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

This did not agree with our initial expectations that reduced GTP hydrolysis would lock the protofilaments into the straight conformation.
The lateral mutants had mostly normal GTPase activity, which was expected since the GTPase is thought to be triggered by assembly into protofilaments, which does not involve the lateral surfaces.
The straight conformation was seen in single protofilaments assembled from purified FtsZ with GTP or the slowly hydrolyzable analog GMPCPP, and in protofilament sheets assembled with DEAE dextran.
The protofilaments in both sheets and tubes assembled in DEAE dextran are spaced 5.3-5.
This demonstrates that the synergy loop mutants can make straight protofilaments under certain conditions.
