Alternatives: "providing resources" or "offering opportunities".
Carnitine, therefore, regulates the rate of oxidation of these acids; this function may afford means by which a cell can rapidly shift its metabolic patterns (e.g., from fat synthesis to fat breakdown).
This can potentially affect the mechanism of immunoadjuvant action displayed by PCPP, afford means for its fine-tuning, as well as provide important insights for understanding the relationship between fundamental physico-chemical characteristics of polyphosphazene immunoadjuvants and their activity in vivo.
Ordered mesoporous silicas offer unprecedented opportunities not only in the preparation and clarification of the mode of action of well-defined, single-site catalytically active centres on high-area solid surfaces, they also afford means of designing and producing new, high-performance heterogeneous catalysts, some of which are already of considerable commercial significance.
They are led by an invisible hand to make nearly the same distribution of the necessaries of life, which would have been made, had the earth been divided into equal portions among all its inhabitants, and thus without intending it, without knowing it, advance the interest of the society, and afford means to the multiplication of the species.
A cloister is usually the area in a monastery around which the principal buildings are ranged, affording a means of communication between the buildings.
Other enrichment techniques include stable isotope probing, affording a means to isolate microorganisms actively metabolizing the substrate and undergoing replication [ 20, 21], suppressive subtractive hybridization [ 22- 24], differential expression analysis [ 25], phage display, and affinity capture (reviewed by Cowan et al. [ 26]).
With the distal unit superimposed, the other ubiquitin subunit in the crystal structure is shown as a gray cartoon, affording root-mean-square (RMS) differences of 3.93 Å and 1.68 Å for C1 and C2 closed states, respectively.
The production of these unstable atomic nuclei afforded further means for the observation of changes in the atom as these nuclei broke down.
Simple compassion mandates that patients at the end of their rope -- or life -- should be afforded the means to find some peace from their pain.
It regulates the rate of oxidation of fatty acids and may afford the means by which a cell can rapidly shift its metabolic patterns (e.g., from fat synthesis to fat breakdown).
