Nociceptor and Hair Cell Transducer Properties of TRPA1, a Channel for Pain and Hearing (2005, background): “…from other TRP channels by the large number of ankyrin repeats ( 29 and 17 , respectively ) , a structural feature that could provide the attachment to the cytoskeleton and / or the gat - ing spring that are believed to be inherent to the mechanosensory apparatus ( Gillespie and Walker , 2001 ) .”
Force-induced activation of covalent bonds in mechanoresponsive polymeric materials (2009, methodology): “Spiropyrans functionalized with a-bromo esters were used to initiate single-electron-transfer living radical polymerization and incorporate a single spiropyran in the middle (1, 3) or at the end (2) of the polymer chain.”
