A
"hexamer" is a scientific term used to describe a group or assembly of six identical molecules or subunits. It is derived from the prefix "hexa," which means six, and "mer," which refers to a molecule or subunit.
Full definition
Each of three bound HBDs stabilizes the DnaB
hexamer in a conformation that may increase its processivity.
cDNA was synthesized using the RevertAid H Minus First Strand cDNA synthesis kit (Fermentas), using both random
hexamer primers and oligo - dT primers.
DNA was isolated from blood and bone marrow samples using the QIAamp DNA Blood Maxi Kit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA), and cDNA was synthesized from RNA using random
hexamer priming.
This is a model of a retrovirus
capsid hexamer, showing the conserved beta - hairpin domains common to most kinds of retroviruses (circled) and a pocket containing additional sites thought to affect recognition of lentiviruses by the TRIM5 anti-viral defense proteins of old world monkeys (arrow).
The geometrical structures and hydrogen - bond tunneling pathways of the water trimer, tetramer, pentamer, and
hexamer systems have recently been characterized with global analysis of potential surfaces, diffusion Monte Carlo calculations, and far - infrared laser vibration - rotation tunneling spectroscopy.
Structure of the HIV Protein Shell Reveals Clues for New Therapies - «No one had been able to visualize the
CA hexamer at atomic resolution,» says Professor Mark Yeager.
No. 18080051, random
hexamer priming) was used to generate cDNA starting from 1.5 μg of total RNA.
The structures of the two enzymes that initiate replication on single - stranded DNA show that one stimulates the other by stabilizing it as
a hexamer in an activated conformation.
The crystal structures of hexameric DnaB and its complex with the helicase binding domain (HBD) of DnaG reveal that within
the hexamer the two domains of DnaB pack with strikingly different symmetries to form a distinct two - layered ring structure.
Only when the body requires insulin
the hexamer divides into monomers available for blood sugar regulation.
In the body it is stored as a zinc - bound complex of six identical molecules, called
a hexamer.
For the transcriptome dataset, we trimmed the first and last six bases from each aligned molecule to avoid problems that may be caused by a nonrandom composition of
the hexamer pools during cDNA synthesis.
