How can you use “half-sites” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
In fact, the purpose of this paper is to attempt to distinguish features within the overlap by defining the roles of A-pocket residues and assigning them to half-sites.
In other words, the V29A substitution fails to complement fully mutations in half-sites A and B. On the other hand, several amino acids with larger side chains, each of them hydrophobic (or predominantly so), are acceptable replacements.
Because one binding site remains intact, such mutant-wild-type heterodimers are functional repressors (except in cases where the mutation affects a residue that plays a role in both half-sites).
Also, both half-sites of the Fnr recognition sequence at dmsA are required for Fnr-dependent expression and are similar in their ability to activate dmsA transcription.
If a mutation complements defects in neither of the half-sites, then the identity of the amino acid is judged important for interaction with both A-4 and A-10.
