Example sentences for: cations

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

  • Closely spaced acidic residues that coordinate divalent cations are characteristic of the active sites of most nucleic acid polymerases, in spite of the fact that they belong to several unrelated structural folds [ 9 13 14 17 28 29 59 ] . Given that the DbDGD motif is the only set of closely spaced acidic residues shared by the RDRPs and the YRHs, it is likely to form part of the nucleotidyltransferase active site of these enzymes.

  • Numerous factors determine the effect of mismatches, including: the length of the oligonucleotide, the nature and position of the mismatches, the temperature of hybridization, the presence of co-solvents and the concentrations of oligonucleotides, as well as monovalent and divalent cations [ 6 ] .

  • Ecto-Nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolases (E-NTPDases, formerly called ecto-ATPases) hydrolyze nucleotides in the presence of divalent cations and are insensitive to inhibitors of P-type, F-type, and V-type ATPases [ 1 ] . Three isoforms that differ in the ratio of ATPase/ADPase activity are present on the cell surface [ 2 ] : E-NTPDase1 with a ratio of 1, E-NTPDase2 with a ratio of 10 and E-NTPDase3 with a ratio of 3-5.

  • Ca 2+/Mg 2+discrimination relies on the affinities of the EF-hands for these cations, which is dependent on the types of amino-acid residues in the binding loop [ 11, 13].

  • In the wild and in the laboratory, yeast are exposed to stresses such as hypo-osmotic or hyperosmotic conditions, toxic cations, heat shock and cell-cycle disruptive reagents.
