What's the difference between kinker and skinker?

Kinker


Definition:

Example Sentences:

  • (1) To facilitate the cleavage of fusion proteins, we have introduced a glycine-rich linker (glycine kinker) containing the sequence P.G.I.S.G.G.G.G.G located immediately following the thrombin cleavage site.
  • (2) 192, 262-267) which has a glycine-rich "kinker" immediately after the thrombin cleavage site.
  • (3) The introduction of the glycine kinker into fusion proteins allows for the cleavage of the fusion proteins while they are attached to the affinity resin resulting in a single step purification of the recombinant protein.
  • (4) We have constructed two new vectors, pGEX-KT and pGEX-KN, which have the glycine kinker placed N-terminal to the thrombin cleavage site in order to minimize the unrelated amino acids associated with the cleaved protein.
  • (5) This kinker dramatically improved the thrombin cleavage efficiency of several fusion proteins.
  • (6) The change in location of the kinker had no effect on the increased thrombin cleavage efficiency.
  • (7) A strategy combining the kinker in the vector pGEX-KN with polymerase chain reaction has also been developed to express fusion proteins which when cleaved with thrombin released a protein having no amino terminal extensions of any kind.
  • (8) This glycine kinker greatly increases the thrombin cleavage efficiency of several fusion proteins.

Skinker


Definition:

  • (n.) One who serves liquor; a tapster.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Metathelazia Skinker, 1931 in which the cephalic structures could not be correlated with any other morphological or anatomical character.
