1A tube containing an electrolyte (typically in the form of a gel), providing electrical contact between two solutions.
盐桥
2A link between electrically charged acidic and basic groups, especially on different parts of a large molecule such as a protein.
(尤指大分子内)正负电荷的连接
Example sentencesExamples
The phosphate chain forms salt bridges and direct or water-mediated hydrogen bonds with the NH of tryptophan 166 indole rings as well as positively charged lysines and arginines.
It has been proposed that the first step could be a salt bridge between the amino acid lysine and the phosphate group of the phospholipid molecules, which acts as an ‘interfacial anchor’.
According to the crystal structure, Asp 127, the catalytic base, and Arg 129, both conserved residues of serine/threonine kinases, form a double salt bridge.
We have shown that 50% of the stored energy is electrostatic, mainly due to stretching of the salt bridge between the protonated Schiff base and the Glu - 113 counterion.
Recognizing the different roles of semi-buried salt bridges and exposed charges is very important.
