Example Sentences:

(4) For all sulfatase A enzymes tested, the midpoint of the pH transition for subunit association was pH 6.2, suggesting that the amino acid residues involved in the dimerization are similar.
(5) Increasing acidity favors M II, with the midpoint of the pH titration curve at pH 6.4.

(9) Although calculation of the observed heart rate as a percent of that expected at the midpoint and end of each quartile of exercise used fewer observations, it provided similar results.
(10) The chemical shift of both reagents on S-1 is sensitive to a structural transition in the region of SH1 which occurs upon increasing the temperature from 0 degrees C to 35 degrees C. The midpoint of the transition in both papain and chymotryptic S-1 is at approximately 11 degrees C at pH 7 (0.1 M CKl).
(11) The authors' previous study with an eye camera revealed that when asked to mark the centre of a line patients with left unilateral spatial neglect persist in fixating a point on its right part and place the subjective midpoint there without searching leftwards.

(13) The two types of procedure also yield different conclusions in scaling experiments designed to study the functional midpoint of two or more durations (temporal bisection procedures).
(14) The most abundant classes of late Ad2 mRNA observed by this technique hybridized, in order of R-loop frequency, with midpoints near posit1ons 0.57, 0.88, 0.77, and 0.40 to 0.50 of the DNA map.
