It is proposed that the origin of P. falciparum may have occurred when its precursors developed the ability to bind to sialic acid Neu5Ac possibly via erythrocyte binding protein 175.

When lactose becomes available, it is converted into allolactose, which inhibits the lac repressor's DNA binding ability.

The binding of T < sub > α </ sub > to this larger subunits results in another conformational change in PDE and inhibits the hydrolysis ability of the catalytic subunit.

In APC / C constructs lacking the Apc10 / Doc1 subunit, substrates like Clb2 are unable to associate with APC < sup > Δdoc1 </ sup >– Cdh1, while addition of purified Doc1 to the APC < sup > Δdoc1 </ sup >– Cdh1 construct restores the substrate binding ability.

As the magic binding her in time begins to dissolve, Yūko's ability to maintain the shop's magical existence fades and she eventually passes on, telling Watanuki that he will finally be free of his ability to see demons.

When the PCNA binding site on DNA Ligase I is inactive, DNA Ligase I ’ s ability to connect Okazaki fragments was severely impaired.

Chemical specificity is the ability of a protein's binding site to bind specific ligands.

* The ability to specify strict evaluation for a value, pattern binding, or datatype field.

However, results in the ability of these isoforms to bind to the BAD and BAK proteins, as well as in the structural topology and electrostatic potential of the binding groove, suggest differences in antiapoptotic activity for the two isoforms

The affinity of an antagonist for its binding site ( K < sub > i </ sub >), i. e. its ability to bind to a receptor, will determine the duration of inhibition of agonist activity.

Presence of loose ions of zinc and copper does not affect the iron binding ability of lactoferrin, and might even increase it.

While late binding generally focuses on implementation details, duck typing focuses on the ability to ignore types and concentrate on the methods an object currently has.

In contract law, it is the implied ability of an individual to make a legally binding contract on behalf of an organization, by way of uniform or interaction with the public on behalf of that organization.

However, a major factor in binding dirt is the attraction between surfaces that goes under the name of Van der Waal's forces.

It is an accepted juridical principle in California that a Superior Court decision does not constitute a binding legal precedent.

It is not binding upon another Superior Court, which could rule to the contrary.

Only when a decision is rendered by the District Court of Appeal ( or, of course, the Supreme Court ) is a binding precedent established.

A more likely source is alliga, " binding, entwining.

Straw is useful in binding the brick together and allowing the brick to dry evenly.

Since there is no binding authority in the Communion, these international bodies are a vehicle for consultation and persuasion.

The energy necessary to remove an electron from its shell ( taking it to infinity ) is called the binding energy.

These modifications are often essential for the function or regulation of a protein ; for example, the carboxylation of glutamate allows for better binding of calcium cations, and the hydroxylation of proline is critical for maintaining connective tissues.

Alpha decay is the most likely cluster decay because of the combined extremely high binding energy and relatively small mass of the helium-4 product nucleus ( the alpha particle ).

In theory it can occur only in nuclei somewhat heavier than nickel ( element 28 ), where overall binding energy per nucleon is no longer a minimum, and the nuclides are therefore unstable toward spontaneous fission-type processes.

Using this binding mechanism, an antibody can tag a microbe or an infected cell for attack by other parts of the immune system, or can neutralize its target directly ( for example, by blocking a part of a microbe that is essential for its invasion and survival ).

In most cases, interaction of the B cell with a T helper cell is necessary to produce full activation of the B cell and, therefore, antibody generation following antigen binding.

Though the general structure of all antibodies is very similar, a small region at the tip of the protein is extremely variable, allowing millions of antibodies with slightly different tip structures, or antigen binding sites, to exist.

The large and diverse population of antibodies is generated by random combinations of a set of gene segments that encode different antigen binding sites ( or paratopes ), followed by random mutations in this area of the antibody gene, which create further diversity.

Another extrinsic pathway for initiation identified in several toxin studies is an increase in calcium concentration within a cell caused by drug activity, which also can cause apoptosis via a calcium binding protease calpain.

Consequently, God is both merciful in giving the soul what it wants, as well as just in punishing the soul for binding with the corrupt flesh.

One possible derivation is from the proto-Germanic word * bastjan ( from Proto-Indo-European root word * b < sup > h </ sup > as ) means " binding " or " tie ".< ref > Köbler * b < sup > h </ sup > as </ ref > In this case, Bastarnae may have had the original meaning of an alliance or bund of tribes.

The theme of the divine-human relationship is expressed, or managed, through a series of covenants ( meaning treaties, legally binding agreements ) stretching from Genesis to Deuteronomy and beyond.

The essence of Deuteronomistic theology is that Israel has entered into a covenant ( a treaty, a binding agreement ) with the god Yahweh, under which they agree to accept Yahweh as their god ( hence the phrase " god of Israel ") and Yahweh promises them a land where they can live in peace and prosperity.

This is incorporated into the BCS theory, where lattice vibrations yield the binding energy of electrons in a Cooper pair.

In general, it differs in value when expressed in u for a given nuclide ( or isotope ) slightly from the mass number, since the mass of the protons and neutrons is not exactly 1 u, the electrons contribute a lesser share to the atomic mass as neutron number exceeds proton number, and ( finally ) because of the nuclear binding energy.
