(12) Cyclic AMP stimulated phosphorylation by [gamma-32P]ATP of two proteins of apparent Mr = 20,000 and 7,000 that were concentrated in sarcoplasmic reticulum, but the stimulation was markedly dependent on the presence of added soluble cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase.

(19) Photoirradiation of F1 in the presence of the analog leads to inactivation depending linearly on the incorporation of label.
(20) [Ca2+]i exhibited a sigmoidal dependence on [Na+]o. Mg2+, a competitive inhibitor of Na2+-Ca2+ antiport in these cells, antagonized the increase in [Ca2+]i produced by lowering [Na+]o.
Subjunctive
Definition:
(a.) Subjoined or added to something before said or written.
(n.) The subjunctive mood; also, a verb in the subjunctive mood.
Example Sentences:
(1) A new component of anti-AChE myopathy was recognized: progressive swelling of chromatin in subjunctional muscle nuclei.
(2) The subjunctive is more common in American than British English, often in formal or poetic contexts – in the song If I Were a Rich Man, for example.
(3) At the stage in which subjunctional components, including soleplate nuclei, were severely damaged (day 7), the true nuclear inclusions were frequently associated with the disrupted nuclear envelope (fragmentation, vesiculation etc.)
(4) Question 41 assumes there is a “subjunctive” in English.
(5) 3 Don't get in a bad mood over the subjunctive The subjunctive is a verb form (technically, "mood") expressing hypothesis, typically to indicate that something is being demanded, proposed, imagined, or insisted: "he demanded that she resign", and so on.
(6) The results are consistent with the view that transmitter released from noradrenergic vasoconstrictor nerves acts primarily on subjunctional alpha-adrenoceptors.
(7) These changes were dose and time dependent and were restricted primarily to the subjunctional myofibrillar apparatus and membrane-bound organelles.
(8) Asymmetric synaptic contacts onto cell bodies and dendrites were often defined by the presence of subjunctional dense bodies associated with the postsynaptic membrane.
