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

Our results confirm that the important changes are indeed associated with subunit B. We also point out that the RNA main chain passes near ThrB59, causing us to wonder whether some substitutions here create steric clashes, thus contributing to an RNA-binding defect by introducing an unfavorable contact.
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.
This system is modeled in Figure 6to illustrate how activation and inhibition arrows can be adapted to represent both steric hindrance and mutual cooperativity of binding.
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.
Much of our earlier understanding on protein-ligand interactions is based on the steric factors, electrostatic contributions, hydrophobicity, hydrogen-bond donor or acceptor capability.
