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

  • Several highly conserved carboxylic acids in the active sites bind a single divalent metal ion [ 12 ] , and one of these residues has been shown to be essential for catalytic activity of E. coli RNase III [ 13 ] .

  • Ecto-Nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolases (E-NTPDases, formerly called ecto-ATPases) hydrolyze nucleotides in the presence of divalent cations and are insensitive to inhibitors of P-type, F-type, and V-type ATPases [ 1 ] . Three isoforms that differ in the ratio of ATPase/ADPase activity are present on the cell surface [ 2 ] : E-NTPDase1 with a ratio of 1, E-NTPDase2 with a ratio of 10 and E-NTPDase3 with a ratio of 3-5.

  • E. coli RNase III is active as a homodimer, and requires a divalent metal ion (preferably Mg 2+) to hydrolyze phosphodiesters, creating 5'-phosphate, 3'-hydroxyl product termini [ 4 ] . E. coli RNase III cleaves rRNA and mRNA precursors as part of the respective maturation pathways.

  • Some of the RNA polymerases function as single-subunit proteins, whereas others form large complexes that consist of multiple, distinct subunits; however, in all known cases, the basic catalytic activity maps to a single polypeptide containing a characteristic metal-chelating active site [ 5 6 7 ] . Typically, active sites of polymerases contain acidic or polar residues, which coordinate divalent metal cations, most often Mg 2+.

  • This rectification has been shown to be independent of external divalent cations [ 24 ] , and is likely due to a combination of rectification in unitary conductance [ 9 ] and voltage-dependent gating [ 24 ] . Application of a lower concentration of capsaicin (0.
