What's the difference between centuplicate and hundredfold?
Centuplicate
Definition:
(a.) To make a hundredfold; to repeat a hundred times.
Example Sentences:
(1) We conclude that the genome of noncycling and terminally differentiated erythrocytes maintains its potential for widespread replication and extensive reversal of gene function in excess of a hundred (centuplicate) cell cycles.
Hundredfold
Definition:
(n.) A hundred times as much or as many.
Example Sentences:
(1) At concentrations several hundredfold higher than the equivalents present in the minimum concentration of rat skin soluble collagen required for platelet aggregation, neither Hyl-Gal (at 29 muM) nor Hyl-Gal-Glc (at 18 muM) caused platelet aggregation or inhibited platelet aggregation by native collagen.
(2) These observations suggest a mucosal diffusion barrier, so the concentrations of the analogues were raised one hundredfold.
(3) The gingival fluid of the control subjects had a cAMP concentration of 2.4 X 10(-6) M, which was a hundredfold greater than that seen in serum, thus suggesting that the cAMP in the fluid resulted from active synthesis by the gingival cells and was not merely a transudate from the blood.
(4) There was no difference in mucosal iron uptake or absorption between rats undergoing a jugular infusion of ferritin and those infused with saline despite a hundredfold difference in circulating ferritin concentration.
(5) In the newly constructed strain, subunit B2 constituted approximately 25% of the soluble protein after heat induction, an overproduction of several hundredfold relative to the wild-type strain.
(6) The effect is illustrated by the marked (hundredfold) increase in biological activity of Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin A after fatty acylation.
(7) Purine nucleoside phosphorylase has been purified at least a hundredfold from 35S-labeled cultured human fibroblasts.
(8) The concentration of these cells in the spleen remains several hundredfold higher.
(9) The resulting A. brasilense recA mutant showed increased sensitivity to the DNA methylating agent methyl methanesulfonate and to ultraviolet light and had at least one hundredfold reduced recombinational activity compared to the parent strain.
(10) A significantly higher activity in the presence of Mn2+ as opposed to Mg2+ is due to a hundredfold higher affinity for the primer terminus.
(11) The permeability of cartilage to large molecules is extremely sensitive to variations in the glycosaminoglycan content: for a threefold increase in the latter there is a hundredfold decrease in the partition coefficient.
(12) Rat liver nuclei pure by enzymatic and electron microscope criteria contain protein kinase C (PKC) that can be activated several hundredfold within 3 min of addition of prolactin or phorbol 12-tetradecanoate 13-acetate.
(13) Ricin A-chain coupled to OX7 antibody was one hundredfold to one thousandfold less effective than OX7-saporin as an antitumor agent in vivo, although the two immunotoxins were equally cytotoxic to AKR-A cells in vitro.
(14) Even in the context of years of obscene crimes against its citizens, the news that South Sudan’s government is threatening to hike the cost of work permits for foreigners a hundredfold, from $100 to as much as $10,000, is horrifying.
(15) The HPAs delay decomposition of H2O2 up to several hundredfold.
(16) But how many more would there have been if we doubled the number of cameras, or increased them tenfold, a hundredfold?
(17) The uptake system was inducible by melibiose and a number of analogs at 30 degrees C. At higher temperatures the differential rate of synthesis decreases until becoming negligible at 42 degrees C. The uptake tends toward a steady state which corresponds to an accumulation several hundredfold over the sugar concentration in the medium.
(18) This cut will be felt a hundredfold by GPs, hospitals and treatment services down the line.
(19) Eluates from kidneys of patients with Goodpasture's syndrome fixed more frequently to homologous nonglomerular renal and extrarenal antigenic sites and to heterologous GBM than did non-Goodpasture eluates over a hundredfold range of antibody concentrations; both could be blocked by prior absorption with soluble GBM antigens.
(20) Similarly, the MICs of norfloxacin and ciprofloxacin (the most potent of the antibiotics tested in these assays) were several hundredfold lower than the MIC of nalidixic acid (the least potent of these antibiotics), but the inhibition of purified gyrase by these two quinolones was only 8- to 16-fold lower than that of nalidixic acid.
