  • (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:

  • (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.

  • (17) Stentorin I showed no significant time-resolved fluorescence emission spectra in the picosecond-nanosecond time scales.
