Examples

  • We have no intention of reporting all the incidents, nor of enumerating the toasts which were proposed to Mormonism, to the old and new faithful, and to their amiable fractions, as Mandibul said, referring to his wives, who were too numerous to be called his moieties or better halves "(Robida 1879, 174-75).

  • The first, obviously, was the bright light of his initial concept, the two altered moieties on the leading antiangiogenesis drug that led to vascumab.

  • It involved the only idea of which he did not stand seized and possessed in equal moieties with Snitchey; but, he had some partners in it among the wise men of the world.

  • Goldknopf and Busch, and in parallel Margaret Dayhoff, identified the nature of the bond between the two protein moieties in the conjugate.

  • Furthermore, we found that multiple moieties of APF-1 are attached to each substrate molecule, and that the reaction is reversible: APF-1 can be removed from the substrate or its degradation products and recycled, though not via reversal of the conjugation reaction.

    Aaron Ciechanover - Autobiography 2005

  • Accordingly, we hypothesized that covalent attachment of multiple moieties of APF-1 to the target substrate is necessary to render it susceptible to degradation by a downstream protease that recognizes only tagged but not untagged proteins, followed by the release of free and reusable APF-1.

  • In a breakthrough discovery, we found that the target substrate is covalently modified by multiple moieties of APF-1, a reversible modification that renders the protein substrate susceptible to degradation.

  • None of the insect AFP's have been found to have carbohydrate moieties, in contrast to the antifreeze glycoproteins commonly found in antarctic fish.

  • Below are some references, but to make a long story short, there are some basic sequence motifs and structural moieties e.g., R-loops that are typical of S regions and are preferred targets for the recombination.
