Example sentences for: alkb

How can you use “alkb” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • The specific action of AlkB on ssDNA suggests that ssRNA could be the substrate for other members of this family.

  • The sixth position after the conserved basic residue is invariably occupied by a bulky residue that is either arginine (in AlkB) or phenylalanine or tryptophan in all other members of this fold [ 8, 9, 10] (Figure 1).

  • The clavaminic acid synthase, an outlier of this latter family, has its own characteristic inserts, including a giant (approximately 70 amino acids) insert between strands 4 and 5 [ 8], and some members of the AlkB family have smaller inserts in the same position (Figure 1).

  • The predicted 2OG-Fe(II) dioxygenase activity of AlkB is probably involved in the detoxification of methylated bases in ssDNA, possibly through hydroxylation of the methyl groups, resulting in less toxic base derivatives.

  • For example, the insert between the fifth and sixth strand in AlkB is predicted to contain an extra strand, whereas in the small-molecule dioxygenase (IPNS/ethylene-forming enzyme (EFE)) family, the same region forms (or is predicted to form) a short helix (Figures 1, 3).
