How can you use “millimolar” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
An important aspect of actin cytoskeletal research has been the use of small molecules that affect actin dynamics and proteins that act on the cytoskeleton [ 1 ] . 2,3-butanedione monoxime (BDM) is a small molecule that inhibits the ATPase activity of muscle myosinII and reduces the force generated by this motor protein [ 2 3 ] . BDM was introduced to the cell biology community as a millimolar inhibitor of multiple non-muscle myosins with greatest potency in inhibiting non-muscle myosinII [ 4 ] . It was subsequently used, in concert with other approaches, to study nm-myosinII function in a variety of biological processes [ 5 6 7 8 ] . BDM was recently shown not to inhibit any non-muscle myosins so far tested, leaving the question of how it affects cells unanswered [ 9 10 ] .
Indeed, halobacteria contain millimolar levels of γ-Glu-Cys, but do not convert it further to GSH [ 2].
4-aminopyridine, at millimolar concentrations, completely inhibits K +currents conducted by heterologously expressed KCNA channels and native GC I Kur , but lacks significant effects on native GC I Ks [ 4 12 13 20 ] . Kusaka showed that antagonism of 4-AP sensitive slowly inactivating delayed rectifier K +currents suppressed both basal and luteinizing hormone (LH)-stimulated progesterone production [ 21 ] . In this report, we extend those findings by demonstrating 4-AP inhibition of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)-stimulated progesterone production, and by elucidating the underlying mechanisms.
The Ca 2+concentration in the cytoplasm ([Ca 2+] cyt ) is maintained in the nanomolar range (approximately 100-200 nM), whereas the concentration in organelles and cell wall is in the millimolar range [ 1, 3, 5, 6].
Though BDM has a relatively high effective concentration (in the millimolar range), it was widely adopted by the cell biology community because of its rapid and reversible effect on cell behaviour.
