Example sentences for: cysteines

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

This dual CXXC motif, found in MoeB, ThiF, and HesA proteins, forms a metal center with a zinc atom [ 7 9 ] . The presence of all four of these cysteines has been shown to be required for activity in MoeB).
These four highly conserved cysteines suggest that two disulfide bonds may be present on the extracellular surface of ORs.
4, four of the cysteines are conserved.
The hyperthermophilic topoisomerase I from Thermotoga maritima has been shown to coordinate one Zn(II) with a unique tetracysteine motif Cys-X-Cys-X 16 -Cys-X-Cys but Zn(II) binding is not required for relaxation activity [ 33 ] . The sequence of this unique tetracysteine motifs is somewhat different from those present in other type IA topoisomerases in that the other tetracysteine motifs always had at least two amino acids separating the pairs of cysteines (Cys-X 2-11 -Cys), instead of just one amino acid (Cys-X-Cys) in T. maritima topoisomerase I [ 33 ] . Therefore the structure and function of the single Zn(II) binding motif in T. maritima may differ from the multiple Zn(II) binding motifs in E. coli topoisomerase I. Direct interaction between DNA and the T. maritima Zn(II) binding motif has not been demonstrated.
The cysteines responsible for mercury poisoning of water flux in AtTIP2;1 (C116) and AtTIP1;1 (C118) [ 59] were found in the predicted sequences of all Arabidopsis TIPs.
