Meanings of flexible linker in English

It contains a DNA-binding domain and a dimerization domain, connected by a flexible linker region.

However, in the exocytotic pathway, two SNARE-domains are present in one protein, connected by a flexible linker.

This flexible linker allows for a catalytic zone, which is part of the spatiotemporal control of peptidoglycan degradation.

A flexible linker was identified for CCM3, which mediates a large-scale conformational rotation of the FAT domain relative to the dimerization domain.

The helices of the ACP form a rigid scaffold for the protein, but these are interspersed with an unusual proportion of flexible linker regions.

Both activities are governed by a approximately 200 amino-acid amino-terminal module (E2NT) which is connected to a DNA-binding carboxy-terminal module by a flexible linker.

Gag consists of independently folded domains connected by flexible linkers.

The ligand-binding domains of the lipoprotein receptors consist of multiple homologous LA modules connected by flexible linkers.

We propose that the flexible linkers may allow PKR to productively dimerize upon interaction with RNA activators that have diverse structures.
