What's the difference between tarantula and tarantulae?
Tarantula
Definition:
(n.) Any one of several species of large spiders, popularly supposed to be very venomous, especially the European species (Tarantula apuliae). The tarantulas of Texas and adjacent countries are large species of Mygale.
Example Sentences:
(1) Two additional acylpolyamines (Apc600 and Apc728) are partially characterized from venom of another tarantula, Aphonopelma chalcodes.
(2) Biogenic amines, which are components of tarantula Scodra griseipes venom, are studied using tandem mass spectrometry.
(3) The complete amino-acid sequence of subunit a of the hemocyanin of the tarantula Eurypelma californicum was determined by manual sequencing.
(4) Tarantula leg muscles in the relaxed state were rapidly frozen against a copper block cooled with liquid helium.
(5) The haemocyanins of the three species cannot be distinguished by their carbohydrate moieties, while there is a significant difference in amino acid composition between tarantula and Cupiennius haemocyanins.
(6) Expect tarantulas, snakeboys, wolfmen and other scary stuff.
(7) The hemocyanin of the North American tarantula Eurypelma californicum (Dugesiella californica) is dissociated at pH 9.6 into monomers (Mr about 70 000) and dimers (Mr about 140 000), which were separated by gel filtration.
(8) In one case the symptomatology following the bite of Poecilotheria was more marked than after the bites of different large American tarantulas on the same person.
(9) The epitope of monoclonal antibody Ec-7 directed against tarantula (Eurypelma californicum) hemocyanin subunit d and also reactive to Calliphora arylphorin was traced to a highly conserved peptide of 27 amino acids localized in the center of the protein.
(10) The venom of the tarantula Eurypelma californicum was analysed biochemically, the components were isolated and characterized.
(11) The subunits of the hemocyanin from the tarantula, Eurypelma californicum, were isolated, following dissociation at pH 9.6, by a sequence of chromatographic and electrophoretic steps.
(12) Electron microscopy has been used to study the structural changes that occur in the myosin filaments of tarantula striated muscle when they are phosphorylated.
(13) A young woman presented with ocular discomfort after handling her pet tarantula.
(14) This points to a concerted mechanism for the conformational transitions of the tarantula haemocyanin.
(15) Fourier transforms of selected filaments showed a myosin layer line pattern, similar to that observed in X-ray diffraction patterns of intact tarantula muscle, extending to the sixth order of the 43.5 nm X-ray repeat.
(16) 4x6-meric hemocyanin of the tarantula Eurypelma californicum was dissociated into subunits; one type of subunit was removed by immunoaffinity chromatography and replaced by its apo- or met-form.
(17) Electron microscopy of negatively stained isolated thick filaments of tarantula muscle has revealed that phosphorylation of myosin regulatory light chains is accompanied by a loss of the helical order of myosin heads.
(18) Following induction of hemopoiesis, poly(A)-rich RNA was prepared from the heart of the tarantula, Eurypelma californicum, and translated in rabbit reticulocyte lysates.
(19) A comparison of some components of the venoms of two Costa Rican tarantulas, Aphonopelma seemanni (Cambridge) and Sphaerobothria hoffmanni (Karsch) by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis shows patterns similar to those of Dugesiella hentzi (Girard), a North American tarantula.
(20) Sixty and 73% of those cured by sulphamonomethoxine and penicillin, respectively, and 29% of those cured by the tarantula poison (Theranekron), showed relapses within 6 months.
