(8) The mutant ribosomes prepared from the transition-phase cells have much lower activity (below 60%) for poly(U)-directed polyphenylalanine synthesis than those in exponentially growing or resting stationary-phase cells.
(9) Previous studies demonstrated that, when poly(dT).oligo(dA) was used as a template-primer, both proteins were required for poly(dA) synthesis.
(10) Sequences representing the entire TIR are transcribed into poly(A)+ mRNA at both early and late times in the infection.
(11) The poly(dG-dC) helical duplex forms a modified, B-family structure (B*) at very high hydration and a normal B structure at slightly lower hydration.

(13) Poly(ortho ester) bioerodible polymers are suitable materials for the topical administration of a wide variety of therapeutic agents; varying the nature and amounts of excipients physically incorporated into the polymer will vary the erosion rates from a few hours to many months.
(14) alpha 1 and alpha 2 were very similar as DNA polymerases in their sensitivity to several inhibitors and their preference for template-primers, except that alpha 1 had a slightly greater preference for poly (dT) X (rA)10 than alpha 2 did.
(15) The cells, however, were not inhibited by the same concentrations of free poly(Lys) and free drug.
(16) The product AEDANS-S1 can bind to 30S ribosomal subunits lacking S1 as shown by polyacrylamide-agarose gel electrophoresis AEDANS-S1 and AAF-S1 when added back to S1-depleted 30S subunits modulate poly(U)-dependent polyphenylalanine synthesis in the presence of IF3 in a very similar way to unmodified S1.
(17) Both early and late after infection, total nuclear viral transcripts are, on the average, larger than viral transcripts found on polyribosomes; however, nuclear HSV poly(A+) RNA is not measureably larger than the corresponding cytoplasmic viral poly(A+) sequences at either time.
(18) The "random coil" conformational problem is examined by comparison of vibrational CD (VCD) spectra of various polypeptide model systems with that of proline oligomers [(Pro)n] and poly(L-proline).
(19) Infrared linear dichroism investigations indicate that the alternating poly[d(A-T)]-poly[d(A-T)], enzymatically synthesized, adopts a lower humidity a well-expressed A* form in which stability is relatively small,i.e., restricted to limited relative humidity.
(20) The bent DNA has been localized to a 40-55 base pair (bp) segment and contains six (A)3-5 stretches (that is, six poly(A) stretches, three to five nucleotides in length) phased approximately every 10.5 bp.

Definition:
(n.) A brief poetical sentiment; hence, any brief sentiment, motto, or legend; especially, one inscribed on a ring.
(n.) A flower; a bouquet; a nosegay.
Example Sentences:
(1) The stock isn't fantastic but I spy books by Jane Gardam and Claire Messud, David Mitchell and, er, Jordan, and it's impressive that a library so small has a section devoted to graphic novels, Gemma Bovery by Posy Simmonds and David Boring by Daniel Clowes in pride of place.
