mass spectrometry
Biology; Biochemistry
A technique for separation of a stream of large ions accelerated in a magnetic field. The resistance to deflection of the ion from its path is a measure of the momentum of the ...
lipid bilayer (bimolecular sheet)
Biology; Biochemistry
A synthetic or natural membrane in which amphipathic lipids are arranged in two layers with their non-polar chains directed inwards, towards each other, and their polar groups ...
unit membrane Danielli-Davson model
Biology; Biochemistry
A model for the structure of biological membranes; a variation of the Danielli-Davson model in which the membrane is composed of plaques of bilayer (the unit membrane); the outer ...
difference Patterson map
Biology; Biochemistry
An interim stage in the solution of a molecular structure from X-ray crystallographic data. Using only the intensities due to heavy atom reflections obtained by subtraction of the ...
molten globule intermediate
Biology; Biochemistry
A stable intermediate between the denatured and native states of a protein which is characterized by a high content of secondary structure but poorly defined tertiary structure, ...
kinetic partitioning
Biology; Biochemistry
The hypothesis that in folding of a newly synthesized or renaturing biopolymer, a protein or RNA quickly collapses into condensed structures characterized by a high degree of ...
kinetic proofreading
Biology; Biochemistry
A mechanism for assuring fidelity in directed macromolecular synthesis; e.g. in protein synthesis a well matched anti-codon-codon pair, as opposed to a poorly matched pair, will ...
