Usage examples of "peptides".

But the problem-insurmountable, it seemed-was that the mixture of peptides discovered in brains of younger rats occurred in amounts too small to be purified and tested.

Because the rats we gave peptides to have lost weight, got thin, and some of them are gaunt, all of us here assumed their general health is poorer.

He was working on modifying Peptide 7, exploring the possibilities of making other brain peptides, a spectrum which the earlier success had opened.

And if peptides really did code for memories, should there not be many more of them in the brain than one actually finds?

Dozens of such brain-acting peptides are now known to exist, including many closely related to hormones which act elsewhere in the body.

But he died without knowing it, and the true significance of the peptides was discovered by others without reference to his premature and misinterpreted finding.

To demonstrate that learning and memory retention can be improved in animals injected with peptides and tested under highly contrived laboratory conditions is very different from showing that human memory can be helped by popping a pill.

Changed secretion of peptides, amongst many other such changes, may be necessary if memory formation is to occur, but it is neither sufficient nor, because it is a very general process, can it be regarded as specific to any particular memory.

The memory locked in the peptides of your own blood, Professor, not just a representation or an imitation.

What she had done instead was identify the short string of amino acids, peptides, that folded up to form the actual antigen of the viral protein, map out the amino acid sequence, and then bio-facture a combination of different peptides, matching different regions of the viral protein, in the hope that one or more of the synthetic peptides would fold up to mimic an antigenic site present on the viral protein.

But Hiam had not been able to fine-tune the peptides, and the immune response was supposed to be low-level.

The function of these molecules is to pick up bits of material inside a cell, peptides or antigens.

For one brief moment, before the synthetic peptides began to reconstruct his memories, his eyes filled with tears and he could not read.
