What's the difference between protein and putrefaction?

Protein


Definition:

  • (n.) A body now known as alkali albumin, but originally considered to be the basis of all albuminous substances, whence its name.

  • (16) We also show that the gene of the main capsid protein is expressed from its own promoter in an Escherichia coli strain.
  • (17) Western blot analysis of these mitochondria using an antibody against carnitine palmitoyltransferase II purified from beef heart demonstrates a 68-kDa protein, which under ischemic conditions apparently is decreased by 2 kDa.
  • (18) Fifteen sera ICA-IgG and ICA-protein A positive with high titres remained positive thereafter.
  • (19) Patient or fetal cord serum is commonly used as a protein supplement to culture media used in in-vitro fertilization (IVF).
  • (20) Using the oocyte system to express size-fractionated mRNA, we have also determined that the mRNA coding for this protein is between 1.9-2.4 kilobases in length.

Putrefaction


Definition:

  • (n.) The act or the process of putrefying; the offensive decay of albuminous or other matter.
  • (n.) The condition of being putrefied; also, that which putrefied.

Example Sentences:

C. botulinum spores were recovered with good precision from meat samples inoculated with mixtures of C. botulinum and Putrefactive Anaerobe 3679 at 1:1 and at 1:99 ratios.
  • (4) putrefaction we determined the AChE activity under different conditions.
  • (5) Pea extract contains a factor which improves recovery counts of heat-stressed putrefactive anaerobe spores in a complex medium up to threefold.
