What's the difference between stentorian and stentorin?
Stentorian
Definition:
(a.) Of or pertaining to a stentor; extremely loud; powerful; as, a stentorian voice; stentorian lungs.
Example Sentences:

(4) But I would prefer to sound like a regular adult human being, so I will just point out soberly that – as so many stentorian denunciations of word usage do – it lacks all historical and etymological justification.

(8) A stentorian American voice would utter the legend: “This election meets the highest standards of Scottish democratic excellence.” But the big Benjamins would assuredly accrue from the dodgier democracies such as Russia and China.
(9) Ludus played a fretful and subsequently jazz-inflected post-punk, their singer's playfully stentorian vocals (which Morrissey admired, and in part mimicked a few years later) describing vignettes charged with the sexual politics of the time and occasionally veering into ecstatic screeches.
(10) The best part was hitchhiking up to London for a night out (her brilliantly posh and stentorian voice meant that her lifts tended to keep their hands to themselves, fearing serious consequences if they didn't).
(11) We like the way the riff decelerates to a sludgy pace, and the booming, stentorian singing, which is of the Peter Murphy-announcing-that-Bela-Lugosi-is-dead school of portentous vocalese.
(12) Tuck got progressively drunker as the night went on, and Roberts dealt with it in a kind of disapproving stentorian way.
Stentorin
Definition:
(n.) A blue coloring matter found in some stentors. See Stentor, 2.
Example Sentences:
(1) Stentorin serves as the photoreceptor for the photophobic and negative phototactic responses in Stentor coeruleus.
(2) Two forms of the stentorin have been isolated and purified.
(3) Results are suggestive of proton dissociation as a primary photoprocess from the excited state of stentorin II.
(4) The peptide-linked stentorin (I) chromophore exhibits circular dichroism in the visible region due to the induced optical activity provided by the peptide.
(5) Stentorin localized in the pigment granules of the cell serves as the primary photoreceptor for the photophobic and phototactic responses in this organism.
(6) The sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of a 38% fraction of the sucrose density centrifugation has resolved stentorin II proteins having molecular weights of 13 000, 16 000, 65 000 and 130 000.
(7) The strongly fluorescent form, stentorin I at pH 7.8, exhibited nearly exponential fluorescence decay monitored at 620 nm, having two comparable lifetime decay components of 2.53 ns (47%) and 5.95 ns (53%).
(8) A few "case examples" are discussed in some detail: Halobacterium, with particular attention to the contribution of flash photolysis studies to the identification and characterization of sensory rhodopsins; Euglena, and the role of in vivo microspectrofluorometry in confirming the flavin nature of its photoreceptor pigment; the first suggestions on the rhodopsin-like nature of the Chlamydomonas photosensing system; Stentor and Blepharisma and the contribution of static and time-resolved fluorescence studies to a molecular model of the primary events in their photoreceptor pigments (stentorin and blepharismin) and systems.
(9) The weakly fluorescent form, stentorin II, exhibited an ultrafast fluorescence decay component (10 ps) at an emission wavelength of 630 nm and pH 7.8.
(10) Stentorin I is composed of at least two heterologous subunits corresponding to apparent mol.
(11) Stentorin I has an apparent molecular weight of 68,600 and 52,000 by SDS-PAGE (at 10 and 13% gel, respectively) or 102,000 by steric exclusion HPLC, whereas stentorin II is a larger molecular assembly probably composed of several proteins (mol.
(12) Stentorin II appears to be the primary photoreceptor whose absorption and fluorescence properties are consistent with the action spectra for the photoresponses of the ciliate to visible light.
(13) The amplitudes of the multi-component fluorescence in stentorin II were found to be emission wavelength-dependent.
(14) Effects of pH and pD on the fluorescence decay kinetics and time-resolved spectra of stentorins I and II have also been investigated.
(15) Two forms of the stentorin pigments have been isolated from the pigment granules.
(16) The pigment granule contains the photoreceptor chromoproteins (stentorins).
(17) Stentorin I showed no significant time-resolved fluorescence emission spectra in the picosecond-nanosecond time scales.
(18) These results suggest that the sensory transduction mechanisms for the two photoresponses are different, although the photoreceptors (stentorin) are the same.
(19) On the basis of chromatographic and spectroscopic (absorption, fluorescence and its polarization, fluorescence lifetime, circular dichroism) characterization of the Stentor photoreceptor (stentorin) for photophobic response, the photoreceptor chromophore released from mild acid hydrolysis has been identified as hypericin.
