Pigments acid-base sites

Prof. Fowkes s flow calorimetric work led to important advances in the understanding of the interactions between mineral fillers, polymers, and polymer additives. The work of S. T. Joslin and F. M. Fowkes [29] in which they time-sliced the outputs from an FMC and its accompanying DSD enabled them to determine differential molar heats of adsorption as a function of progress in the adsorption process, and gave an indication of the heterogeneity of strength of the acid or base adsorption sites on the filler or pigment surfaces. [Pg.172]

In some senses enzymes with copper at their active sites act in an opposite manner to those with zinc at their active sites. Copper-based enzymes are responsible for carrying out oxidation reactions which lead to formation of organic stmc-tural polymers such a collagen and melanin (responable for protection against UV radiation). Copper-based enzymes have two copper atoms in the Cu(I) oxidation state at their active site to which molecular oxygen becomes bound. Figure 26.33 shows the action of the copper-based enzyme tyrosinase which oxidises the amino acid tyrosine to produce dopachrome, the precursor of the melanin pigments. [Pg.549]
