential dynamics analysis method ([Amadei et al. 1993]) is a related method and will not be discussed here.

Standard test methods for chemical analysis have been developed and pubUshed (74). Included is the determination of commonly found chemicals associated with acrylonitrile and physical properties of acrylonitrile that are critical to the quaUty of the product (75—77). These include determination of color and chemical analyses for HCN, quiaone inhibitor, and water. Specifications appear in Table 10. 

Polymerization-grade chloroprene is typically at least 99.5% pure, excluding inert solvents that may be present. It must be substantially free of peroxides, polymer [9010-98-4], and inhibitors. A low, controlled concentration of inhibitor is sometimes specified. It must also be free of impurities that are acidic or that will generate additional acidity during emulsion polymerization. Typical impurities are 1-chlorobutadiene [627-22-5] and traces of chlorobutenes (from dehydrochlorination of dichlorobutanes produced from butenes in butadiene [106-99-0]), 3,4-dichlorobutene [760-23-6], and dimers of both chloroprene and butadiene. Gas chromatography is used for analysis of volatile impurities. Dissolved polymer can be detected by turbidity after precipitation with alcohol or determined gravimetrically. Inhibitors and dimers can interfere with quantitative determination of polymer either by precipitation or evaporation if significant amounts are present.

Other Useful Information Obtained by Probes Both EIS and electrochemical noise probes can be used to determine information about the reactions that affect corrosion. Equivalent circuit analysis, when properly applied by an experienced engineer, can often give insight into the specifics of the corrosion reactions. Information such as corrosion product layer buildup, or inhibitor effectiveness, or coating breakdown can be obtained directly from analysis of the data from EIS or indirectly from electrochemical noise data. In most cases, this is merely making use of methodology developed in the corrosion laboratory.

Inhibited THF is problematic for semipreparative separations. Because small quantities of polymer are being collected along with larger volumes of solvent, more inhibitor, usually butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), than sample is often collected in each fraction. Thus, one must carefully consider if the BHT will cause a problem in the subsequent analysis of the isolated fractions. If it does, uninhibited THF or other alternate solvents should be used. It must be remember that if uninhibited THF is used, the analyst must pay careful attention to the inevitable peroxide formation in the solvent/fractions.
