Crystals , 12 : 521 the term amphitropic has been used in this context. Amphotropism, amphotropic: a combination of two driving forces for the molecular selforganization. The expressions are derived from: amphi-, amph[o]- [fr. Gk. ιμφí-, ιμφ[ó]-] both, on both sides, of both kinds; and -tropic [fr. Gk. ιμφí, ιμφπoç] that which turns, turn, direction. Amphotropic is also used for a subclass of murine retroviruses. There are three types of oncoviruses, ecotropic ones that affect only murine cells, xenotropic ones that affect only non-murine cells and amphotropic ones, that affect both.
