What's the difference between oversaturate and saturate?
Oversaturate
Definition:
(v. t.) To saturate to excess.
Example Sentences:

The different concentrations of deuterated substrate produce different levels of deuteration of the enzyme's catalytic groups, the kinetic consequence of which allow the fractionation factors of these enzymic groups to be determined.
(10) The association with an hypercalciuria is an important factor which must be taken into account because oxalates and phosphates precipitate as calcium crystals in case of urinnary oversaturation.

(16) Because these iron assays do not all measure the same form(s) of iron, we studied subjects in various states of iron nutriture: normal adults, iron-deficient patients, thalassemia patients with unsaturated transferrin or oversaturated transferrin, and patients with idiopathic hemochromatosis.
(17) To probe the nature of the interconversion of the two unliganded forms of proline racemase, a number of experiments have been performed under oversaturating conditions where the rate of the enzymic reaction is mainly limited by the rate of this interconversion.
(18) Patients whose urine was not remarkably oversaturated showed no tendency to elaborate even less saturated urine during thiazide treatment; instead, the average calcium oxalate saturation level remained constant.
(19) Direct urine saturation measurements can detect a small but significant number of normocalciuric patients who have marked oversaturation with respect to calcium oxalate and appear to benefit from treatment.
(20) In the formation of calculi within the urinary tract, two fundamental factors are critical when crystals precipitate and stones form: They are solute and the solution itself, which must be oversaturated if crystals are to form and to grow.
Saturate
Definition:
(v. t.) To cause to become completely penetrated, impregnated, or soaked; to fill fully; to sate.
(v. t.) To satisfy the affinity of; to cause to become inert by chemical combination with all that it can hold; as, to saturate phosphorus with chlorine.
(p. a.) Filled to repletion; saturated; soaked.
Example Sentences:

(2) Arterial oxyhaemoglobin saturation (SaO2) was monitored continuously during normal labour in 33 healthy parturients receiving pethidine and nitrous oxide for analgesia.
(3) The Cao-dependent Na+ efflux was half-maximally activated by [Ca2+]o = 2.0 mM in LiSW and 7.2 mM in Tris-SW; at saturating [Ca2+]o, [Ca2+]i, and [Na+]i the maximal (calculated) Cao-dependent Na+ efflux was approximately 75 pmol#cm2.s.
(4) With fields and fells already saturated after more than four times the average monthly rainfall falling within the first three weeks of December, there was nowhere left to absorb the rainfall which has cascaded from fields into streams and rivers.
(5) They retained the ability to make this discrimination when the coloured stimuli were placed against a background bright enough to saturate the rods.3.
(6) There were few significant differences between high polyunsaturated (safflower oil) and saturated fat (lard) diet groups.
(7) Saturated acyl residues predominated in lysolecithin and unsaturated ones in acids released by hydrolysis of egg lecithin.
(8) Furthermore, in induced Friend cells 100 microM Fe-SIH stimulated 2-14C-glycine incorporation into heme up to 3.6-fold as compared to the incorporation observed with saturating concentrations of Fe-Tf.
(9) The present results using approximately 12% hemoglobin concentration in 0.1 M Bistris buffer at pD 7 and 27 degrees C with and without organic phosphate show that there is no significant line broadening on oxygenation (from 0 to 50% saturation) to affect the determination of the intensities or areas of these resonances.
