Example sentences for: nucleotide
How can you use “nucleotide” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
E174 in ACR3 and S218 in ACR4 are required for catalytic function [ 12 ] . Substitution of H59 in ACR1 converted CD39 into an ADPase in a quaternary structure dependent manner [ 13 ] . Mutation of W187A in ACR3 affected CD39 folding and translocation, while mutation of W459A in ACR5 increased ATPase activity but diminished ADPase activity [ 14 ] . Mutations of D62 and G64 of ACR1 and D219 and G221 of ACR4 demonstrated that the nucleotide phosphate binding domains of NTPDases are similar to those present in the actin/heat shock protein/sugar kinase superfamily [ 15 ] . These results suggest that the conserved residues of the ACR1 to 5 regions are involved in the catalytic mechanism of CD39.
Recently, studies employing DNA arrays have also examined the use of modified nucleotides such as DAP, 5-bromodeoxyuridine, and 2'-O-methylthymidine in the probe [ 21 22 ] . An alternative method to increase the probe-target affinity is to incorporate the modified ribonucleotide, as the triphosphate derivative, during the IVT process so that the cRNA produced has the desired level of substitution of the corresponding unmodified nucleotide.
As an example, we show alignments and RNA folds of the four insect orthologs of 2R:11128979, which all adopt canonical, high-scoring stem-loop structures and collectively display patterns of nucleotide divergence characteristic of genuine miRNAs (preponderance of divergence within the loop, slightly less divergence along a nonconserved arm, and perfect conservation of a putative miRNA-encoding arm) (Figure 6).
It contains the 860-nucleotide intron and three others that are over 500 nucleotides.
Presumably, use of the predicted protein sequence of an Arabidopsis gene increases the probability of identifying the microsyntenic EST in comparative mapping of distantly related species, considering the average substitution rate, 6 × 10 -9/nucleotide site/year, of nucleotides in plants [ 30] and the separation, 112 million years ago, of tomato and Arabidopsis [ 10].
