Example sentences for: protofilaments

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

These lateral mutations did not interfere with GTPase nor with assembly of protofilaments, and surprisingly showed mostly normal assembly in DEAE dextran.
Curved and straight protofilaments, and mutations contacting GTP
The only structure that could bridge a 5.3 nm spacing is the N-terminal segment, which is highly extended in Methanococcus FtsZ and perhaps also in E. coli . It seems clear from the dimensional analysis that the lateral residues we mutated could not form the bridges between protofilaments in the DEAE dextran sheets.
D209A could also make straight, single protofilaments in the absence of DEAE dextran, while D212A could not.
Wild type FtsZ also formed twin protofilaments, but their occurrence was exaggerated with D86K.
