Ribosomes associated with the heavymembranefractionwere removed after treatment.
From theCambridge English Corpus
However, tubulin associated with the heavymembranefractiondissociated from the membrane at metaphase.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Further, a-tubulin was found in abundance only in the lightmembranefraction, and was reduced or absent, respectively, in the intermediate and heavy membrane fractions.
From theCambridge English Corpus
However, in our study the relative levels of tubulin present in anymembranefractionshowed no decrease during maturation and activation.
From theCambridge English Corpus
However, when it was compared with samples containing the samemembranefractionfrom different females we observed that a few protein bands were often variable in staining intensity.
From theCambridge English Corpus
This is corroborated by the fact that a high proportion of extrinsic proteins were present in the lightmembranefractionin comparison with the other fractions.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Various electron transport activities were analysed in the mitochondrialmembranefractionof the filarial worm.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The possibility that monomeric tubulin sedimented with the membrane fractions as a contaminant may be ruled out since tubulin was not associated with the heavymembranefractionof mature oocytes.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The (a) light, (b) intermediate and (c) heavy membrane fractions isolated from activated eggs are shown, as well as (d) the heavymembranefractionisolated from mature oocytes.
From theCambridge English Corpus

From theCambridge English Corpus
From top to bottom: the light, intermediate, and heavy membrane fractions.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The evidence that the tubulin found was not from microtubules which co-precipitated with isolated membrane fractions is as follows.
From theCambridge English Corpus
