fibril

Converse of object

• form: Outside the cell, collagen molecules become aligned in parallel formations, and then they link up laterally to form fibrils.
• find: Out of a whole day's work he had found only 2 fibrils, 1 of which was on the first grid.

Preposition: in

• cornea: The lobed appearance indicates the orientation of the collagen fibrils in the cornea.

Adjective modifier

• amyloid: The amyloid fibril consists of polypeptide chains derived from the acute phase protein found in serum: serum amyloid A ( SAA ).
• scrapie-associated: February 1987 The CVL identifies scrapie-associated fibrils ( SAFs ) in some of the brain samples referred to it.
• small: Electron microscopy reveals that elastic fibers are composed of bundles of small fibrils approximately 11 nm in diameter embedded in an amorphous material.
• contractile: Units of the sarcoplasmic reticulum surround the contractile fibrils in the interior of cardiac muscle cells.
• insoluble: In these disorders, normally soluble proteins fold abnormally and become insoluble fibrils that damage tissue.

Modifies a noun

• diameter: Mean fibril diameters remained constant across all corneas up to the limbus, whereupon a sharp increase was observed.
• formation: We now will use this exceptionally favorable system to systematically dissect the driving forces of amyloid fibril formation.
• morphology: Acidification of beta 2 m induces amyloid formation in vitro and variations in environmental conditions produce different fibril morphologies.

Noun used with modifier

• collagen: Lots of these collagen fibrils are bound together to form collagen fibers that easily can be seen with a light microscope.
• cellulose: The cell wall is approximately 50 % cellulose fibrils.
• protein: The fat melts and cooks the protein fibrils in the muscle bundles without causing excessive amino acid breakdown.
