The word "subunit" in example sentences

Since the gamma subunit is asymmetrical it compels the beta subunits to undergo structural changes. ❋ Unknown (1997)

The gamma subunit is placed as an asymmetrical axle in the cylinder formed by the three alpha and the three beta subunits and has unique contacts with the beta units and forces their active surfaces to assume different three-dimensional structures. ❋ Unknown (1997)

Some seconds later the GTP, bound to the alpha-subunit, is hydrolysed to GDP. ❋ Unknown (1994)

The alpha and beta subunits in the F1 part, however, cannot rotate because they are locked in a fixed position by the b subunit, which is anchored to subunit a in the membrane. ❋ Unknown (1997)

The alpha subunit, which is the largest, can bind GTP. ❋ Unknown (1994)

Interestingly, most of the ribosomal proteins found in our study belong to the small, 40S ribosomal subunit, which is known to associate with another multiprotein factor that we have identified, the cap-binding complex eIF4F ❋ Vincent Gache Et Al. (2010)

HIFs are heterodimeric transcription factors, meaning that they consist of two subunits: an oxygen-sensitive α − subunit, which is the fundamental to the EPO mechanism, and a β − subunit. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The core enzyme consists of a 65 kDa scaffolding protein known as A subunit tethering a 36 kDa catalytic C subunit ❋ He-Ge Chen Et Al. (2009)

We identified a hinge region, referred to as the subunit rotation motif (SRM), is responsible for transition between different RadA polymers. ❋ Yu-Wei Chang Et Al. (2009)

This striking observation implies that Rho acts like a "subunit" of RNA polymerase that switches to the termination mode as soon as a sufficiently long segment of unprotected transcript emerges from RNA polymerase onto which Rho can load. ❋ Unknown (2010)

In the year 2000, all three Laureates presented high resolution structures of ribosomal subunits, Steitz of the large, Ramakrishnan and Yonath of the small ribosomal subunit. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Venkatraman Ramakrishnan's crystal structures of the small ribosomal subunit in functional complexes led to atomic level understanding of how ribosome-assisted reading of the genetic code can be so accurate that virtually all proteins are made error free in accordance with the blueprints of their genes. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Thomas Steitz's high resolution structures of the large ribosomal subunit in functional complexes led to atomic level understanding of how formation of peptide bonds between amino acids is catalysed on the ribosome. ❋ Unknown (2009)

In this study the breast cells produced alpha 9 subunit (a9-nAChr) of the nicotine acetylcholine receptor. ❋ Dr. Nalini Chilkov (2010)

Phylogenetically, it looks like the ancestral proteasome subunit diverged into alpha - and beta-subunits, whereas E. coli contains only one beta-type subunit, termed HslV, which each harbors a proteolytically active site. ❋ Unknown (2010)

In 1998, Thomas Steitz managed to solve the phase problem and the first crystal structure of the ribosome's large subunit was published. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Each cell contains thousands of ribosomes, which are composed of a small and a large subunit. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The first structure of the large subunit was like a dim photograph. ❋ Unknown (2009)

In 1998 Thomas Steitz solved the so called phase problem for the large ribosomal subunit and could thereby determine the first ribosomal crystal structure. ❋ Unknown (2009)
