Words similar to quaternary
Example sentences for: quaternary
How can you use “quaternary” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
We show that, in spite of the functional similarities, and the similar quaternary structures, there are three distinct superfamilies of SSAPs, namely the RecT/Redβ, RAD52 and ERF, that appear to be evolutionarily unrelated to each other.
Indeed, a correlation between EC50 values and quantum mechanics simulations strongly suggests the existence of a cation-pi interaction between a triptophan residue of the ligand binding pocket and the quaternary ammonium of acetylcholine [ 9 ] . A series of grid representations of the ligand binding pocket was generated that accounted for Van der Waals shape, electrostatic potential, as well as hydrogen bonding and hydrophobicity profiles.
The ERF protein of phage P22 is involved in the circularization of the linear dsDNA phage genome upon entry into the host cell [ 21 22 23 ] . Experimental studies have shown that, mutations in ERF are complemented by Redβ and that in vitro ERF adopts quaternary structures analogous to those of Redβ and RecT [ 14 17 24 25 ] . However, in the comprehensive analysis of the RecT/Redβ superfamily no statistically significant similarity could be detected between these proteins and the ERF proteins.
S. pombe RNA triphosphatase Pct1 is a 303-amino acid polypeptide with a homodimeric quaternary structure [ 12 ] . The pct1 +gene contains a single intron within the open reading frame [ 12 ] . S. pombe RNA guanylyltransferase Pce1 is a 402-amino acid monomeric protein [ 20 ] ; there are no introns within the pce1 +gene.
Several lines of evidence, including genetic analyses, and similarities in biochemistry and quaternary structures, suggest that the E. coli RecT and phage λ Redβ proteins are functionally equivalent as mediators of single-strand exchange in DNA recombination [ 10 12 ] . However, no sequence similarity has been detected between these proteins leaving their actual evolutionary relationships unresolved.
