Example sentences for: disulfide
How can you use “disulfide” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
The sulfenated cysteinyl residue also can react with a cysteinyl residue on another protein or with glutathione, leading to a mixed disulfide.
Capture probes were synthesized using an alkane chain of 16 residues terminated at the 3'-end with a disulfide which was spotted onto the gold electrode on the chips to form a self-assembled monolayer [ 10 ] . The chips were glued into a plastic housing with a port for sample introduction.
contains three glutaredoxins that utilize the reducing power of glutathione to catalyze the reduction of disulfide bonds (–S–S–) in the presence of NADPH and glutathione reductase.
The first, the ER overload response, triggers the activation of the transcription factor NFkB and the subsequent upregulation of inflammatory proteins [ 13 ] . The second, the unfolded protein response (UPR) induces three divergent cellular events: (i) the activation of transcription factor ATF6 leading to the upregulation of ER chaperones such as protein disulfide isomerase, (ii) upregulation of the pro-apoptotic transcription factor GADD153 and (iii) suppression of protein synthesis via phosphorylation of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2α (eIF2α) by pancreatic eIF2α kinase (PEK/PERK, [ 11 12 ] ). Upregulation of the ER chaperones, GADD153 and PERK in response to a toxic insult would constitute direct evidence of an ER stress response.
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).
