Fig. 9.4 Establishment of the quantitative methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction (MSP) analytical procedure. The ABI PRISM 7900 HT Sequence Detector system was used to perform real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using MSP primers and bisulfite-modified template DNA. Upper panels Setting up the conditions to obtain the standard curves with 50% (A) or 25% (B) sequential dilution of the template. Lower panels The amplification curves on the left represent P-actin, unmethylated, and methylated MSP products, respectively, for reelin (RELN) (C). Amplification curves were compared at the set threshold before 40 cycles. Amplification curves from various samples are shown in the lower panel right (D)...

Highly ordered ILs can serve as morphology-modifying templates for obtaining morphologies inaccessible by other synthetic routes. 

The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is an ideal tool for the study of ancient DNA because it has the ability to amplify a small number of intact DNA molecules that exist in a complex mixture of large amounts of partially degraded and modified templates. Of crucial importance for the use of ancient DNA extracts is the extent to which the damage limits or inhibits the enzymatic reaction. An observation often made is that the maximum sizes of amplifiable products are reduced in old, damaged DNA compared to modem DNA extracts.14 This is also true for DNA from ancient bones, which seem in many cases to allow for longer amplifications than soft tissues. For example, we have determined the maximum size of amplifiable DNA from 3500-year-old moas found at a dry cave site in New Zealand and found that, whereas soft tissues allowed the amplification of pieces only up to 120 bp, bone extracts from the same individual yielded products of up to 380 bp. However, DNA extracted from a modem ratite bird easily allowed the amplification of pieces of over 1000 bp.15... 

Both energy transfer and electron transfer from a photoexcited compound to a given substrate are distance dependent. This property allows one to delineate—at least on paper—a catalytic cycle for a sensitised process with an appropriately modified template (Scheme 14). If the passive tetrahydronaphthalene shield in 12 is replaced by a photoactive moiety, this part of the compound can, after excitation, facilitate an energy or electron transfer significantly faster at a bound than at an unbound substrate.

Preparation 2-2 Carbonaceous materials are coated on PP substrates via facile filtration. 18 mg of carbon, a cellular graphene framework fabricated by a modified template chemical vapor deposition method on hy-drothermally synthesized MgO templates and 2.0 mg of a poly(vinylidene fluoride) binder were dispersed in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, cf. Figure 2.8, by ultrasonication for 1.0 h. Then, 36.0 ml of the dispersion was filtered through a piece of a commercial PP separator (Celgard 2400) and subsequently dried at room temperature for 24.0 h. The Janus separator was found with carbon loading amount of 0.3 mgcm. ...

Low temperature sol-gel technology is promising approach for preparation of modified with organic molecules silica (SG) thin films. Such films are perspective as sensitive elements of optical sensors. Incorporation of polyelectrolytes into SG sol gives the possibility to obtain composite films with ion-exchange properties. The addition of non-ionic surfactants as template agents into SG sol results formation of ordered mechanically stable materials with tunable pore size. 

New templated polymer support materials have been developed for use as re versed-phase packing materials. Pore size and particle size have not usually been precisely controlled by conventional suspension polymerization. A templated polymerization is used to obtain controllable pore size and particle-size distribution. In this technique, hydrophilic monomers and divinylbenzene are formulated and filled into pores in templated silica material, at room temperature. After polymerization, the templated silica material is removed by base hydrolysis. The surface of the polymer may be modified in various ways to obtain the desired functionality. The particles are useful in chromatography, adsorption, and ion exchange and as polymeric supports of catalysts (39,40). 

Different synthetic methodologies can be pursued to prepare hierarchical porous zeolites, which can be discriminated as bottom-up and top-down approaches. Whereas bottom-up approaches frequently make use of additional templates, top-down routes employ preformed zeolites that are modified by preferential extraction of one constituent via a postsynthesis treatment For the sake of conciseness, we restrict ourselves here to the discussion of the latter route. Regarding bottom-up approaches, recently published reviews provide state-of-the-art information on these methodologies [8, 9,17-19]. 

Thermal treatments can be applied to modify the properties of a material, for example, dealumination and optimization of crystalHne phases. These techniques do not require oxidants. Oxidative thermal treatments are generally employed to activate molecular sieves, by removing the organic templates employed during synthesis. This is one of the key steps when preparing porous catalysts or adsorbents. In air-atmosphere calcination, the templates are typically combusted between 400... 

Woolfson and Mahmoud have classified the routes to preparation of decorated self-assembling peptide materials [53] as (1) co-assembly, where the functional part is already attached to a self-assembling component prior to assembly, and (2) postassembly, where a non-functionahsed self-assembled structure is modified by covalent or non-covalent means. This discussion adheres to this classification. A third route, beyond the scope of this review, is the use of structured peptides as templates for inorganic materials. Section 4.1 discusses functionalised self-assemblies formed from co-assembly-type approaches, while post-assembly modifications of self-assembled structures are considered in Sect. 4.2. 

The use of DNA as a template to fabricate mesoscale structures was also demonstrated in a recent work of Torimoto and coworkers. They used preformed, positively charged 3-nm CdS nanoparticles with a thiocholine-modified surface to be assembled into chains by using the electrostatic interaction between positively charged nanoparticle snr-faces and the phosphate groups of DNA. As determined by TEM analysis, the CdS nanoparticles were arranged in a qnasi-one-dimensional dense packing. This revealed interparticle distances of about 3.5 nm, which is almost equal to the height of one helical tnm of the DNA double strand [98]. 

Titanium containing hexagonal mesoporous materials were synthesized by the modified hydrothermal synthesis method. The synthesized Ti-MCM-41 has hi y ordered hexa rud structure. Ti-MCM-41 was transformed into TS-l/MCM-41 by using the dry gel conversion process. For the synthesis of Ti-MCM-41 with TS-1(TS-1/MCM-41) structure TPAOH was used as the template. The synthesized TS-l/MCM-41 has hexagonal mesopores when the DGC process was carried out for less than 3 6 h. The catalytic activity of synthesized TS-l/MCM-41 catalysts was measured by the epoxidation of 1-hexene and cyclohexene. For the comparison of the catalytic activity, TS-1 and Ti-MCM-41 samples were also applied to the epoxidation reaction under the same reaction conditions. Both the conversion of olefins and selectivity to epoxide over TS-l/MCM-41 are found hi er flian those of other catalysts. 

The use of ordered supramolecular assemblies, such as micelles, monolayers, vesicles, inverted micelles, and lyotropic liquid crystalline systems, allows for the controlled nucleation of inorganic materials on molecular templates with well-defined structure and surface chemistry. Poly(propyleneimine) dendrimers modified with long aliphatic chains are a new class of amphiphiles which display a variety of aggregation states due to their conformational flexibility [38]. In the presence of octadecylamine, poly(propyleneimine) dendrimers modified with long alkyl chains self-assemble to form remarkably rigid and well-defined aggregates. When the aggregate dispersion was injected into a supersaturated...
