B The prepolymerization complex is formed via covalent or noncovalent chemistry. C The formation of the network. D Wash step where original template is removed. E Rebinding of template. F In less crosslinked systems, movement of the macromolecular chains will produce areas of differing affinity and specificity (filled molecule is isomer of template).

Role of alkali and NH cations in the crystallization of ZSM-5 Introduced in an aqueous (alumino) silicate gel (sol), the bare alkali cations will behave in various ways firstly, they will interact with water dipoles and increase the (super) saturation of the sol. Secondly, once hydrated, they will interact with the aluminosilicate anions with, as a result, the precipitation of the so formed gel (salting-out effect). Thirdly, if sufficiently small, they also can order the structural subunits precursors to nucleation species of various zeolites (template function-fulfilled by hydrated Na+ in the case of ZSM-5 (11,48)). ... 

Finally, single macromolecules, because of their one-dimensional character, offer the promise of sequential side group coding, information storage, and template function in the manner that is well known in biological polymers (Figure 1). 

Clofazimine is phenazine dye and used as alternative to dapsone in dapsone intolerant/resistant cases and in combination with dapsone and rifampicin in the multidrug treatment of leprosy. It s probable mechanism of action is its involvement in DNA binding, it may interfere with template function of DNA. 

The use of oxime bond formation with orthogonal protection techniques allows the efficient construction of an antiparallel four-helix-bundle TASP122 (Scheme 19) by condensing amphiphilic peptide blocks, containing aldehyde functions at the C- or N-terminus, to a topological template functionalized with selectively addressable aminooxy acetic acid moieties, t20,22,971... 

An MIP film attached to a quartz resonator of the QCM transducer has been used successfully to devise a chemosensor for determination of disinfection by-products of haloacetic acids in drinking water [128]. An ACN solution of trichloroacetic acid (TCAA), VPD, EGDMA and AIBN, used as the template, functional monomer, cross-linker and initiator, respectively, has been polymerized thermo-radically. Next, the resulting MIP was spin-coated on a quartz resonator to form a thin film. The TCAA template was then extracted by rinsing the film with water. This TCAA... 

Daunorubicin (Daunomycin and Cerubidine) and doxorubicin (Adriamycin) bind to and cause the intercalation of the DNA molecule, thereby inhibiting DNA template function. They also provoke DNA chain scission and chromosomal damage. Daunorubicin is useful in treating patients with acute lymphocytic or acute granulocytic leukemia. Adriamycin is useful in cases of solid tumors such as sarcoma, metastatic breast cancer, and thyroid cancer. These agents cause stomatitis, alopecia, myelosuppression, and cardiac abnormalities ranging from arrhythmias to cardiomyopathy.

Clofazimine [kloe FA zi meen] is a phenazine dye that binds to DNA and inhibits template function. Its redox properties may lead to the generation of cytotoxic oxygen radicals that are also toxic to the bacteria. Clofazimine is bactericidal to M- leprae and has some activity against M- avium intracellulare complex. On oral absorption, it accumulates in tissues, allowing for intermittent therapy, but it does not enter the CNS. Patients may develop a red-brown discoloration of the skin. Eosinophilic enteritis has been reported as an untoward effect. The drug also has some anti-inflammatory activity, thus erythema nodosum leprosum does not develop. 

A requirement for a metal ion template has been established for the majority of reactions described in this section. Other reactions described are those in which metal ions, particularly Na +, are part of the stoichiometry of the reactions but for which a template function has not been identified. 

Undoubtedly, the most important stereochemical feature is chirality. The [2]-rotaxane depicted schematically in Figure 2.12a is made with a macrocycle and a dumbbell that are not themselves chiral but oriented by appropriate substitution patterns on these components. Vogtle and co-workers described cycloenantiomeric rotaxanes that are based on the amide templating functionality (Figure 2.13).36 Racemic [2]-rotaxane 34 was synthesized in 20% yield by reaction of unsymmetrical acid dichloride 32 with trityl aniline 33 in the presence of macrocycle 31. The object and its mirror image are created by different sequences of the amide and sulfonamide linkers in both the dumbbell and the macrocyclic component. If the order of the atoms within the dumbbell is examined, in one enantiomer the sulfonamide nitrogen atom is... 

Depending on the template-functional monomer system, the type of polymer, the conditions for its preparation and the concentration interval covered in the experiment, the adsorption isotherms of MIPs have been well fitted with all the isotherm models [24,25,41,30],... 

CHCI3 decreased the fluorescence intensity dramatically. Thus, further MIPs were prepared using 1 mL of porogen. The template/functional monomer ratio was also examined and it was found that a maximum fluorescence intensity was observed for flavonol/MAA ratios of ca. 0.1, while ratios from 0.01 to 0.5 exhibited significantly decreased fluorescence intensities but similar or slightly higher response times. Thus, this ratio was employed in the preparation of subsequent MIPs.
