hydrophobic moment
Biology; Biochemistry
A measure of the amphipathicity of an ¿-helix. Each amino acid side chain is assigned a value, positive or negative, according to its hydrophobicity. These values are used to ...
electroblotting
Biology; Biochemistry
An electrophoretic technique for transfer of a protein or nucleic acid from a slab gel, or similar unstable two-dimensional matrix, to a sheet of stable material such as ...
radioimmunoassay (RIA)
Biology; Biochemistry
A competitive binding assay that depends upon displacement of a radiolabelled ligand from an antibody by the non-labelled standard or test sample, followed by separation of the ...
glycolysis
Biology; Biochemistry
One of the central pathways of metabolism in most eukaryotes and many other cells; the sequence of enzymic reactions that converts glucose into lactic acid (anaerobic glycolysis) ...
kinetic assay
Biology; Biochemistry
An enzyme-based assay that measures the amount of substrate present by correlation of the rate of reaction with the known dependence of the rate on substrate concentration, ...
endorphin
Biology; Biochemistry
Endogenous morphine-like peptide; one of a class of peptides that are derived from pro-opiomelanocortin by limited proteolysis and have analgaesic properties. The group includes ...
pulse labelling
Biology; Biochemistry
In metabolic studies, the exposure of a biological system (e.g. a tissue slice, a cell culture, mitochondria) to a radiolabelled metabolite over a relatively short time, in order ...
