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

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.
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.
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.
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.
On the other hand, the very high Van der Waals repulsions calculated Table 1(bottom) for alpha4-beta4 and alpha7-alpha7 are a clear indication of a steric clash (Figure 5D): the ligand fits next to Ala 135 of beta2, but cannot accommodate Leu 135 of beta4.
