We found that an external chlorinating reagent preferentially passed the chlorine to the template cyclodextrin first, and that the cyclodextrin then relayed the chlorine on to the substrate. Furthermore, this was a catalytic process, and occurred faster than chlorination in the absence of the template. The mechanism involved was established by detailed studies, including reaction kinetics. Modification of the cyclodextrin, and its incorporation into a polymer, have led to the production of highly selective catalysts for this aromatic substitution reaction [22]. In other laboratories an electrochemical adaptation of our reaction has also been made, in which the cyclodextrin molecule is attached to the electrodes [23]. 

Cellulose microfibrils are deposited by cellulose synthases into the cell wall in often strikingly regular patterns. Here we discuss several mechanisms that have been put forward to explain the alignment of cellulose microfibrils that gives rise to ordered cell wall textures the hypothesis that cortical microtubules align cellulose microfibrils during their deposition, the liquid crystal hypothesis in which cellulose microfibrils self-assemble into textures after their deposition, the templated incorporation hypothesis, and the geometrical theory in which the density of active cellulose synthase complexes inside the plasma membrane may dictate the architecture of the cell wall.

Low temperature sol-gel technology is promising approach for preparation of modified with organic molecules silica (SG) thin films. Such films are perspective as sensitive elements of optical sensors. Incorporation of polyelectrolytes into SG sol gives the possibility to obtain composite films with ion-exchange properties. The addition of non-ionic surfactants as template agents into SG sol results formation of ordered mechanically stable materials with tunable pore size. 

The most exciting challenge is probably the preparation of BN nanostructures, including nanofibers and nanotubules, using the template-assisted PDCs route. Such an approach could allow us to control the morphology and size of the nanostructured BN materials to be incorporated into the BN matrix. This should significantly enhance the mechanical performance of the resulting composites compared to composites reinforced by BN microfibers. 

The suppressor tRNA developed by the Chamberlin lab for use in a rabbit reticulocyte lysate is based on an E. coli glycyl tRNA, which was initially chosen because glycyl-tRNA synthetases do not rely on a double-sieve editing mechanism for enzymatic hydrolysis of misacylated tRNAs [26]. Two base pair changes were made to the acceptor stem to allow incorporation of the optimal T7 RNA polymerase promoter into the DNA template for tRNA y-Con [27,28],... 

Because template polycondensation is not very well studied at present/ general mechanism is difficult to present. Two main types of polycondensation are well known in the case of conventional polycondensation. They are heteropolycondensation and homopolycondensation. In the heteropolycondensation two different monomers take part in the reaction (e.g., dicarboxylic acid and diamine). In the case of homopolycondensation, one type of monomer molecule is present in the reacting system (e.g., aminoacid). The results published on the template heteropolycondensation indicate that monomer (dicarboxylic acid) is incorporated into a structure of the matrix (prepared from N-phosphonium salt of poly-4-vinyl pyridine) and then the second monomer (diamine) can react with so activated molecules of the first monomer. The mechanism can be represented as in Figure 2.2. 

A similar template-directed approach has been employed to self-assemble [n]rotaxanes incorporating up to four mechanically-interlocked components and large dendritic stoppers Amabilino, D.B., Ashton, P.R., Balzani, V., Brown, C.L., Credi, A., Frdchet, J.M.J., Leon, J.W., Raymo, F.M., Spencer, N., Stoddart, J.F., Venturi, M., J.

Fig. 2- A characteristic of the mechanism of RN A replication is the coupled pair of cycles of synthesis, for the plus- and minus-strand, respectively. A catalytically active complex consists of the enzyme (replicase) and an RNA template. Four phases of each cycle can be distinguished (I) the commencement of replication by the binding of at least two substrate (nucleoside triphosphate) molecules (2) elongation of the replica strand by successive incorporation of nucleotides (3) dissociation of the complete replica away from the replicase (4) dissociation of the enzyme from the S end of the template and its reassociation with the 3 end of a new template. The matrix is represented by I (information), the enzyme by E, and the reaction product by P. The ultimate reaction product P is then used as a template (I). The substrate, S, is the triphosphate of one of the four nucleosides A, U, G, and C. 

Acyclovir requires three phosphorylation steps for activation. It is converted first to the monophosphate derivative by the virus-specified thymidine kinase and then to the di- and triphosphate compounds by the host s cellular enzymes (Figure 49-3). Because it requires the viral kinase for initial phosphorylation, acyclovir is selectively activated and accumulates only in infected cells. Acyclovir triphosphate inhibits viral DNA synthesis by two mechanisms competitive inhibition with deoxyGTP for the viral DNA polymerase, resulting in binding to the DNA template as an irreversible complex and chain termination following incorporation into the viral DNA. 

Biometrics can be used in granting the remote access to the network. The scenario employs a common client-server network model, thus incorporating standard security mechanisms with biometric enhancements. The client terminal (see Figure 9) is a biometric-based host, equipped with the capturing device and the processing unit that measures the biometric trait and calculates the features vector (biometric template). The client capabilities may be understood in a wider sense, thus enabling the client to be equipped with sensors related to more than one biometric modality. The proposed access scenario enables to include the aliveness detection capability and the biometric replay attack prevention. To insert the necessary elements into the communication flow, capture-dependent parameters will be retrieved by the client terminal prior to the biometric trait measurement.
