Sentence examples for backbone water from inspiring English sources

A series of topologically equivalent water-mediated β-strand bridging interactions within the pseudosymmetric β-trefoil fold of IL-1β highlight the backbone water interactions that stabilize the secondary and tertiary structure of the protein.

Here, we probe these protein backbone-water molecule and side chain-side chain interactions and the role they play in the folding mechanism of this geometrically stressed molecule.

However, and this is the point of this work, water tightness may be achieved even in structured regions with backbone exposure to the solvent: The backbone-water hydrogen bond may not materialize if its formation requires that the cavity-penetrating water molecule relinquish a significant fraction of its coordination possibilities.

Then, HPP was used as polymerization initiators and PETA/St were grafted onto microporous PP backbone in water medium.

The DSE will respond to this large unfavorable free energy in ways to reduce contact between thte peptide backbone and water.

Δ gtr of the peptide backbone from water to either TMAO or sarcosine solution is positive and depends monotonically on osmolyte concentration, thus classifying sarcosine and TMAO as poor solvents for the peptide backbone (14, 47, 55− 55−.

TMAO solution is clearly a much poorer solvent for the backbone than water, and the large unfavorable free energy of the peptide backbone is reduced through contraction/secondary structure accretion of the DSE and particularly from burial of the backbone through folding.

Geometric descriptions of nonideal interresidue hydrogen bonding and backbone-base water bridging in the minor groove are established in terms of polyamide backbone carbonyl group orientation from analyses of residue junction conformers in experimentally determined peptide nucleic acid (PNA) complexes.

Phosphotidylcholine is a major component of all biological membrane; its incorporation in polymer backbone assures water-compatibility, bio-compatibility and specificity to molecularly imprinted nanomaterials, without any cross-reactivity or interferences from biological sample matrices.

The RNA is structurally reorganized inside the nanotube, with its backbone solvated by water molecules near the axis of the tube and its bases aligned with the nanotube walls.

While the structure of the TS remains unknown, most crystal structures of HG bps display H-bonds between G-NH2 and the backbone phosphate or water molecules.
