Using candidate gene sequencing and methods of standard population genetics, we further pinpointed the mutation to a single nucleotide change in a gene, called protein Eukaryotic translation elongation factor 2, EEF2 for short.
Then they began experimenting with dual-phase steel and found that its properties are well-suited to their purposes: it allows for thinner walls and lower weight; it has a high elongation factor which gives better formability; and it offers a greater spread between yield strength and tensile strength, so that it will bend easily in deep draw dies without breaking.
Made from a renewable resource, we understand it can be used with a variety of cardboard grades, has an elongation factor of 10 percent, will withstand short term shocks and combines good holding power with tensile strength.
