Examples of steric

steric
Steric potentials beneath a plane defined by the three putative binding sites plays a key role in determining agonist activity.
As we discuss in the following section, the reduction of such barriers in proteins usually depends more on electrostatic interactions than on steric repulsions.
Thus, the correlation between biological activity and steric 0electrostatic potentials was much better than the correlation with only the position of the three binding sites.
Each inactive glutamate analog had a significant additional steric potential beneath this binding plane comparing with the active analogs.
The steric and electrostatic fields around each ligand were determined.
The different specificities of the two reactions presumably reflect steric and\\or electrostatic effects of the proteins on the potential surfaces of the pigment.
These proteins have a set of conserved cysteine residues that could involve the same steric conformation.
The heterotypic interactions however are simply the result of steric hindrance between cell bodies and primary dendrites.
Note the asymmetry of all the agonists with respect to this plane; most of the steric bulk is above the plane.
It is unlikely that a single taurine could serve the same steric function in a connexin pore.
A more accurate interpretation is that, among electrostatically similar molecules, the steric potential distribution can have a major influence on activity.
Steric forces arise between surfaces containing bound coils when they approach each other in aqueous solution.
Clearly the positioning of large amino-acid side-chains around the bacteriochlorin rings could induce steric hindrance and thereby affect the site energy.
A temperature-dependent force associated with the local concentration and configurational entropy of atoms or molecular groups that enhances the ' steric ' repulsion.
This tetrahedral structure satisfies the steric requirements of the hydrogen bond but is less compact than the most compact packing.
