Example sentences for: branch-point

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

In aI5γ it is the branch-point A and the following 3' nucleotide which is a U, that are both bulged out.
In aI5γ, G and U at the branch-point were found to allow for some branching to occur [ 22 ] . Also, it was observed that even if the branch-point residue was paired, it did not have a large effect on splicing efficiency and no effect on the choice of the branch site [ 20 ] .
Although it is specifically the N6 amino group of the branch-point A that is recognized, many lines of evidence suggest that the actual base at the branch site is not required to be an A. Naturally occurring introns have U (11 times), followed by G (5 occurrences) and C (1 occurrence) (Comparative RNA Web Site database: http://www.rna.icmb.utexas.edu/).
From previous reports it was noted that if the branch-point nucleotide was changed to a C, branching was reduced [ 20 22 ] . In this case it is likely that the sensitivity of our assay permits the detection of homing products.
Additionally, they state that a G:U wobble pair above the branch-point is also a determinant, which fits in with the observation that a non-canonical pair (A:A or A:C) is found at this position in some of the revertants.
