How can you use “catalyze” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Many of the kinases that catalyze the phosphorylation of GRs and associated proteins have been identified.
We also identify the potential active site- and substrate interacting-residues and postulate that these enzymes are likely to catalyze a two-metal ion dependent reaction on structural scaffold that is completely different from that seen in the other two superfamilies of adenylyl cyclases.
Game and his colleagues have developed a sensitive means of detecting chromosomal ds breakage using a circular chromosome [ 3 ] . Under most conditions of pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, a circular yeast chromosome and circular bacterial chromosomes will not enter the gel, very likely because they are trapped by the branches of the network of agarose [ 3 13 14 ] . One double-strand break transforms this circular form into a linear form, which can now move slowly in the gel [ 3 ] . We used this procedure to detect double-strand breakage of a circular bacterial chromosome occurring spontaneously or after loss of a restriction-modification gene complex [ 15 16 ] . We found increased chromosome breakage in recBC -null and recC1002 mutants of E. coli under both conditions [ 1 ] . Michel and her colleagues used pulsed-field gel electrophoresis to detect degraded chromosomal DNAs arising spontaneously in recBC mutants and arising during replication fork arrest [ 2 ] . RuvABC proteins, which catalyze migration and cleavage of Holliday junctions, are responsible for the occurrence of the degraded DNAs following replication fork arrests [ 17 ] .
In plants, enzymes of this family catalyze the formation of the plant hormone ethylene by oxidative desaturation of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate, and catalyze the hydroxylation and desaturation steps in the synthesis of other plant hormones, pigments and metabolites such as gibberellins, anthocyanidins and flavones [ 1, 6, 7].
The conservation of all the residues implicated in catalysis in the biochemically uncharacterized proteins such as AlkB, EGL-9, leprecan and YbiX suggests they all catalyze oxidative reactions similar to those catalyzed by IPNS, DAOCS, CAS and related enzymes such as protein lysyl/prolyl hydroxylases, EFE and leucoanthocyanidin oxidases [ 1, 2].
