With endogeneous pectic polysaccharides as substrates, the pectin methyhransferase activity was measured as radioactivity linked to oxalate-soluble polys x harides after extensive washing of microsomes with IM ethanolic NaCL Figure 2 shows that the rate of methylesterification of pectic substances was maximal on days 4 and 6 these maximum activities were observed within this period in at least five independent ejqjeriments. On the other hand, little activity was noted in young cells before day 2, and in old cells after day 9. In other words during the stationary phase the newly synthesised pectins remained unesterified because of the lack of pectin methyltransferase activity. 

FIGURE 16.13 Schematic representation of separation of a block copolymer poly(A)-block-poly(B) from its parent homopolymers poly(A) and poly(B). The elnent promotes free SEC elntion of all distinct constitnents of mixtnre. The LC LCD procednre with two local barriers is applied. Poly(A) is not adsorptive and it is not retained within colnmn by any component of mobile phase and barrier(s). At least one component of barrier(s) promotes adsorption of both the homopolymer poly(B) and the block copolymer that contains poly(B) blocks, (a) Sitnation in the moment of sample introdnction Barrier 1 has been injected as first. It is more efficient and decelerates elntion of block copolymer. After certain time delay, barrier 2 has been introdnced. It exhibits decreased blocking (adsorption promoting) efficacy. Barrier 2 allows the breakthrongh and the SEC elution of block copolymer but it hinders fast elution of more adsorptive homopolymer poly(B). The time delay 1 between sample and barrier 1 determines retention volume of block copolymer while the time delay 2 between sample and barrier 2 controls retention volume of homopolymer poly(B). (b) Situation after about 20 percent of total elution time. The non retained polymer poly(X) elutes as first. It is followed with the block copolymer, later with the adsorptive homopolymer poly(B), and finally with the non retained low-molar-mass or oligomeric admixture. Notice that the peak position has an opposite sign compared to retention time or retention volume Tr.

Compatible and incompatible polyester - PVC blends have been considered. Examples include systems, poly-X-caprolactone (PCL)/PVC which are compatible [5,28], in the melt and exhibit partial compatibility in solid state and poly-P-propiolactone (PPL)/PVC blends which are known to be incompatible [5, 28]. Figure 5.9 shows the infrared spectra of the carbonyl stretching vibration (in the range 1600-1800 cm-1) for the different blends. 

Isotactic poly(x-olcfin)s crystallise in a helical conformation, and, in the case of polypropylene, with three units per turn [4,5], Isotactic polypropylene has a melting point of 175°C and does not dissolve in boiling n-heptane [6,7], Note that, depending upon the configuration of the tertiary carbon atom of the polymer main chains, the poly(x-olefin) helices will be characterised by right-handedness or left-handedness. It should be mentioned that the helical structure of the poly(x-olcfin) chain per se is sufficient for the appearance of chirality of such a macromolecule [8], Figure 3.3 presents the helical conformation of chains of isotactic poly(a-olefin)s in the crystalline state (with three units per turn - the case of polypropylene) [5],... 

In the homopolymers formed by uridine or 2-thiouridine, base pairs with twofold symmetry are feasible, as described in Part II, Chapter 16 [529, 699]. The situation is more complex, however, because the homopolymer folds back on itself, giving rise to a hairpin-like structure where the polynucleotide strands are necessarily antiparallel and the base pairs are of the form shown in Fig. 20.10. Not surprisingly, a comparable double helix is also observed for polyxanthylic acid poly (X) [700]. The purine base of xanthosine displays the same hydrogen-bonding functional groups as uracil and therefore, the same base pair can be formed, but the purine-purine pair requires a larger separation between the glycosidic links and consequently a wider helix radius. 

In the field of thermoplastic immiscible blends, the emulsifying activity of block copolymers has been widely used to solve the usual problem of large immiscibility associated with high interfacial tension, poor adhesion and resulting in poor mechanical properties. An immiscible thermoplastic blend A/B can actually be compatibilised by adding a diblock copolymer, poly(A-b-B) whose segments are chemically identical to the dissimilar homopolymers, or poly(X-b-Y) in which each block is chemically different but thermodynamically miscible with one of the blend component.

Stabilization of the mesophase was observed as the degree of polymerization was increased. The Tg values of the poly(norbornene)-polymers were about 30 °C higher than those of the poly(butadiene) polymers. Both polymers showed similar isotropization temperatures, but they differed substantially in their liquid crystalline behaviors. Poly-(IX-n)s with a poly(norbornene) backbone exhibited textures typical of nematic mesophases, whereas the poly-(butadiene)-based polymers poly-(X-n) displayed textures representative of smectic A mesophases. The more flexible backbone of poly(butadiene) allowed a higher order of alignment of the mesogenic units, resulting in the more ordered liquid crystalline smectic A phase. 

One example of a 1 1 AB block copolymer with poly-(IX-8) and poly-(X-S) blocks showed a smectic A phase the mesophase of the homopolymer of X-8. The more ordered smectic A phase dominated the nematic phase of the polynorbornene block.

Hereinafter, poly(X) denotes a homo-polynucleotide and X is the base symbol such as A (adenosine monophosphate), C (cytidine monophosphate), G (guanosine monophosphate), U(uridine monophosphate), I (inosine monophosphate), dA (deoxyadenosine monophosphate), etc. 

In this paper, s-SPG + poly(X) stands for a mixture of poly(X) and s-SPG, and does not necessary mean the complex it can just be a mixture of the two components without any interaction. The complex is explicitly denoted as poly(X)/s-SPG.
