(n.) Something suitable to be eaten; -- commonly in the plural.
Example Sentences:

(2) Significant inhibition of both ComEst and MonEst was exerted by 1% sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) and 1.0 mM diethyl pyrocarbonate (DEPC), but the patterns of inhibition for the two esterase species with the remaining compounds studied differed considerably; for example, 0.2 mM phenylmethylsulphonyl fluoride (PMSF), 5.0 x 10(-3) M dichloroisocoumarin (DCIC) and 0.1 mM N-tosyl-L-phenylalanine chloromethyl ketone (TPCK) all inhibited MonEst but not ComEst.
(3) Analysis of inhibition kinetics further showed that (a) the reversible inhibition of both ComEst and MonEst by sodium fluoride (NaF) was noncompetitive (with Ki values of 1.28 and 0.01 mM, respectively, indicating a marked difference in sensitivity); (b) the inhibition of MonEst by PMSF was of 'mixed' noncompetitive-competitive type; and (c) that DEPC exerted noncompetitive inhibition with similar Ki values (0.05 mM) for both esterase species.
(4) These observations unequivocably demonstrate that ComEst and MonEst are unrelated enzyme species, with a common ability to hydrolyse alpha NA, and that these esterase show marked differences with respect to their active sites as adjudged by inhibitor sensitivities.
(5) Capillary gas chromatography-thermal energy analysis was used for the study of volatile N-nitrosamines in comestibles.
(6) Mechanisms of inhibition were also examined and these studies established that SDS, PMSF, DCIC and TPCK irreversibly inactivated MonEst whilst the inhibition of ComEst by SDS was reversible.
(7) Comestibles with low mineral and phytate contents reduced lead uptake by intermediate amounts, possibly by stimulation of digestive secretions.
(8) The first of these (MonEst) is specifically associated with haemopoietic cells of monocytic lineage, whereas the other species (ComEst) is common to all myeloid cells (granulocytes and monocytes) irrespective of lineage affiliation.
Mobile
Definition:
(a.) Capable of being moved; not fixed in place or condition; movable.
(a.) Characterized by an extreme degree of fluidity; moving or flowing with great freedom; as, benzine and mercury are mobile liquids; -- opposed to viscous, viscoidal, or oily.
(a.) Easily moved in feeling, purpose, or direction; excitable; changeable; fickle.
(a.) Changing in appearance and expression under the influence of the mind; as, mobile features.
(a.) Capable of being moved, aroused, or excited; capable of spontaneous movement.
(a.) The mob; the populace.
Example Sentences:
(1) It was found that linear extrapolations of log k' versus ET(30) plots to the polarity of unmodified aqueous mobile phase gave a more reliable value of log k'w than linear regressions of log k' versus volume percent.
(2) The mobility on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis is anomalous since the undenatured, cross-linked proteins have the same Stokes radius as the native, uncross-linked alpha beta gamma heterotrimer.
(3) It is likely that trunk mobility is necessary to maintain integrity of SI joint and that absence of such mobility compromises SI joint structure in many paraplegics.
(4) Their particular electrophoretic mobility was retained.
(5) This mobilization procedure allowed transfer and expression of pJT1 Ag+ resistance in E. coli C600.
(6) A substance with a chromatographic mobility of Rf = 0.8 on TLC plates having an intact phosphorylcholine head group was also formed but has not yet been identified.
(7) The following model is suggested: exogenous ATP interacts with a membrane receptor in the presence of Ca2+, a cascade of events occurs which mobilizes intracellular calcium, thereby increasing the cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration which consequently opens the calcium-activated K+ channels, which then leads to a change in membrane potential.
(8) Sequence specific binding of protein extracts from 13 different yeast species to three oligonucleotide probes and two points mutants derived from Saccharomyces cerevisiae DNA binding proteins were tested using mobility shift assays.
(9) The molecule may already in its native form have an extended conformation containing either free sulfhydryl groups or small S-S loops not affecting mobility in SDS-PAGE.
(10) Furthermore, carcinoembryonic antigen from the carcinoma tissue was found to have the same electrophoretical mobility as the UEA-I binding glycoproteins.
(11) There was immediate resolution of paresthesia following mobilization of the impinging vessel from the nerve.
(12) The last stems from trends such as declining birth rate, an increasingly mobile society, diminished importance of the nuclear family, and the diminishing attractiveness of professions involved with providing maintenance care.
(13) In order to obtain the most suitable mobile phase, we studied the influence of pH and acetonitrile content on the capacity factor (k').
(14) Here is the reality of social mobility in modern Britain.
(15) This includes cutting corporation tax to 20%, the lowest in the G20, and improving our visa arrangements with a new mobile visa service up and running in Beijing and Shanghai and a new 24-hour visa service on offer from next summer.
