Example sentences for: polymers
How can you use “polymers” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
They include: dextran sulfate [ 34 35 ] , carrageenans [ 35 36 ] , dextrin-2-sulfate [ 37 38 ] , cellulose sulfate [ 39 ] and naphthalene sulfonate polymer (PRO 2000; [ 40 ] ). Except for dextrin-2-sulfate and PRO 2000, which appear to have anti-HIV-1 inhibitory activities similar to that of CAP, the other sulfonated polymers are less inhibitory [ 34 35 41 ] . HIV-1 may develop resistance to the inhibitory effect of dextran sulfate and R5 viruses were reported not to be inhibited by this polymer [ 42 43 ] . Dextran sulfate was shown to bind to gp120 and to interfere with gp120/CXCR4 interactions but it did not bind to gp120 of R5 viruses [ 43 ] .
At 1 mg/ml FtsZ, 0.06 mg/ml DEAE dextran gives sheets of straight protofilaments, whereas with 0.6 mg/ml DEAE dextran the polymers were mostly helical tubes.
The induction of six-helix bundles in HIV-1 does not seem to be the only mechanism involved in virucidal activity of anionic polymers (compare Fig.
Both polymers contain SAM subunits arranged as a left-handed helix with a 6 5 screw symmetry.
Several anionic polymers were shown to have HIV-1 inhibitory activity and are being considered and evaluated as vaginal topical microbicides for prevention of transmission of sexually transmitted disease (STD) pathogens, including HIV-1.
