CRYSTAL MANTRA. "Growth and perfection of crystals." (1958). https://lnkd.in/dWj5wfY View in LinkedIn

IDEALIZED FORMS. "Crystalline perfection of high purity synthetic diamond crystal. It was found that by using strain-free and low defect crystals for the seeds, the line defects (dislocation bundles) could be removed, thereby improving the crystalline quality of the synthetic type IIa diamonds." https://lnkd.in/dvbdJFi View in LinkedIn

"TOWARD PERFECTION: Kapellasite, Cu3Zn(OH)6Cl2, a New Model S = 1/2 Kagome Antiferromagnet." https://lnkd.in/d9ywQkc View in LinkedIn

MODERN CRYSTAL QUEST. "It has been emphasized in the literature that the protein crystal perfection increases in microgravity conditions." (NASA space station experiment). https://lnkd.in/daH7g7g View in LinkedIn

COMMERCIAL QUEST. "We present a new strategy for making silica colloidal crystal films with a sufficiently high level of structural perfection and optical quality to make it competitive as a practical route to photonic crystal optical components." https://lnkd.in/dAnTMPY View in LinkedIn

"PROTEIN CRYSTALS have been found to be more perfect as measured by their X-ray reflection rocking widths using collimated synchrotron radiation. The use of this parameter to assess the perfection of crystals grown by new methods, or in new environments such as microgravity, is important. Irradiation of protein crystals with X-ray almost invariably leads to a loss of perfection." (1988). https://lnkd.in/d5Vshm5 View in LinkedIn

AWE AT REMARKABLE COMPLEXITY. "Photosynthesis: a thermodynamic perfection of nature." (1953). https://lnkd.in/dQ_h8_c View in LinkedIn

ENZYMATIC SALTATIONS. "Enzymes are erroneously considered exquisitely precise and efficient molecular catalysts. Natural enzymes are also evolvable: in other words, they can migrate through mutational trajectories to arrive at alternative catalytic activities, sometimes in unexpected saltatory fashion." https://lnkd.in/d3RnrBP View in LinkedIn

ENZYME PERFECTION. "Perfection in enzyme catalysis. During the last 10(9) years the structures of biological macromolecules have been refined and improved so as to optimize the functioning of the organisms that use them." (1976). https://lnkd.in/dv8GHqY View in LinkedIn

CONFLICTED PERFECTION. "For some enzymes, there is going to be a conflict between changes that maximize catalytic effectiveness and changes that optimize control, and for these enzymes we may expect that some catalytic power has been sacrificed to the higher good of metabolic control." http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/ar50112a001 View in LinkedIn
