What's the difference between deactivate and inactivate?
Deactivate
Definition:
Example Sentences:

(2) The 'intermediate' (tau 1) and 'slow' (tau 2) components were seen by curve fitting M-current deactivation currents.
(3) The cytotoxicity was complement independent, as demonstrated by studies with heat-deactivated serum devoid of extrinsic complement.
(4) The testosterone-binding antibody that was produced using either the copolymer or FCA had considerable sensitivity to deactivation by mercaptoethanol.
(5) Exposure of neutrophils to AS resulted in deactivation to AS but not to Escherichial coli or Staphylococcus epidermis culture filtrate.
(6) The latencies to first opening and reopening, which reflect activation and deactivation, influenced the waveform most strikingly.
(7) Low pO2 appeared to slow down the activation time course of the K current but deactivation kinetics seemed to be unaltered.
(8) The intact molecule of CaM appears to be required to deactivate PFK, because neither half of the CaM molecule has an effect on PFK activity.
