Most fatty acids are non-essential, meaning the body can produce them as needed, generally from other fatty acids and always by expending energy to do so.

Most peptides are synthesized by ribosomes, but ciclosporin is a cyclic nonribosomal peptide of 11 amino acids and contains a single-amino acid, which are rarely encountered in nature.

Most of these functions concern the reabsorption and secretion of various solutes such as ions ( e. g., sodium ), carbohydrates ( e. g., glucose ), and amino acids ( e. g., glutamate ).

Most triglycerides are derived from at least two and more commonly three different fatty acids.

Most of the charged impurities are usually anions such as nucleic acids and endotoxins.

Most serpentines are opaque to translucent, light ( specific gravity between 2. 2 – 2. 9 ), soft ( hardness 2. 5 – 4 ), infusible and susceptible to acids.

Most collective nouns encountered in everyday speech, such as " group ", are mundane and are not specific to one kind of constituent object.

Most instances of elves in ballads are male ; the only commonly encountered female elf is the Queen of Elfland, who appears in Thomas the Rhymer and The Queen of Elfland's Nourice, in which a woman is abducted to be a wet-nurse to the queen's baby, but promised that she may return home once the child is weaned.

Most commonly encountered of the halides is gadolinium ( III ) chloride ( GdCl < sub > 3 </ sub >).

Most lossless compression programs do two things in sequence: the first step generates a statistical model for the input data, and the second step uses this model to map input data to bit sequences in such a way that " probable " ( e. g. frequently encountered ) data will produce shorter output than " improbable " data.

Most ( with the exception of the choirboys ) appear never to have encountered one another before.

Most crystalline materials encountered in everyday life are polycrystalline, with the individual crystals being microscopic in scale, but macroscopic single crystals can be produced either naturally ( e. g. diamonds ) or artificially.

* Most vaccines protect against infections that are infrequently encountered ; HIV may be encountered daily by individuals at high risk.

Most notably, he encountered Guillaume Apollinaire.

Most of the Genesis collectors continuously sampled all of the solar wind which the spacecraft encountered ( the ‘ bulk solar wind ’).

Most programmers today who are aware of the term macro have encountered them in C or C ++, where they are a static feature which are built in a small subset of the language, and are capable only of string substitutions on the text of the program.

Most species show strong migratory habits and consequently one or more species can be encountered at different times of the year in Europe, the British Isles, Iberia, Iceland, Africa, Southeast Asia, Siberia, North America, South America and Australasia.

Most sidecars are also fitted with steering damping devices, of either friction or hydraulic type, to lessen the effects of sudden inputs, as encountered on rough roads, upon the vehicle's handling.

Most commutative operations encountered in practice are also associative.

Most data about pygmy right whales come from individual specimens washed up on coastlines ; they are rarely encountered at sea and so they are not the primary subject of any whale watching cruises.

Most commonly, Europeans learned to identify the tribes by translating their exonym, what another group whom the Europeans encountered first called the Apachean peoples.

Most knowledge of the western parts of the conflict comes through accounts of French explorers and the tribes they encountered during the early years of exploration.

The Annotated Chronicles cites the Dragonlance Adventures, which states that " Most Kender are encountered during wanderlust, a particular phase in a kender's life that occurs for most kender during their early 20s.

Most Democrats and some Republicans are critical of such ideas, partly because of the large ( US $ 1 trillion or more ) federal borrowing the plan would require, which might actually worsen the imbalance between revenues and expenses that Bush pointed to as a looming problem ; and partly because of the problems encountered by the United Kingdom's privatized pension plan.

Most interestingly, where hills were encountered, " road cut " techniques were employed to ensure that the railroad bed was graded as flatly, as possible.

Most of the halocarbons encountered in everyday life-solvents, medicines, plastics are man-made.
