  • (n.) That part of a prescription which contains the Latin word recipe (Take) or the sign /.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Because of the different cathodal mobilities of PGM1-gene products, the allelic superscripts for PGM1 were designated as 1F, 1S, and 2F, 2S, respectively.
  • (2) From an experimental study on the linkage between dimer-tetramer association and oxygen binding in human hemoglobin it is found that triliganded tetramers alpha(2)beta(2)(O(2))(3) have an affinity for oxygen that is significantly higher than that of alpha(1)beta(1) dimers (superscripts denote intersubunit contacts).
  • (3) (The superscript numbers refer to the positions of residues in native somatostatin).
  • (4) By assuming that these effects arise from the aggregation induced by PEG, the relative tendency of the four enzyme forms, defined by the four limiting states of ligation, to aggregate is inferred to be Kad less than Kaxd less than or equal to Kxd much less than Kd, where Kd equals the dissociation constant for the most aggregated form of PFK dissociating to form n tetramers, and the superscripts a, x, and ax refer to the existence of bound Fru-6-P, MgATP, or both Fru-6-P and MgATP, respectively.
  • (5) [D-Ala(2)(2R,3S)-delta(E)Phe(4)Leu(5)]enkephalin (CP-OH) [delta denoting cyclopropyl; superscript E indicating the E-configuration about the cyclopropane ring], a highly selective opioid ligand for delta receptors in rat brain, but not for those in the mouse vas deferens, was examined for in vivo biological activities by intracerebroventricular administration.
  • (6) Our studies of cyclic somatostatin analogs are based on the highly active Merck analog c(-Pro6-Phe7-D-Trp8-Lys9-Thr10-Phe11-) (where the superscripts denote position in native somatostatin).
  • (7) The superscript numbers refer to positions in native somatostatin.
  • (8) Square brackets indicate that the peptide is an analogue; substituted amino acids are identified by the three-letter code; superscripted numbers indicating the residue at which the substitution, removal or addition occurs.
  • (9) Differences (P less than 0.01) were observed in peak Ca2+i levels 18 sec after pulse with mean percent change in fluorescence of 5.1%a, 33.9%b, 112.7%c, 1.2%a, 9.3%a, and 99.9%c for T1-T6, respectively (values with different superscripts are significantly different at P less than 0.01).
  • (10) First-strand cDNA was synthesized using random hexanucleotide DNA primers and M-MuLV reverse transcriptase (Superscript RT).
