What's the difference between globiferous and globular?
Globiferous
Definition:
(a.) Having a round or globular tip.
Example Sentences:
(1) After a globiferous pedicellaria is lost from a sea urchin, a new appendage of the same kind is usually regenerated in the weeks that follow.
(2) The form of the globiferous pedicellariae from Psammechinus miliaris is described.
(3) The globiferous pedicellariae of Psammechinus miliaris are described.
Globular
Definition:
(a.) Globe-shaped; having the form of a ball or sphere; spherical, or nearly so; as, globular atoms.
Example Sentences:
(1) Electron microscopy revealed the presence of a hitherto unreported peculiar "pilovacuolar" inclusion in numerous mitochondria, composed of an electron dense pile or rod within a vacuole, while globular or crystalline inclusions were absent.
(2) Sedimentation-velocity experiments indicate the M. elsdenii enzyme (s20,w = 4.95 S) to be essentially globular, while the D. vulgaris enzyme (s20,w = 4.1 S) has a less symmetric shape.
(3) Both types of molecules are compact and globular in shape and apparently contain beta-pleated sheet conformation.
(4) The native mass of factor a was estimated to be 240-260 kDa by gel filtration, but its sedimentation rate in a glycerol gradient was similar to that of a much smaller globular protein, suggesting an extended conformation.
(5) In particular, nitration of Tyr-51 provoked a structural perturbation in the globular region.
(6) The globular cells appeared to receive numerous afferents with GABA- or glycine-like immunoreactivity on their somata.
(7) Although the globular bushy cell axons were not completely filled from the soma of origin to terminal fields in the contralateral brainstem, a number of consistent anatomical features were distinguished in the population.
(8) Sera reactive with this protein identify a distinctive globular nuclear antigen.
(9) Cells with demarcated borders showed rearrangement of microvilli into globular chains or ridges which lined up with the branching membrane.
(10) It is suggested that the neoplastic cells produced the fibronectin, which accumulated in globular form.
(11) 88, 543--555] have shown that these derivatives act as partial agonists at the platelet ADP receptor inducing only the transition from discoid to globular morphology ('shape change').
(12) Thereafter, 27S species adsorbed avidly to it and collapsed into characteristic configurations containing four globular domains, each linked to the others by three approximately 33-nm struts.
(13) Extensive surgical resections of neocortical cerebral tissue (including hemispherectomies) from 13 infants and children with infantile spasms showed that 12 of 13 specimens contained either malformative and dysplastic lesions of the cortex and white matter (sometimes with associated hamartomatous proliferation of globular cells), or destructive lesions possibly acquired as a result of anoxic-ischemic injury, or a combination of the two.
(14) In this more nearly globular shape, CAM reveals to the environment two interior pockets that contain a number of hydrophobic residues, in agreement with NMR data suggesting involvement of such residues in the binding of inhibitors and proteins to CAM.
(15) The abdomen was tender with guarding and a palpable globular mass in the same region.
(16) Examination of the SnF2-treated dentin surfaces showed a dense layer of globular particles and in addition some larger particles.
(17) They are calibrated or tested against a large body of experimental data, including extended basis set ab initio, quantum mechanical calculations, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic data and dipole moment data for di- and oligopeptides, characteristic ratio data for random coil homopolypeptides, extensive data from peptide solubility studies, and experimental structures of polyalanine fibres and globular proteins.
(18) We have found that mycoplasma virus L172 is an enveloped globular virion containing circular, single-stranded DNA of 14.0 kilobases.
(19) Overlapping cDNA clones that span the entire length of the corresponding 7.2-kb mRNA reveal an encoded polypeptide of 236,278 D that is predicted to contain two globular domains separated by a discontinuous alpha-helix with characteristics for adopting a coiled-coil structure.
(20) The shape of the protein is approximately globular (S20.w = 4.18 S).
