What's the difference between hydropathy and therapeutic?
Hydropathy
Definition:
(n.) The water cure; a mode of treating diseases by the copious and frequent use of pure water, both internally and externally.
Example Sentences:
(1) The hydropathy profiles of the compared proteases were also strikingly similar.
(2) Circular dichroic studies and hydropathy profiling of the amino-acid sequence of this 'lac' permease suggest a secondary structure in which the polypeptide consists of 12 hydrophobic segments in alpha-helical conformation that traverse the membrane in zig-zag fashion connected by shorter, hydrophilic domains with most of the charged residues and many of the residues commonly found in beta-turns.
(3) Hydropathy analysis indicated that this N-terminal region contained the only extensive hydrophobic domain and thus constituted the only obvious potential membrane attachment site.
(4) For this purpose a hydropathy scale was developed and is presented here.
(5) The hydropathy profile of the CAM-toxin is almost identical to peptide c and myotoxin I, as can be assumed from the sequence homology.
(6) The hydropathy profile of the predicted peptide suggests a hydrophobic, globular, membrane-associated protein with two potential transmembrane helices.
(7) (3) The average interface manifests significant hydropathy complementarity, signifying that proteins interact by placing hydrophobic centers of one surface against hydrophobic centers of the other surface, and by similarly matching hydrophilic centers.
(8) The mean hydropathy of the amino acid composition of spiralin (-0.30) is on the hydrophilic side of the scale.
(9) We suggest a useful way to present this distribution by using a "hydropathy level diagram."
(10) This type of transport defect suggests that this is a weakly hydrophobic signal peptide, consistent with hydropathy scales, which indicate that tryptophan is comparable to alanine.
(11) Nevertheless, several regions of the alpha-amylases appeared to be clearly distinct from one another when their hydropathy profiles were compared.
(12) Based on the hydropathy profile it seems to have the same transmembrane organization as the Na,K-ATPase beta-subunit, with a single membrane-spanning domain near the amino terminus.
(13) Comparison of hydropathy profiles indicates the conservation of conformation of the common domains in these three families of proteins.
(14) The C-terminal hydrophobic regions of the three proteins exhibit a high degree of amino acid identity (64-69%) and have very similar hydropathy profiles, suggesting that they have the same transmembrane organization.
(15) This region is likely to protrude from the surface of the protein as judged by high hydrophilicity and low hydropathy predicted from the amino acid sequence and lack of secondary structure by contrast with the rest of the protein for which predominantly beta-sheet structure is predicted.
(16) The predicted secondary structure of the proteins from hydropathy plots is consistent with each containing a single membrane-spanning domain of at least 20 amino acids.
(17) Several distinctive features of sulfation sites are identified, including: abundance of acidic amino acid residues, lack of basic residues, low hydropathy, absence of neighboring cysteine residues, lack of extended secondary structure.
(18) The additional tripeptide units made hydropathy plots of the N-terminal and C-terminal regions of type III collagen distinctly different from those of type I collagen.
(19) The hydropathy profiles of the deduced amino acid sequences suggest that all five of the gene products of the cyo operon contain multiple membrane-spanning helical segments.
(20) Analyses for hydropathy, amphilicity, helix wheel, and dot matrix comparison are plotted as graphs on the screen and can be printed immediately or transferred to a picture accepting program.
Therapeutic
Definition:
(a.) Alt. of Therapeutical
(n.) One of the Therapeutae.
Example Sentences:
(1) Treatment termination due to lack of efficacy or combined insufficient therapeutic response and toxicity proved to be influenced by the initial disease activity and by the rank order of prescription.
(2) After a discussion of the therapeutic relationship, several coping strategies which have been used successfully by many women are described and therapeutic applications are offered.
(3) Training in social skills specific to fostering intimacy is suggested as a therapeutic step, and modifications to the social support measure for future use discussed.
(4) Therapeutic possibilities for hepatogenous anaemia of complex genesis are discussed.
(5) No difference in therapeutic activity between CNC-ala-17-E2 and CNC-ala could be observed in a transplanted rat leukemia (L 5222).
(6) Different therapeutic success rates have been reported by various authors who used the same combination of therapy.
(7) SD is shown to have therapeutic and differential diagnostic significance in varying pathological conditions of cerebral dopaminergic systems.
(8) The clinical aspects, the modality of onset and diffusion of the lymphoma, its macroscopic and histopathological features and the different therapeutic approaches are discussed.
(9) Current status of prognosis in clinical, experimental and prophylactic medicine is delineated with formulation of the purposes and feasibility of therapeutic and preventive realization of the disease onset and run prediction.
(10) The following case highlights the diagnostic and therapeutic dilemmas encountered in a middle-aged patient who presented with dementia and apathetic hyperthyroidism.
(11) Local injections of contrykal into the ulcer had inhibited proteinase activity and had a positive therapeutic effect.
(12) These data, compared with literature findings, support the idea that intratumoral BCG instillation of bladder cancer permits a longer disease-free period than other therapeutical approaches.
(13) We report on experiences with diagnostic and therapeutic procedures and the results of vocational rehabilitation.
(14) On the other hand, the patients treated with cimetidine showed a marked, systematic increase in theophylline plasma levels, even exceeding the upper limit of its known therapeutic range in 4 cases.
(15) As novel antibody therapeutics are developed for different malignancies and require evaluation with cells previously uncharacterized as antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) targets, efficient description of key parameters of the assay system expedites the preclinical assessment.
(16) Pharmacodynamic relationships are not well established for other therapeutic effects of theophylline, such as attenuation of pharmacologically induced bronchoconstriction.
(17) Intoxications arising from therapeutic activities pertaining to this cult are of the same kind as those encountered in the practice of Modern Medicine.
(18) The combination of an over-distended uterus caused by a multiple-fetus pregnancy with therapeutic bed-rest may cause mechanical ileus.
(19) Finally, these cases support the existence of a therapeutic upper limit for desipramine plasma concentrations, above which clinical deterioration occurs.
(20) How useful is the technique for evaluating therapeutic efficacy?
