node
Biology; Biochemistry
The point of contact of a strand of supercoiled DNA where it loops back on itself. A node, and the writhe of the DNA, may be positive or negative; it is positive if, when viewed ...
fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH)
Biology; Biochemistry
A method for visualization of a genetic marker on a chromosome by use of a fluorescent labeled polynucleotide probe that hybridizes to and indicates the locus of a gene on a ...
vectorette PCR
Biology; Biochemistry
A PCR variation that permits specific amplification of the sequence from a single known internal sequence to the end of the fragment. The source DNA is cleaved by a restriction ...
double-sieve editing
Biology; Biochemistry
A proposed mechanism that accounts for the high selectivity of some enzymes, especially the amino acid activating enzymes. An initial screening sorts substrates by size - those ...
Monod-Wyman-Changeux (MWC) model
Biology; Biochemistry
A concerted model for the basis of co-operativity in multimeric binding proteins, originally presented as a description of oxygen binding to each of the haem groups of the ...
anchored PCR
Biology; Biochemistry
A variation of the PCR technique, similar to ligation-mediated PCR, that is applied to double-stranded DNA fragments for which the sequence at only one end of the gene is known. ...
vibrational optical activity (VOA)
Biology; Biochemistry
A spectroscopic technique for examination of chiral structure, especially of biopolymers, in which the vibrational spectra (infrared and visible), due to bond stretching and ...
