What's the difference between terminable and terminate?

Terminable


Definition:

  • (a.) Capable of being terminated or bounded; limitable.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The amino acid sequence deduced from the nucleotide sequence contained both amino- and carboxyl-terminal sequences.
  • (2) Treatment termination due to lack of efficacy or combined insufficient therapeutic response and toxicity proved to be influenced by the initial disease activity and by the rank order of prescription.
  • (3) We have examined the insertion of bovine 17 alpha-hydroxylase (P45017 alpha) into the endoplasmic reticulum of COS 1 cells to evaluate the functional role of its hydrophobic amino-terminal sequence and membrane insertion.
  • (4) The use of glucagon in double-contrast studies of the colon has been recommended for various reasons, one of which is to facilitate reflux of barium into the terminal ileum.
  • (5) Amino acid sequence analysis showed that both peaks had identical N-terminal sequences through the first 28 residues.
  • (6) Plasma NPY correlated better with plasma norepinephrine than with epinephrine, indicating its origin from sympathetic nerve terminals.
  • (7) As a group, the three mammalian proteins resemble bovine serum conglutinin and behave as lectins with rather broad sugar specificities directed at certain non-reducing terminal N-acetylglucosamine, mannose, glucose and fucose residues, but with subtle differences in fine specificities.
  • (8) In the caudal spinal trigeminal nucleus (Vc), the collaterals of one half of the periodontium afferent fibers terminated mainly in lamina V at the rostral and middle levels of Vc.
  • (9) The amino-terminal region of a 70 kDa mitochondrial outer membrane protein of yeast and the presequence of cytochrome c1, an inner membrane protein exposed to the intermembrane space, are thought to be responsible for localizing the proteins in their final destinations after synthesis in the cytosol.
  • (10) The mtRF-1 could translate all of the known termination codons in the rat mitochondrial genome.
  • (11) However, none of the nerve terminals making synaptic contacts with glomus cells exhibited SP-like immunoreactivity.
  • (12) The B cell epitopes included regions of transition between the more hydropathic (including the N-terminal end of the F1 and F2 protein) and hydrophilic sequences.
  • (13) Somatostatin-like immunoreactivity has been found to occur in nerve terminals and fibres of the normal human skin using immunohistochemistry.
  • (14) The seve polypeptide chains investigated had generalyy similar properties; all contained two residues per molecule of tryptophan and N-acetylserine was the common N-terminal amino acid residue.
  • (15) Urine specimens from patient REE also contained a light chain fragment that lacked the first (amino-terminal) 85 residues of the native light chain but otherwise was identical in sequence to the light chain REE.
  • (16) The presence of a few key residues in the amino-terminal alpha-helix of each ligand is sufficient to confer specificity to the interaction.
  • (17) The earliest degenerative changes were seen in sensory and motor terminals at 20-24 h after the lesion.
  • (18) The terminal half-life averaged 12 h following intravenous and 15 h after oral administration.
  • (19) A retrospective study examined the reactions to the termination of pregnancy for fetal malformation and the follow up services that were available.
  • (20) A reduction in neonatal deaths from this cause might be expected if facilities for antenatal diagnosis and termination of pregnancy were made available, although this raises grave ethical problems.

Terminate


Definition:

  • (v. t.) To set a term or limit to; to form the extreme point or side of; to bound; to limit; as, to terminate a surface by a line.
  • (v. t.) To put an end to; to make to cease; as, to terminate an effort, or a controversy.
  • (v. t.) Hence, to put the finishing touch to; to bring to completion; to perfect.
  • (v. i.) To be limited in space by a point, line, or surface; to stop short; to end; to cease; as, the torrid zone terminates at the tropics.
  • (v. i.) To come to a limit in time; to end; to close.
