Example sentences for: catalysis

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

  • Rapid-scanning Vis studies of the S224X mutants were conducted to probe whether the mutations caused changes in the amount of intermediate that accumulates during catalysis.

  • NTPDases do not form phosphorylated intermediates during catalysis, a conclusion also supported by lack of vanadate sensitivity and Pi product inhibition [ 3 4 5 6 ] . The catalytic reaction appears to be irreversible and no partial reactions have been observed [ 7 8 ] . Divalent cations like Ca 2+or Mg 2+are required for activity, and maximal activity is reached when the concentrations of substrates and divalent cations are equal [ 1 ] . The specific activities of NTPDases vary over a broad range from ten thousand units for potato apyrase to less than one hundred units for chicken gizzard ecto-ATPase [ 9 10 ] . Sequence comparisons indicate that most of NTPDases contain five highly conserved regions, apyrase conserved region, ACR1 - ACR5 [ 9 11 ] . However, the catalytic sites have not been identified, although ACR1 and ACR4 have been implicated in β- and γ-phosphate binding, respectively [ 9 ] .

  • In addition, the putative active residues shared by both AP endonucleases and DNAseI [ 29 30 31 32 ] , are strictly conserved in all the yCCR4-related proteins: these are residues involved in catalysis (indicated by triangles in Fig.

  • This region contains all the signature motifs and conserved residues that have been shown to be important for the fundamental steps of catalysis, including substrate binding, metal ion coordination, and interaction with the phosphate group [ 19 26 27 28 ] . It is to be noted that at 304 amino acid residues, PfPP1 is the shortest PP1 known to date, and lacks a short proline-rich stretch at the C-terminal end (Fig.

  • The pattern of residue conservation seen within this core of 250 amino acids is thought to be due to selective evolutionary pressure to preserve the major function of this gene family: catalysis of phosphate transfer from ATP to a protein substrate.
