Words similar to selectivity
Example sentences for: selectivity
How can you use “selectivity” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
In the original model of motion detection, direction selectivity was proposed to arise in several consecutive processing stages [ 43, 44]: In the first step, the retinal luminance levels of adjacent photoreceptors interact with each other in a nonlinear way after one of them is temporally low-pass filtered.
This K +selectivity filter region is the only portion of KcsA that shares substantial sequence identity with eukaryotic Kir's.
Analysis of biophores #1, #2 (#4, #5) showed that both of them occur in substituted 5-[4-(benzyloxy) phenyl]-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-(3H)-ones and their analogs (Figure 1), many of which are known to be strong MAO-B inhibitors [ 9 ] . Biophore #2 represents a flexible -CH 2 O- bridge between aryl moieties and was found to enhance the activity and selectivity of the inhibitors as shown in the original work [ 9 ] . Biophores #1 and #2 include aromatic moieties, whose main function is presumably to bind to the hydrophobic site of MAO.
Stat3 also contains in its N-terminus one of this motifs ( 221LAGLL 225) [ 39 ] . Moreover, Stat3 also presents a Ser at -2 position of the LXXLL sequence, which in the case of the coactivator TRBP defines selectivity for nuclear receptors [ 40 ] . Phosphorylation of Stat3 has been reported to occur only in 705Tyr and in 727Ser, allowing dimerization and full transactivating activity [ 41 ] . Whether this 219Ser next to the LXXLL motif is involved in the coactivator activity of Stat3, and the interaction of Stat3 with other coactivators only takes place in the context of Stat3 transcription factor activity or also can be part of the general mechanism of the transcription complex formation requires further studies.
This may also be significant in determining substrate selectivity.
