Opalescent
Definition:
(a.) Reflecting a milky or pearly light from the interior; having an opaline play of colors.
Example Sentences:

(19) We have found that after the initial rise in scattering, there is a further gradual increase in scattering (we call it "super-opalescence").
(20) A fraction possibly corresponding to VHDL (very high density lipoproteins, 77% protein, 23% lipid) was also detected but appeared contaminated by a protein-rich opalescent material.
Opalize
Definition:
(v. t.) To convert into opal, or a substance like opal.
Example Sentences:

(3) The presence of 5' homologies flanking only the transcribed genes and not the pseudogenes suggests that these regions may be regulatory control elements specifically involved in the expression of the eukaryotic opal suppressor gene.
(4) The nonsense mutants of S. pombe have been classified according to their suppressibility by defined opal and ochre suppressors into a class of efficiently suppressed opal and a class of inefficiency suppressed ochre mutants.
(5) The opal suppressor form shows moderate suppressor activity when the gene is introduced on this vector, however, the ochre suppressor form exhibits no detectable biological activity regardless of gene copy number.
(6) The rabbit genome encodes an opal suppressor tRNA gene.
(7) Using such an assay, we provide the first direct evidence that an opal suppressor tRNA gene is functional in mammalian cells.
(8) The growth patterns of nonsense mutants of RNA (GA and f2) and DNA (lambda and T4) phages suggested that KO1 carried an amber, but not ochre or opal suppressors.
(9) Opal suppressor tRNA did not accept any selenocysteine and phosphoseryl-tRNA did not change to selenocysteyl-tRNA.
(10) We report here the construction of a detailed genetic and physical map of these genes, the neighboring gene 4 and a portion of gene 10, in which 289 conditional lethal amber, opal, temperature sensitive and cold sensitive mutations are mapped into 44 small (several hundred base pair) intervals of known sequence.
