What's the difference between elongated and fiber?

Elongated

  • (12) From the different shapes of the scattering curves of the native phosphofructokinase at pH 7.5 in the presence of 15 mM ATP and of the cross-linked tetramer or octamer, it can be inferred that the shapes of the protomers are different: in the presence of ATP the protomers are elongated, having an axial ratio of 1.8 to 2.0; the cross-linked state reveals a spherical protomer of radius 33.0 A, similar to that of the native enzyme at pH 7.5 in the presence of fructose 6-phosphate or fructose 1,6-bisphosphate.
  • (13) Whereas elongation of cDNA100 increased with time of incubation at the optimal detergent concentration, this process was retarded at higher detergent concentrations.
  • (14) This, along with evidence that kinesin is associated with the endoplasmic reticulum, has led to the suggestion that kinesin provides the motive force for the formation and maintenance of elongated tubulovesicular structures in cells.
  • (15) The results may point to an inhibition of replicon initiation, and a larger DNA chain elongation in UV-sensitive clones after UV irradiation.
  • (16) The cells elongate, keeping their original polarity, and acquire numerous filopodia which contain punctate junctions at sites of cell-to-cell contact.
  • (17) The remaining nonswarming mutants produced flagella but were defective in surface-induced elongation.
  • (18) The "hexagonal ribbon" model proposes that hexagonal profiles are true cross-sections of elongated hexagonal ribbons.
  • (19) The results raise important questions as to the actual mechanism of transcription elongation, and suggest that it is a much more complex process than previously assumed.
  • (20) It has been possible to separate this dissipation from that associated with elongation factor Tu function.

Fiber


Definition:

  • (n.) Alt. of Fibre

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Comparison of the S100 alpha-binding protein profiles in fast- and slow-twitch fibers of various species revealed few, if any, species- or fiber type-specific S100 binding proteins.
  • (2) The final number of fibers--140,000-165,000--is reached by the sixth week after birth.
  • (3) In the caudal spinal trigeminal nucleus (Vc), the collaterals of one half of the periodontium afferent fibers terminated mainly in lamina V at the rostral and middle levels of Vc.
  • (4) This study examined both the effect of variations in optical fiber tip and in light wavelength on laser-induced hyperthermia in rat brain.
  • (5) Both histochemical methods revealed the presence of intra-insular fiber plexuses.
  • (6) The present study was done in order to document the ability of the eighth cranial nerve of the bullfrog (Rana catesbeiana) to regenerate, the anatomic characteristics of the regenerated fibers, and the specificity of projections from individual endorgan branches of the nerve.
  • (7) "Acoustic" craters were produced by two laser pulses delivered into a saline-filled metal fiber cap, which was placed in a mechanically drilled crater.
  • (8) The minimal change in gel fiber size caused by slow A release implies that fibrin fiber size is primarily a function of ionic environment and not of the sequence of peptide release.
  • (9) Stimulation of parallel fibers or iontophoresis of acetylcholine excited P cells.
  • (10) There was no significant correlation between mitochondrial volume and number of SO fibers following endurance exercise training.
  • (11) The perforant pathway and fimbria fornix were transected to label afferent fibers to NPY-positive cells.
  • (12) The primary afferent fibers diverge in the brainstem into a short ascending and a long descending tract.
  • (13) Electron microscopic immunohistochemistry revealed histamine-immunostaining in granules in a small number of nerve fibers and varicosities.
  • (14) In vitro studies in cardiac Purkinje fibers suggested that reversal of amitriptyline-induced cardiac membrane effects by sodium bicarbonate may be attributed not only to alkalinization but also to increased in extracellular sodium concentration, diminishing the local anesthetic action of amitriptyline and resulting in less sodium channel block.
  • (15) CW Nd:YAG light transmitted by fiber optic cable and sapphire crystal was applied transsclerally to the ciliary body of pigmented and albino rabbits.
