From theCambridge English Corpus
Collectively, a number of affinity-labelling studies have therefore identified two putative peptide transporter proteins.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Discrepancies in the molecular masses of these candidate peptide transporter proteins could be attributable to differences in size estimation, or that different proteins were derivatized by each affinity-labelling approach.
From theCambridge English Corpus
However, it must be emphasized that these affinity-labelling studies only identified peptide-binding proteins, which could also be enzymes, receptors or sensor proteins and not necessarily peptide transporter proteins.
