What's the difference between analogous and synonymous?

Analogous


Definition:

  • (a.) Having analogy; corresponding to something else; bearing some resemblance or proportion; -- often followed by to.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) First results let us assume that clinically silent TIAs also (in analogy to clinically silent brain infarctions) could be detected and located.
  • (2) These studies led to the following conclusions: (a) all the prominent NHP which remain bound to DNA are also present in somewhat similar proportions in the saline-EDTA, Tris, and 0.35 M NaCl washes of nuclei; (b) a protein comigrating with actin is prominent in the first saline-EDTA wash of nuclei, but present as only a minor band in the subsequent washes and on washed chromatin; (c) the presence of nuclear matrix proteins in all the nuclear washes and cytosol indicates that these proteins are distributed throughout the cell; (d) a histone-binding protein (J2) analogous to the HMG1 protein of K.

  • (7) This report is an overview of the data and has incorporated some additional findings of the influence of the ACTH4-9 analog, Org2766, on neuronal excitation, especially in the hippocampus.

  • (9) Chemotherapy and SMS-analogs can provide long-term palliation.
  • (10) In the absence of guanine nucleotides, or in the presence of a non-hydrolyzable GTP analog, only one round of ribosome binding occurs.

  • (12) The changes in muscle activity had the same pattern and similar phase-frequency properties to those observed under analogous vestibular stimulation during the maintenance of steady posture.
  • (13) Reconstituted freeze dried allogeneic skin grafts contained virtually no blood, a phenomenon possibly analogous to the 'no reflow' phenomenon of microsurgery.
  • (14) A comparative evaluation of these data suggest that hormone independent cells are present in the cervical crypts of late menopause women and that a cyclic change of hormone dependent cells may occur in fertile women, analogous to the cyclic changes of endometrial mucosa.
  • (15) A hybrid analog cecropin A-(1-11) D-(12-37) was designed and predicted to have enhanced potency.
  • (16) A new analog of salmon calcitonin (N alpha-propionyl Di-Ala1,7,des-Leu19 sCT; RG-12851; here termed CTR), which lacks the ring structure of native calcitonin, was tested for biological activity in several in vitro and in vivo assay systems.
  • (17) Several derivatives and analogs of the recently reported antiproliferative and antitumor agent trans-bis(salicylaldoximato)copper(II) (CuSAO2) have been prepared and tested for antiproliferative activity against L1210 leukemia cells in vitro.
  • (18) The analogy with infant sleep patterns and results of studies of brain function in narcoleptics suggest that forebrain inhibitory processes are more important in narcoleptic symptomology than is brainstem dysfunction.
  • (19) Such agents may permit the synthesis of additional analogs in an effort to obtain optimal affinity in the Tc-99m complexes.
  • (20) We found that 1) polyclonal antibodies raised against epithelial Na+ channel proteins from bovine kidney cross-react with a 135-kDa protein in ATII membrane vesicles on Western blots; 2) using the photoreactive amiloride analog, 2'-methoxy-5'-nitrobenzamil (NMBA), in combination with anti-amiloride antibodies, we found that NMBA specifically labeled the same M(r) protein; and 3) monoclonal anti-idiotypic antibodies directed against anti-amiloride antibodies also recognized this same M(r) protein on Western blots.

Synonymous


Definition:

  • (a.) Having the character of a synonym; expressing the same thing; conveying the same, or approximately the same, idea.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) NNG codons are preferred over the synonymous NNA codons 5' to the positions of lysine in the genes.
  • (2) Aeromonas caviae is a later and illegitimate synonym of Aeromonas punctata.
  • (3) It has come to mean the objective description of the symptoms and signs of psychiatric illness, a synonym for clinical psychopathology as opposed to that other psychopathology which derives from psychoanalytic theory.
  • (4) I've seen DJs in clubs with beards that make them look more like Charles Manson on a scruffy day than the cutting edge of cool, but, apparently, the two are synonymous these days.
  • (5) Ribosomes programmed by different synonymous codons also differ in discriminating among near-cognate aminoacylated tRNAs.
  • (6) It is not synonymous, however, with increased intracranial pressure (ICP).
  • (7) Comparison of the two estimates suggests that during the course of evolution synonymous codon changes have accumulated in the alpha-chain-structural genes.
  • (8) A key for the determination, synonymes and diagnoses of the metacercariae of the 4 Ichthyocotylurus species are presented.
  • (9) The show discovered Susan Boyle and Paul Potts, but more recently has become synonymous with dancing dogs (controversially so last year, when it emerged the winner had used a stunt double ).
  • (10) Follicular mucinosis is not synonymous with alopecia mucinosa but is analogous to other histologic reaction patterns of cutaneous epithelium such as epidermolytic hyperkeratosis, focal acantholytic dyskeratosis, and cornoid lamellation.
  • (11) The ratio of the number of nucleotide substitutions in the rodent lineage to that in the human lineage since their divergence is 2.0 for synonymous substitutions and 1.3 for nonsynonymous substitutions.
  • (12) Syrian peace talks break up after making only 'incremental progress' Read more “The child Omran is a victim of Assad’s barrel bombs and not the terrorism of Daesh,” wrote Kutaiba Yassin, a Syrian writer, using a synonym for Islamic State.
  • (13) Age differences in absolute decision time were greater for the synonyms than for the other word pairs, but the proportional slowing of decision time exhibited by the older adults was constant across word-pair type.
  • (14) An alternative process leads to the surprising conclusion that each non-synonymous site has accumulated as many as 2.6 substitutions, on the average, in the two lineages leading to humans and mice.
