  • (19) They also suggest that the B6 background expresses an Igh allotype particularly amenable to autoantibody production, in spite of the relatively mild SLE-like syndrome in this strain.
  • (20) While many forms of male factor infertility are amenable to treatment, for some patients there is no corrective therapy available.

Conformable


Definition:

  • (a.) Corresponding in form, character, opinions, etc.; similar; like; consistent; proper or suitable; -- usually followed by to.
  • (a.) Disposed to compliance or obedience; ready to follow direstions; submissive; compliant.
  • (a.) Parallel, or nearly so; -- said of strata in contact.

Example Sentences:

  • (2) It has been conformed that catalase from bovine liver eliminates only the pro R hydrogen atom from ethanol.
  • (3) The high transition enthalpy for kerasin is ascribed to a lesser accommodation of gauche conformers in the hydrocarbon chains just below the transition temperature.
  • (4) The Tyr side chain had two conformations of comparable energy, one over the ring between the Gln and Asn side chains, and the other with the Tyr side chain away from the ring.
  • (5) In a series of compounds with H2-antihistaminic activity, a conformational analysis was performed based on force field calculations.
  • (6) Recently, we have designed a series of simplified artificial signal sequences and have shown that a proline residue in the signal sequence plays an important role in the secretion of human lysozyme in yeast, presumably by altering the conformation of the signal sequence [Yamamoto, Y., Taniyama, Y., & Kikuchi, M. (1989) Biochemistry 28, 2728-2732].
  • (7) The molecule may already in its native form have an extended conformation containing either free sulfhydryl groups or small S-S loops not affecting mobility in SDS-PAGE.
  • (8) In 0.17 M Na+(aq), tRNA(Phe) exists in its native conformation and the number of strong binding sites (Ka greater than or equal to 10(4)) was estimated to be 3-4 by titration experiments, in agreement with X-ray structural data for crystalline tRNA(Phe) (Jack et al., 1977).
  • (9) In voltage-clamp experiments the ion current flowing through the channels was homogeneous indicating a defined conformation and a uniform size.
  • (10) However, it does not and we therefore propose the presence of an unusual DNA conformation in these regions.
  • (11) We propose that, for a GC base pair in B conformation, there are two amino proton exchangeable states--a cytosine amino proton exchangeable state and a guanine amino proton exchangeable state; both require the disruption of only the corresponding interbase H bond.
  • (12) In air-saturated solutions of DNA, yields of 8-hydroxypurines were not influenced greatly by DNA conformation.
