Usage Examples
Converse of object
- call: Two of the compounds also led to a fourfold boost in production of a detoxifying enzyme called quinone reductase in mouse liver cells.
- inhibit: Saw Palmetto inhibits the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, which in turn reduces the amount of DHT produced.
Adjective modifier
- dihydrofolate: More importantly the easily understandable rules provided insights which were directly comparable to the relevant literature concerning the binding site of dihydrofolate reductase.
- fumarate: Other organisms can use fumarate reductase for ATP production by anaerobic respiration.
- soluble: Kinetic an crystallographic analysis of the key active site acid/base arginine in a soluble fumarate reductase.
- bacterial: Identification of the active site acid/base catalyst in a bacterial fumarate reductase: a kinetic and crystallographic study.
- unique: Structural and mechanistic mapping of a unique fumarate reductase.
Modifies a noun
- inhibitor: The second group, the 5-alpha reductase inhibitors carry out their work by blocking the production of the main hormone responsible for prostate enlargement.
- deficiency: A good example of this, which will be discussed elsewhere on this site, is the intersex condition, five alpha reductase deficiency.
- gene: Yellow poplar saplings, expressed with the bacterial mercuric reductase gene, also take up mercury from the soil ( Rugh C.L et al.
- activity: Rosuvastatin accounts for greater than 90 % of the circulating HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor activity.
- enzyme: Certain combinations of minerals, herbs and vitamins bind with the 5-alpha reductase enzyme to stop it converting testosterone to dihydrotestosterone.
- domain: The C-terminal or reductase domain binds FMN, FAD and NADPH.
Noun used with modifier
- ribonucleotide: Substrate binding to this site is thought to affect enzyme activity by altering the relative positions of the two subunits of ribonucleotide reductase.
- aldose: The new compound showed weak activity against aldose reductase.
- 5-alpha: Saw Palmetto inhibits the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, which in turn reduces the amount of DHT produced.
- glutathione: During the initial glutathione reductase reaction a hydride ion is transferred from the bound coenzyme NADPH to the flavin ring system of FAD.
- fumarate: Structural and mechanistic mapping of a unique fumarate reductase.
- nitrite: Initial results suggest a shift in nitrite reductase diversity under the L. perenne and fallow treatments.
