Intracellular gene transfer : reducedhydrophobicityfacilitates gene transfer for subunit 2 of cytochrome c oxidase.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The surface properties (charge,hydrophobicity, electron-donor and electronacceptor components) of different baker's yeast cells (industrial and laboratory strains) were also determined and compared.
From theCambridge English Corpus
It is very likely that these processes made only crude distinctions between different acids, possibly just based on their physical properties such ashydrophobicityor charge.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Hydrophobicityhas been found to affect attachment of microbial cells to solid surfaces.
From theCambridge English Corpus

From theCambridge English Corpus
The glass was treated to give homogeneous surfaces densely packed with groups varying in chemical functionality,hydrophobicityand hydrophilicity.
From theCambridge English Corpus
A trend between stronghydrophobicityand high adhesion rate could be observed.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Probably other cell surface properties in addition tohydrophobicityalso affect the adhesion rate of yeast cells to surfaces.
From theCambridge English Corpus
In this study, the adhesiveness andhydrophobicityof yeast cells isolated from food production processes was investigated.
From theCambridge English Corpus
This sequence is remarkable for itshydrophobicityand for its content of tryptophan.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The transmembrane sequence can be predicted by thehydrophobicityof the primary amino acid sequence, which can form the membrane spanning -helical structures.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Other ways of inducinghydrophobicityin membranes is to stress them mechanically, electrically or osmotically so that they are forced to thin and\\or stretch.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Further investigations on the effect of differing surface charge and of differinghydrophobicityof abiotic objects might well provide valuable information about the adhesion of invertebrate leucocytes to foreign objects.
From theCambridge English Corpus
As might be expected, the magnitude of the hydrophobic attraction depends on the 'hydrophobicity' (or decreasing ' hydrophilicity ') of surfaces, although these are not straightforward to define or quantify.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Helm et al. (1992) measured the forces between ' depleted ' lecithin bilayers in water as a function of increasinghydrophobicityof the two outer monolayers.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The dependence of the distribution coefficient on ionic strength was used to rank the amino acids according to a scale similar to ahydrophobicityscale but derived from solvent-mediated effects.
