  • (20) For example, stem pairing with a sequence other than wild-type resulted in normal protein binding in vitro but derepression of protein synthesis in vivo.

Twining


Definition:

  • (p. pr. & vb. n.) of Twine
  • (a.) Winding around something; twisting; embracing; climbing by winding about a support; as, the hop is a twinning plant.
  • (a.) The act of one who, or that which, twines; (Bot.) the act of climbing spirally.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) And she had a very good point, because Twine is interminable.

  • (6) In the network the inter-twining of pairs of fibres and the occurrence of flat fibre spirals (disks) are interpreted as evidence of DNA supercoiling, but other fibres of similar thickness are not visibly supercoiled.
