What's the difference between serine and verine?

Serine


Definition:

  • (n.) A white crystalline nitrogenous substance obtained by the action of dilute sulphuric acid on silk gelatin.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Addition in the cultures of 4-deoxypyridoxine, a potent antagonist of vitamin B6 coenzymes, concurrently with the mitogen, inhibits the induction of serine hydroxymethyltransferase.
  • (2) Amino acid analysis indicated a significant number of serine amino acids: N-terminal sequence data demonstrated a high level of homology; and trypsin digestion followed by reversed-phase HPLC indicated the possibility of multiple phosphorylation sites.
  • (3) Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), the primary physiological inhibitor of tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) in plasma, is a serine proteinase inhibitor (serpin) that forms a 1:1 stoichiometric complex with its target proteinase leading to the formation of a stable inactive complex.
  • (4) The alterations in DS frontal cortex included decreases in (n-6) and increases in (n-3) groups in choline and ethanolamine phosphoglycerides (CPG and EPG), as had previously been found in EPG and serine phosphoglyceride (SPG) of the DS fetal brain.
  • (5) A significant proportion of the soluble protein of the organic matrix of mollusk shells is composed of a repeating sequence of aspartic acid separated by either glycine or serine.
  • (6) Serine (12.0-18.2%), tyrosine (5.8-9.0%) and glycine (4.5-7.1%), along with arginine, make up the bulk of the amino acid residues in these molecules.
  • (7) Serine inhibited the ethanolamine incorporation by this preparation and ethanolamine inhibited the serine incorporation.
  • (8) The exceptions were the levels of threonine, glutamine, serine and histidine, which were three times greater in brain than in serum.
  • (9) Phosphorylation of serine occurs mostly (Sp H1) or entirely (Sp H2B) on the N-terminal portions of these molecules.
  • (10) The structural region contains serines, threonines, and cysteines at exactly the positions required to give mature nisin by a series of post-translational modifications involving dehydration of serines and threonines to dehydro forms, and cross-linking with cysteine residues.
  • (11) Two-dimensional phosphopeptide map analysis revealed that the major sites of tyrosine and serine phosphorylation in PLC-gamma 1 from activated Jurkat cells are the same as those in PLC-gamma 1 from cells treated with peptide growth factors such as epidermal growth factor and platelet-derived growth factor.
  • (12) Phosphate appears to be incorporated solely into serine residues.
  • (13) Other amino acids (glutamine, taurine, asparagine, alanine, serine) were only altered in single brain regions, or were not altered at all (aspartate, glycine, threonine, arginine).
  • (14) 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.
  • (15) Phosphoamino acid analysis showed that histidyl-tRNA synthetase is phosphorylated on serine, as has previously been shown for threonyl-tRNA synthetase of CHO cells.
  • (16) We present evidence that over-expression of human plasminogen, the precursor to the serine protease plasmin, can be cytotoxic to mammalian cells.
  • (17) Sodium Acetate, Arginine, Cysteine, Leucine, Norleucine, Methionine and Serine (more than 50%).
  • (18) Pancreatic and urinary kallikreins failed to form the typical serine proteinase complex with alpha2M (alpha2-macroglobulin).
  • (19) Serine deletion was also shown to be position-specific.
  • (20) The data obtained testify to the presence in the granular fraction of the endopeptidase LTH-converting activity which is sensitive to pepstatin A, an aspartyl proteinase inhibitor as well as to chelators and a serine proteinase inhibitor.

Verine


Definition:

  • (n.) An alkaloid obtained as a yellow amorphous substance by the decomposition of veratrine.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) We report on the isolation of two bovine cardiac troponin isoforms which differ in sequence near the amino terminus of troponin T (Risnik, V. V., Verin, A. D., and Gusev, N. B.
