How can you use “polymers” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
We have speculated that at 0.6 mg/ml DEAE dextran, hydrolysis of GTP may occur before the polymers are fully formed and rigidified, allowing the GDP-FtsZ to adopt the curved conformation.
Two-fold serial dilutions of HIV-1 IIIB treated with distinct anionic polymers, and separated from these polymers by precipitation with 3% PEG or by centrifugation at 14,000 rpm for 1 h, and control virus (100 μl), respectively, were added to HeLa-CD4-LTR-β-gal cells which had been plated a day before infection in 96-well plates at 1 × 10 4cells/well in 100 μl of DMEM medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS).
This might be due to the polysaccharide backbone of cellulose [ 60 ] with a propensity to form strong intermolecular hydrogen bonds and to be involved in hydrophobic interactions more than soluble dextrans [ 61 ] and galactose + 3,6-anhydrogalactose copolymers (= the saccharide moiety of carrageenan) [ 62 63 ] . Among the two polymers containing aryl sulfonates, poly(napthalene sulfonate) was more effective than poly(styrene-4-sulfonate) with respect to induction of gp41 six-helix bundles in HIV-1 BaL.
A large suite of conserved enzymes, such as glycosyltransferases (which form the hexose polymers), racemases (which generate D-amino-acid units), and peptidyltransferases and transpeptidases (which form inter-peptide linkages) are involved in the biosynthesis of peptidoglycan [ 3, 4, 5].
Since elicitation of gp41 six-helix bundles might be involved in, or contribute to the virucidal activity of candidate microbicides, it was of interest to determine whether anionic polymers other than CAP also induced six-helix bundle formation in HIV-1 IIIB and BaL virus particles.
