The phrase "are involved in binding" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing the participation or role of entities in a process of binding, such as in scientific, legal, or technical contexts.
Example: "The proteins are involved in binding the DNA strands together during replication."
Alternatives: "participate in binding" or "engaged in binding".
The extracellular α subunits are involved in binding the ligands.
We cannot definitively determine whether these residues are involved in binding of all four ligands, signal transduction through the membrane, or with coupling to G proteins.
Amino acid residues of binding site namely; Lys255, Ser256, Leu258 and Asn265 are involved in binding of these compounds.
We provide strong evidence that at least some of these mutations are involved in binding of sialic acid, a known receptor for the JC virus.
In this article, we discuss recent developments in GlyR pharmacology, delineate the receptor domains that are involved in binding of agonists and allosteric modulators, and present a molecular model of the extracellular architecture of the receptor.
In addition, the aromatic and hydrophobic moieties of bosentan, including the 2-pyrimidyl group, the 4-t-butylphenyl group, and the 5-methoxyphenoxy group, occupy the positions corresponding to the side chains of Ile19, Ile20, and Trp21 of ET-1, respectively, and essentially the same residues of the ETB receptor are involved in binding these ligands (Supplementary Fig. 7c).
TrCys and Met residues are involved in binding to the gold surface.
Together, these results suggest that the hippocampus and putamen are involved in binding together holistic event memories that link physical stimulus and response characteristics with internal representations of stimulus categories and attentional control states.
Alongside the lysine residues identified by Xu et al. (2012), a number of arginine residues are involved in binding the sulfate ions, more than identified in the FGF1/2-heparin interfaces.
Based on the fact that thiols are involved in binding Hg that was provided in the previous study, there is another demonstration that sulfhydryl group is essential for the activity of the enzyme.
The corresponding residues in PstP are involved in binding to metal-ions and catalysis in addition to managing the binding and release of phosphate moiety.
