Folding stabilities of camelized human antibody VH domains were studied through the determination of their melting points in thermodenaturation experiments. The melting point of a VH domain originating from a synthetic library of human VHs, which had been optimized for the use as small recognition units through the mimicking of camelid antibody heavy chains occurring naturally without light cha...

A multianvil apparatus ha been used to determine th pressure-temperature mel ing curve of forsterite from 9.7 to 16.5 GPa. At 10.1 GPa a singular point occurs that marks the change from congruent melting at lower pressures to incongruent melting (forsterite periclase + liquid) at higher pressures. The melting curve also passes through two invariant points. At one (15.6 GPa, 2310øC), the phases ...

In this study, poly carbonate (PC) and poly (ethylene terephthalate) (PET) were reactive melt-blended under two different conditions to produce PC/PET copolymers. For each condition, samples were taken at specified mixing times representative a specific structure of copolymers and each one employed to physically compatibilize a PC/PET blend with a fixed composition. Reactive blending and copoly...

IN recent papers, Saunders [1934; 1938] has described the preparation of the 3:5-dinitrobenzoyl derivatives of certain amino-acids and has suggested their use for purposes of identification. This possibility has been confirmed by the present author; however, certain discrepancies have been observed between published data and present experience and these observations are embodied in this communi...

Partial phase diagrams are of considerable utility in the development of optimized cryobiological procedures. Recent theoretical predictions of the melting points of ternary solutions of interest to cryobiology have caused us to re-examine measurements that our group made for the ethylene-glycol-sodium chloride-water phase diagram. Here we revisit our previous experiments by measuring melting p...
