Example sentences for: cation

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

The serine substrate-binding region is highly conserved, as is a monovalent cation (MVC) binding region [ 7] coordinating with G232, F/Y306, and G/A/S308.
The CM-52 cation exchange column yielded 7 peaks at 280 nm (Fig- 1).
Of these, four subunits, which correspond to the bacterial α, β, β' and ω, are universally present in all cellular DDRPs and constitute the conserved DDRP core [ 7 ] . Orthologs of the β and β' subunits are also encoded in the genomes of several families of large eukaryotic DNA viruses [ 33 34 35 ] . Biochemical studies have shown that the catalytic site of DDRP resides in the β' subunit and contains three invariant aspartates that coordinate a Mg 2+cation [ 22 23 24 36 ] . Recent structural analyses demonstrated that the core of DDRP is assembled around the β and β' subunits, which interact with each other to form a positively charged nucleic-acid-binding cleft.
This occurs, not by release of Ca 2+from internal stores, but rather from activation of a ubiquitously-expressed, non-selective, Ca 2+-permeable cation channel (CaNSC), present in the plasmalemma [ 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8].
The initial MTX-induced increase in [Ca 2+] i reflects the activation of a Ca 2+-permeable non-selective cation channel (CaNSC) [ 1 4 5 6 7 8 ] . This channel, which has a reported conductance in the range of 12-40 pS depending on ionic conditions [ 5 9 10 11 ] , causes rapid membrane depolarization, which in excitable cells, leads to activation of voltage-sensitive channels.
