Seld
Definition:
(a.) Rare; uncommon; unusual.
(adv.) Rarely; seldom.
Example Sentences:
(1) The results support the speculation that the product of SELD is a phosphoselenoate with the phosphate moiety derived phosphoselenoate from the gamma-phosphate group of ATP.
(2) The biological activities of the wild type and mutant proteins were studied using E. coli MB08 (selD-) transformed with plasmids containing the selD genes.
(3) Purified SELD protein is a monomer of 37 kDa in its native state and catalyses a selenium-dependent ATP-cleavage reaction delivering AMP and releasing the beta-phosphate as orthophosphate.
