Example sentences for: alanine
How can you use “alanine” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
The putative MAP kinase site on the 5-HT 2C receptor, serine 159, was mutated to alanine by PCR with primers containing an alanine codon at the place for serine 159.
The alanine at position 16 was previously identified as a critical residue in the LcrG-LcrV interaction [ 20 ] . Two mutations were characterized at this position (A16R and A16D) and they failed to interact with LcrV, showing that single substitutions of this kind can disrupt the LcrG-LcrV interaction [ 20 ] . Additional data from this study showed that a substitution of the leucine at position 30 with an arginine also prevented the LcrG-LcrV interaction in yeast (Table 2).
Sequence analysis revealed a T to C (Figure 1A) substitution in third position of codon encoding alanine at 1403 position of mRNA and A to G (Figure 1B) substitution at position 2242 of mRNA.
These results showed that single alanine substitutions are insufficient to disrupt the LcrG-LcrV interaction.
However, in the complex with RAR-α, this ketone oxygen shares an hydrogen atom with the hydroxyl group of serine 234, and forms a stabilizing hydrogen bond, while a steric clash occurs in the other two RAR isoforms, where residue 234 is an alanine.
