What's the difference between anticlockwise and laevorotatory?
Anticlockwise
Definition:
Example Sentences:
(1) The depth effect was reversed, for example, from clockwise to anticlockwise, when the trailing edges of the targets were in alignment.

(5) The hybridization results thus demonstrate that (i) the regulation of the argECBH gene cluster in E. coli is under transcriptional control, (ii) the orientation of transcription is divergent, (iii) E gene transcribes anticlockwise, whereas the rest of the genes, C, B, and H, transcribe clockwise, and (iv) the position of the promoter(s) and operator(s) is located between the E and C genes of the argECBH cluster.
(6) Gene orientation was in the anticlockwise ("silent") direction.
(7) A P0 peak in the PSTH was never produced by an anticlockwise stimulation [corrected] at intensities which we could explore with the technique.
(8) Three of the 4 patients had anticlockwise rotation of the heart, which displaced the apex.
(9) In normal subjects, right FDI responses are larger with anticlockwise currents than with clockwise [corrected] currents at the same stimulation strength and vice versa.
(10) Atrial flutter is a right intra-atrial macroreentry of anticlockwise (common flutter) or clockwise (atypical flutter) rotation, maintained by anisotropic conduction around two pivotal zones located at the posterior and inferior part of the atrium.
(11) They formed a characteristic lattice, with two arrays of fibres running diagonally in a clockwise and an anticlockwise direction, and making an angle of 50 degrees-55 degrees with the longitudinal axis of the intestine.
(12) The relationship between pharmacologic effect and morphine concentrations in ventricular CSF resulted in an anticlockwise hysteresis curve.
(13) The CT studies commonly show a Yakovlevian anticlockwise torque (taking the nose as 12 o'clock), with the left occipital pole longer and often extending across the midline toward the right and a wider right hemisphere in its central and frontal portions and frequent forward protrusion of the right frontal pole.
(14) The orientation of the ribbons in a clockwise or anticlockwise direction reflects the polarity of the wall lattice of the MT with which they are associated.
(15) Clockwise and anticlockwise cervical stimulation were performed over C5, C7 and T2 spinous processes.
(16) A Highways Agency spokesman said: "As a precaution, the east tunnel will be closed to northbound, anticlockwise traffic from 4am with the possibility of gales affecting the Queen Elizabeth II bridge which normally carries clockwise, southbound traffic from the M25 across the Thames."
(17) Translation (and transcription) of phoA is therefore in the anticlockwise direction relative to the conventional E. coli linkage map.
(18) Immediately following excision of the caudal half of the tectum, a piece of the tectal tissue was dissected from the remaining rostral half-tectum, and then reimplanted to the same half-tectum after either 180 or 90 degrees anticlockwise rotation around the dorsoventral axis in the first experimental group.
(19) By restriction mapping Tn5 insertions in pKM101, which reduced pKM101-mediated alleviation of restriction, were shown to be located within the BglIIB fragment approximately 11 kb anticlockwise from the RI site of pKM101.
(20) When required to rotate through exactly twice 360 degrees clockwise (rightwards) or anticlockwise (leftwards) with reduced sensory input, dextrals, especially females, showed a rightwards bias and sinistrals a leftwards tendency.
Laevorotatory
Definition:
(a.) Same as Levorotatory. Cf. Dextrorotatory.
Example Sentences:
(1) Fatty acids esterifying these fatty alcohols in M. marinum and M. ulcerans were found to belong to the phthioceranic series (dextrorotatory fatty acids), in contrast to those of the other species (laevorotatory fatty acids called mycocerosic acids), both groups having the same chain length and methyl-branched positions.
(2) In the subsequent Dieckmann-Cyclisation cis-9a is transformed to the laevorotatory beta-ketoester (-)-10a, while the dextrorotatory enantiomer (+)-10a is obtained from trans-9a after C-3-epimerisation.
(3) The complex is laevorotatory at wavelengths longer than 300 nm.
(4) Levamisole (the laevorotatory isomer of tetramisole) is a new synthetic anthelmintic.
(5) Further investigations, conducted using the laevorotatory and dextrorotatory forms of pindolol indicate that this immune effect is not mediated by specific beta-adrenergic receptors.
(6) Similarly, the electrical stimulation-induced increase in diastolic pressure was also most effectively impaired by the laevorotatory enantiomer of lofexidine.
(7) The limit of detection of the method (to give an SNR = 2 at 246 nm) is 0.3 ng on-column for the first eluting, laevorotatory enantiomer and 2.3 ng for the dextrorotatory isomer.
