(n.) A red coloring matter derived from phenol; -- called also, in commerce, yellow corallin.
Example Sentences:
(1) Addition of specific inhibitors of chain initiation (polyinosinic acid and aurin tricarboxylic acid) to the postmitochrondrial supernatant system from DMN-treated rats caused only a slight additional inhibition, indicating that DMN predominantly affects translation by a block of initiation.
(2) Aurin tricarboxylic acid, which blocks the GPIb recognition site on the vWF monomer, and 6D1, a monoclonal antibody to GPIb, also completely inhibited platelet responses to shear stress.
(3) The antibiotic aurin tricarboxylic acid (ATA) at low concentrations induces both RNA and protein synthetic activities of the mitochondrial lysate by several fold.
(4) Using this method, a time-dependent induction of apoptosis by dexamethasone, which was inhibited by cycloheximide, actinomycin D, and aurin tricarboxylate, was observed.
(5) Aurin tricarboxylic acid (ATA) is known to inhibit ristocetin-induced platelet agglutination but not arachidonic acid-, epinephrine- or ADP-induced aggregation.
(6) Binding is not inhibited by Aurin, a dye related to ATA but lacking its anti-HIV effects.
(7) Comparison of commercially available and chemically synthesized analogues of aurintricarboxylic acid indicates that the unique aurin triphenyl methane ring system and the carboxylic acid groups are both necessary for inhibition of cell-free protein synthesis in both systems.
(8) Studies using a number of membrane-active drugs showed that changes in membrane potential or ion fluxes were not involved in the inhibition of binding of rgp120 by Evans blue or aurin tricarboxylic acid.
(9) Progesterone, a glucocorticoid antagonist, and aurin tricarboxylic acid, an inhibitor of protein receptors, protect thymocytes from the effect of glucocorticoids and ionizing radiation.
(10) In the fourth experiment heparin enhanced platelet aggregation to a similar extent (p less than 0.005), regardless of pretreatment of the blood with saline, aurin or monoclonal antibody 6D1 (MAb 6D1), the latter an antagonist at the GP Ib receptor.
(11) Partially purified factor (i) fully maintains the polysomes; (ii) inhibits the association of 40S and 60S ribosomal subunits into single ribosomes; (iii) promotes the quantitative entry of added 60S subunits into polysomes; (iv) allows the accumulation of ribosomal subunits, instead of single ribosomes, when initiation is blocked with aurin tricarboxylate; and (v) is absolutely required for the binding of globin messenger RNA to ribosomes.These properties suggest that this mammalian initiation factor functions analogously to bacterial IF-3.
(12) Aurin tricarboxylic acid (ATA) is a potent inhibitor of ristocetin-mediated platelet agglutination and of shear-induced, von Willebrand factor (vWf)-mediated platelet aggregation, probably via inhibition of vWf interaction with glycoprotein Ib (GPIb).
(13) In addition, aurin tricarboxylic acid, an inhibitor of protein synthesis, reverses this effect by disrupting the S1-RNA complex.
(14) Endo-exonuclease of nucleoplasm, chromatin, and nuclear matrix showed 80-100% cross-reaction with antisera raised to purified extranuclear endoexonuclease and was also strongly inhibited by 20 microM aurin tricarboxylic acid.
(15) Platelet aggregation mediated by vWF was not inhibited by a nonphenolic, polyanionic polymer (polyglutamic acid) or by a polyphenolic ATA-like polymer (aurin) devoid of carboxyl groups.
(16) Triammonium aurin tricarboxylate (aluminon) has been used to localize aluminum in 2 micron sections of undecalcified, methyl methacrylate embedded bone obtained from patients with terminal chronic renal failure.
(17) The triammonium salt of aurin tricarboxylic acid, commonly referred to as aluminon, forms a dye that has been used for the colorimetric determination of Al(III) species.
(18) In the third experiment aurin, an inhibitor of von Willebrand factor and its interaction with the platelet GPIb receptor, decreased platelet aggregation dose-dependently.
(19) Aurin tricarboxylic acid (ATCA) should not be used due to its high toxicity.
(20) Total protein synthesis requires both subcellular components and an exogenous energy source, and is inhibited by the antibiotics puromycin and aurin tricarboxylic acid.
Laurin
Definition:
(n.) A white crystalline substance extracted from the fruit of the bay (Laurus nobilis), and consisting of a complex mixture of glycerin ethers of several organic acids.
Example Sentences:
(1) In both the control subjects and the patients, the angle of Laurin et al.
(2) The methods of Insall and Salvati, Blackburne and Peel, Caton and Laurin of assessing the vertical position of the patella, were applied on 200 normal knees.
(3) Laurin's method was insufficient as it showed 50% of the patellas to be high riding.
(4) The amount of lateral patellar tilt was quantitatively assessed using the lateral patellofemoral angle, as described by Laurin et al., and the congruence angle, as described by Merchant et al.
