Protuberances

Figure Bl.22.11. Near-field scanning optical microscopy fluorescence image of oxazine molecules dispersed on a PMMA film surface. Each protuberance in this three-dimensional plot corresponds to the detection of a single molecule, the different intensities of those features being due to different orientations of the molecules. Sub-diffraction resolution, in this case on the order of a fraction of a micron, can be achieved by the near-field scaiming arrangement. Spectroscopic characterization of each molecule is also possible. (Reprinted with pennission from [82]. Copyright 1996 American Chemical Society.)...

Figure 7.14a illustrates the insertion of a propylene monomer into an edge vacancy in a crystal adjacent to an alkylated titanium atom. In Fig. 7.14b a cross-sectional view of the same site shows how the preferential orientation of the coordinated monomer is dictated by constraints imposed by the protuberances on the crystal surface. 

The shape of the interaction area between lysozyme and the CDR loops of the antibody is easily distinguished from the hapten-binding crevice. The interaction extends over a large area with maximum dimensions of about 20 X 30 A (Figure 15.15). The interaction surface is irregular but relatively flat, with small protuberances and depressions that are complementary in the antigen and the antibody. Residues from all six CDR loops contribute to the... 

FIGURE 1.12 Van der Waals packing is enhanced in molecules that are structurally complementary. Gln represents a surface protuberance on the protein lysozyme. This protuberance fits nicely within a pocket (formed by Tyr , Tyr , Phe and Trp ) in the antigen-binding domain of an antibody raised against lysozyme. (See also Figure 1.16.)...

An alternative method of manufacturing is to employ a coil of flat metal ribbon as the element, each turn spaced from the next by small lateral protuberances. The principle of filtration is the same. Porosity of both types are identical and cover a wide range, usually from 100 microns down to 0.5 microns. 

Another analogous situation is present during the crystallization of the solute phase from liquid metal solutions. This leads to the production of protuberances upon the growth interface, which gradually... 

The results obtained demonstrate competition between the entropy favouring binding at bumps and the potential most likely to favour binding at dips of the surface. For a range of pairwise-additive, power-law interactions, it was found that the effect of the potential dominates, but in the (non-additive) limit of a surface of much higher dielectric constant than in solution the entropy effects win. Thus, the preferential binding of the polymer to the protuberances of a metallic surface was predicted [22]. Besides, this theory indirectly assumes the occupation of bumps by the weakly attracted neutral macromolecules capable of covalent interaction with surface functions.

In principle, sites a, IT, and c need not be association sites as depicted by Ogston but could be steric sites that form obstructions such that the adsorbed molecule is chirally directed. Only one active site is actually required providing the remaining two sites (protuberances or cavities) are different from each other and from the active site that catalyzes the reaction. They could be identical providing they are not symmetrically oriented with respect to the active site (not an isosceles triangle). These are the basic concepts for a chiral environment on a surface and they lead to the three basic methods for creating chiral surfaces in heterogeneous catalysis. 

Preferred adsorption of the unsaturated bond of the substrate occurs at that face which presents the least steric interactions between the adsorbed substrate and the surface. Since some amazingly sterically hindered molecules can be hydrogenated, at least some active sites must look like corners or edges or some other protuberances. 

Mitochondria are the centers for oxidative phosphorylation and the respiratory centers of all cells. While usually aerobic, some mitochondria (e.g. in some bacteria), are known that function anaerobically. These organelles occur ubiquitously in the neuron and its processes (Figs 1-4, 1-6). Their overall shape may change from one type of neuron to another but their basic morphology is identical to that in other cell types. Mitochondria consist morphologically of double-membraned sacs surrounded by protuberances, or cristae, extending from the inner membrane into the matrix space [7]. 

Children experience delayed growth and sexual maturation, and characteristic physical findings such as protuberant abdomen and exaggerated lumbar lordosis. 

Chigiefl211 found that turbulence in a liquid jet has important disturbing influences throughout the liquid flow. At the liquid surface, turbulent velocity fluctuations directly cause protuberances and roughness that result in direct stripping by surrounding air flow. Large eddy structures in the air flow penetrate into the liquid and... 

In pressure-swirl atomization, the complex atomization process may be conveniently subdivided into two main stages, as suggested by Lefebvre.12661 In the first stage, surface instabilities are generated as a result of the combined effects of hydrodynamic and aerodynamic forces. In the second stage, surface protuberances are... 

Some protuberances may be created on a droplet surface due to local deformations. Under favorable conditions, these bulges detach from the droplet and disintegrate into smaller droplets.
