Example sentences for: cys-loop
How can you use “cys-loop” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Surprisingly, the ester moiety of acetylcholine does not seem to interact with the cys-loop of the receptor, as previously suggested by photoaffinity labeling [ 12 ] , but is engaged in similar type of interaction as that observed with the acidic group of HEPES in the AChBP crystal structure [ 6 ] . It is possible that the reactive di-azo group of the photosensitive agonist used in photoaffinity labeling would extend towards the cys-loop, while the conformation of the bound agonist remains in agreement with our model.
A disulfide bridge (the so-called cys-loop), present only in the alpha subunits of nAChR, is known to be part of the agonist binding site of the receptor [ 7 ] . This was a clear indication that, in order to build a dimer interface that includes the ligand binding pocket, alpha subunits had to be aligned onto the template monomer presenting a disulfide bridge at the interface (subunit 1).
