What's the difference between bident and bidet?

Bident


Definition:

  • (n.) An instrument or weapon with two prongs.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) P1,P2-Bidentate Cr(H2O)4PPS and Co(NH3)4PPS (prepared from PPS) were both found to be substrates for PPase.
  • (2) The beta, gamma-bidentate of chromium(III)ATP (Kd = 8 microM) had a higher than the alpha, beta, gamma-tridentate of chromium(III)ATP (Kd = 44 microM) or the cobalt tetramine complex of ATP (Kd = 500 microM).
  • (3) Hexadentate ligands would be preferable to bidentate compounds but no suitable compounds are available.
  • (4) PPase was unable to catalyze the hydrolysis of Mg(H2O)4PNP and P1,P2-bidentate Co(NH3)4PNP under conditions that resulted in rapid hydrolysis of the corresponding metal-PPi complexes.
  • (5) It is proposed that all of the anions behave as bidentate ligands, with coordination to the iron through both the carboxylate and proximal groups, and the carboxyl group serves as a bridge between the iron and a positively charged group on the protein.
  • (6) Paramagnetic effects of beta,gamma-bidentate Cr3+ATP on the longitudinal relaxation rates of protons of the peptide provided a set of distances to the side chains of five residues, which allowed the location of the bound Cr3+ atom to be uniquely defined.
  • (7) It is most likely that one C126 per subunit provides high-avidity bidentate ligation to Hg(II), but it remains possible that C82 may be a secondary Hg(II) ligand (e.g., in a tetracoordinate thiol ligation array).
  • (8) Mass spectrometry and 1H-NMR indicated that the (d,l-trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane)methionineplatinum(II) complexes that formed in RPMI-1640 medium consisted of approximately 60% of the bidentate mono-methionine complex coordinated to platinum at the sulfur and alpha-amino positions and 40% of the bis-methionine complex, presumably coordinated at the sulfurs.
  • (9) Spectroscopic and other evidence indicated that the sugar anions bind monodentately in trans-[PtL2(NH3)2].H2O and bidentately in cis-[PtL(NH3)2]L.H2O complexes through the carboxylate oxygen atoms and other sugar donor groups.
  • (10) The ability of beta, gamma-bidentate CrATP to act as a substrate (Danenberg and Cleland [1975].
  • (11) The chromium moiety of gamma,beta-bidentate CrATP slowly accepts a ligand from the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca-ATPase to form an exchange inert coordination complex (k + 1 = 0.083 min-1; k - 2 = 0.003 min-1, 37 degrees C, 100 microM CaCl2).
  • (12) Four independent beta-glycerophosphates commonly act as two types of bidentate ligands, where one is the coordination to the calcium ion by the glycerol O(1) and phosphate O(22) atoms, and the other by the phosphate O(22) and O(23) atoms, thus forming the calcium coordination of a distorted square plane, respectively.
  • (13) For this purpose, bidentate ligands as hydroxamate and N-hydroxy-N-formylamino groups were selected as highly potent metal coordinating agents and introduced on Phe-Gly and Phe-Ala related structures.
  • (14) In order to investigate the function of Asp-327, a bidentate ligand of one of the zinc atoms in Escherichia coli alkaline phosphatase, and the importance of this zinc atom in catalysis, site-specific mutagenesis was used to convert Asp-327 to either asparagine or alanine.
  • (15) Bidentate or tridentate ligands on the other hand are able to attack the zinc ion directly; the rates are first order in enzyme and first order in ligand.
  • (16) All members of the new family contain a 1,3-dioxane or 1,3-dioxolane-1,3-diamine as their basic ligand, a moiety which contributes to their increased water solubility, and a bidentate acid ligand, which is responsible for their good stability.
  • (17) We sought evidence to determine whether contractions of the smooth muscle of the guinea pig vas deferens to ATP are in response to ATP4- or its bidentate complexes.
  • (18) It has been hypothesized that bidentate hydrogen bonding plays an important role in the interaction of imidazolylphenylformamidines with the H2-receptor.
  • (19) Deprotonated sulphonylurea act as bidentate ligands using one nitrogen and one oxygen atom (the ureido oxygen) to bind Zn2+ forming K[Zn(suphonylurea)3].
  • (20) An overall mechanism for inhibition by single and bidentate ligands is proposed.

Bidet


Definition:

  • (n.) A small horse formerly allowed to each trooper or dragoon for carrying his baggage.
  • (n.) A kind of bath tub for sitting baths; a sitz bath.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) And celebrating its 100th birthday yesterday, the Paris underground - for many foreigners as much a part of the French experience as baguettes, bidets and Bordeaux wine - could make a fair claim to being the world's most loved, most efficient and least expensive city transport system.
