Example sentences for: crystallographic
How can you use “crystallographic” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Cyclic nucleotide-gated channels, for example, appear to exhibit functional dimerization of their cyclic nucleotide-binding domains [ 32 ] . The "RCK" domain of BK channels has a dimerization domain even though BK channels, too, are tetrameric at the level of the pore [ 33 ] . Finally, the GluR2 ligand-binding core has a dimerization interface in the crystal structure [ 34 ] . Evidence, including the clustering of residues involved in receptor desensitization at this interface, suggests that the dimerization is not just crystallographic but functional.
On the basis of deduced amino-acid sequences and one crystallographic model [ 27], plant AQPs seem to include the same general structural motifs that have been detected in mammalian and bacterial AQPs.
In the center of this region is a critical glycine residue that is thought to play a role in establishing a hairpin loop [ 12 ] . Recent x-ray crystallographic data obtained from an ACh binding protein (AChBP) shows a loop structure in this region resulting from a 3 residue turn containing a glycine homologous to G147 of the 5-HT 3 R. On either side of this putative turn region are residues that have been identified as important to receptor binding [ 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 ] . The formation of this loop structure brings amino acids on either side of glycine into close proximity and may form a binding pocket that will accommodate one or more functional groups.
X-ray crystallographic analysis infers specific amino acid-nucleotide contacts, but does not by itself allow a clear definition of their individual contributions to RNA-binding and translational repression.
In algebra, efforts to find the roots of equations led to the discovery of the symmetries of roots of equations and thence to the invention of group theory, which finds routine application in the study of crystallographic groups by structural biologists today.
