Sentence examples for molecules thought to from inspiring English sources
Researchers believe that Alzheimer's destroys brain function through a catastrophic cascade of events: natural proteins start folding and glomming onto each other in dysfunctional ways, a process that in turn creates the toxic molecules thought to kill brain cells.
Neurexins are neuron-specific cell surface molecules thought to localize to presynaptic membranes.
Other small molecules thought to promote hBAT function such as dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and retinoic acid (RA) have also been tested in PAZ6 cells.

The kinetics analysis is consistent with X-ray crystal structures of I-SceI/DNA complexes that reveal a role for the lysines in establishing important solvent networks that include nucleophilic water molecules thought to attack the scissile phosphodiester bonds.
Rat α2u-globulins are proposed to be encoded by an estimated 20 genes, are expressed dimorphically and combinatorially in urine and other exocrine glands, and the structure of a rat α2u-globulin shows striking homology to mouse Mups, including the ability to bind small hydrophobic molecules thought to be pheromones [30] [32].
A molecule thought to represent a central cellular mechanism mediating energy allocation is the AMP-activated protein kinase, by virtue of its activation by the end product of ATP hydrolysis [1].
