Sentence examples for shapes of enzyme from inspiring English sources

The different electrophoretic mobilities of zymograms resulted from the different sizes and shapes of enzyme molecules; therefore, their variations indicate genetic variation induced due to ELF stress [ 27].

The qualitative analysis was started by comparison of the sizes and shapes of the enzyme active site cavities, but this resulted in no obvious or characteristic differences between OYEs with pronounced nitro reducing activity or C=C bond reducing activity.

From bouncing X-rays off proteins, chemists knew the shapes of some enzymes, but less about their functions.

The evolved variant performed better in E. coli than in human cells, suggesting optimal usefulness in bacterial rather than viral GDEPT vectors, and highlighting the influence of intracellular environs on enzyme function and the shaping of promiscuous enzyme activities within the "black box" of in vivo evolution.

The first mutation was meant to destabilise the intermediate shape of the enzyme, which resulted in the enzyme binding more tightly to the peptidoglycan in the final step and releasing it more slowly.

For example, when a deoxyribonucleotide called dGTP is plentiful, it binds to a so-called "specificity site" on the enzyme and alters the shape of the enzyme's active site.

This is the basis of the so-called induced-fit theory, which states that the binding of a substrate or some other molecule to an enzyme causes a change in the shape of the enzyme so as to enhance or inhibit its activity.

The characteristics of an enzyme derive from the sequence of amino acids, which determine the shape of the enzyme (i.e., the structure of the active site) and hence the specificity of the enzyme.

The interaction changes the shape of the enzyme so as to affect the formation at the active site of the usual complex between the enzyme and its substrate (the compound upon which it acts to form a product).

Dickson Despommier, a professor at the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University, said that "cooking denatures the shape of the enzyme molecule".

Interactions with the appropriate molecules at these regulatory sites cause changes in the shape of the enzyme molecule.
