(n.) The antepenult.
Example Sentences:
(1) After glucoamylase digestion, maltopentaosides with a 3,6-anhydro glucose as antepenultimate unit were produced in good yield.
(2) The enzyme failed to hydrolyze peptides having a proline or cysteic acid in the COOH-terminal, penultimate, and antepenultimate positions.
(3) Kenny continues his campaign with the men's match sprint quarter-finals while Victoria Pendleton begins the antepenultimate day of her track-racing career with qualifying and preliminary rounds in the sprint.
(4) In that case the antepenultimate residue (D, V, I or T) would be only weakly stringent, and some sequences primed by H instead of K would be recognized in animal as well as in yeast cells.
(5) Among the Mohawk children, the earliest segmentation of words was phonological rather than morphological: stressed syllables, usually penultimate or antepenultimate, were extracted first.
(6) A survey of carboxypeptidase Y-catalyzed carboxyl-terminal modification of short peptides in the presence of various amino acids revealed that transpeptidation occurred in significant yield only with peptides containing a proline at the penultimate or antepenultimate position.
(7) We have also observed that guanosine at the antepenultimate position provides a second consensus feature among IVSs in tRNA precursors.
(8) Comparison with hog peptides known to contain all the triiodothyronine (T3) of the mature Tg suggests that the antepenultimate amino acid, a tyrosine residue could be involved in hormone formation.
(9) Cell retention signals of the type HXEL-COOH appear to be common in higher eukaryotes and tolerate considerable variation at the antepenultimate X residue.
(10) These substrates correspond to the carboxyl-terminal three amino acids of the mature forms of epidermal growth factor (EGF) and beta-nerve growth factor (beta-NGF), as well as various substitutions in the penultimate and antepenultimate positions, and, as such, represent potential recognition sites for precursor processing.
(11) The effect of varying the antepenultimate amino acid residue in this series on the biological activity was studied.
(12) Families of peptides of the structure S-Y-S-G-G-L-L-L were generated by successively replacing the N-terminal serine, the penultimate tyrosine, and the antepenultimate serine with all 19 commonly occurring amino acids, which were then assessed for their reactivity with the rat liver enzyme.
