Example sentences for: heme-binding
How can you use “heme-binding” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
The multiple aligment shows that the heme-binding histidine of the SGC-β subunits is contained within this domain.
However, neither direct comparisons, nor sequence-structure threading revealed any relationship with the two other well-characterized α-helical heme-binding domains, namely globin and cytochrome C. Hence, it is likely that the HNOB domain adopts a structure distinct from these domains.
Though both the α and β subunits of SGCs are homologous throughout their entire length, only the β subunit contains the critical heme-binding residue.
Studies on the human SGC1 suggest that the synthetic pyrazolopyridine ligand binds at site distinct from NO and heme, but requires the heme-binding site for its action [ 25 26 ] . This could imply a synergy or cooperation between these domains in heme interation and cyclase activation.
Those versions that lack the heme-binding histidine might either non-covalently interact with heme, as in the case of the SGC α-subunits, or bind some other unknown ligand.
