Fragment


Definition:

  • (v. t.) A part broken off; a small, detached portion; an imperfect part; as, a fragment of an ancient writing.

Example Sentences:

  • (5) Under milder trypsin digestion conditions three resistant fragments were produced from the free protein.
  • (6) Five of them had a fast-moving Eco RI fragment 5.6 kb long that hybridized with zeta-specific probe but not with alpha-specific probe.
  • (7) Comparative data for the fragments from RNAs 1, 2, and 3 show that they have nearly the same sequence as the RNA 4 fragment.
  • (8) A sperm whale myoglobin gene containing multiple unique restriction sites has been constructed in pUC 18 by sequential assembly of chemically synthesized oligonucleotide fragments.
  • (9) Urine specimens from patient REE also contained a light chain fragment that lacked the first (amino-terminal) 85 residues of the native light chain but otherwise was identical in sequence to the light chain REE.
