Sentence examples for bent conformation from inspiring English sources

The twisted state displays strong bending motion, whereby the DNA oscillates between a straight and a bent conformation.

The bent conformation of tetramethylene derivatives is found in a solid state, in dimethyl sulfoxide, and as a global energy minimum during conformational analysis in a simulated water environment.

This bent conformation of the DNA duplex, which would otherwise be energetically unfavorable, is maintained through charge neutralization from numerous arginine and lysine side chains of the histones.

Moreover, studies using conformation-specific monoclonal antibodies demonstrate that β1 integrins adopt an inactive, bent conformation after heterodimer formation with α subunits in the ER.

In all cases, bent geometry was attributed to steric constraints and hydrogen bonding upon adopting a bent conformation.

The open headpiece destabilizes the bent conformation; therefore, acidic pH has the overall effect of shifting the integrin conformational equilibrium towards the high affinity extended-open state (Fig. 7).

The cofactor binds at the characteristic knot of the polypeptide in an unusually bent conformation.

To our knowledge, this is the first observation of the bent conformation in Gram-positive pilin structures.

The observed bent conformation of the N-terminal domain has not been seen in other Gram-positive pilin structures.

Mitchell, W. B. et al. Mapping early conformational changes in αIIb and β3 during biogenesis reveals a potential mechanism for αIIbβ3 adopting its bent conformation.

Here, we report several crystal structures for the SpaD backbone pilin, two of which capture the N-terminal domain in either the closed (linear) or open (bent) conformation.
