Example sentences for: steric

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

Probe density may result in steric effects [ 17 ] and could affect the efficiency of duplex formation and kinetics of target capture [ 18 ] .
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.
Apparently, other amino acids with small side chains can replace the glycines while maintaining the β-hairpin conformation of the phosphate-binding loop and avoiding steric interference with ATP binding.
This is manifest as steric complementarity, i.e. the shape of the ligand is mirrored in the shape of the binding site, allowing molecular interactions between two molecules [ 31 ] . MD simulations allow rearrangement of the protease side chain, especially on the active site surface, which improves the interacting surface complementarities of the complex.
