Abstract The buffer layer defects of high‐voltage crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) cable occur frequently, which makes the detection method become focus to be studied. Here, broadband impedance technology for XLPE cables with corrugated aluminium sheath is investigated. There are nine samples, including new and defective ones. Some artificial, other retired cables. influence wiring mode, circumf...

We report the development of photo-crosslinked siRNA strands modified at each terminus with p-cyanostilbene. The siRNA was nuclease resistant and retained RNAi activity. We further studied the activation mechanism of the covalently-crosslinked siRNA. Interestingly Dicer, which is known to generate siRNA with overhanging 3' ends from the precursor siRNA, did not cleave the crosslinked siRNA at a...

Many G protein-coupled receptors form dimers in cells. However, underlying mechanisms are barely understood. We report here that intracellular factor XIIIA transglutaminase crosslinks agonist-induced AT1 receptor homodimers via glutamine315 in the carboxyl-terminal tail of the AT1 receptor. The crosslinked dimers displayed enhanced signaling and desensitization in vitro and in vivo. Inhibition ...

This study investigates the solid-state structure of a copolymer composed polyethylene glycol (PEG) and azacalixarene, which has two s-triazine rings phenyl alternately crosslinked by amino groups. Azacalixarene derivatives containing low-molecular-weight linker moiety exhibiting an amorphous have been synthesized in previous studies; however, this study, they are crystallized substitution with...

The 30S ribosomal subunit of E. coli was treated with the bifunctional reagent bis-(methyl)suberimidate. Crosslinked ribosomal proteins were identified as bands with increased molecular weight after electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gels containing sodium dodecyl sulphate. The pattern of crosslinked products was altered when unfolded subunits were used. Free ribosomal protein was not crosslinke...
