Example Sentences:

(8) After steaming of 4 green coffee's the content of quinic acid was always higher, but no quinide had been formed.
(9) In Neurospora crassa, the enzyme quinate (shikimate) dehydrogenase catalyzes the first reaction in the inducible quinic acid catabolic pathway and is encoded in the qa-3 gene of the qa cluster.
(10) The shikimate pathway and the quinic acid utilisation (QUT) pathway of Aspergillus nidulans and other fungi share the two common metabolic intermediates, 3-dehydroquinic acid (DHQ) and dehydroshikimic acid (DHS), which are interconverted by two isoenzymes, catabolic 3-dehydroquinase, (cDHQase) and biosynthetic dehydroquinase, (bDHQase).
(11) In addition we showed that a qutE mutant (lacking cDHQase) can grow with quinic acid as sole carbon source whtn the arom protein is overproduced fivefold.
(12) Succinic, fumaric, and quinic acids are wide spread, tartaric acid was found in carrots, lettuce, endives, chicory, and celery.
(13) A concentration of quinic acid or shikimic acid as low as 50 micron protects the enzyme markedly from heat inactivation.
(14) Enzyme assays indicated that the specific activities of catabolic dehydroquinase induced by quinic acid in the transformants ranged from 4% to 32% of that induced in wild-type N. crassa.
(15) Quinic acid and its lactone (quinide) have been determined in coffee by capillary gas chromatography.
(16) Possible precursors of these o-diphenols (quinic acid, aromatic monohydroxy acids, or tyrosine) do not give rise to the brown pigmentation.
(17) The 5'-flanking regions of the five qa structural genes and the two qa regulatory genes each contain DNase I hypersensitive sites under noninducing conditions and generally exhibit increases in DNase I cleavage upon induction of transcription with quinic acid.
(18) Liquid chromatography was used for quantitation of sugars (glucose, fructose, sucrose, and sorbitol), nonvolatile acids (malic, quinic, citric, shikimic, and fumaric), and phenolics (chlorogenic acid and hydroxymethylfurfural [HMF]).
(19) Seventeen ambulant outpatients with familial Type IIa or Type IIb hyperlipoproteinaemia were treated with Cynarin, the 1,5-dicaffeyl ester of quinic acid, the constituent of the artichoke (Cynara scolymus).
(20) qa-1F is transcribed at a low, uninduced level but is subject to strong (50-fold), autogenous regulation as well as to control by the negative regulatory gene, qa-1S, and the inducer quinic acid.
Quintic
Definition:
(a.) Of the fifth degree or order.
(n.) A quantic of the fifth degree. See Quantic.
Example Sentences:
(1) Liver bile acid levels followed a quintic trend, rising until 23 days of age and dropping sharply at 30 days of age and holding steady.
(2) Bile acid pool size was significantly affected by age and followed a quintic trend (a fifth degree polynomial).
(3) Noise in measured muscle length was filtered by means of quintic splines.
(4) The stages used comprise the synchronization of data obtained from two camera views, the determination of three-dimensional coordinates of joint centres, the calculation of an angle from a sequence of sine and cosine values and the curve fitting of angles using quintic splines.
(5) Original procedures are presented for obtaining individual error estimates of both the film data and the calculated angles to permit the automatic fitting of quintic splines for interpolation and differentiation and for deriving the time history of an angle as a continuous function from a sequence of sine and cosine values.
(6) Two different quintic-spline smoothing methods were used to analyze the motion data obtained with Roentgenstereophotogrammetry in two experiments.
