Examples
-
The reason we knew this was that the renaturation of heat denatured BAP had been demonstrated in classic experiments that had shown that a protein's shape was dictated by it's sequence.
-
In the classical experiments the renaturation had been performed in a buffer containing lots of zinc.
-
Studies on the rate and extent of renaturation in vitro led to the discovery of a microsomal enzyme which catalyzes sulfhydryl-disulfide interchange and thereby accelerates, in vitro, the refolding of denatured proteins containing disulfide bonds.
-
In the presence of this enzyme the rate of renaturation approaches that sufficient to account for folding of newly completed polypeptide chains during protein biosynthesis.

At the time Mark came to the lab, it was known that eggs and embryos of frogs and other animals contained a large population of mRNAs whose general properties had been measured by renaturation kinetics, as summarized elegantly in Eric Davidson's book

I was especially impressed to see the Cheonggyecheon again flowing through the middle of the city thanks to the exemplary renaturation project to restore the stream.

qms commented on the word renaturation
renaturation: n. restoration to a natural state, as a river or wetland.
It is a policy of the European Union (feebly supported) that many rivers that have been dammed and/or channelized be restored to their natural or wild state as the best means of flood prevention and environmental enhancement.
