Example sentences for: protofilaments

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

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.
D209A could also make straight, single protofilaments in the absence of DEAE dextran, while D212A could not.
First, they gave mostly normal in vitro assembly of both sheets and tubes, in contrast to our design goal to disrupt lateral interactions of protofilaments.
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.
However, in 0.06 mg/ml DEAE dextran it made some twin protofilaments, which were quite straight.
