Example Sentences

Fergus Mutch, former SNP head of communications, said the “tactical genius” of Salmond lay in his ability to get the most of the people around him.

From BBC

Co-lead author, and fellow doctoral student, Morgan Mutch used a drug to block the proteasome from degrading misfolded rhodopsin and observed that this negated the beneficial effect of ZIP7.

"I was very surprised, and then excited, when I saw that increasing ZIP7 expression almost completely prevented the buildup of those ubiquitin-tagged proteins," Mutch said.

Mutch determined that ZIP7 was critical in supplying zinc to Rpn11, enabling it to trim the tags that label defective proteins so that they fit into the structure that actually breaks them down.

"That feeling when you discover something new, something no one has figured out before, is the best feeling for a scientist," Mutch added.
