What's the difference between gulosity and voracity?
Gulosity
Definition:
(n.) Excessive appetite; greediness; voracity.
Example Sentences:
(1) Using a range of authentic standards and different thin-layer and gas chromatographic conditions, X could be recognized as 6-deoxy-3-C-methyl-gulose (virenose), very probably as the L form of this sugar (L-virenose).
(2) The aldohexose gulose was identified as a constituent of a hydroxyproline-rich glycopeptide derived from the glycoprotein SSG 185.
(3) Insulin release and synthesis were stimulated by glucose or mannose but not by allose, altrose, gulose, idose, galactose or talose.
(4) The secretion of the antigen into the media supernatant, the presence of gulose and the observed molecular weight are consistent with properties of alginate secreted by Gram-negative bacteria.
(5) Oxidation of 7 with 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid gave the corresponding S-epimeric sulfoxides, which underwent Pummerer rearrangement to 1-epimeric L-gulose S-phenyl monothiohemiacetal hexaacetates.
(6) Finally, a proposal is made to explain this discrepancy, focusing on the probable role of the gulose-mannose moiety acting as a protecting pocket, comparable with the pocket and picket-fence porphyrins described for haemoproteins.
(7) The polysaccharide immunodominant epitope gives rise to gulose when derivatives are formed.
(8) Methylation analysis of the main CB2A EPS showed the presence of terminal glucose and gulose groups, 3-linked fucosyl, and two 3,4-linked glucosyl units, thus confirming the pentasaccharide repeating unit indicated by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance analysis.
(9) Monosaccharide analysis showed that the main CB2A EPS contained D-glucose, D-gulose, and D-fucose in a ratio of 3:1:1, whereas the CB15A EPS fraction contained D-galactose, D-glucose, D-mannose, and D-fucose in approximately equal amounts.
(10) The characterization of the three 2-keto-sugar acids has been carried out on the corresponding methyl ester methyl glycosides using GLC-MS and 500-MHz 1H-NMR spectroscopy, and on the corresponding reduced alditol acetates using GLC-MS. Other monosaccharides occurring in the cell wall are D-galacturonic acid (14%), D-galactose (4%), D-gulose (2%), D-glucose (1%) and L-arabinose (1%).
(11) The immunodominant sugars in LPS I are C-3-branched sugars, 6-deoxy-3-C-methyl-L-gulose (L-virenose) and 3-C-(hydroxymethyl)-L-lyxose (dihydro-hydroxy-L-streptose).
(12) 3-Deoxy-d-galactose, 3,6-dideoxy-d-glucose and d-gulose, which have two alterations from the d-glucose structure, were not, or only very weakly, transported.
(13) Boron trifluoride-catalyzed reaction of the latter with thiophenol gave the analogous diphenyl dithioacetal, whereas base-catalyzed methanolysis led to free L-gulose.
(14) Treatment of 7 with N-chlorosuccinimide afforded 1-epimeric 1-chloro-1-S-phenyl-1-thio-L-gulitol pentaacetates, which were hydrolyzed to provide aldehydo-L-gulose pentaacetate.
(15) D-glycero-L-galacto-Octulose and L-glycero-L-galacto-octulose accumulated when leaves of Kenland red clover (Trifolium pratense) were allowed to imbibe solution of D-gulose or D-xylose and L-mannose or L-arabinose, respectively.
(16) Molybdate epimerization of 6 and 7 yields D-(6-13C)mannose and L-(6-13C)gulose, respectively.
(17) The gulose residue occupies a terminal position in the corresponding saccharide.
Voracity
Definition:
(n.) The quality of being voracious; voraciousness.
Example Sentences:
(1) Oiticica warned in 1968 of a "bourgeois voracity" that would commodify the culture he wanted to assert: "Those who made [pop art] 'stars and stripes' are now making their parrots and banana trees, or are interested in slums, samba schools, outlaw anti-heroes."
