Example sentences for: transporter-like

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

By comparing the amino-acid composition of conserved residues in the TM-helices of the transporter-like families with that of the rest of the Pfam-A families (Table 3), we found that glycine is two times more conserved in the transporter-like families, reflecting the favored GxxxG and GxxxxxxG pairs in these families.
There seems to be a tendency for the transporter-like families to have an even number of TM-helices, because families with 2, 4, 6, 8, and 12 TM-helices have a relatively higher occurrence than those with a neighboring odd number of TM-helices.
We also carried out the same kind of analysis on Pfam-A families that are annotated as transporters, symporters, and channels, and found that 12-TM-helix families are preferred by transporter-like families.
Proline and asparagine are also among the conserved residues favored in transporter-like families, whereas cysteine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, methionine, and valine are unfavored.
In addition, most (11 out of 12) Pfam-A families with 12 TM-helices are transporter-like families.
