Monest
Definition:
(v. t.) To warn; to admonish; to advise.
Example Sentences:
(1) Significant inhibition of both ComEst and MonEst was exerted by 1% sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) and 1.0 mM diethyl pyrocarbonate (DEPC), but the patterns of inhibition for the two esterase species with the remaining compounds studied differed considerably; for example, 0.2 mM phenylmethylsulphonyl fluoride (PMSF), 5.0 x 10(-3) M dichloroisocoumarin (DCIC) and 0.1 mM N-tosyl-L-phenylalanine chloromethyl ketone (TPCK) all inhibited MonEst but not ComEst.
