What's the difference between fad and fap?

Fad


Definition:

  • (n.) A hobby ; freak; whim.

Example Sentences:

  • (3) RR spectra of fatty acyl-CoA and its complexes are consistent with the previous hypothesis that visible spectral shifts observed during formation of acetoacetyl-CoA and crotonyl-CoA complexes of fatty acyl-CoA dehydrogenase result from charge-transfer interactions in which the ground state is essentially nonbonding as opposed to interactions in which complete electron transfer occurs to form FAD semiquinone.

  • (11) The half-life of the solubilized oxidoreductase stored at 2-4 degrees C in the presence of 25% glycerol at pH 8.6 is approximately 30 h. The oxidoreductase contains a flavoprotein identifiable by its fluorescence spectrum for FAD which binds weakly to concanavalin A-Sepharose and elutes from gel sieving columns at a molecular weight range of approximately 51,000.
  • (12) Lifetime risk of dementia in early-onset FAD kindreds is consistent with an autosomal dominant inheritance model.
  • (13) Thus, ETF appears to contain one flavin (at least 90% FAD, by chromatographic and fluorescence characteristics) per 26,000 M-r, and therefore may be composed of two subunits with one flavin each.
  • (14) Microcoulometric titrations of NADH:nitrate reductase at 25 degrees C in Mops buffer, pH 7.0, showed that the native enzyme, containing functional FAD, haem and Mo, required addition of five electrons for complete reduction.
  • (15) An automated AutoAnalyzer method using 5:5'-dithiobis-2-nitrobenzoic acid is described for determining whole blood glutathione reductase (BGR) activity and for measuring in vitro activation of BGR with flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD).
  • (16) The kinetic course of the reaction of methanol and deutero-methanol with FAD-dependent alcohol oxidase was investigated under single-turnover conditions [kred approximately equal to 15000 min-1 (1H3COH) and approximately equal to 4300 min-1 (2H3COH)] and multiple-turnover conditions [TNmax approximately equal to 6000 min-1 (1H3COH) and approximately equal to 3100 min-1 (2H3COH)].
  • (17) It had been shown that thyroxine regulates the conversion of riboflavin to riboflavin mononucleotide and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) in laboratory animals.
  • (18) The value of P of the enzyme is dependent on its concentration, indicating that the degrees of dissociation of FAD in the monomer and dimer are different.
  • (19) We now provide evidence for a major early onset FAD locus on the long arm of chromosome 14 near the markers D14S43 and D14S53 (multipoint lod score z = 23.4) and suggest that the inheritance of FAD may be more complex than had initially been suspected.
  • (20) Thus, the low activity resulting from an inherited deficiency of FAD is decreased further.

Fap


Definition:

  • (a.) Fuddled.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) In contrast, TTR(Met30) was relatively enriched in cerebrospinal fluid samples from two FAP patients.
  • (2) Haplotype analysis revealed that the Val----Met mutation has recurred frequently in the population to generate the FAP families of independent origins.
  • (3) An informative Dutch pedigree showed that two other linked polymorphic DNA markers, Pi227 and YN5.48, closely flank the FAP locus, one on either side.
  • (4) Studies of the molecular genetics of colon cancer have identified acquired alterations in oncogenes such as the K-ras gene and in putative tumor suppressor genes such as the FAP gene on chromosome 5, the p53 gene on chromosome 17, and the DCC gene on chromosome 18, which appear to mediate important steps in the adenoma-dysplasia-carcinoma sequence.
  • (5) The tumors themselves were FAP protein negative, as were the nonpancreatic tumors and normal organs.
  • (6) These clinical features closely resembled familial amyloid polyneuropathy (FAP), but abnormal serum prealbumin levels, specific to FAP (Japanese type), were not detected by radioimmunoassay; DNA sequence for prealbumin was normal.
  • (7) In FAP group (7 males and 5 females) the average age was 55 (range 30 to 74).
  • (8) Other probes, however, should be useful for assessing FAP inheritance by restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis, for presymptomatic diagnosis of the disease.
  • (9) Proteins with lower molecular weight than the PA monomer were major proteins in both SSA and FAP fibrils.
  • (10) Colchicine or Dimethyl-Sulphoxide (DMSO) treatment may prevent the development of FAP.
  • (11) Genomic DNA was isolated from peripheral blood lymphocytes of a patient with familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy (FAP) and the transthyretin (TTR) gene examined for sequence mutations.
  • (12) Patients with FAP develop multiple benign colorectal tumors.
  • (13) A recent study of FAP (5-FU, doxorubicin, cisplatin) has reported a 50% response rate with a significant number of CRs.
  • (14) Other dominantly-inherited colorectal cancer syndromes produce less striking phenotypes, but affect far more individuals than FAP.
