What's the difference between proline and provine?

Proline


Definition:

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Collagen production of rapidly thawed ligaments was studied by proline incubation at 1 day, 9 days, or 6 weeks after freezing and was compared with that of contralateral fresh controls.
  • (2) Recently, we have designed a series of simplified artificial signal sequences and have shown that a proline residue in the signal sequence plays an important role in the secretion of human lysozyme in yeast, presumably by altering the conformation of the signal sequence [Yamamoto, Y., Taniyama, Y., & Kikuchi, M. (1989) Biochemistry 28, 2728-2732].
  • (3) The specific rates of degradation of L-arginine-AMC, gly-proline-AMC, N-alpha-benzoyl-L-arginine-AMC and N-[p-toluene-sulphonyl]gly-pro-arginine-AMC were significantly greater in that group, indicating that the composition of their gingival crevicular fluid was different from that of the gingivitis group.
  • (4) Uninucleate trophozoites and schizonts of Plasmodium lophurae were labeled metabolically with [3H]proline.
  • (5) Thus acidic amino acids strongly inhibit acceptor activity as do glycine and proline residues as amino-terminal and carboxy-terminal neighbours, respectively.
  • (6) P-1894B dose dependently reduced the hydroxylation of peptidyl proline in the fibrotic liver.
  • (7) Substitution of a single amino acid residue, proline for glycine-9 in [pGlu6]SP6-11, a hexapeptide analogue of substance P, confers on the peptide selective agonist activity toward the SP-P receptor subtype.
  • (8) The acylation of salivary mucin with fatty acids and its biosynthesis was investigated by incubating rat submandibular salivary gland cells with [3H]palmitic acid and [3H]proline.
  • (9) A nutritional mutant of Staphylococcus aureus H has been isolated and grown in media in which the only amino acids are arginine, cysteine, glutamic acid and proline.
  • (10) The adhesion-promoting activity in the first group of fractions was associated with the family of acidic proline-rich proteins (PRPs), while that of the second group is as yet unidentified.
  • (11) As in the protein sample, a tendency for the cis-proline residues to have the DOWN pucker was observed, but the effect was less pronounced.
  • (12) The primary sequence of decorsin indicates that the protein is 39 amino acids long and contains 6 cysteine and 6 proline residues, as well as the sequence Arg-Gly-Asp, (RGD), a proposed recognition site of many adhesion proteins.
  • (13) To gain further insight into the side chain requirement at position 177 that confers maltose recognition, further substitutions of isoleucine, leucine, phenylalanine, proline, and serine have been made via site-directed mutagenesis.
  • (14) In the adsorption studies, it was apparent that the originally secreted amelogenin (25 K), proline, and histidine-rich protein (2a), as well as the higher molecular weight components (60-90 K), showed a strong adsorption affinity onto the HA.
  • (15) To determine whether this density gradient shift was due to increased maturation rate of bone or decreased resorption and mineralization rates, [3H]proline and 45Ca were injected 5 days and 24 hours prior to sacrifice, respectively.
  • (16) 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).
  • (17) The N-terminal sequence (15 amino acid residues) of the L-proline activating fragment obtained by trypsin treatment was identical with that of GS2, indicating that the L-proline activating site is located at the N-terminus of the native synthetase.
  • (18) Turnover of D-[14C]alanine-labeled sites within the peptide side chain of PG occurred at roughly twice this rate; no turnover of L-[3H]proline-labeled protein was detected.
  • (19) Recently, sequence analysis of the cDNA for proline-rich protein (PRP) demonstrated that PRP is identical with C4bp.
  • (20) At low concentrations, T4C induced proline dehydrogenase synthesis.

Provine


Definition:

  • (v. t.) To lay a stock or branch of a vine in the ground for propagation.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Although provinical cancer control measures vary, there is a marked similarity among some, so that they can be categorized into two or three patterns.
