Example Sentences:
(1) An acid extract of the green enzyme reconverts the yellow into the green form.

(3) Elastic osteosynthesis is capable of producing the biomechanical conditions required to reconvert mature fibro-cartilaginous tissue interposed in the non-union in bone tissue.
(4) When the Tn1-containing SalI fragment 5 was reconverted, by homologous recombination, to the original SalI fragment 5 (9.6 kb), serum resistance was recovered to the same level as that of a parent strain 52401.
(5) We investigated the incidence of areas of residual and reconverted hematopoietic marrow in the distal femur in a series of 50 adult patients using conventional spin-echo and opposed-phase gradient-echo MR images.
(6) Concatemers formed at 30 degrees were reconverted to mature DNA by packaging in vitro.
(7) The products of the CuAO-catalysed reactions cannot be reconverted into polyamines (terminal catabolism) and therefore usually escape observation.
(8) The oxidation of NO reconverts it to a nitrosating agent which may react again with the remaining ASC.
(9) The second phase acting on the target employs interferon and arginine butyrate since they reconvert a number of transformed target cells to normal phenotype.
(10) Twenty-three beagle dogs were ventilated with perfluorinated liquid, perfluoro-1-isopropoxy-hexane (Caroxin-F) for 1 h and were reconverted to gaseous breathing.
(11) Blue illumination converts BR and BS into the excited states BR* and BS*, which either relax by photon emission to BR or BS, or convert into an intermediate Y, which after deprotonation reconverts into the primary pigment AR or AS.
(12) This cycle converts AMP into IMP and reconverts IMP into AMP via adenylosuccinate, thereby producing NH3 and forming fumarate from aspartate.
(13) Clofibrate alone did not affect the disposition of tritiated vitamin K. Warfarin alone produced an accumulation in plasma of substantial amounts of vitamin K epoxide, a metabolite of vitamin K which is reconverted to vitamin K by a specific reductase.
(14) Reconverted red marrow appears to be related to increased erythrocyte demand.
(15) The pink adduct can be reconverted to an isoalloxazine chromophore by reduction with borohydride and subsequent reoxidation with oxygen.
(16) This species, which we name iso-halorhodopsin, is stable in the dark at room temperature for at least a day, but can be quantitatively reconverted into a mixture of all-trans and 13-cis halorhodopsin by blue-light illumination.
(17) The vitamin K epoxide data suggest that, in the absence of drugs, a relatively small proportion of the epoxide is reconverted to the vitamin.
(18) Flavocyanines can be reconverted to starting flavin by base.
(19) Despite the inconclusive results with the isolated chromophore, the observations on the enzyme suggest that it may contain a pyridoxal derivative bound as a Schiff's base which is converted into the pyridoxamine form on aerobic treatment with methylamine and reconverted into the pyridoxal form with phenazine methosulphate.
(20) The slow-dissociating component obtained after charcoal treatment was reconverted to fast-dissociating state by adding dithiothreitol or by incubation with cytosol at 20 degrees C. The charcoal treatment did not change the sedimentation coefficient (approximately 9 S) and the Stokes radius (approximately 7 nm) of the [3H]E2-8-9 S ER, and the slow-dissociating form obtained did not bind to DNA-cellulose either in the presence or absence of molybdate ions.
