  • (19) Thirty-eight had CELLO and 41 had a histologically normal cardia.
  • (20) The enzyme differed from the major cellulases (EC 3.2.1.4) of pea in: (a) susceptibility to inhibition by cello-oligosaccharides, (b) polysaccharide substrate specificity, (c) inducibility by auxin, (d) requirement for salt in the extraction buffer and (e) activation by 2-mercaptoethanol.

Tailpiece


Definition:

  • (n.) A piece at the end; an appendage.
  • (n.) One of the timbers which tail into a header, in floor framing. See Illust. of Header.
  • (n.) An ornament placed at the bottom of a short page to fill up the space, or at the end of a book.
  • (n.) A piece of ebony or other material attached to the lower end of a violin or similar instrument, to which the strings are fastened.

Example Sentences:

  • (2) A Ser-rich tailpiece (residues 1918-1938) is apparently nonhelical.

  • (4) The other wing, and the plane's tailpiece, hang limp and useless.
  • (5) The anti-NF-L tailpiece antibody recognized only a limited number of sites along native NFs, but labeled reconstituted NF-L homopolymers uniformly and heavily.
  • (6) A centrally located highly alpha-helical domain of about 310 residues well-conserved in sequence principles and length is flanked by the highly variable sequences of the non-alpha-helical headpiece and tailpiece.
  • (7) The cell line is X63.653 transfected with the mu gene, whose tailpiece sequence was replaced with the transmembrane sequence of human EGF receptor to hold mu on the cell surface and whose CH1 sequence was removed to prevent mu from being retained in the endoplasmic reticulum.
  • (8) Our findings indicate that whereas anti-IFA recognizes the highly conserved rod domain, all the NF-specific antibodies, as well as Bodian's silver, react with the carboxy-terminal tailpiece of NF subunits.
