What's the difference between telestic and telestich?
Telestic
Definition:
(a.) Tending or relating to a purpose or an end.
Example Sentences:
(1) These studies show that telestability effects on thermal denaturation as predicted from equilibrium helix melting theory of linear DNA molecules may explain all the features that are revealed by studying the extrusion of cruciforms in circular DNA molecules subjected to superhelical stress.
(2) The high resolution proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra of the synthetic DNA block polymer d(C15A15)-d(T15G15) were studied in order to more completely understand telestability in DNA, and to provide fundamental NMR data on DNA helices and random coils.
(3) The results of these studies are most readily consistent with long range destabilization of DNA structure via telestability effects.
Telestich
Definition:
(n.) A poem in which the final letters of the lines, taken consequently, make a name. Cf. Acrostic.
