Sentence examples for steps of uptake from inspiring English sources

These essential components of the biomass were kept in the ColiPrunedComp model, however, network compression enforced the model to compress the two steps of uptake and consumption of a trace element into one step by integrating the required amount of external trace elements directly in the BSR of ColiPrunedComp.

Czernin et al. [ 11] described the molecular mechanisms of  F− deposition in bone noting that blood flow is the rate limiting step of uptake and showed, citing [ 35], that almost all of the F− is retained from a single pass of the blood; only 10% of F− is in the blood an hour after injection, as F− is cleared rapidly from the blood (by both bones and kidneys).

Once bound to the plasma membrane, it has been shown that STx can be internalized in a clathrin- and caveolae-independent process [5] [8], and a recent study demonstrates that the lipids themselves contribute significantly to the earliest steps of toxin uptake into cells, that is, the formation of membrane invaginations [9].

To study the whole physiological process, the plants grown under low- and high-nitrogen conditions were compared, and the genes, proteins, and other metabolites that played roles in the various steps of nitrogen uptake, assimilation, and remobilization were described in detail [ 6].

The presence of a high concentration (100-fold) of non-radioactive uridine inhibited uptake of 10 μM [H]uridine in all four cell lines by >90%, indicating that uptake, which included the transport step of the uptake process, was mediated.

The C. albicans genome codes for at least 17 putative ferric reductases able to perform the first step of iron uptake via the high affinity reductive pathway.

Given the fact that the fungal genome codes for a set of similar proteins which are putatively able to perform each single step of iron uptake, it is of high interest to study which proteins are used during invasion of epithelial cells at which time.

There is a report that glycogen synthase I activity and the content of glucose 6-phosphate, which is an intermediate metabolite produced by hexokinase in the first step of glucose uptake, were significantly increased after insulin injection into the skeletal muscles of nondiabetic rats, whereas a reduced reaction was observed in those of diabetic rats [ 110].

It has been proposed that gold nanoparticle formation and release occur in three steps: (1) uptake of Au+3, (2) reduction of Au+3 to Au0 and (3) release of gold nanoparticles into the solvent.

The phenomenon of systemic RNAi can be divided into three distinct steps: 1) uptake of dsRNA by cells, 2) processing of dsRNA into small interfering RNAs, and 3) systemic spreading of RNAi effect [ 27].

It also implies that the washing steps employed before measurement of uptake would have washed out a significant fraction of the cellular radioactivity, and hence the measured plateau intracellular to extracellular [F]TFB concentration ratio is likely to significantly underestimate the true ratio.
