Cross-linking fixatives are types of fixatives that are used to quickly halt enzymatic degradation. Formaldehyde, osmium tetroxide, and glutaraldehyde are the most commonly used cross-linking fixatives.

What does PEX stands for in DU results?

PEX is produced with crosslinked polyethylene. Crosslinking is obtained through a chemical process that increases the bonds between macromolecules to form a more complex structure than the normal polyethylene. Due to the crosslinking, the polyethylene's performance is greatly enhanced still maintaining the excellent properties of thermoplastics. for more details you may visit on this link : http://www.ardipex.com/pex-pipes.php


What is the Function of mercaptoethanol in SDS PAGE?

breaks the disulfide bonds, reduces the crosslinking in proteins, and hence, denatures it.


How does penicillin work as an enzyme inhibitor?

Penicillin works by irreversibly inhibiting an enzyme (transpeptidase) that catalyzes a crosslinking reaction in the formation of the bacterial cell wall. Penicillin inhibits the transpeptidase by forming an irreversible covalent bond with the active-site serine residue in the enzyme


Why is polymer bouncy?

Rubber is especially bouncy because of its wrinkled chains between sparse crosslinks. The crosslinking prevents the material being a liquid. The chains become almost linear when the material is stretched. The restoring force is a statistical phenomenon: There are many more wrinkled conformations than "almost linear" ones. The "need" for many conformations increases with temperature as does the restoring force.

What is Carnoy's fixative?

Fixatives are classified as coagulative fixatives and cross-linking fixatives. Carnoy's fixative is a coagulative fixative. Coagulative fixatives change the shape or structure of protein molecules without binding to them, while cross-linking fixatives bind chemically to protein molecules at one or more points. In cross-linking fixatives molecules are linked together to form an insoluble latticework by forming chemical bridges between protein chains. Carnoy's fixative is a coagulative fixative.

Polyurethane becomes sticky because it takes an hour or longer for the oxygen-induce crosslinking to occur. Polyurethane is a varnish used on wood.
