  • (12) We then used synthetic peptides spanning the active fragment to identify the primary sequence of the adhesive site as Leu-Arg-Glu (LRE): neurons attach to an immobilized LRE-containing peptide, and soluble LRE blocks attachment of neurons to the s-laminin fragment.
  • (13) For the 20 patients who received treatment in the latter period (1987-1990), we gave priority to conservative treatment for type T cases that were free from complications, and adopted a treatment method attaching greater importance to the resection of intimal tears.
  • (14) Its features are consistent with observed structural dimensions and the molecular periodicities related to transcription, replication and matrix attachment domains.
  • (15) The in vitro replication of adenovirus (Ad) DNA covalently attached to the 55-kDa terminal protein requires at least five proteins including the 80-kDa preterminal protein, the Ad DNA polymerase, the Ad DNA binding protein, nuclear factor I, and topoisomerase I.
  • (16) which suggest that ~60-90% of the cross-bridges attached in rigor are attached in relaxed fibers at an ionic strength of 20 mM and ~2-10% of this number of cross-bridges are attached in a relaxed fiber at an ionic strength of 170 mM.
  • (17) There was a greater chance for the regeneration of a connective tissue attachment in nongrafted intrabony defects than in grafted defects; new cellular cementum formed equally well on old cementum, dentin, or both old cementum and dentin in the same defect.
  • (18) When these sequences were fused to the N terminus of yeast cytochrome oxidase subunit IV lacking its own presequence, they directed the attached subunit IV to its correct intramitochondrial location in vivo.
  • (19) Characterization of the components released by alkaline hydrolysis indicated that O-glycosylated hydroxylysine residues are nonenzymatically N-glycated to the same extent as those without an enzymatically attached carbohydrate unit.
  • (20) A teaching package is described for teaching interview skills to large blocks of medical students whilst on their psychiatric attachment.

Tightly


Definition:

  • (adv.) In a tight manner; closely; nearly.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Freshly isolated sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles contain 0.05 mol of tightly bound ADP and 0.03 mol of tightly bound ATP per mol of Ca2+, Mg2+-ATPase (ATP phosphohydrolase, EC 3.6.1.3).
  • (2) The expression of the Pgp isoforms appears to be tightly regulated and, at least in some cells, under complex hormonal control.
  • (3) Whereas the tight junctions of endoneurial capillaries are known to prevent certain blood-borne substances from entering the endoneurium, it was not clear whether the permeability of the pulpal capillaries, which are distant from the nerve fibres, could affect the nerve fibre environment.
  • (4) The cells are predominantly monopolar, tightly packed, and are flattened at the outer border of the ring.
  • (5) These data indicate that topoisomerase I and RNA polymerase I are tightly complexed both in vivo and in vitro, and suggest a role for DNA topoisomerase I in the transcription of ribosomal genes.
  • (6) Immunofluorescence and immunoelectronmicroscopy experiments demonstrated that while tight junctions demarcate PAS-O distribution in confluent cultures, apical polarity could be established at low culture densities when cells could not form tight junctions with neighboring cells.
  • (7) Investigations have been made to determine the identity and binding characteristics of the pterins that are bound tightly to dihydrofolate reductases which are isolated from vertebrate sources by a well established procedure.
  • (8) At all times, a tight inverse correlation exists between ATP and IMP concentrations.
  • (9) Recently, a gene for ITD (DYT1) in a non-Jewish kindred was located on chromosome 9q32-34, with tight linkage to the gene encoding gelsolin (GSN).
