What's the difference between affined and affixed?
Affined
Definition:
(a.) Joined in affinity or by any tie.

(4) Because cystine in medium was converted rapidly to cysteine and cysteinyl-NAC in the presence of NAC and given that cysteine has a higher affinity for uptake by EC than cystine, we conclude that the enhanced uptake of radioactivity was in the form of cysteine and at least part of the stimulatory effect of NAC on EC glutathione was due to a formation of cysteine by a mixed disulfide reaction of NAC with cystine similar to that previously reported for Chinese hamster ovarian cells (R. D. Issels et al.

(14) These results indicate that both the renal brush-border and basolateral membranes possess the Na(+)-dependent dicarboxylate transport system with very similar properties but with different substrate affinity and transport capacity.
(15) This novel mechanism of receptor regulation, named transmodulation, should be distinguished from the reduction in total receptor number caused by the homologous ligand (downregulation) and from the change in affinity produced by the binding of agonists or antagonists to the same receptor site.
(16) Neurotensin (NT) is an endogenous brain tridecapeptide for which high affinity binding sites exist in the central nervous system.
(17) In lactate medium the capacity of each AIB carrier is unchanged but its affinity is reduced to one-third.
(18) The telencephalon of teleost fish shows high affinity uptake for D-[3H]aspartate, intermediate levels of GABAergic markers and low levels of cholinergic enzymes.
(19) In all immunized rabbits the antisera obtained with the 7 alpha-derivative had a higher affinity and a narrower specificity than the antiserum obtained with the 7 beta-derivative.
(20) The binding parameters indicate that the principal activating effect of UMP is not simply to increase the affinity of the enzyme for glucose.
Affixed
Definition:
(imp. & p. p.) of Affix
Example Sentences:
(1) This is best accomplished with a continuous stream of normal saline from a 1-I bag which is attached to an intravenous line with a 16-gauge Teflon catheter placement sleeve affixed to the distal end of the line.
(2) A device for computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous punctures that is not affixed to the patient and can be used even when the gantry is tilted was developed and tested.
(3) We propose a linguistic analysis of the correlation in terms of Kiparsky's (1982, 1985) level-ordering model plus an additional ordering condition on affixes: default (regular) affixes cannot serve as input to compounding processes.
(4) The correlation was similar if the meter was affixed instead directly to the scalp with collodion gel, and the clinical reliability improved.
(5) A locking mechanism with a suture affixed to the distal portion of the mushroom tip is described.
(6) The group antigen did not affix to mouse erythrocytes in vivo.
(7) By contrast, monolayer-coated dimyristoyl-PC magnetic structures are inferior with respect to both their reactivation potency and their ability to strongly affix cytochrome-c oxidase and to improve the thermal stability of the enzyme.
(8) The Antelope on Mitcham Road has a choice of three open fires where you can affix your undergarments.

(10) Radiopaque markers of 4 mm diameter were affixed to the pharyngeal wall by suction.
(11) Based on longitudinal data from impaired and unimpaired monolingual German-speaking children, we find a striking, statistically significant correlation: plural affixes that are used in overregularizations, namely -n or -s, are left out within compounds.
(12) An external localizing device, consisting of a series of tubes visible on MR, is affixed to an individually fitted thermoplastic mask.
