(4) Various dehydrogenation polymers (the so-called synthetic lignins) were synthesized from four different phenylpropenoids by endwise and bulk polymerizations and investigated for their anti-influenza virus activity.
(5) Our results suggest that the free Ca2+ concentration regulates the way S-100 disassembles microtubules (MTs): at microM Ca2+ levels, S-100 sequesters tubulin with concomitant increase in the disassembly rate; at mM Ca2+ levels, the S-100-Ca2+ complex probably interacts with MTs producing endwise disassembly.
(6) When polymers are induced to depolymerize by endwise subunit dissociation, the frequency of plugged microtubule ends increases transiently, suggesting that plugs temporarily stabilize microtubules.
(7) The model is based on Michaelis--Menten-type kinetics for concurrent random and endwise attack of the substrate involving end-product inhibitions and three types of enzymes: an endo-beta-1,4-glucanase, an exo-beta-1,4-glucanase, and beta-glucosidase.

Definition:
(n.) One who observes, or pays attention to, anything; especially, one engaged in, or trained to habits of, close and exact observation; as, an astronomical observer.
(n.) One who keeps any law, custom, regulation, rite, etc.; one who conforms to anything in practice.
(n.) One who fulfills or performs; as, an observer of his promises.
(n.) A sycophantic follower.
Example Sentences:
(1) The patterns observed were: clusters of granules related to the cell membrane; positive staining localized to portions of the cell membrane, and, less commonly, the whole cell circumference.
(2) However, this deficit was observed only when the sample-place preceded but not when it followed the interpolated visits (second experiment).

(5) However, when cross-linked to anti-CD4 or anti-CD8 antibodies a markedly enhanced proliferation of the corresponding subpopulation is observed.
(6) Using monoclonal antibodies directed against the plasma membrane of Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells, we demonstrated previously that a glycoprotein with an Mr = 23,000 (gp23) had a non-polarized cell surface distribution and was observed on both the apical and basolateral membranes (Ojakian, G. K., Romain, R. E., and Herz, R. E. (1987) Am.
