"The results tell us that nonthermal plasma treatment is very effective at inactivating airborne viruses," said Krista Wigginton, assistant professor of civil and environmental engineering.

Air Force Materiel Command assumed the functions of the two inactivating commands, but the new command was not the redesignation of either of them.

2001), we postulate that certain environmental metals such as Cd(II), Fe(II), and Pb(II) elicit their co-mutagenic effects in part by inactivating (or depleting) Ape1 repair activities.

It's more likely that the inactivating myosin mutation became common as our ancestors began to eat primarily soft foods, McCollum proposes.

It is also used as an additional screening tool prior to transfusions, and has been found capable of inactivating HIV in fresh frozen plasma.

Prolonged treatment with glutaraldehyde or formaldehyde has little effect on morphology while inactivating most agents (31).

Cerus Corporation is developing medical systems and therapeutics based on the company's proprietary Helinx technology for inactivating disease-causing agents.

The bleach breaks peptide bonds, inactivating the allergens so they no longer trigger an allergic reaction.

High pressures inhibit microorganisms by inactivating key enzymes and making modifications in microbial cell walls and membranes.

Scientists sometimes investigate the role of an ion channel by inactivating the genes encoding the channel's protein constituents.

The product of one such gene is a protein known as silent information regulator 3, or Sir3, which clings to the genes responsible for stress proteins, thereby inactivating them and keeping them silent.
