Words similar to nonamer

Example sentences for: nonamer

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

For example a copy of GGTTT and its complement can form a sequence GG(N 5-6 )CC, fulfilling the minimal DNA binding requirement for the ZAS proteins other than a lack of the 5' guanine [ 25 ] . Similarly, the GT-rich RSS nonamer and the palindromic RSS heptamer can serve as binding sites of KRC.
Juxtaposition of the two pentamers of ZAS-N forms a sequence homologous to the canonical RSS nonamer, "GGTTTTTGT".
While 62% (219/356) of these RSS contain a consensus heptamer, just 16% (57/356) contain a consensus nonamer and only 13% (48/356) contain both a consensus heptamer and a consensus nonamer.
A third sequence was homologous to the RSS nonamer, κB or Sb sequences (Figure 9).
The data suggest that both DNA binding domains of KRC are potentially capable of binding to either RSS heptamer or nonamer.
