Example sentences for: metal-dependent

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

However, these proteins have several features that suggest that they might be metal-dependent enzymes potentially involved in redox reactions.
To address these issues, we have characterized the RNA triphosphatases of two other fungi, including the human pathogen Candida albicans and the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe [ 10 11 12 ] . The fungal triphosphatases, S. cerevisiae Cet1, C. albicans CaCet1 and S. pombe Pct1, belong to a new family of metal-dependent phosphohydrolases that embraces the triphosphatase components of DNA virus and protozoan mRNA capping systems [ 1 7 13 14 ] . The defining features of the metal-dependent RNA triphosphatases are two glutamate-containing motifs that are required for catalysis and comprise the metal-binding site in the crystal structure of S. cerevisiae Cet1.
Metallo-β-lactamases encompass a wide range of metal-dependent hydrolytic and oxidoreductase activities with a variety of substrates and are particularly abundant in archaea where some of them are involved in RNA processing [ 28].
Thus, we suspect that all fungal species will have metal-dependent RNA triphosphatases resembling those of S. cerevisiae, C. albicans and S. pombe.
