Suggested Beading

As expected from the design of the experiment, the HPLC column packed with CSP 14 containing all 36 members of the library with tt-basic substituents separated 7t-acid substituted amino acid amides. Although encouraging since it suggested the presence of at least one useful selector, this result did not reveal which of the numerous selectors on CSP 14 was the most powerful one. Therefore, a deconvolution process involving the preparation of series of beads with smaller numbers of attached selectors was used. The approach is schematically outlined in Fig. 3-17. 

This remarkably simple treatment suffers one serious deficiency the value of remains quantitatively undefined. More or less intuitively it has been suggested by various investigators that should increase as the root-mean-square end-to-end distance /for a linear chain, or, more generally, as the root-mean-square distance /s2 q beads from the center of any polymer molecule, linear or branched. Accepting this postulate unquestioningly, we should then have/o proportional to and [rj] proportional to These conclusions happen to... 

Traps with Bio-Sep beads amended with [ Cg]-benzene and [ C]-toluene were used to assess biodegradation in an aquifer (Geyer et al. 2005). Beads were lyophilized after exposure, lipids were extracted with chloroform-methanol, and the fatty acids and values analyzed. High enrichment of was observed in several fatty acids, which showed that the label from the substrates had been incorporated. In addition, there were differences in the abundance of the fatty acids in beads amended with benzene or toluene that suggested the existence of different microbial degradative populations. 

The differential vulnerability of fine and beaded 5-HT axons, combined with evidence from anterograde transport that fine and beaded fibers arise from the DR and MR nuclei, respectively, led to the proposal that axons from the DR nucleus are selectively vulnerable to the neurotoxic effects of psychotropic amphetamines, while the MR projection is resistant. The prior anterograde transport study (Kosofsky 1985 Kosofsky and Molliver 1987) sampled a relatively small number of neurons in the central portions of the DR and MR nuclei and suggested a predominantly differential origin of the two axon types. In order to determine directly whether the DR and MR projections are differentially sensitive to psychotropic amphetamines,... 

The nature of the solvent influences both the structure of the polymer in solution and its dynamics. In good solvents the polymer adopts an expanded configuration and in poor solvents it takes on a compact form. If the polymer solution is suddenly changed from good to poor solvent conditions, polymer collapse from the expanded to compact forms will occur [78], A number of models have been suggested for the mechanism of the collapse [79-82], Hydrodynamic interactions are expected to play an important part in the dynamics of the collapse and we show how MPC simulations have been used to investigate this problem. Hybrid MD-MPC simulations of the collapse dynamics have been carried out for systems where bead-solvent interactions are either explicitly included [83] or accounted for implicitly in the multiparticle collision events [84, 85]. 

The most well-developed recent examples of catalysis concern catalysts for oxidation reactions these are essentially achiral or chiral metal-salen complexes. Taking into account a number of results suggesting the importance of a degree of mobility of the bound complex, Sherrington et al. synthesized a series of polymer-supported complexes in which [Mn(salen)Cl] units are immobilized in a pendant fashion by only one of the aromatic rings, to polystyrene or poly(methacrylate) resin beads of various morphology (Figure 6).78,79... 

Each bead can iodinate up to 500 pg of tyrosine-containing protein or peptide. This translates into an oxidative capacity of about 0.55 pmol per bead. The rate of reaction can be controlled by changing the number of beads that are used and altering the sodium iodide concentration added to the reaction. Reaction volumes of 100-1,000 pi are possible per bead. The following protocol is suggested for iodinating proteins. Optimization should be done to determine the best incorporation level to obtain good radiolabel incorporation with retention of protein activity.
