Sentence examples for bind to a specific target from inspiring English sources

Whelan is developing new cancer tests based on synthetic DNA molecules that bind to a specific target.

In novel drug design, compounds are usually engineered to bind to a specific target, with the assumption that one drug binds to one target to treat one condition.

To address these issues, there has been a significant effort to augment existing collections with those compounds having a higher potential to bind to a specific target of interest.

This has the advantage that additional constraints of arbitrary complexity can be easily added to a query, such as physicochemical properties of molecules, to consider affinity data from the ChEMBL database or even to exclude ligands that bind to a specific target.

This opens interesting perspectives in the sensor research since it is possible to design peptide molecules that bind to a specific target molecule (aptamers) [ 19] and immobilize it on a QCM electrode by adding cysteines at one terminal.

In 1990, two laboratories independently reported the efficient production of ON aptamers, that is, ONs that bind to a specific target molecule, often a protein, in the absence of hybridization.

An oligonucleic acid that binds to a specific target, such as a chemical compound, a protein or a nucleic acid.

Such sensors take advantage of carbon nanotubes' natural fluorescence, by coupling them to a molecule that binds to a specific target.

According to this hypothesis, transposases could have two functions: one function is to mobilize P elements, the other, to bind to a specific genomic target which could confer an advantage on the host by altering a host gene function.

By changing the amino acid sequence of three targeting loops clustered at one end of the protein, an Adnectin can be designed to bind to a specific disease target, such as a receptor, ligand or protein with nanomolar or picomolar affinity, and potency and specificity comparable to or better than antibodies.

With carefully designed selection strategies, sABs are generated that bind to a specific epitope on the target, stabilize specific target conformations, and identify intact complexes instead of the individual components.
