| 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) |

| 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) |
