Words similar to analog
Example sentences for: analog
How can you use “analog” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
The addition of Alexa 488 causes a greater change in the charge of SP, which might inhibit proper ligand-receptor interaction and thus hinder binding of the SP analog to the SPR.
Strain K84 biological control is primarily due to production of two plasmid-encoded antibiotics, agrocins 84 and 484, encoded by genes on pAgK84 and pAgK434 respectively [ 5 ] . Agrocin 84, an adenosine analog [ 6 ] , is effective against tumorigenic strains carrying nopaline/agrocinopine tumor-inducing plasmids, and requires the acc system in the target strain for activity [ 7 ] . Agrocin 434, a di-substituted cytidine analog, is effective against, and specific for, a broad range of A. rhizogenes strains [ 8 ] . Curing of either agrocin-encoding plasmid results in reduction of biological control activity [ 9 ] . Thus, K84 demonstrates the efficacy of antibiosis for crown gall biological control.
On the other hand, PGI 2 decreases vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and collagen and glycosaminoglycane synthesis, via activation of adenylyl cyclase and subsequent production of cAMP [ 17 ] . Betaprost, an analog of PGI 2 , decreases procollagen I and III mRNA expression in cardiac fibroblasts [ 18 ] . These effects may counteract the profibrotic effects seen with TXA 2 and it is possible that an alteration of a "normal" physiologic balance between PGI 2 and TXA 2 could increase tendency towards fibrogenesis.
Examples for analog techniques representing mRNA expression patterns are subtractive cDNA libraries [ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ] and the Differential Display method and its derivatives [ 9 10 11 12 ] . Macro- and microarrays [ 13 ] are rapidly becoming the analog method of choice, mainly due to their high throughput in data production which allows complex biological questions to be addressed.
When there is no perfect reference standard, as in the case of measurement of a patient's sense of pain provocation, i.e., pressing on a "tender point" or "trigger point", then pragmatic criteria can be used as a reference standard [ 42 ] . The visual analog pain scale has been used as a pragmatic reference standard for palpatory pain provocation tests.
