β¦ Synopsis
The interchange or so-called transamidation process in polyamide-4.6 was investigated by means of small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). For this purpose, a 50/50 blend of partially deuterated and fully hydrogenous polyamide-4.6 was processed at 300Β°C for variable times (1-20 min). The obtained results are in line with the theory as described by Benoit to quantify the transesterfication process in homopolyesters. An exponential relaxation time T of approximately 1500 s was obtained. On the basis of this relaxation time 7 , it can be calculated that approximately four interchange reactions per chain occur in polyamide-4.6 during a typical processing time of 3 min at 300Β°C. The data interpretation is not complicated by the presence of some crystallinity in polyamide-4.6.

Recombinant gelatins are currently evaluated as new excipients for pharmaceutical formulations. They can differ from nonrecombinant gelatins because of intentional alteration of the amino acid sequence and specific properties of the expression systems used. This may affect their solution behavior. I
## Abstract The present study investigates shape properties of the enzyme dUTPase from Escherichia coli in the solution phase. In this work small angle neutron scattering (SANS) findings on dUTPase/D~2~O solutions for temperature values of __T__β=β8βΒ°C and __T__β=β37βΒ°C are presented. The analysis
