Example sentences for: hydrophobic

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

  • Because binding of cell-surface receptors to polyethylenimine filters is rather insensitive to ionic strength, the ionic phenomenon is thought to be supplemented by hydrophobic forces and hydrogen binding [ 32 ] . The method used with Y-79 cells and radiolabeled PEDF has been described before in detail [ 18 ] . Briefly, cells cultured overnight in serum-deprived medium at 37°C were transferred to ice/water bath for 10 minutes before the addition of ligand.

  • 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.

  • 1. It codes for FFSLLLFLTSFFF, a highly hydrophobic stretch predicted by TMPRED to be within the sixth transmembrane domain of the protein.

  • The flexible ligand / grid receptor docking algorithm implemented in ICM was applied, with ECEPP/3 force field and MMFF partial charges for the ligand, and hydrophobic, electrostatic, hydrogen-bond and surface potential maps for the receptor [ 18 19 10 ] . Further optimization with flexible ligand and full atom representation of the receptor was carried out by local energy minimization, where all side-chains within 6 A of the ligand were flexible [ 18 ] . When docking was performed in the presence of a water molecule, the later was included in the grid representation of the receptor, and was mobile during full-atom local minimization.

  • We also eliminated 3 Pfam-A and 20 Pfam-B families, as they did not contain multiple hydrophobic regions in their hydrophobicity plots.
