Example Sentences:

(5) Incubation of I diaphragms with isoproterenol did not significantly increase the concentrations of AMP, IMP or inorganic phosphate, activators of phosphorylase beta activity, nor was there a decrease in ATP and glucose 6-phosphate content, allosteric inhibitors of phosphorylase beta activity.
(6) In general, enzyme activity was strongly reduced by heavy metal inorganic cations; less strongly by organometallic cations, some anions, and certain pesticides; and weakly inhibited by light metal cations and organometallic and organic compounds.
(7) A calcium dependent potassium conductance was probably involved in the slow phase, because it was sensitive to inorganic calcium blockers.
(8) The hypothesis was tested that plaque, as a complex soil comprising microorganisms, cell debris, salivary deposits and other ill-defined organic and inorganic components, would be susceptible to removal by a rinse with high detersive action.
(9) Except for one control group, the other three groups were subdivided into six groups and administered three different kinds of germanium (inorganic germanium, organic germanium, and natural organic germanium) one month before and during dimethylhydrazine treatment, and during dimethylhydrazine treatment, respectively.
(10) It was revealed that the TTH level could change both in the direction of decrease and of elevation; the inorganic phase of the iodine metabolism was reduced and the organic one--elevated.
(11) Iron presented as inorganic ferric or ferrous salts may also be absorbed, though the more soluble ferrous salts are adsorbed much more rapidly.
(12) This paper indicates the tests available for measurement of inorganic lead uptake by the body.
(13) This decrease was associated with a release of lactate and inorganic phosphate during the repetitive periods of reperfusion.
(14) Inorganic mercury as HgSO4 or HgCl2, at dietary levels up to 200 p.p.m.
(15) In conclusion, these data suggest a steady-state kinetic mechanism for KDO8P synthase where P-pyruvate binding precedes that of Ara5P, followed by the ordered release of inorganic phosphate and KDO8P.
(16) A series of inorganic anions varied in their ability to release iron from Fe3+-transferrin-CO3(2-) at pH 5.5, the approximate pH of endosomes where iron release takes place within cells.
(17) Histological changes were similar in inorganic and methyl mercury treated fish except the higher intensity observed in the latter treatment.

(19) strain 4CB1, 4-chlorobenzoate did not accumulate but was converted to inorganic chloride.
(20) The sulfhydryl enzyme malate synthase was inactivated by X-irradiation in air-saturated aqueous solution, in the absence or presence of a variety of additives (thiols, antioxienzymes, typical radical scavengers, inorganic salts, buffer components, substrates, products, analogues).
Metathesis
Definition:
(n.) Transposition, as of the letters or syllables of a word; as, pistris for pristis; meagre for meager.
(n.) A mere change in place of a morbid substance, without removal from the body.
(n.) The act, process, or result of exchange, substitution, or replacement of atoms and radicals; thus, by metathesis an acid gives up all or part of its hydrogen, takes on an equivalent amount of a metal or base, and forms a salt.
Example Sentences:
(1) Mechanistic and synthetic studies in organometallic chemistry have provided considerable insight into olefin metathesis and Ziegler-Natta polymerization.
(2) It's called metathesis , and it's a very common, perfectly natural process.
(3) New homogeneous olefin metathesis catalysts based on high oxidation state transition metals have opened new opportunities in polymer synthesis by providing unprecedented control in ring-opening polymerization of cyclic alkenes.
(4) The sequential nature of substitution errors was further analyzed by tallying and classifying errors as anticipatory (prepositioning), reiterative (postpositioning), or metathesis.
