How can you use “structure-function” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
It is to be mentioned that among all the Ser/Thr phosphatases, PP1 has been subjected to the most extensive structure-function analysis [ 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 ] . In fact, it was one of the first phosphatases for which the three-dimensional structure was solved [ 26 27 ] . A representative alignment in Fig.
The BTB domain is a highly conserved 120 amino acid, hydrophobic-rich, protein-protein interaction domain that mediates homodimerization and heterodimerization of a large number of proteins with diverse functions [ 9 ] . The three dimensional structure of one BTB domain [ 33 ] has been characterized through structure-function studies [ 34 ] . Proteins containing BTB domains are currently categorized into three groups [ 35 ] : 1) DNA-binding proteins often containing zinc fingers in the C-terminal region, 2) actin binding proteins that contain a kelch repeat of ~50 residues that terminate in a pair of glycine residues [ 36 ] and 3) proteins that have neither an actin-binding domain nor a DNA-binding domain.
As neither Tim8p nor any close homolog has yet had its structure determined, we cannot infer detailed structure-function relationships.
This type of limitation will decrease as our understanding of sequence-structure and structure-function relationships improves and as our knowledge of expression and cellular targeting in plants expands.
Most importantly, in conjunction with robust heterologous expression and assay systems and high-throughput screening of odorant libraries, it will ultimately lead to understanding of structure-function relationships and small-molecule recognition by this large group of G-protein-coupled receptors.
