What's the difference between isomeric and sorbin?
Isomeric
Definition:
(a.) Having the same percentage composition; -- said of two or more different substances which contain the same ingredients in the same proportions by weight, often used with with. Specif.: (a) Polymeric; i. e., having the same elements united in the same proportion by weight, but with different molecular weights; as, acetylene and benzine are isomeric (polymeric) with each other in this sense. See Polymeric. (b) Metameric; i. e., having the same elements united in the same proportions by weight, and with the same molecular weight, but which a different structure or arrangement of the ultimate parts; as, ethyl alcohol and methyl ether are isomeric (metameric) with each other in this sense. See Metameric.

(10) There were consistent isomeric preferences for the R(-) configuration of both DA analogs in stimulating adenylate cyclase (D-1 sites) and in competing for high affinity binding of 3H-spiroperidol (D-2 sites) and of 3H-ADTN (DA agonist binding sites) in striatal tissue, with lesser isomeric differences in the limbic tissue.
(11) Oligosaccharides 3 and 4 and oligosaccharides 5 and 6 were isolated as unresolved isomeric mixtures in fractions B3a and B4a, respectively.
(12) Subsequent fractionation of the original compound into its two isomeric forms resulted in the identification of the isomer primarily responsible for this convulsive activity.
(13) However, the 1500 K simulation produced higher energy structures, even after minimization; in addition, this highest temperature run had many cis-trans peptide isomerizations.

(16) Such a genomic structure does not appear to have been reported amongst the herpesviruses--all the genomes that do not isomerize either have repeat structures only at the termini, or if present internally, have only direct repeats.
(17) The isomeric N,N-dimethyl-4,5-diphenyl-1H-pyrazole-1-propanamine was completely inactive in the primary antidepressant screens.
(18) Correspondingly, in the case of the histidine-peptides examined only mixtures of the cyclic isomeric compounds were isolated and structurally characterized by 1H-NMR analysis.
(19) In contrast to the biphasic unfolding of the wild-type nuclease, the unfolding of the mutant is represented by a single-phase reaction, indicating that the biphasic unfolding for the wild-type protein is caused by cis-trans isomerization about the prolyl peptide bond in the native state.
(20) In order to prepare a completely light-stable rhodopsin, we have synthesized an analog, II, of 11-cis retinal in which isomerization at the C11-C12 cis-double bond is blocked by formation of a cyclohexene ring from the C10 to C13-methyl.
Sorbin
Definition:
(n.) An unfermentable sugar, isomeric with glucose, found in the ripe berries of the rowan tree, or sorb, and extracted as a sweet white crystalline substance; -- called also mountain-ash sugar.
Example Sentences:
(1) Sorbin is a newly isolated intestinal peptide that has been purified because of its ability to induce water absorption.
(2) This particular type of bioavailability, which differentiates sorbinicate from nicotinic acid, might explain the better effect on the plasma lipids as well as the absence of the side-effects that occur with nicotinic acid administration.
(3) Sorbin has been isolated from extracts of porcine upper intestine, and the biological activity in absorbing water and electrolytes utilized to monitor the purification procedure.
(4) The effects that sorbin and some synthetic peptides corresponding to its C-terminal sequence have on duodenal absorption of water, chloride, and sodium were studied in comparison with the effects of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), [D-Ala,Met]-enkephalinamide (DAMA), and angiotensin II.
(5) Angiotensin II and sorbin induced an absorption in the picomolar dose range.
(6) All synthetic peptides containing the C-terminal heptapeptide of sorbin were active in the picomolar dose range.
