Purling
Definition:
(p. pr. & vb. n.) of Purl
(n.) The motion of a small stream running among obstructions; also, the murmur it makes in so doing.
Example Sentences:
(1) The purL gene of Escherichia coli encoding the enzyme formylglycinamidine ribonucleotide (FGAM) synthetase which catalyzes the conversion of formylglycinamide ribonucleotide (FGAR), glutamine, and MgATP to FGAM, glutamate, ADP, and Pi has been cloned and sequenced.
