Example Sentences

"This is a surprising observation. The MraZ protein is an octamer formed by eight identical subunits joined in the shape of a donut, but with a curvature that would never allow the union with the four 'boxes' of the promoter. However, to regulate cell division we see how the donut breaks and deforms in such a way that four of the subunits can join the four boxes of the promoter," David Reverter explains.
