Example sentences for: nonamer

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

These data suggest that with respect to the RSS canonical elements, KRC/ZAS-N binds the nonamer more efficiently while KRC/ZAS-C binds the heptamer more efficiently, and that two KRC molecules may be needed to bind a single RSS element.
Juxtaposition of the two pentamers of ZAS-N forms a sequence homologous to the canonical RSS nonamer, "GGTTTTTGT".
These are the spacer, especially the nonamer-proximal half, and the positions of the heptamer and nonamer that are adjacent to the spacer (Figure 1b).
The mouse TCR αchain J gene segments (TCRAJ) and the human Igκ light chain genes (IgVκ) were analyzed, taking advantage of the fact that both loci have been sequenced and the location and sequence of their RSSs have been characterized [ 45 46 ] . Of the 97 IgVκ gene segments listed, 42 (43%) have a nonamer, a heptamer or both matching a sequence within the datasets (Figure 15).
Because the pentameric motifs derived from the KRC/ZAS-N dataset more closely resemble the canonical RSS nonamer and the motif derived from the KRC/ZAS-C dataset more closely resemble the canonical RSS heptamer and a canonical sequence was derived from the majority of sequences, we propose that the ZAS-N domain of KRC binds RSS nonamers more frequently than the ZAS-C domain, and vice versa for the RSS heptamer in vivo .
