Example sentences for: leaky

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

In some cases, reassembly of a new ribosomal initiation complex after the terminator codon of the leader ORF serves to re-initiate translation at the initiator AUG codon for the main ORF, and thus two proteins are generated [ 39 ] . In other cases, leaky scanning by the ribosomal initiation complex bypasses the 5'-located leader ORF entirely, and only the "internal" ORF is translated [ 32 ] . In the case of fs-α 1S , we are not entirely certain which mechanism best applies.
Second, the tet-on system is sometimes leaky, meaning that at certain genomic locations there can be significant expression of the tet-on promoter in the absence of DOX [ 33].
At the same time, it is important to point out that in the present studies, fs-α 1S expression is under the control of a viral promoter and that in this hybrid viral-mammalian expression system, the rules pertaining to leaky ribosomal scanning may be different.
Fs-α 1S M701I did not recover Ca 2+transients in 9 of 9 tested cells, consistent with leaky ribosomal scanning.
Lastly, we assumed that the vaccine was “leaky” [29,30], i.e., that the susceptibility of vaccinated animals was by a constant factor lower than the susceptibility of the unvaccinated control animals.
