What's the difference between koff and toff?

Koff


Definition:

  • (n.) A two-masted Dutch vessel.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The time course of the binding of a radioligand in the presence of a competing unlabeled ligand was analyzed in terms of rate constants of association (kon) and dissociation (koff) for binding of the radioligand and the competitor.

  • (7) A temperature-dependence study of koff for the cortisol and progesterone complexes gave values of 0.0028 s-1 and 0.012 s-1 at 4 degrees C, respectively, and 0.88 s-1 and 4.5 s-1 at 37 degrees C, with progesterone dissociating about four to five times faster over the entire temperature range.
  • (8) One of three bound nucleotide molecules is localized at the site with Kd approximately 10(-7) M and released with koff approximately 0.1 s-1.

  • (10) 2-(Trimethylammonio)ethyl pyrophosphate also inhibits with Ki' = 7 X 10(-7) M, kon' = 4.4 X 10(4) M-1 min-1, and koff = 0.03 min-1.
  • (11) The results of the inhibition of HL elastase by 175 benzoxazinones are reported herein with reference to hydrophobicity constants D, alkaline hydrolysis rates kOH-, inhibition constants Ki, and their component acylation and deacylation rate constants, kon and koff, respectively.
  • (12) In locust, 500 mM ethanol did not affect either Kon or Koff.
  • (13) The dissociation equilibrium constant of the binding was found to be 4 x 10(-9) M at 37 degrees C. Kinetic studies of complex formation and dissociation revealed that the kon and koff were 4 x 10(6) M-1 s-1 and 6.8 x 10(-2) s-1 respectively at 16 degrees C. Equilibrium competition experiments showed that the enzyme has varying affinities for a variety of nucleic acids in the order 23S rRNA greater than 16S rRNA greater than M13 DNA, f2 RNA greater than tRNA.
  • (14) These compounds are "slow-binding" inhibitors of HLE and, thus, allow the determination of Ki, the dissociation constant for the stable complex of inhibitor and enzyme, as well as kon and koff, the rate constants for formation and decomposition of this complex.
  • (15) We have treated hypospadia that is strictly glandular either with Duckett's Magpi procedure (54 cases, 49 long-term follow-up, 47 good results, retraction of the meatus in two), or Koff's advancement procedure if there is a grow in glans (13 cases, 12 good results, on requiring meatostomy).
  • (16) External pH effect was primarily mediated by modulation of kon; koff was again relatively unaffected.
  • (17) We measured the apparent individual on and off rate constants (kon and koff) for bFGF binding to these two sites on intact cells and to each class of binding site in the absence of the other.
  • (18) In the acidic form, koff was increased 5- and 20-fold when Arg 48 was replaced with Lys and Leu, respectively, while in the acidic form of mutants that possess Arg 48, koff was similar to that observed in CCP(MI).
  • (19) Butanol binds at the effector site but does not effect koff of TPB.
  • (20) For Cd(II) or Mg(II) at the B site in place of Zn(II), koff less than or equal to 1 s-1 X Cl-ion, which appears to coordinate the A site metal ion, enhances koff, suggesting that both Cl- and HPO2-4 can coordinate the A site metal ion in a 5-coordinate intermediate.

Toff


Definition:

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Tory toffs repelling undesirable immigrants, providing better schools, using welfare reform as a pathway to work, clearing vandals, yobs and drunks from the streets and standing up to our masters in Brussels would be very popular, and the word would soon be forgotten.

  • (11) Hutchings, a mother-of-four, also declared that she was not a "rich Tory toff" and said she once had to borrow £1.80 to pay for parking from members of a job club she ran because the cash machine would not give her any money.
