Fourier transform-mass spectrometry (FT-MS)
Biology; Biochemistry
A variant of mass spectrometry in which a molecular ion is stabilized in a cyclotron orbit and detected by the frequency of its oscillation. The consequent long half-life and ...
a-type ion
Biology; Biochemistry
In mass spectrometry, an N-terminal fragment of a polypeptide produced by cleavage of the bond between an α-carbon and its neighboring α-carboxy carbon. A b-type ion is an ...
time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOF-MS)
Biology; Biochemistry
A variant of MS in which the mass of a molecular ion is calculated from the time of travel from the point of ionization to the detector. TOF-MS uses a pulsed ionizing source such ...
restriction-site-generating PCR (RG-PCR)
Biology; Biochemistry
A method for detection of a specific mutation that does not itself cause a unique restriction fragment length polymorphism, because it neither creates nor removes a known ...
mobile barrier
Biology; Biochemistry
A proposed mechanism of membrane transport. A transmembrane protein, the activated porter, exposes its binding site for the transported molecule to one membrane face and then to ...
bio-imprinting
Biology; Biochemistry
The induction of a new catalytic specificity in an enzyme in an organic solvent. An enzyme and a weakly binding non-substrate/non-product (e.g. chymotrypsin and N-acetyl-D-tryptoph ...
resonance energy transfer
Biology; Biochemistry
A phenomenon in which one fluorophore excites another when there is significant overlap of the emission spectrum of the primary fluorophore with the excitation spectrum of the ...
