Example sentences for: hydroxide

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

  • Quicklime is quick (that is, alive, as in the quick and the dead) because it is anhydrous (Greek for unwatered) and soaks up water with a vengeance to make slaked lime (calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2, from CaO + H2O), which is what makes quicklime so useful as the binding agent in mortar, cement, and concrete.

  • The Zn 1 site has 3 histidine residues and 1 bridging hydroxide as ligands, and the Zn 2 site has 2 histidines, 1 aspartic acid, 1 terminally-bound water, and the bridging hydroxide as ligands.

  • 154 M ATP-disodium salt, 0.053 M Glycine, 0.029 M calcium chloride, 0.065 M sodium chloride, 0.048 M sodium hydroxide, pH 9.4).

  • The DNA was transferred to a membrane (Zeta-probe GT genomic tested blotting membrane, Bio-Rad, CA) with 0.4 M sodium hydroxide after treatment with 0.25 N hydrochloric acid as suggested by the manufacturer.

  • Efforts to solve the crystal structure of one of the metallo-β-lactamases with a bound substrate molecule have failed, most likely due to the high activity of the enzymes towards all β-lactam containing antibiotics [ 37 54 ] . Therefore, computational studies have been used extensively to study substrate binding, the role of the Zn(II) ions in catalysis, the protonation state of the active site, and inhibitor binding [ 37 42 55 56 57 58 59 ] . All of the substrate binding models have made assumptions before the substrate was docked into the active site [ 37 42 ] , and some of these assumptions have been shown to be invalid for certain substrates [ 43 ] . With L1, two key assumptions were made: (1) the bridging hydroxide functions as the nucleophile during catalysis and (2) Zn 1 coordinates the β-lactam carbonyl [ 37 ] . With these assumptions and after energy minimizations, Ser224 was predicted to hydrogen bond to the substrate carboxylate [ 37 ] , reminiscent of the role predicted for Lys224 in CcrA [ 42 ] .
