betaine in a sentence

Examples

1. The addition of betaine to polymerase chain reactions improves the amplification of DNA by reducing the formation of secondary structure in GC-rich regions.
2. :choline + O 2 + 2 reduced ferredoxin + 2 H + \ rightleftharpoons betaine aldehyde hydrate + H 2 O + 2 oxidized ferredoxin
3. The addition of betaine has been reported to enhance the specificity of the polymerase chain reaction by eliminating the base pair composition dependence of DNA melting.
4. The major limitation of the traditional Wittig reaction is that the reaction proceeds mainly via the erythro betaine intermediate, which leads to the Z-alkene.
5. In particular, antiquitin localizes to the mitochondria in kidney and liver to contribute to the synthesis of betaine, a chaperone protein that protects against osmotic stress.
