| arsenite(antimonate)-stimulated ATPase | <enzyme> Anion pump with 2 polypeptide components (arsa and arsb); arsa is the catalytic subunit of an oxyanion-translocating atpase; arsb protein has been localised in the inner membrane of E coli; arsc protein required for arsenate resistance; reduces arsenate to arsenite Registry number: EC 3.6.1.- Synonym: arsa protein, arsb protein, ars gene product, arsc protein, anion-translocating atpase, arsenical resistance pump, oxyanion pump, arsenate reductase (26 Jun 1999) |
| vasodilator stimulated phosphoprotein | <protein> A 46/50 kD protein that is a substrate for both cAMP and cGMP dependent protein kinases and that is associated with microfilament bundles in many tissue cells. Abundant in platelets, phosphorylation of VASP will inhibit platelet activation. (18 Nov 1997) |
| stimulated emission | <radiobiology> Radiation coherently emitted by excited ions when driven by a passing light wave and the appropriate transition wavelength. Laser means Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation, it occurs when there is a population inversion between the upper and lower energy states of the transition, such that stimulated emission can dominate excitation. Stimulated emission is coherent and codirectional with the stimulating wave, and the rate of stimulated emission is proportional to the intensity of the stimulating wave. (09 Oct 1997) |
| osteogenesis | <pathology> Production of bone. (18 Nov 1997) |
| osteogenesis, distraction | Bone lengthening by gradual mechanical distraction. An external fixation device produces the distraction across the bone plate. The technique was originally applied to long bones but in recent years the method has been adapted for use with mandibular implants in maxillofacial surgery. (12 Dec 1998) |
| osteogenesis imperfecta | <orthopaedics, paediatrics> A group of genetic diseases of the bones. Divided into four types all result in brittle and frail bones. Multiple broken bones are common. Other features include deafness, white of the eyes appear bluish, kyphosis, kyphoscoliosis, tooth abnormalities, chest deformities and short stature. There is no specific treatment. Genetic counseling is important for families with the disease. (27 Sep 1997) |
