(20) The phenylalanine-dependent conformation and the leucine-dependent conformation differ considerably.
Lemming
Definition:
(n.) Any one of several species of small arctic rodents of the genera Myodes and Cuniculus, resembling the meadow mice in form. They are found in both hemispheres.
Example Sentences:
