Sentence examples for double filament from inspiring English sources

It consists of a double filament of fibroin with sericin acting as glue around the two filaments.

Full occupancy of both FtsA and FtsZ in the double filament leads to a curvature of about 60 nm.

As curvature increases, the mismatch of the FtsA (orange) and FtsZ (grey) repeats (5 vs 4 nm, respectively) makes it possible to add more FtsA since the double filament 'wants' to bend.

The following datasets were generated: Lowe J, van den Ent F, 2014, C. crescentus MreB, double filament, empty, http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/explore/explore.do?structureId=4cze, Publicly available at RCSB Protein Data Bank.

Thus, unlike other filaments of actin-like proteins, where the two ends of the filament are clearly different from each other, the antiparallel strands of MreB form a double filament without a clear direction.

Bacterial actin MreB forms antiparallel double filaments.

ParM forms parallel left handed double helical filaments [26] and MreB forms antiparallel straight double filaments [6], while actin forms right-handed double helical filaments [23].

van den Ent, Izoré et al. also showed that MreB double filaments can bind to surfaces that mimic a bacterial cell membrane, and that mutant bacterial cells without these double filaments adopt the wrong cell shape.

Thank you for sending your work entitled "Bacterial actin MreB forms antiparallel double filaments" for consideration at eLife.

The ring might consist of overlapping filaments (as in the stereo view and Video 10 ) or maybe a continuous helix of double filaments (bottom panel, middle liposome with black arrowheads, see also Figure 4 figure supplement 1 and Video 6 ).
