Surface net

Because the size and surface net charge of liposomes can also influence the rate and extent of tissue distribution, these characteristics could be used for target-specific delivery of liposome-encapsulated proteins and drugs. These issues will be discussed later in the context of Site-specific delivery strategies. ... 

In the last few years, computer graphics with colour display are being more commonly used not only to visualize complex structures better, but also to examine unusual structural features, defects and transformations as well as reactions. In Fig. 1.45, we show the presence of a Nal" cluster within the sodalite cage of zeolite Y as depicted by computer graphics the cluster fits well within the cavity bounded by the van der Waals surface (net) of the framework atoms. The immense power of computer graphics has been exploited widely in recent years. Structural transitions in solids and sorbate dynamics in zeolites are typical areas where computer simulation and graphics have been used (Ramdas et al., 1984 Rao et al., 1992). 

In examples (a) to (c), the locations of the adsorbed atoms differ in that they are (a) end-on, (6) in a two-fold bridging position, and (c) in a three-fold well position in relation to the substrate atoms. However, the outer surface net is the same in each case and, as such, contributes to the same diffraction pattern. In example (d), the alternative unit meshes shown are both correct and both would lead to the same ultimate interpretation, but the C(2 x 2) unit mesh offers the greater convenience. 

The consequences for suspended particles can be understood from either a mechanical or a thermodynamic standpoint. A particle immersed in a polymer solution experiences an osmotic pressure acting normal to its surface. For an isolated particle, the integral of the pressure over the entire surface nets zero force. But when the depletion layers of two particles overlap, polymer will be excluded from a portion of the gap (Fig. 30). Consequently, the pressure due to the polymer solution becomes unbalanced, resulting in an attraction. The same conclusion follows from consideration of the Helmholtz free-energy. Overlap of the depletion layers reduces the total volume depleted of polymer, thereby diluting the bulk solution and decreasing the free energy.

For the tube in Fig. 2A, the honeycomb surface net is arranged in a helical way. A chiral angle of 5.0° 0.5° is obtained. The chiral angle is defined as the smallest angle between the tube axis and the C-C bond directions of the honeycomb lattice. We determined the tube axis from a large-scale image. 

It is conventional to describe the real surface by a notation which compares it with the ideal one. The surface net is indexed with respect to the bulk net as a p x g unit cell. A top layer, which is just a bulk termination, is denoted 1x1.

Long-range periodicity of surface nets is readily obtained from LEED patterns, and unit repeating meshes having dimensions over one hundred angstroms on a side are sometimes measured. This is impossible with field ionization microscopy. Only in rare cases has a periodic overlayer ever been observed by FIM on an individual plane, and structures with repeat distances larger than a few atomic diameters can never be recognized.

A 2 x 1 reconstruction represents a rather small surface net, so that Si 100 2x1 could be a very suitable choice for a LEED structure analysis. It was established by Ignatiev et al. [117] that good agreement on quantitative LEED measurements could be obtained between different workers for surfaces prepared either by thermal cleaning at 1520 K or by ion bombardment and annealing. An important point, however, is that in these results only half-order reflections were observed, whereas some... 

The simplest LEED patterns are most frequently characterized by a shorthand notation in which the unit cell of the surface structure is designated with respect to the bulk unit cell. An arrangement of surface atoms (the surface net ) identical to that in the bulk unit cell is called the substrate structure and is designated (1 x 1). For example, the substrate structure of platinum on the (111) surface is designated Pt(lll)-(1 X 1). If the surface structure that forms in the presence of an adsorbed gas is characterized by a unit cell identical to the primitive unit cell of the substrate, the surface structure is denoted (1 x 1)-S, where S is the chemical symbol or formula for the adsorbate. For example, a monolayer of oxygen adsorbed on the (111) face of silicon is denoted Si(l 11)-(1 X l)-0.

The ability of these cationic polyrotaxanes to condense pDNA into particulate structures was evaluated by agarose gel electrophoresis, particle size analysis, and zeta-potential measurements. All the cationic polyrotaxanes could completely complex the pDNA at N/P ratios of 2 and above, which displayed a similar or slightly better DNA condensation ability than PEI (25K). The particle size of the polyrotaxane/DNA complex decreased with the increase of N/P ratio, and when the N/P ratio reached 6, the particle size remained in the 150-250-nm range. Similarly, the surface net charge of the complexes increased from negative to positive as the N/P ratio increased from 0 to 4 and reached a plateau at N/P ratio of 4 and above. The transfection efficiency of the cationic polyrotaxane was also... 

So far, a number of highly active antimicrobial polymers have been developed following the biomimetic concept. They disrupt bacterial cell membranes selectively, because they are negatively charged on the outside. However, amphiphilic antimicrobial polymers are also able to destroy mammalian and human cell membranes due to their amphiphilic character. The tendency of membrane disruption is much lower, because the latter membranes have a neutral surface net charge at the outside and, additionally, contain stabilizing cholesterol. However, amphiphilic polycations are, to some extent, cytotoxic towards mammalian and human cells. So far, selectivity values of hemotoxicity (HCsoj/antimicrobial activity (MIC) of more than 500 have been achieved. 

The plot of Kmax vs. pH and temperature for the tributyrin assay was fitted with a Third-order polynomial against pH and temperature, respectively. The surface net was then generated with unit intervals of 0.1 pH and 1 °C and the contour plot of Fm, vs. pH and temperature was, subsequently, constructed from the surface net values.
