Words similar to cofactor

Example sentences for: cofactor

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

Since the interactions of Ca +2and Mg +2with proteins are difficult to study due to the lack of spectroscopic properties, vanadyl (V IV=O) 2+has been used as a probe of the ligands that compose Mg 2+, Ca 2+, and Mn 2+binding sites of several proteins, including carboxypeptidase [ 16 ] , S-adenosylmethionine synthetase [ 17 18 ] , pyruvate kinase [ 19 20 ] , and F 1 -ATPase [ 21 22 ] . This cation specifically binds to divalent cation binding sites of several enzymes, and in many cases serves as a functional cofactor [ 23 ] . Vanadyl has one axial and four equatorial coordination sites relative to the axis of the double-bounded oxygen, an arrangement that is similar to that for Ca 2+and Mg 2+.
ThDP serves as a cofactor for several enzymes that are found both in the cytosol (transketolase) and mitochondria (α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex being the most studied example).
Overall, these data suggest CMV may be a cofactor in EBV pathogenesis in the immunosuppressed patient.
This result indicates that VO 2+can functionally substitute for Ca 2+as cofactor for sCD39 nucleotidase activity.
Acl exhibits strong similarity to coenzyme F390 synthetase of methanogenic archaea, as well as to phenylacetate-CoA ligase of E. coli . As Xylella does not appear to make the F420 cofactor that is the substrate of F390 synthetase, the function of Acl is likely to be closer to phenylacetate-CoA ligase.
