What's the difference between cringle and crinkle?

Cringle


Definition:

  • (n.) A withe for fastening a gate.
  • (n.) An iron or pope thimble or grommet worked into or attached to the edges and corners of a sail; -- usually in the plural. The cringles are used for making fast the bowline bridles, earings, etc.

Example Sentences:

  • (3) Walking her dogs in Cringle Park, Laurie Sage, 37, said she had been a longtime Labour voter in Gorton, but she said the party could no longer count on her support because of Corbyn’s “weak” stance on Brexit.

Crinkle


Definition:

  • (v. t.) To form with short turns, bends, or wrinkles; to mold into inequalities or sinuosities; to cause to wrinkle or curl.
  • (v. i.) To turn or wind; to run in and out in many short bends or turns; to curl; to run in waves; to wrinkle; also, to rustle, as stiff cloth when moved.
  • (n.) A winding or turn; wrinkle; sinuosity.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The genome organization is very similar to that of carnation mottle virus (CarMV) and turnip crinkle virus (TCV).
  • (2) The postulated amino acid sequence of CMeV capsid protein had 36% homology to turnip crinkle virus and 26% homology to carnation mottle virus in the arm and S domains, but western blots showed no serological relationship to either.
  • (3) Acceptable estimates of medial and intimal area could be obtained by simply delineating the boundaries of the intima and media and ignoring the crinkles in the elastic laminae.
  • (4) A stocky man with a round face and belly, and skinny legs revealed beneath his shorts, he answered to Dr T or, among friends, Johnny, and when he smiled, his eyes crinkled nearly shut.
  • (5) Genome-length cDNA clones of turnip crinkle virus (TCV) were constructed with SmaI and XbaI restriction sites engineered at the 5' and 3' termini, respectively.
  • (6) These results are consistent with the proposed assembly model for turnip crinkle virus.
  • (7) We have previously proposed the same mechanism for the formation of defective interfering RNAs, chimeric sat-RNAs, and sat-RNA recombinants in the turnip crinkle virus system (Cascone, Carpenter, Li, and Simon.
  • (8) Dissociation of turnip crinkle virus (TCV) at elevated pH and ionic strength produces free dimers of the coat protein and a ribonucleoprotein complex that contains the viral RNA, six coat-protein subunits, and the minor protein species, p80 (a covalently linked coat-protein dimer).
  • (9) Mutations at a site with homology to the catalytic strand of self-cleaving sequences in certain viroids and satellites appeared to confer virulence on sat D in that test plants showed severe crinkling and stunting normally associated with sat C. However, sat C appeared along with a restored form of sat D in the progeny RNAs of these severely infected plants.
  • (10) Inspection of the alignment showed good correspondence between the experimentally defined beta-strands and alpha-helices of the capsid proteins of tomato bushy stunt, southern bean mosaic and turnip crinkle viruses, allowing prediction of the secondary structure elements in proteins with unresolved tertiary structure.
  • (11) The turnip crinkle virus coat protein binding sites in the ribonucleoprotein complex resulting from virion dissociation have been identified previously.
