Absciss


Definition:

  • (n.) See Abscissa.

  • (19) We demonstrate here the specific and saturable labeling of a population of larval receptors with the GABA analog beta-(p-chlorophenyl)-[3H]GABA ([3H]baclofen); identification of these labeled receptors with those controlling metamorphosis is suggested by four independent criteria: the effectiveness of GABA and its close structural analogs to induce metamorphosis is closely correlated with the effectiveness of these compounds to compete for binding to this receptor; the natural inducer purified from the recruiting algae competes for binding to this receptor; (-)-[3H]baclofen specifically bound to the receptors is shed from the larvae after approximately 20 hr, at the time corresponding to the metamorphic abscission and shedding of sensory cilia and other structures from the larvae; and the availability of the receptors for labeling and the ability of the larvae to respond to GABA and GABA analogs can be down-regulated in parallel by habituation of the larvae early in their development.
  • (20) The apparent threshold for AVP release (defined as the abscissal intercept of the regression line relating plasma AVP [PAVP] to Posmol) was also decreased significantly throughout gestation, as was the osmotic threshold for thirst (derived from analogue scales relating desire to drink to Posmol).

Abscissa


Definition:

  • (n.) One of the elements of reference by which a point, as of a curve, is referred to a system of fixed rectilineal coordinate axes.

Example Sentences:

  • (5) Slopes greater than 1 were obviously due to discrepancies between the free inhibitor concentration (If) present in the assay and It plotted on the abscissa and could, therefore, be indicators of tight-binding conditions.
  • (6) The method makes use of (i) the abscissa of the first inflection point of the plot of any signal proportional to the binding of ligand to receptors versus the logarithm of the total ligand concentration, and (ii) the initial slope of the saturation curve plotted in direct coordinates.
  • (7) The relationship between the slope of the plot and the substrate concentration shows characteristic features depending on the inhibition type: for partial competitive inhibition, the straight line converging on the abscissa at--Ks, the dissociation constant of the enzyme-substrate complex; for non-competitive inhibition, a constant slope independent of the substrate concentration; for uncompetitive inhibition, a hyperbola decreasing with the increase in the substrate concentration; for mixed-type inhibition, a hyperbola increasing with the increase in the substrate concentration.
