    wann of und wann for

    Comment
    Hallo,
    da ich nun schon mehrfach hier Sätze herein gestellt habe, wo ich unsicher war ob da of oder for hinkommt, möchte ich ganz allgemein mal fragen wann das eine, wann das andee kommt. Ich habe da nämlich schon wieder einen Satz, wo ich etwass überfragt bin:

    Contrary to drug E, the concept of cell-cycle-mediated drug resistance for/of drug T is well defined.

    I'm going to assume* that you mean resistance to drug T.

    First, note that your sentence structure fails to correctly indicate what is being contrasted. Your first clause--"Contrary to drug E"--refers to the next thing in the sentence--"the concept of cell-cycle-mediated resistance."

    Accordingly, my suggestion:

    Contrary to that of drug E, the concept of cell-cycle-mediated resistance to drug T is well defined.


    *I'm neither a medical doctor nor other type of scientist, and the medical gurus might correct me. (They have done so in the past.)

    Hallo,
    danke für deine Antwort!Ja, du hast vollkommen recht! An dieser Stelle kommt ganz klar to hin- deshalb hörten sich of und for für mich seltsam an ;-) Danke dir!

    OP: möchte ich ganz allgemein mal fragen,(!) wann das eine, wann das andere(!) kommt.
    Wie das so üblich ist bei Präpositionen, gibt es dafür keine Regel. Man muss das einfach mitlernen oder eben nachschlagen.

    Here goes ...
    Even with the suggestion in #1 it's still not clear what you are actually trying to say.

    If "that" refers to "the concept of cell-cycle-mediated resistance", then the sentence now reads:
    "Contrary to the concept of cell-cycle-mediated resistance of drug E, the concept of cell-cycle-mediated resistance to drug T is well defined",
    which is contrasting "of" with "to".

    Do you mean
    ... the concept of cell-cycle-mediated drug resistance is well defined for drug T but not for drug E
    ... the concept of cell-cycle-mediated drug resistance to drug T is well defined but not the concept of cell-cycle-mediated drug resistance to drug E.
    or simply
    ... cell-cycle-mediated drug resistance is well described for drug T but not for drug E.
    KISS
