The velocity constants k ' of the reaction of carbon dioxide with the anions of the amino acids glycine, glycyl-glycine, α-alanine, β-alanine, valine, histidine, β-phenyl alanine, α-amino phenyl acetic acid, and e-amino caproic acid have been determined by the rapid thermal method. At 25 °C the value of k ' is given approximately by the equation log 10 k ' = 0.262 p K + 1.197 where p K is the p K value of the amino group which reacts. For glycine and glycyl-glycine the energies of activation have been determined as 8.2 and 8.3 kcal respectively over the range 10 to 40 °C.

The atomic force microscope (AFM) is an instrument that can be used to image many samples of interest in biology and medicine. Images of polymerized amino acids, polyalanine and polyphenylalanine demonstrate the potential of the AFM for revealing the structure of molecules. Images of the protein fibrinogen which agree with TEM images demonstrate that the AFM can provide topographical data on larger molecules. Finally, images of DNA suggest the AFM may soon provide an easier and faster technique for DNA sequencing.The AFM consists of a microfabricated SiO2 triangular shaped cantilever with a diamond tip affixed at the elbow to act as a probe. The sample is mounted on a electronically driven piezoelectric crystal. It is then placed in contact with the tip and scanned. The topography of the surface causes minute deflections in the 100 μm long cantilever which are detected using an optical lever.

<p>Covalent organic Imine polymers with intrinsic meso-porosity were synthesized by condensation reaction between 4,4-diamino diphenyl methane and (para/meta/ortho)-phthaladehyde. Even though these polymers were synthesized from precursors of bis-bis covalent link mode, the bulk materials were micrometer size particles with intrinsic mesoporous enables nitrogen as well as carbon dioxide adsorption in the void spaces. These polymers were showed stability up to 260<sup>o</sup> centigrade. Nitrogen gas adsorption capacity up to 250 cc/g in the ambient pressure was observed with type III adsorption characteristic nature. Carbon dioxide adsorption experiments reveal the possible terminal amine functional group to carbamate with CO<sub>2</sub> gas molecule to the polymers. One of the imine polymers, COP-3 showed more carbon dioxide sorption capacity and isosteric heat of adsorption (Q<sub>st</sub>) than COP-1 and COP-2 at 273 K even though COP-3 had lower porosity for nitrogen gas than COP-1 and COP-2. We explained the trends in gas adsorption capacities and Qst values as a consequence of the intra molecular interactions confirmed by Density Functional Theory computational experiments on small molecular fragments.</p>

The racemization rates of amino acids in acidic medium (acetic acid) were studied. The sensitivity to racemization decreases in the order (E)-3,4-didehydroornithine > (E)-Nδ-Z-3,4-didehydroornithine >> (Z)-3,4-didehydronorvaline > ornithine, norvaline. (E)-3,4-Didehydroornithine is also relatively rapidly racemized on heating with 5 M or 0.05 M-HCl (100 °C).
