Some dyes possess an intercalative binding mode such as propidium iodide etc., whereas others such as Hoechst 33342, DAPI etc. possess an affinity for DNA A-T rich region.
This isn't to say that we don't all possess an affinity for handsome men, we do.
Interestingly, the μ opioid receptor possesses an affinity for morphine with an IC50 around 10nM [85] compatible with the concentration of morphine observed in the patients with sepsis (8nM or 2.5ng/ml) suggesting that auto- and/or paracrine regulation involving immune cells and possibly the endothelium exists.
Interestingly, osteoblasts in late stage OA secrete a type-I collagen α1 homotrimer phenotypically distinct from the normal α1/α2 heterotrimer (Chan et al. 2011, Couchourel et al. 2009) and possessing a reduced affinity for calcium.
This helps to support our hypothesis that the titanium oxygen-getter concept could be used in this application to help protect the nickel electrodes due to possessing a higher affinity for oxygen from degradation.
The urinary modified nucleosides were extracted on octadecylsilane (C18) columns (Baker) possessing a specific affinity for cis-hydroxyl groups.
Despite the mitochondrial Ca2+ uniporter possessing a low affinity for Ca2+ (10 μM) (Kirichok et al., 2004), mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake is rapid, suggesting that high concentrations of Ca2+ exist (around 25 μM) (Giacomello et al., 2010) within a very localized area to the SR (Rizzuto et al., 1998).
Shortly after Billy was born, I noticed that he possessed an unusual affinity for organic play, because whenever I took him on picnics he would eat bark.
Biophilia is the theory that people possess an inherent affinity for nature, which developed during the long course of human evolution.
Blon_2344 and Blon_2347 possessed an exquisite affinity for these structures and might be important in host-bacterial interactions.
Recently, it was shown that the pyruvate:ferredoxin oxidoreductase (PFR) enzyme of Chlamydomonas possesses an important affinity for oxaloacetate [ 53], which opens up the possibility that acetate, via the glyoxylate pathway, might also be coupled to fermentative H2 production (Fig. 6).
