Biology; Biotechnology
An antibiotic derived from penicillin that prevents bacterial growth by interfering with cell wall synthesis.
Anneal
Biology; Biotechnology
The pairing of complementary DNA or RNA sequences, via hydrogen bonding, to form a double-stranded polynucleotide. Most often used to describe the binding of a short primer or ...
Antibiotic resistance
Biology; Biotechnology
The ability of a microorganism to produce a protein that disables an antibiotic or prevents transport of the antibiotic into the cell.
Antibody
Biology; Biotechnology
An immunoglobulin protein produced by B- lymphocytes of the immune system that binds to a specific antigen molecule. (See monoclonal antibodies, polyclonal antibodies.)
