Example sentences for: conjoined

How can you use “conjoined” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • The first is an absorbing, low-budget art movie about conjoined twins, the weaker of whom is dying and mordant, the other torn (so to speak) between loyalty to his brother and a tenuous connection to the external world--embodied in part by a prostitute (Michele Hicks) who looks like Bridget Fonda as Vampira and acts like a slightly less wooden porn star.

  • This David Lynch-ian film about a love triangle involving a pair of conjoined twins and a prostitute provokes a fittingly dual response from reviewers.

  • As always in any collection of wordplays, many— most—are terrible or toothless (e.g., Tuning Fork , which lacks the desirable distance between the two items suddenly conjoined).

  • The second part, ‘The Dangerous Womb’, is about birth defects, conjoined twins, and basic embryology.

  • For example, Herschlag and co-workers have previously shown that a nucleobase could complement an abasic site within the hammerhead ribozyme, restoring cleavage activity [ 1 ] . Similarly, Porta and Lizardi engineered a hammerhead ribozyme that assumed an inactive secondary structure; upon the addition of an oligonucleotide that disrupted the engineered secondary structure, the ribozyme was activated [ 2 ] . More recently, it has previously been shown that many selected nucleic acid binding species (aptamers) undergo conformational changes upon ligand binding [ 3 4 5 6 ] In addition, when aptamers are conjoined to ribozymes, the ligand-induced conformational changes in the aptamers frequently modulate the structures and hence the activities of the ribozymes [ 7 8 9 ] For example, binding of theophylline to the anti-theophylline aptamer [ 10 ] modulates the conformation of residue [ 11 12 ] and the overall stability of the aptamer [ 10 13 ] . Appending the anti-theophylline aptamer to the hammerhead ribozyme allowed cleavage activity to be modulated by 110-fold by theophylline [ 13 ] . Similarly, appending the anti-theophylline aptamer to a small ribozyme ligase (L1) generated an aptazyme that was activated 1,600-fold by saturating theophylline concentrations [ 14 ] .
