Example sentences for: reductases

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

  • [ 30 ] is that three distinct classes of arsenate reductases exist, which have developed similar mechanisms and reaction centers through convergent evolution.

  • At a basic level, these broad groupings of arsC correspond to the three distinct classes of arsenate reductases that others have observed [ 30 ] , and these three groups had low sequence similarity to each other (less than 33% similarity between the Bacteria and Archaea/Eukarya, and 48% similarity between the two major bacterial groups).

  • For example, the arsC sequences from major divisions of Bacteria such as the Green Sulfur Bacteria (represented by Chlorobium tepidum ) and the Deinococcales (represented by D. radiodurans ) are loosely associated with either the Enterobacteriales/α-Proteobacteria (Figure 2) or Low GC Gram-positive Bacteria (Figure 3) depending upon the analysis used, but in either case diverge to form their own deep branches, suggesting that they possess distinct arsenate reductases.

  • Specifically, if the plasmid-borne arsenate reductases are similar, this would suggest a common origin for these genes, which must ultimately be chromosomal.

  • Amino acid sequences of the confirmed bacterial arsenate reductases (12 total) were initially aligned automatically using the Fast Aligner function of ARB Edit 4.1, and then manually adjusted to ensure that secondary structure considerations of the arsenate reductase protein were met.
