Noncovalent

The issue is the reappearance of a very stable, noncovalent protein-protein coupling. ❋ Unknown (2010)

One such possibility is that the initial version did not involve a covalent linkage to an amino acid, but merely noncovalent binding, producing a modest acceleration of peptide bond formation by virtue of positioning the reactants and reducing the entropic barrier to reaction. ❋ Unknown (2006)

For example, the strength of the electric charge allows both the strong (covalent) and the weak (noncovalent) chemical bonds necessary for proteins to work. ❋ Michael J. Behe (2007)

IL-10 is an acid-sensitive, noncovalent homodimer of two interpenetrating polypeptide chain. ❋ Unknown (2010)

These covalent transthyretin kinetic stabilizers exhibit superior amyloid inhibition potency compared to their noncovalent counterparts, and they prevent cytotoxicity associated with amyloidogenesis. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Its ingredients are held together by noncovalent forces - hydrogen bonding and electrostatic forces, which are also relatively weak - yet is surprisingly durable, Hilt says. ❋ Unknown (2010)

"It's not just a noncovalent gel," he says, "but one with a mechanical strength that hasn't been seen before." ❋ Unknown (2010)

Unlike other gels held together by relatively weak noncovalent forces, the new gel kept its shape even after sitting in the solvent tetrahydrofuran for six hours. ❋ Unknown (2010)

In chemistry, noncovalent interactions are now exploited for the synthesis in solution of large supramolecular aggregates. ❋ Unknown (2010)

For these reasons, most rapid diagnostic tests for infectious diseases are based on the highly selective, noncovalent interactions between an antibody and an antigen. ❋ Unknown (2009)

We hypothesize that Tg forms homodimers through noncovalent interactions involving ❋ Unknown (2009)

The main inhibitors of MMPs are the tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases (TIMPs), a class of low molecular weight proteins that form 1: 1 noncovalent high affinity complexes with active MMPs. ❋ Unknown (2009)
