Example sentences for: impairs

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

  • To test the possibility that protein aggregates might be formed when any Rab GTPase is overexpressed with a mutation that impairs nucleotide binding, we examined the localization of four additional members of the Rab family containing amino acid substitutions in the N(T)KxD motif.

  • As mentioned earlier, the lack of formal life cycle calculations impairs drawing conclusions about the net public health benefits of increased residential insulation.

  • Previous studies by others had shown that the ectopic expression of PTEN in anchorage-independent tumor cells greatly reduced their ability to grow in soft agar [ 4 5 6 ] . In this latter situation, however, the forced expression of ectopic PTEN effectively impairs cellular proliferation in general, even under two-dimensional culture conditions where the cells are attached to substratum [ 4 6 7 8 9 10 18 33 44 ] . It was therefore difficult to discern from these experiments how effectively and selectively PTEN participates in anchorage-dependent growth control.

  • In an earlier investigation on the role of the p51 subunit of HIV-1 RT, we demonstrated that decrease in size of its β7-β8 loop impairs the catalytic function of the heterodimer [ 15 ] . In the present studies, we demonstrate that maintaining the wild type size of this loop in the p51 subunit is critical for dimerization of the enzyme and its catalytic activity.

  • T790M in the context of either transiently expressed wild-type EGFR or the mutant alleles del L474–E749;A750P or L858R impairs inhibition by gefitinib or erlotinib as assessed by autophosphorylation.
