Sentence examples for finger loops from inspiring English sources

"The pinky finger loops through the hole and then you flip the fan around so that your thumb faces front," Ms. Reed said.

The Ffh/SRP54 structures from Taq [18] and Ssol [18], [19] however, each revealed differently structured finger loops.

Subtle conformational differences in the finger loops R4 and R5 are indicated by arrows.

The inner αA helices and the finger loops of the 24 repeats line together to form an elongated concave inner groove, and the αB helices of the repeats form the solvent-exposed convex outer surface.

Stem cell antigen 1 (Sca-1), a member of the Ly6 family, is an 18 kD glycosyl phosphatidylinositol-anchored cell surface protein (GPI-AP) composed of a globular core, where the GPI anchor attaches, and three protruding finger loops (Gumley et al., 1995).

Further analysis reveals that residues forming the target binding concave inner groove (i.e., residues of the finger loops and αA helices of the 24 repeats) are essentially identical among vertebrate AnkR/B/G, indicating that both the structure and the target binding properties of their ANK repeats are likely to be the same (also see Figure 1D).

It's still very much missile-worthy, but one design improvement in particular sounds like a serious upgrade: "The finger loop is now soft plastic and cannot be used as brass knuckles," reassures Zero Hora.

(B) Parts of arrestin-1 (PDB ID: 1CF1) that move upon receptor binding are colored, as follows: finger loop, salmon; 139-loop, green; 157-loop, dark blue; 344-loop, red.

This transformational route toward non-zwitterionic finger loop-directed inhibitors led to the discovery of derivatives with improved cell potency and pharmacokinetic profile.

The interaction of visual arrestin (arrestin-1) with light-activated, phosphorylated rhodopsin is accompanied by significant movements of the arrestin loop between β-strands V VI ("finger loop") (Fig. 1), suggesting that the ability of arrestin-1 to adopt a high affinity binding state critically depends on the conformational flexibility of this loop (Sommer et al., 2007).

This structure revealed a large movement of the 139-loop homologue (called "middle loop" in this study), similar to that detected in arrestin-1 by DEER (Kim et al., 2012), rearrangement of the finger loop, and the rotation of N- and C-domains by ~20o (Shukla et al., 2013).
