Easson and Stedman plot
Biology; Biochemistry
A graphical method for determination of enzyme-inhibitor dissociation constants for non-competitive inhibitors, especially those that bind very tightly. Where I is the total ...
Dixon plot
Biology; Biochemistry
A graphical method for determination of the type of enzyme inhibition and the dissociation constant (K i ) for an enzyme-inhibitor complex. The effect on the enzymic rate (v) is ...
complexity
Biology; Biochemistry
In nucleic acid chemistry, a measure of the unique sequences in a DNA preparation; it increases with chain length and decreases with the extent to which the sequences are ...
fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS)
Biology; Biochemistry
A technique for separation of cells according to their fluorescence after attachment of a fluorophore to specific cells, e.g. with a fluorescent antibody. Droplets that contain no ...
Gortner and Grendel model
Biology; Biochemistry
A model in which erythrocyte membranes comprise only phosphoacylglycerols, i.e. no protein or sterol component is envisaged; the model presents a bilayer in which each leaflet is ...
apoptosis
Biology; Biochemistry
A morphologically characterized process of programmed cell-death, initiated by various physiological or pathological causes (e.g. cell turnover, hormone-induced atrophy, ...
