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

This means that Thr59 plays a role in binding RNA in half-site B where A-10 is bound.
However, these new results show that a range of substitutions of Thr59 are well tolerated in half-site A, while a range of substitutions in half-site B compromise translational repression, each to a comparable extent.
However, the introduction of a mutation into one subunit of a single-chain heterodimer causes a defect in only one half-site and therefore inactivates only one of the two RNA-binding sites.
When different binding site lesions are introduced into the two subunits, thereby creating a mutant-mutant heterodimer, several outcomes are possible: If, for example, one lesion affects half-site A and the other affects half-site B, one of the RNA-binding sites is doubly defective, but the other is left intact.
The reader should also be alert to the possibility of confusing "A-pocket", which is shorthand for "adenosine-binding pocket", with the term "half-site A", which refers to those amino acids involved in binding RNA on subunit A of the coat protein dimer.
