Example sentences for: steric

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

The sensitivity of the activity to relatively small structural changes in our work indicates either that amphiphilicity and steric and specific axial ligand effects significantly control binding to the virion target, or that more than one mechanism of inhibition is operational.
For example, bases at the surface end of some in situ synthesized 60 base oligodeoxyribonucleotide probes may not be accessible for hybridization [ 12 ] while other in situ synthesized probes may require linkers for optimal performance [ 13 ] . We present evidence, using 30 base oligodeoxyribonucleotide probes, that most, if not all, of the probe is available for hybridization and that the surface does not introduce significant steric effects.
Glu at 351 may provide steric hindrance that slows the rate of thrombin or plasmin inhibition.
The RNAseH active site must be in very close proximity to the polymerase site and be oriented in such a manner that it can access heteroduplexes within ∼ 18 base pairs of the 3' end of the growing DNA chain, and hence steric occlusion seems to be unlikely.
Probe density may result in steric effects [ 17 ] and could affect the efficiency of duplex formation and kinetics of target capture [ 18 ] .
