Sentence examples for functioning membrane from inspiring English sources
Thus it was suggested that the ancient intron insertion sites, which are intrinsically related to the functionally key region of the proteins, in the eukaryotic genome, or possibly in the prokaryotic and eukaryotic common ancestor, and the unique palindromic genomic duplication in the genomes of vertebrate clade shaped an elementally functioning membrane protein family during evolution.
Pretreatment with propidium monoazide (PMA) may allow the differentiation of DNA from intact viable cells, as opposed to extracellular DNA or DNA in cells without a functioning membrane (Nocker et al. 2007).
MitoTracker Red FM can permeate the cell membrane and accumulates in mitochondria based on membrane potential (Macho et al. 1996; Poot et al. 1996), and thus it is likely that the mitochondria observed in all strains, including the Δ ime-2 strains, were active and have a functioning membrane potential.
However, biological membranes are complex, dynamic structures and it is likely that other, unknown factors will be important to maintain optimally functioning membranes.
The in silico organism is able to grow at a very low rate in the absence of the nuo genes indicating that the lack of a functioning membrane-bound NADH dehydrogenase, and hence of a functional respiratory chain, can be tolerated by a network relying on substrate-level phosphorylation.
Vps1 is the only dynamin-like protein functioning in membrane trafficking processes in yeast.
The layer was patterned with a hexagonal supporting structure that serves three main functions: membrane strengthening, electrical wiring and microactuation.
In the end, these lipid-associated effects may affect membrane protein function, membrane stability and the tendency to release membrane vesicles (exo- and endosomes).
The hydroxyl radical in the presence of Cu2+ and Fe2+ ions readily oxidizes proteins, lipids, and DNA resulting in altered protein function, membrane permeability, and gene expression, respectively.
Palmitoylated proteins are involved in key biological processes including ion transport, receptor function, membrane trafficking, signaling, cell growth, development, neuronal plasticity and immune response.
The authors start with a guess – that OCA2, an unknown-function membrane protein whose genetic disruption leads to albinism – might contribute to melanosome physiology.
