Document Processing and Retrieval: Texpros
Record Processing and Retrieval: TEXPROS specializes in the layout and implementation of a private, customizable workplace details and rfile processing method known as TEXPROS (a textual content PROcessing System). TEXPROS is a private, clever place of work details and rfile processing process for text-oriented files.
Anisotropy Effects in Superconductors
Contemplating the big growth completed in a few unique parts of superconductivity over the past few years, it appeared valuable to debate completely an issue, which has encountered critical seasoned blems at the theoretical and the experimental facet, particularly the consequences of the anisotropic electron and phonon houses of (single crystalline) fabrics at the attribute good points of the great carrying out nation.

In previous reports, we and others interpreted the appearance of the -360 kOa as to represent the proces of receptor dimerization. However our findings and those of others are also consistent with the possibility that the EGF-induced -360 kOa band represents preexisting EGF receptor dimers which can only be trapped by crosslinking upon binding of EGF. In this respect, very recently, interesting experiments have been preformed with truncated EGF receptors which were only expressed at the cell surface if wild type 37 receptors were present.

It is conceivable that the electric field across the plasma membrane may act on charged residues of the receptor located near the inner side of the plasma membrane or that it may modulate putative noncovalent interactions that could be important for dimer stabilization. To test the possible effects of alterations in transmembrane potential, dimer stabilization was followed in cells incubated in medium containing 150 mM K+, which abolishes the transmembrane potential. However in vivo stabilization of dimers in this high K+ buffer was comparable to control, 36 indicating that the electric field across the plasma membrane is not important for receptor dimer stabilization.
