What's the difference between parentheses and parenthesize?

Parentheses


Definition:

  • (pl. ) of Parenthesis

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The selective NK2 receptor antagonists MEN 10,376, L 659,877 and R 396 antagonized competitively the response to [PAla8] neurokinin A (4-10) with the following rank order of potency (pA2 values in parentheses): MEN 10,376 (7.41)>L 659,877 (7.15)>R 396 (6.43).
  • (2) If a phrase that expresses a comment about a noun can be omitted without substantially changing the meaning, and if it would be pronounced after a slight pause and with its own intonation contour, then be sure to set it off with commas (or dashes or parentheses): "The Cambridge restaurant, which had failed to clean its grease trap, was infested with roaches."
  • (3) The numbers in parentheses indicate the concentration (mM) required for half-maximal inhibition under the conditions used.
  • (4) The HbAlc at zero, three, six, nine and 12 months were as follows (SD in parentheses): 7.5 (1.2); 7.9 (1.5); 7.6 (1.2); 7.8 (1.4); and 7.9 (2.1).
  • (5) We propose a model for activation and catalysis of ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase: (see book) where E represents free inactive enzyme; complex in parentheses, activated enzyme; R, ribulose bisphosphate; M, Mg2+; C, CO2; P, the product.
  • (6) From this comparison between wild type and mutants, we conclude: (a) that the formation of parentheses is a primary differentiation of the plasma membrane, independent of the presence of trichocysts, while the secondary transformation of parentheses into circular arrays and the formation of the rosette are triggered by interaction between trichocysts and plasma membranes; and (b) that the formation of the rosette is a prerequisite for trichocyst exocytosis.
  • (7) The maximum lod scores, recombination estimates, and confidence upper bounds (in parentheses) were 91.0 at theta = .004 (.012) for CF and MET, 71.3 at theta = .003 (.011) for CF and D7S8, and 69.3 at theta = .018 (.036) for MET and D7S8.
  • (8) 10H2O, space group P21, a = 23.068(6) A, b = 9.162(3) A, c = 26.727(9) A, beta = 108.69(2) degrees (standard deviation of last digit is given in parentheses); overall agreement factor R = 10.1% for 5322 observed relfections [magnitude of Fo greater than 3 sigma (F)]; resolution, 0.93 A.
  • (9) We compared cAMP formation in response to activators (following in parentheses) of the VP receptor (VP), of the stimulatory guanine nucleotide binding (Gs) protein [guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTP gamma S); F-], and of the catalytic subunit of adenylyl cyclase (forskolin, Mn2+) between control and DOCA-NaCl-treated rats.
  • (10) U.S. customary units can be presented in parentheses following the appropriate SI unit, when it is necessary for clarity.
  • (11) From the results, spm, Grl-1, Fim-2, and Mbp loci were mapped on chromosome 18, and the following order of genes is proposed, with distances between genes in parentheses: centromere--spm--(7.8 cM)--Grl-1--(7.8 cM)--Fim-2--(39.1 cM)--Mbp--telomere.
  • (12) Examination of the effect of varying the fatty acid composition in the phosphatidic acids added exogenously gave the following order (activities in parentheses); 1-stearoyl-2-oleoyl- (5.58), 1-oleoyl-2-stearoyl- (5.37), 1,2-dioleoyl- (4.49) 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-(3.85), 1-stearoyl-2-arachidonoyl-(3.31), 1-arachidonoyl-2-stearoyl-(3.16), 1,2-diarachidonoyl-(0.72), 1,2-dicaproyl-(0.67), 1,2-dipalmitoyl-(0.67) and 1,2-distearoyl-(0.18).
  • (13) A nonrestrictive relative clause is set off by commas, dashes or parentheses, as in "The pair of shoes, which cost five thousand dollars, was hideous."
  • (14) (The number of isolates of each type is indicated in parentheses.)
  • (15) However, those drugs that were found to inhibit babesial growth included compounds (shown in parentheses) that have the following putative mitochondrial targets in the parasite: ATP synthetase complex (rhodamine 123, oligomycin, Janus Green); ATP-ADP translocase (bongkrekic acid); electron transport (rotenone, n-heptyl-4-hydroxyquinoline-N-oxide (HQNO), antimycin A); ubiquinone (CoQ) function (BW58C, menoctone); protein synthesis (tetracycline); and the proton pump (CCCP).
  • (16) Several pathogens were isolated (MIC ranges [micrograms per milliliter] in parentheses): Haemophilus influenzae or Haemophilus parainfluenzae was isolated 23 times (azithromycin, less than or equal to 0.06 to 32; amoxicillin, 0.12 to 2); Streptococcus pneumoniae was isolated from 11 patients (azithromcyin, less than or equal to 0.06 greater than 256; amoxicillin, less than or equal to 0.06 to 0.25); Moraxella (Branhamella) catarrhalis was isolated from eight patients (azithromycin, less than or equal to 0.06; amoxicillin, less than or equal to 0.06 to 16); and other members of the family Enterobacteriaceae were isolated from eight patients.
  • (17) The relative potencies of the inhibitory moieties of the drugs (in parentheses) and the normalized 'equiactive' oral doses employed for time-course studies were: SQ 29,852 (1.0), 100 mg kg-1; captopril (3.5), 30 mg kg-1; enalapril (12), 20 mg kg-1; fosinopril (13), 25 mg kg-1; zofenopril (20), 10 mg kg-1; lisinopril (24), 10 mg kg-1; and ramipril (51), 5 mg kg-1.
  • (18) Taken separately, the major aetiological fractions for cardiovascular risk factors at work are respectively (women in parentheses) 6% (14%) for monotonous high paced work, 7% (7%) for shift work, and 2% (2%) for passive smoking.
  • (19) The percentage of the clinical diagnoses in women who underwent pelvic and Pap smear examinations (Pap smear data are within the parentheses) were: 36.6 (29.0) no abnormal findings, 14.9 (10.5) vulvovaginitis and leukorrhea, 10.1 (9.7) cervicitis and cervical erosion, 5.6 (1.9) bleeding per os, 3.4 (0.3) abortion, and 3.3 (1.3) adnexitis.
  • (20) The correspondences we have assumed between the ABR components in cat and man are indicated by providing a Roman numeral designation for the human component in parentheses following the feline notation, e.g., P4 (V).
