Example sentences for: cytosine

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

  • A number of studies have evaluated possible associations between a polymorphism in the cytochrome P450c17α ( CYP17 ) gene and breast cancer risk [ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 ] . Cytochrome P450c17α functions at key branch points in human steroidogenesis, catalyzing the ovarian and adrenal biosynthesis pathways for androstenedione, the immediate precursor of testosterone [ 17 ] . Three polymorphisms have been described in this gene: a C → T transition at nucleotide 5471 in intron 6 [ 18 ] , a G → A transition at nucleotide 47 in the 5'-untranslated region promoter [ 19 ] , and a thymidine substitution for cytosine at nucleotide 27 in the 5'-untranslated region promoter that creates a Msp AI recognition site [ 20 ] .

  • Modified ribo- and deoxyribonucleoside analogs have been used in a variety of applications [ 12 13 14 ] , but their use has been limited in the field of microarrays [ 23 ] . We demonstrate that 2-aminoadenosine or 2,6-diaminopurine (DAP), an analog of adenosine, significantly increases signal intensity for a wide range of probe sequences, whereas C-5 methylated pyrimidine analogs of cytosine and uridine decreased signal intensities across the entire range of probe sequences on our platform (Figure 2).

  • To suppress glial growth, cultures were treated with cytosine β-D-arabinofuranoside (10 -5M) after 3 days in vitro . All cultures were maintained in an incubator (5% CO 2 ; 37°C) for at least 6 days and no more than 10 days prior to use.

  • As a result, Top67 could position itself in the absence of ZD domain at the junction of double- and single-stranded DNA for subsequent DNA cleavage, as previously observed for intact topoisomerase I [ 8 ] . Reversal of DNA cleavage also took place readily with Top67 upon addition of 1 M NaCl and 4 mM MgCl 2 . The ZD domain also was not required for selectivity of a cytosine in the -4 position relative to the cleavage sites.

  • The concentration of the heterocycles was determined by the absorbance values at 260 nm (the wavelength where maximal absorption occurs for the heterocycles) and the biotin-containing nucleoside concentrations were determined by the absorbance values at 294 nm (the wavelength where maximal absorption occurs for biotinylated cytosine and biotinylated uridine).
