Fig.2.5 which gives the acoustic and optical modes of the diatomic NaCl chain for q = 0 and q = ir/a. For the LA and TA modes at q = 0, the total momentum p is clearly different from zero, but for all other modes in Fig.2.5, p = 0. An analogous situation exists for vibrations in molecules in an N2 molecule, the internuclear vibrational coordinate r - r2 is a relative coordinate and... 

An affinity sorbent based on WPA-PG carrying immobilized human IgG was applied to the isolation of the first component of the complement (Cl) from human serum and for its separation into subcomponents Clr, Cls and Clq by the one-step procedure [126,127]. Cl was quantitatively bound to the sorbent at 0 °C. The activities of subcomponents Clq and Clr2r2 in the unbound part of the serum were found to be 0.8% and 3.3% of the initial activities in serum. This fraction, therefore, could be used as a R1 reagent for determining the hemolytic activity of Cl. Apparently, the neighboring macromolecules of immobilized IgG resemble to some extent an immune complex, whereas Cl formation is facilitated due to the mobility of polymer chains with the attached IgG macromolecules (Cl is usually dissociated in serum by 30%). After activation of bound Cl by heating (30 °C, 40 min) the activated subcomponent Clr is eluted from the sorbent. Stepwise elution with 0.05 mol/1 EDTA at pH 7.4 or with 0.05 mol/1 EDTA + 1 mol/1 NaCl at pH 8.5 results in a selective and quantitative elution of the activated subcomponent Cls and subcomponent Clq. 

Thin polymer films may also be investigated by TEM and high resolution images are obtained for e.g. thin films of liquid crystalline polymers [64]. Usually thin microtome cuts from bulk samples are investigated, but also epitaxial growth of polyoxymethylene on NaCl [152], chain folding of polyethylene crystals [153], epitaxial crystallization of polypropylene on polystyrene [154] or monomolecular polystyrene particles [155] are observed. The resolution is, however, in most cases not comparable to STM. 

Mixed compounds, e.g., in the M-B-N system, where M is a transition metal, are well known with separate B and N sublattices or atoms. Prominent examples are NbBN [22] containing kinked B-chains and isolated nitride ions or Ti(N,C) with a NaCl-like structure containing disordered C and N ions sharing... 

It should be noted that in forming this dimeric channel structure all the hydrogen bonds are parallel to the channel axis and that the inner surface is lined with the polar polypeptide groups. In addition the various lipophilic side chains coat the outer wall of the structure and are thus in contact with the lipid hydrocarbon chains. The resulting gramicidin A channel is a most efficient means of ion transport with approximately 107 sodium ions traversing the channel per second, under conditions of 1 M NaCl, 100 mV applied potential and a temperature of 25 °C 225). The detailed mechanism by which this can be achieved is under active study 226). 

Electrostatic repulsion of the anionic carboxylate groups elongates the polymer chain of partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamides increasing the hydrodynamic volume and solution viscosity. The extensional viscosity is responsible for increased resistance to flow at rapid flow rates in high permeability zones (313). The screen factor is primarily a measure of the extensional (elonga-tional) viscosity (314). The solution properties of polyacrylamides have been studied as a function of NaCl concentra-tion and the parameters of the Mark-Houwink-Sakaruda equation calculated... 

An analogous series of reactions is used to produce depyrimidinated DNA fragments. Hydrazine is used in these reactions, since both cytosine and thymine react with hydrazine. The bases are cleaved to yield urea and a pyrazole ring. The deoxyribose moiety is left as a hydrazone. Piperidine, which reacts with the hydrazone, is used to cleave the nucleotide chain. Cytosines react specifically with hydrazine in 5 mol/ L NaCl, but no specific reaction exists for thymines. Consequently, one aliquot yields labeled oligonu-cleotides 3 -terminated at cytosines, whereas a second aliquot contains nucleotides cleaved in the absence of NaCI at both cytosine and thymine residues. 

Expansion of Thickness of the Adsorbed Layer. In the low salt concentration the large thickness compared with the case of the Theta solvent (4.17 M NaCl) is considered to be due to the electrostatic repulsion, i.e., the excluded volume effect of the adsorbed NaPSS chains. Usually, the expansion factor at, defined by the ratio of the thickness in good solvent and that in the Theta solvent, is used to quantitatively evaluate the excluded volume effect for the adsorbed polymers.
