Crystallization and Preliminary Crystallographic Studies of Luffaculin 1,a Ribosome-inactivating Protein from the Seeds of Luffa Acutangula

1 INTRODUCTION The ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are RNA N-glycosidases[1, 2] which inactivate ribosomes by cleaving a single N–C glycosidic bond between adenine and ribose at A4324 in the 28s rRNA of rat. Because of the removal of one adenine from rRNA, elongation factorⅡ(EF-2) can not bind to the 60S subunit, so RIPs can arrest protein synthesis. RIPs can be classified into three types based on the struc- tures of genes and mature proteins[3]. Type 1 RIPs with molec…     

Elaboration de poudres de yig par coprecipitation

This paper deals with an original method for the preparation of ferrites with the garnet structure by coprecipitation.The different transformations of the coprecipitated hydroxide during heat treatment are studied and reported.YIG crystallization from amorphous oxide is significantly dependent of some parameters.However, pure homogeneous materials can be obtained at low temperature (800–850C) for Al substituted YIG Y₃Al_xFe_5–xO₁₂ with 0.5x1.

     

Crystallization of chiral compounds. 1. Spectroscopic,thermochemical, and crystallographic investigation of homochiral and racemic glycidyl p-toluenesulfonate

Crystalline specimens of homochiral and racemic glycidyl p-toluenesulfonate were studied by IR spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and X-ray diffraction analysis. The melting phase diagram of glycidyl p-toluenesulfonate was constructed. The stacking effect in the crystals of the racemic sulfonate is responsible for a more dense molecular packing, with the result that a heterochiral type of crystallization becomes more favorable.

Preparation of spherical spinel LiMn2O4 cathode material for lithium ion batteries

A novel process is proposed for synthesis of spinel LiMn₂O₄ with spherical particles from the inexpensive materials MnSO₄, NH₄HCO₃, and NH₃H₂O. The successful preparation started with carefully controlled crystallization of MnCO₃, leading to particles of spherical shape and high tap density. Thermal decomposition of MnCO₃ was investigated by both DTA and TG analysis and XRD analysis of products. A precursor of product, spherical Mn₂O₃, was then obtained by heating MnCO₃. A mixture of Mn₂O₃ and Li₂CO₃ was then sintered to produce LiMn₂O₄ with retention of spherical particle shape. It was found that if lithium was in stoichiometric excess of 5% in the calcination of spinel LiMn₂O₄, the product had the largest initial specific capacity. In this way spherical particles of spinel LiMn₂O₄ were of excellent fluidity and dispersivity, and had a tap density as high as 1.9 g cm^–3 and an initial discharge capacity reaching 125 mAh g^–1. When surface-doped with cobalt in a 0.01 Co/Mn mole ratio, although the initial discharge capacity decreased to 118 mAh g^–1, the 100th cycle capacity retention reached 92.4% at 25°C. Even at 55°C the initial discharge capacity reached 113 mAh g^–1 and the 50th cycle capacity retention was in excess of 83.8%.     

KINETICS OF NON-ISOTHERMAL CRYSTALLIZATION OF POLY (ETHYLENE TEREPHTHALATE) MODIFIED BY POLY (ETHYLENE GLYCOL)

The non-isothermal crystallization kinetics of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) modified by poly (ethlene glycol) (PEG) were determined by DSC. The dual linear regression method was used to evaluate the relationship between the reciprocal of t 1/2 ( the half life of crystallization) and the appropriate temperature variable. The parameters such as the activation energy (Ed) for transport, the equilibrium melting temperature (T_m~0),the nucleation parameter (ψ),themaximum crystallization temperature (T_(e, max)), and the kinetic crystallizability (G) for the copolyesters were obtained. The influence of the PEG content in PET chains on the parameters characterizing crystallization kinetics and crystallization thermodynamics was discussed.     

Crystallization of binary carboxylic acids characterized with streaming potential measurement

The streaming potential of supersaturated solution of binary carboxylic acids, which have even carbon atoms, was determined to characterize crystallization under different temperatures. The value of the streaming potential was related to the type and solubility of the acids and the starting temperature of crystallization, and was easily influenced by the pressure difference of the liquid or the rate of temperature decline. When the temperature was declined to the point where a crystal nucleus appeared, the streaming potential reached the minimum. Thereafter, as the temperature was sequentially lowered, some minicrystals grew, and the streaming potential presented an ascendant tendency. The higher the starting temperature of the acids saturated solution, the higher is the temperature corresponding to the streaming potential minimum. The less the carbon atoms in the acids and the greater the solubility of the acids are, the higher is the temperature of the streaming potential minimum.

Study of the Crystallization of an Aromatic Poly-ether-ketone (PK99) by Calorimetric and X-ray Analysis

An analysis of the crystallization behaviour of a new poly(aryl-ether-ether-ketone-ketone), PK99, by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) is presented. Isothermal crystallization TG were obtained in the whole range between the glass transition temperature (T _g) and the melting temperature (T _m) as a consequence of the slow crystallization kinetics stemming from the closeness of these transitions. The calorimetric results, compared with WAXD data, were applied to determine the theoretical melting temperature and crystallization enthalpy. The DSC and WAXD data were combined in order to calculate the total amount of the crystallizable fraction of the polymer, and a model was proposed to explain the difference between the fractions of crystallinity observed with these techniques. The thermal and X-ray data were also correlated with different lamellar morphologies arising from the crystallization conditions. Finally, DSC experiments on the crystallized sample were used to detect the presence of a rigid amorphous phase which does not relax at T _g.
